Posted: 09 Dec 2014 11:05 AM PST A part of Nespresso’s appeal is it’s super-simplified process, so why are many of the machines so complex? CUP reflects the original minimalism of the brand with straightforward aesthetics and functionality. No double or single buttons, no built-in trash bin, no space for big cups or extras…. simply take a capsule place it into the lid, turn it manually into the classic bayonet catch and a preset 25mg of water will dissolve the 5mg into your espresso. No more, no less! Just Nespresso! Designer: Gerhardt Kellermann - Related posts: |
Carbon Flyer: The Ultimate Crash Proof Video Drone Posted: 09 Dec 2014 12:26 AM PST We are pretty kicked about the Carbon Flyer, which also happens to be the world’s first all carbon fiber personal drone that is controlled by Bluetooth and featuring an onboard video camera. The design boasts of a highly durable construction surpasses every other remotely controlled plane, easily surviving the inevitable crashes. Needless to say, this baby is fun to fly and easy to control; in short its a high tech toy that is perfect for the RC enthusiast, the gadget lover or the inner child in everyone! The Carbon Flyer is all about its super tough carbon fiber airframe, it features an ultra-low drag delta-wing design, allowing for high speeds and superior control; it uses dual high power motors with differential thrust to steer, with no fragile moving parts; it is controlled via long range Bluetooth 4.0 and a smartphone app; it features hot-swappable, rechargeable lithium ion batteries, and it has an onboard camera for taking video while it is flying. In addition, the Carbon Flyer airframe is assembled using carbon nanotube enhanced epoxy, which creates bonds stronger than steel welds. It is, in fact, the world’s first mainstream product to utilize this amazing material technology. Developed at Trident Design, LLC, an award winning product design and commercialization firm based in Columbus, Ohio, The Carbon Flyer is brought to us by the same folks who designed the Coolest Cooler (the most-funded product of all time, raising over $13.2 million), the Beluga Razor (raising almost $200K), and the Quickey (the most-funded multi-tool of all time exceeding 5,538% of its goal). They work with inventors, startups, and corporations to develop and market products ranging from housewares to consumer electronics to medical devices. Serial entrepreneur and professional inventor, Chris Hawker, founded Trident with a simple philosophy: "When egos drop away, the best idea wins". To date, his team of dedicated designers, engineers, videographers, and ping pong fanatics have brought more than 80 inventive products to the market. Iconic products like the PowerSquid and the Onion Goggles have also been designed by them. Designer: Trident Design [ Buy it Here ] - Related posts: |

Posted: 09 Dec 2014 12:00 AM PST The latest in a trend of artistic cutlery, this cleverly crafted curved wood slice gives table settings an entirely new presentation. Made of stainless steel, filled with small magnets and covered in a walnut varnish, it has a mysterious quality as metal spoons, forks and knives are held firmly in place against the wood material. Elevated from the surface, it’s also a sanitary and safe way to keep cutlery in place. Designers: Marc-AndrĂ© Roberge, Pierre-Luc Lussier & Michael Roy - Related posts: |
