| Cooking Outdoors A Little More Bearable Posted: 23 Aug 2010 08:20 AM PDT  I really dislike camping. The need to commune with nature isn’t enough of a reason to rough it. I can enjoy the view just the same from a cabin thank you very much. If you nag me about it, I’ll say it’s the cooking. Camp food sucks but the Kuzmit social cooker might pry me away long enough from my 400 thread count sheets to engage in a little R&R. It’s modern, easy to clean, and looks quite fun to use. See the guy leaning back eating while the woman cooks? Yea, I’m that guy. Designer: Boaz Lazar ----------        |

It’s a narrative that’s common place so no instructions are required. People universally get it and the design does well to point out how silly we all are. I’m not afraid. I’ll walk under it. I’ll bet you. Designer: Alice Gallarate ----------     |
| Posted: 23 Aug 2010 05:12 AM PDT  I quite agree with designer Won Seok Choi when he says that every appearance has its meaning. For example a regular plug gives the vibe that it's easy to push it into the socket and when we compare that to the Plug In & Out, which is an intuitive design, we get this feel that it's an easy plug to pull out. In a very subtle way, his design makes us conscious of unplugging the cords, coz it saves us from wasting electricity. The story board and image explanation may confuse some of you articulate English speaking folks, so let me explain the design to you. The plug has a rotating snap at its back and this also provides an easy grip for pulling out the cord. A soft light glows when the plug is in the “on” position, and goes off when you twist and pull out the cord. Basically it may sound complex in writing, but if we are to adopt such plugs or even modify the design a bit to overcome the flaws, I don't see why it won't go on to be a commercial success.

| Freshly Squeezed And Straight Into The Glass Posted: 23 Aug 2010 03:52 AM PDT  The powers of observation can bring about revolutionary changes in the world of design. Although I wouldn't classify the Steep Juicer as one such change, but it's simple, logical design that stems from observing our surroundings is super. Jackob Mazor was particularly inspired by the hand-juicers that roadside stalls use. If you've noticed, their body has a spout which dispenses the juice directly into a glass. Good Observation! Electric juicers normally have the juice collection container below the strainer. And after sufficient juice has been collected, we transfer the contents into the glass. With the Steep Juicer, the container is missing, the juice flows directly into the glass thanks to an angle in its body-design. I only hope the body somehow detaches from the motor base (not specified by the designer), otherwise cleaning this juicer can be a problem, considering the electrical parts.

What’s inside this post are two beds, both of them designed by Corey Drew of Pet Lounge Studios. One is called the Bambu Hammock, the other is called the Bambu Lounger. Both are made with solid bamboo and both are made for your soon-to-be completely comfortable sleeping pet animal. The Bambu Lounger is inspired by Scandinavian design, having a handmade bamboo base and a memory-foam filled mattress. Even I don’t have one of those. This kitty is an important kitty. Frame: 26″L x 12″W x 9″H The Bambu Hammock is for your tropical cutie. The cushion is stretched and connected on four corners by stainless steel carabineers and anchors usually used in the boating industry. Removable cushion for easy cleaning of all kinds of tiny puppy hairs. Frame: 34″L x 25″W x 8″H Designer: Corey Drew of Pet Lounge Studios ----------     |
| Posted: 23 Aug 2010 12:06 AM PDT  So you’ve got a voice recorder in your phone you say? So you’ve got one in your MP3 player, yes? Well they’re the worst! When it comes time to integrate, one of the greatest parts of industrial design quite often I must say, there are occasionally concessions that must be made. Designer Dror Goldblum knows this, and in order to save the ever-important voice recorder device from crap-level quality forever, he created this bone! Goldblum’s voice recorder does the two things every standalone voice recorder should do – record and play sound. It also does the relatively newly important bit, connecting to a computer through USB to transfer the recorded sound files it picked up. It’s got an earphone jack, an optical volume interface, and does a fabulous little flick of the wrist activation sort of deal, exposing and activating the mic as you do so. Once it’s on, it can stand alone on the table in a sassy little arch while you gaze into the eyes of your professor Dr. Jones. Designer: Dror Goldblum ----------     |
| Posted: 23 Aug 2010 12:03 AM PDT  It is as if an Italian architect from many years ago, I think you know the one, came into a furniture designer’s studio and said, “You! Take that lamp off it’s usual axis!” And thus the “Roly-Poly” lamp was born. Actually it was designer Jung Jae Yup that conceived of and executed this lovely bit of ball and stick with light on top. It’s got the bounce-back-up feature installed in addition to its lean, so you can box with it if you’ve got very small fists. Made of stainless steel. The alternate title for this project is: “Zen.” I don’t believe I’ve ever met a Buddhist off his or her axis, have you? Designer: Jung Jae Yup ----------     |
