tranSIT is a hybrid walking waypoint system for urban environments, combining seating with wayfinding and street lighting. To help encourage traveling by foot, walking times to popular nearby destinations and public transport links are provided, along with QR code integration for access to maps. LED lighting is integrated to provide extra security for those walking at night. Power is supplied via a small roof mounted battery and solar unit. This also allows for the possible integration of WiFi or street phone charging.

Battery Expansion

Posted: 20 Nov 2013 01:29 AM PST

We have seen some really creative solutions and approach towards battery design. Add to the list this TransX, which is a battery module made with recycled card and copper. The beauty of the design is that it can transform a AAA battery into a larger battery.

Since many differently sized batteries all use a nominal voltage of 1.5V, we can try our hand at one design that fits them all.

Here is how it works:

  • The battery and its casing can be used in appliances, with the copper ends conducting electricity.
  • The module series has been designed in combination with packaging that also holds a manual and a rechargeable AAA battery.
  • The module is pre-cut and can be easily removed from the packaging and folded.

Steps:

  • Choose the size you need and fold the Trans X to fix the battery.
  • Put the battery with Trans X into the battery Holder.

TransX is a 2013 red dot award: design concept winner.

Designers: Chen Yi-An & Chen Yi-Ying

For The Love Of Tea

Posted: 20 Nov 2013 01:14 AM PST

Man and his perfect cuppa tea are often inseparable. The innate art of brewing tea and with a specific blend is almost like a traditional ritual in some cultures. Keeping with this essence we have here the O’cha, a mini tea-infuser that gives you an opportunity to make their tea on the go. According to Somi, the driving factor for the design and the size was to make the infuser fit comfortably into a standard bottle. Thus making it easily adaptable and portable.

Lambos for Your Legs

Posted: 20 Nov 2013 12:01 AM PST

Upon seeing Lamborghini’s wild Veneno concept, experienced shoe designer Jeremiah Obuobi felt compelled to design a shoe that embodied the same design language. The result is this wicked-looking runner that, like the Lambo, is focused on optimum aerodynamics and stability to achieve a equally dynamic experience when the wearer tackles the road on foot rather than by car.

e-Blast From the Past

Posted: 20 Nov 2013 12:01 AM PST

This twist on the e-bike travels back in time to 1865, the year BASF was founded. This was also the time when the wooden "Dandy Horse" invented by Karl Drais was given its first pedals, and as velocipede launched the bicycle on the road to global success. As a tribute to this era of technology and invention, BASF and the DING3000 design studio have developed a velocipede with today's state-of-the-art technology – including 24 high-performance plastics, specialty foams, epoxy resin and polyurethane materials from BASF.

Designers: BASF & DING3000
