Perfectly Warm Cup

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 10:25 AM PDT

The Inex is a curious form for a cup. It sports a handle that is rounded up like a cover. I can picture me warming my hands with a hot cuppa java, sitting in front of the fireplace…however its summers now, so the heat is kinda evaporating that vision. Maybe I should revisit this design in winters; what do you say?

IDSA 2014 International Conference, The Exchange at Austin Texas

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 07:52 AM PDT

Get ready for some good times this August; IDSA hosts its 2014 International Conference, The Exchange. This high level meeting point will be a vibrant gathering place in which design and industry professionals, design educators and students will exchange knowledge, information, ideas and stories about the many facets of product development and design.

The 2014 International Conference, The Exchange, will focus on six key exchanges:

  • Context
  • Community
  • Value
  • Culture
  • Interpersonal
  • Education

Amongst all the illustrious speakers in the lineup, we are particular stoked to know that John Dimatos, community lead for the design and technology categories at Kickstarter will be hosting a segment called Design on Kickstarter. Need we elaborate why!

Two other things that you need to lookout for: the redesigned un-conference – a base where anyone can come and hold a group discussion on a previously agreed upon topic. Ti Chang rocked it in Chicago! The other is the portfolio showing session by design students, where industry heroes come and comment and give feedback to the young guns. We loved both these segments a lot.

Gear up for the conference, which is from August 13th to16th, 2014 at Austin, Texas.

Personal Hydroponics

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 12:01 AM PDT

Inspired by larger vertical farming systems, Stem is an indoor modular appliance used for growing small plants. It enables users to grow herbs and vegetables easily and efficiently with an automated hydroponic system, automatically watering plants on a timed cycle with little maintenance. Modular sections can be added or taken away to accommodate any space or need. Not only green in theory, it’s also produced with environmentally friendly materials including Zeoform!

Simple Kid Lifesaver

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 12:01 AM PDT

Whether by accident or oversight, numbers of children die from heatstroke after being left unattended in cars. It’s an unfortunate yet completely avoidable situation, especially with help from smart-devices. This simple solution is one way of ensuring children are never forgotten. The 3-piece design detects the presence of a child with an under-seat sensor. In the event that a parent or guardian strays too far away, a signal is sent to the keychain unit where they receive both a vibrating & audible alarm reminder.

Crazy About Concrete

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 12:01 AM PDT

The functionalities of these two different objects are pretty straightforward: one is a silverware organizer and one is a bedside table. But what really sets them apart is a unique material combination of fiber-concrete and raw wood that’s just plain beautiful! For it’s own foodie-flair, the table features one molded recess for a coffee mug and one for cutlery or napkins. Underneath, there’s even a tray-box to hide breakfast-in-bed when you’re finished!
