| Posted: 27 Jun 2013 09:34 AM PDT Typically you'd expect a pillow to give you a good night's sleep. However with the Cellular Pillow you can expect refreshed air and deeper connection with the environment. Basically the pillow is an air cleaning system that refreshes the air around us when we sleep. Kinda makes it like how it would feel like if we were sleeping in the forest. The pillow consists of numerous cell containers with aloe cells, which clean bacteria and release oxygen, allowing you to breathe fresh air in your sleep and wake up refreshed and relaxed. Cellular Pillow is an Electrolux Design Lab 2013 semi-finalist entry. Designer: Qing Ji - Related posts:

| Posted: 27 Jun 2013 09:22 AM PDT Can 20-degrees make all the difference in design? When it comes to the portable water cooler, then it does. We use these urn-shaped dispensers for serving of drinks such as tea, coffee, and juice; and when the quantity runs low, we automatically tip it forward to get the very last drop. The base of the Tilt 20 urn integrates a chamfer that allows the dispenser to stand at an angle or vertically. When the dispenser is full, its centre of gravity will allow it to stand vertically with stability. As the volume of liquid decreases, the dispenser can be titled by twenty degrees to rest on the chamfered section of its base. Tilt 20 reduces wastage and makes cleaning the dispenser much easier. Tilt 20 is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winning entry. Designers: Hsieh Hung-Chung & Lin Kai-Ting - Related posts:

| Posted: 27 Jun 2013 09:16 AM PDT Blending function with comfort, the SpoolStool is an ergonomically driven response to the common day extension cord. The simple form provides an easy and aesthetically interesting way to store the built-in cord. Though you’d never know by it’s slim silhouette, underneath the seat are 3 plugs for other devices and one of the legs even has an embedded LED that can be turned on for extra light!

| Perfect Workspace: simplehuman Posted: 27 Jun 2013 07:00 AM PDT In early January, we embarked on a ambitious project to remake an entire office into an environment conducive to collaboration, brain storming, and most importantly fun. Every aspect was considered and with a tiny budget, started planning with the one item often disregarded until the last minute. I’m talking the trash bin. Do you know how hard it is to find a good trash bin? In its simplest form, a trash bin is just a bucket in all shapes and sizes but we were looking for an engineered solution and who better than simplehuman. simplehuman’s ethos is to create simple tools for efficient living. Every desk, every room, and every common area has a trash bin. For an object to occupy nearly every corner of the office, we needed a bin that could hide rubbish yet add to the overal architecture of the interior space. We looked at many bins but found they either veered too far on utilitarianism, or too deficient on utility, relying solely on marketing and big designer names. We settled on the simplehuman 10 litre profile open can. At on $29.99 a piece, this compact stainless steel can is modern, sculptural, and minimalistic. The can itself is made up of three components – the shell, a lid, and a removeable/washable plastic liner bin. The liner bin is what you wrap your disposable bags around. The lid cleverly hides everything so the shell maintains its clean look. Their appearance provides just enough contrast against the stark white walls accented by dark walnut shelves and doors. After months of use, the bins have held up well to the everyday rigors of office life. Every can still gleaming, lids neatly hiding liner bags, and not a single dent in any of them. Although most people don’t think of a trash bin as an integral part of decorating, I hope this a reminder that even the little things can add up to a more organized and efficient workspace. The less time you have to think about trash, the more you can spend on working and having fun. I want to personally thank simplehuman, and David Lai for helping us procure these bins on such short notice. Designer: simplehuman, $29.99 - Related posts:

| Posted: 27 Jun 2013 12:01 AM PDT If you’re one of those motorcycle purists who are more inclined to classic styling & time-proven mechanics, then… this is NOT the bike for you! The Revolver forces us to throw away everything we know about moto. At the heart of the design lies a revolving chamber where backup air tanks are stored in sequence to power its compressed-air engine. Like this unique motor, the rest of the bike is likely to be alien to most riders. The only thing you might recognize are the handlebars & tires- and that’s precisely its appeal!
