| Posted: 17 Sep 2010 03:12 AM PDT  The Rescue Tube is meant for the fishermen folk who brave the high seas every single day. As a part of their routine they are supposed to wear life vests but many ignore this as it causes restricted movements. Rescue Tube on the other hand is a simple latch-clasp that can be hooked to the clothes as a normal buckle. It doesn’t pose as an obstruction. During an emergency situation you simply tug at the lower clasp to inflate the tube instantaneously, maneuver it around your neck and it’s ready to be used! If you ask me, I think this idea can be further refined if it has a clasp on the free-end, to secure it to your clothes. When you are in a desperate situation, I’m sure having free hands for swimming is better than restricting them to holding onto the tube. Designer: Baek Mi Young ----------        |
| Quick Dry For Clothes With Aroma And Breeze! Posted: 17 Sep 2010 02:27 AM PDT  Breeze Racks is a collapsible system of a blower, aroma dispenser, hollow bars and hollow-with-many-holes hangers; intended to dry your laundry faster, on wet rainy days. It works like this; you set up the frame and fit each hollow hanger into the hole cutout on the horizontal bar. The end of the frames fit into the blower which blows out warm air and fragrances. Once the setup is complete you simply hang your freshly washed clothes on the hanger and let the system do its work. I quite like the fact that you can completely knock-down this stand for easy storage. Where I live, we have three months of non-stop rains and I need to hang the clothes on metal stands and place them under the fan. Its three month of pure agony as far as laundry chores is concerned. Something like this Breeze Racks can be quite a boon! Oh and yes I am stubborn, I prefer hand-washed clothes to machine-washed & dried! Designer: Qin Shuai ----------     |
| Are You 100% Korean This September – Part II Posted: 17 Sep 2010 12:11 AM PDT  As promised, here is the second installment on the Korean Activities this September at 100% Design London. Just a reminder that their stand is located at L70 and you can visit them anytime between 23rd and 26th September 2010. What really fascinates me is the diverse collection they are showcasing, In Part I we saw amusing jewelry, ceramics, glass, lights and children's furniture. In this episode I bring to you clocks, bathroom fixtures, pillows and lots more cool stuff. So enjoy! Peaceful pebble lights with dainty birds that depict an everyday scene that we seldom stop to observe. This is the Moment Lamp, exquisite and delightful! The Zen Shower by Cebien Co. LTD. Zen (extreme right picture) as its name suggests is a system that aims at giving you a soothing shower experience. Everything is carefully planned and laid out. The liquid soap & shampoo dispensers have a special dedicated space, so that they are easily accessible during the shower. The entire line-up is very user-friendly and practical. Time Saving Clock by 9F If you are the tardy sort and being late for a meeting is the norm, then this Time Saving Clock is for you! Here is how it works: The watch's needle is attached to the screws, so depending on your intentions will show both the time set earlier by you, and the actual, current time. The RIM Series by Cell International RIM is a series of media poles that integrates contents with picturesque inferences to lush forests and green trees in an urban landscape. Embroidery Tile by Insnine Co Ltd. Inspired by Korean traditional embroidery styles, these tiles can be used as both internal and external finishes to walls and floors. Rich with the cultural influences of ethnic Korea, it can't get better than this! Touch & Touch Light by Taewon Lighting Co Ltd. Touch & Touch Light uses superior technology and traditional influences in its style. It is the reinterpretation of the Chosun era's modern and Asian style. It hosts a 'touch center' to control and change the intensity of light, depending if you are reading or dining or working. iPole 7 by Tangerine & Partners Take Korean sensibilities and marry it with European perfectionism and you will get Tangerine & Partners! A design house that comes from the heart of Europe to Seoul, to create the finest in seating options, including the iPole 7! The design of iPole7 takes into account sedentary modern lifestyle and addresses the issue with its dynamic design. Here is what makes this special: "The usual backrest was replaced with a “chest-rest” against which you can lean your upper body while the armrests help distribute the pressure you feel on your chest. These and the seat that ergonomically follows the curve of your back are all professionally designed to preserve your spinal health." The KKOT Cushion by Philmuk Co Ltd. Using the elegant Korean brush-hand-writing as its design-resource, Philmuk captures the essence of calligraphy with its KKOT Cushions in the Zhong Kun Kim's calligraphy series. Totally Amazing! This wraps up our Korea Design feature for the upcoming 100% Design Festival London. YD hope's to bump into you there! ----------     |
| Posted: 17 Sep 2010 12:10 AM PDT  Recalling a time in his childhood when he’d connect two or more pens together, drawing with them, observing the wacky results, Jackob Mazor now presents a pen custom made for another similar experiment. This is the “Me Too” pen, made during an observation course at Mazor’s college. It presents in a very real way the notion that for every controlled mark you make in this world, there’s at least one other mark you make that cannot be controlled. Observe yourself from any other perspective and your whole world is changed. Scary to the max! I often think about this, too, Mazor. The idea that no matter how hard we try, we cannot make another person make the same mark as we did. One can never stand in the same river twice. One DOES have to clean that brush leg of this pen out though, which is why it’s detachable for easy washing. The main marking tool is a simple ball-point pen. Designer: Jackob Mazor ----------     |
| Posted: 17 Sep 2010 12:06 AM PDT  Modern medicine is amazing. You can get basically anything in your body fixed, adjusted, twisted, broken, or completely restructured. But what about healing? That sucks. What if you could heal on air? Let’s take a look at this wonderful machine designer Sung Soo Chae of DESIGNNOON has made. It’s an air compression therapy system for hospitals, inflating the core of the the casts the system works with. Swelling and contracting for lovely massage. Designed to promote circulation in the body and relax tense muscles. It’s effective in slowing signs of aging by working on capillary vessels, promoting good blood circulation. There’s a leg device, arm device, and a lovely hand device! Get those digits wiggling again! Designer: Soo Chae of DESIGNNOON ----------     |

There are infinite iterations of the tiny communicator, the cellular, the mobile, and there are infinite ways to illustrate them. The folks at FORMBOTEN have here a lovely collapsable phone they like to call “Scope.” It can be closed for simple navigation or open for dialing numbers or keying in letters. Pop it open with a tap of the finger, or lock it in place for pocket riding. And look, they’ve got their FORMBOTEN logo sitting in the screen there. That’s a lot of fun. I think every industrial designer should consider having a simple mark like that to fake brand their products for presentation. Makes it so much more complete looking, yes?
