| Posted: 14 May 2014 06:43 AM PDT While the Gradient Table’s silhouette might be somewhat basic, its use of materials and resulting aesthetic are anything but! The design is comprised of ten different types of wood veneer laid out from brightest to darkest, creating a unique gradient pattern. Using various types of veneer brings out the color, texture and detail in each while celebrating the natural beauty of wood. It’s perfect for bringing weight and visual focus to one side of a room while lightening the other. Designer: Eli Chissick - Related posts:               |
| Posted: 14 May 2014 06:18 AM PDT The Stimulated Kinetic Branch is a modular air purifier that is functional art as well. Love it for its modularity and sustainable focus. The installation works well both indoors and outdoors, you can connect branches together and help create a better environment. This is how it works: the branches detect vibrations from wind and harness the energy from there. The installation is capable of sifting out dust particles through the heavy-duty air filter. The touch-sensitive sensors activate in a jiffy to cleanse the environment. Stimulated Kinetic Branch is a 2014 Top 100 Electrolux Design Lab shortlisted entry, you can vote for this or any other project here. Voting closes on May 16th 2014.

| Express Yourself Through Music Posted: 14 May 2014 02:59 AM PDT Music sharing has increasingly become a way to make new friends and stay in touch but headphones on the market today are generally designed for people to listen to music in isolation. This gives room for innovative headphones like the Wearhaus Arc to disrupt the headphone landscape. What make them stand out are two key features: sharing music in sync via a Bluetooth network and expressing music through colors. It seemed an easy path to continue with the safety net of a Berkeley engineering degree, however dropouts Richie Zeng and Nelson Zhang thought it best to invest their time and energy focusing on their passion for music and developing hardware products. Their shared craze for music paved the way for designing the Wearhaus Arc, sleek wireless headphones that reinvent social music listening. The Arc is all about you. Your style, your personality, and the music you love. Primarily in white or black, you can customize the light ring of the headphones from the app, and let your true colors shine! Using the Wearhaus app (iOS or Android), you can see what people around you are listening to, join them in real time, or broadcast your own playlist. As seen in the video, this can help forge new friendships and discover shared interests! Wearhaus Arc uses Bluetooth technology to seamlessly sync multiple users' headphones, but the team wants Arc to be the best Bluetooth headphones on the market, regardless whether they want to use the syncing functionality or not. Richie says that they've been working to ensure that the headphones have top-notch sound quality, and will continue collaborating with their manufacturer over the summer to develop a durable, lightweight, and comfortable product.
As Nelson puts it, originally, headphones were just tools for channeling audio and now they have becoming more and more about good design and self-expression. With Arc, the team wanted to take that creative, personal aspect to the next level. The first batch of Wearhaus Arcs is expected to ship by this holiday season. It is available for a special backer's price of $150 that is on offer until early June, but pre-orders will remain open afterwards at the full $200 retail value. You can get yours here. What we love about the creative duo is that they have taken the initiative to Crowdfund their project on their own platform. No external host! They considered it a priority to to control the design of their site to tell their brand story in the most effective way.

| Posted: 14 May 2014 12:01 AM PDT Vinylize combines the long lost love for tangible music formats with the practicality of digital music in one player. The turntable allows collaboration between old & new formats in one library, playing both vinyl & simulated records that use RFID scanning tech to correlate with music stored on iTunes. Designed with nostalgic influence from classic wooden record players, it recreates the vinyl experience to give back a sense of ownership & physical interaction with a music library… something that’s been lost behind screens in the digital age.
