The obvious reasons…old habit of yanking a plug die hard, so give this one a gentle tug…right till you hear a click…satisfy your sorry cravings and save some wasted standby electricity. From a design point of view – it's clever because it works around a natural human behavior and doesn't try to be preachy! Designer: Choi Hyong-Suk ----------        |
| Posted: 14 Sep 2010 03:09 AM PDT  The caregiver for an invalid or a patient is one mighty soul! He or she needs to be physically and mentally strong to offer impeccable services to their ward. One of the most physically draining jobs is to carry and transfer the patient from the bed to the toilet or even to a chair. The IX Transfer System is a wheelchair intended for such short distance transfers. It's more to be used in communal spaces such as a hospital and works both automatic and manual. Indeed, a very different orientation for a wheelchair! Designers: Liren Tan, Tan Jun Yuan & Lim Yi Xiang ----------     |

This is “The Balance,” and it stands on one leg OR can be used as a chair. Designer Pascal Anson has a trick to play on all of us and its called PERFECT CUTS. Three very accurate, precise cuts to be exact, and a very deep message one doesn’t often see in industrial design that’s often very far away from so-called “useless” artistic expression. You’ve got to watch the video below to get the whole idea behind this project AND to see how it functions. You can understand when I write: it stands on one leg, or two legs, as opposed to four. But until you see Anson set the chair up yourself, you wont understand the magic. And on top of that, Anson comes across as a really deep dude, which is pretty awesome, and not always something you can learn. Lucky dog. Designer: Pascal Anson ----------     |
| Sports Panel for Interaction Upgrade Posted: 14 Sep 2010 12:03 AM PDT  Behold the power of Zotefoam! It’s a high quality foam capable of withstanding the punishment that only a sports fan can distribute. That’s why designer Ross Hubbard used it to create the “Football Fan Display,” a simple, powerful tool to display a single letter or number, meant to be used in combination with others, made to be rented before a sports game and returned right afterward. Activate it at the back, punch in the number or letter you’d like, tell your pals what letters or numbers they should put on theirs, and spell “TECHNOLOGY.” Because the best thing to spell at a sporting event is TECHNOLOGY. The Zotefoam exterior is made using a CNC milling machine, character display graphic is screenprint applied to the back, plastic parts vacuum formed, front side sand blast finished, back side laser cut to produce a more accurate finish. Switch on the big words and numbers! Designer: Ross Hubbard ----------     |
| Posted: 14 Sep 2010 12:01 AM PDT  That’s what these helicopters certainly are. Swiss! That means they’re going to be white, red, and black, and no other color, ever! Very pretty, very fantastically sleek. The helicopters in this post are both unmanned and are both designed by Swiss UAV – aka Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Made in Switzerland. The KOAX X-240 & The unmanned helicopter NEO S-300 will blow your sox off in a whiff of white airflow, right in your face. Can you imagine having one of these to go out and get your mail, take the dog for a walk, pick the kids up from school? Maybe not for those things so much, but for the enjoyment of rocking the sky hard, in an extremely finely designed fashion. The KOAX X-240 has a koaxial rotor system allowing the vehicle to unleash full helicopter capabilities with a minimal physical footprint. Made with a fuselage designed for easy handling with a size small enough to fit in most larger automotive trunks. Carbon composite construction and multiple openings for easy maintenance and exchange of its modular mechanical and electrical components.
The unmanned helicopter NEO S-300’s body is based on that of a dolphin giving it a streamlined fusiform body. The nose has a payload area capable of carrying any of various electronics like camera, laser, or radar systems. Like the KOAX, the NEO has several removable lids offering easy access to the modular guts. Outer shell made of carbon composite for durability.
Helicopter fun for everyone!
