| Posted: 17 Jul 2008 09:41 AM CDT Straight out of Poland, Damian Kozlik has designed an interesting if not confusing timepiece dubbed “X-Watch”. His attempt at a universal time piece able to be used by sighted and the blind is a step in the right direction. Not sure if X marks the right spot on this one but his rubber strap housing carries an array of LEDs behind graduated glass with extruded braille numbers that chris-cross to highlight and center the correct time. Seems like a lot of acrobatics just to tell time, but maybe life is truly in the journey and not the destination… even when counting the hours. If you ask for more details, our heads may explode. This was a hard one to figure out…let it go. Designer: Damian Kozlik        |
| Posted: 16 Jul 2008 04:30 PM CDT Fine tableware is a victim to the rhythms imposed by modern society and globalization. Everyone is in a hurry. Time is money and food storage/portability is more important than actually enjoying what you eat slowly. Popup Délices, a concept by Marina Lecade is a beautiful lunch box of sorts that not only look great but pops open to present your food like a pop-up book. Each case can be intricately decorated to meet your tastes and customized for your eating preferences; chopsticks or forks - not a problem. Bon Appetit! Designer: Marina Lecade        |
| Immortality Thru Japanese Robots Posted: 16 Jul 2008 04:22 PM CDT Japan wants to make robots to cover every segment of the market. Oboe is one designed for the elderly - sorta. In a creepy cybernetic way, Oboe contains all the knowledge, or will contain, everything your loved ones know before they pass. This way, they’re immortal since all of their experiences can be passed onto future generations. Fast forward 1000 years from now and it won’t be surprising to find Earth populated with nothing but robots - conflicted because they remember being human. Designer: Arnaud Deloustal        |
| Posted: 16 Jul 2008 01:13 PM CDT Reinventing the wheel has never looked so uh… awkward? I will wait to pass judgement on the comfort aspects of this concept and whether or not my abdomen is ready for the onslaught of vibrations that are sure to come. I also don’t see Pamela Anderson or any other well endowed ladies hopping on this thing, but this design called “WheelU” by Tomer Zer Kavod is sure to get a lot of attention from the more Mountain Dew drinking types out there. Designed to be used over smooth pavement, the front wheel acts as braking aid and the rear wheel assists in the turning that is achieved via weight shifting. Designer: Tomer Zer Kavod        |
