If it's a hotel or an unfamiliar mall, following the leads can be difficult and even confusing at times. The LED Escape Light is a portable LED electric torch meant to tackle this issue of unfamiliarity. It comes with a built-in projector that projects a map to guide you out accurately. I like the handy stand that it is housed in, with an easy grab-and-run vibe. The LED Escape Light won a Liteon Award as well.

This time Mac seems to have mellowed in his designing sensibilities and not gone outlandishly futuristic. What's more, he simply concentrates on beautifying the form; note the rounded back and the slight elevation when laid flat on a table. Apparently Nagisa means beach in Japanese, and this iteration is at its tranquil best. Designer: Mac Funamizu

The desk, called Le Orchidee, is highly influenced by a desk at Musee d' Orsay in Paris – a desk by the same name. Many cues were taken from the designer of the original desk (Marorelle,) not the least of which was using groundbreaking techniques utilizing design research and experimentation. One of the results is the fabulous seamless tambour roll top – appearing to be one solid piece of wood this top is actually veneered canvas layered upon strips of wood. Fish informs us that the technique used to attain the effect of the desk top had never before been used on a desk. That’s hot. You’ll see in the gallery below the lovely drawers and sassy angles that make up this fantastic looking desk. Put all your golden paper clips in it.

| Posted: 27 Sep 2010 12:05 AM PDT  The Future Living house is a testament to the will of design. It took twenty six designers (a feat in itself) to create it. Every technologic leap was analyzed to make sure anything proposed was possible by 2050. It’s a paradigm shift in home resource creation and location. Water uses gravity to generate pressure. Energy is harvested from solar and wind apparatuses. Air, water and waste are cleaned using a living bio wall and everything is recycled when possible.

That’s where it gets really good in art, especially good in design. This project goes by the name “Reputation Check” and it comes in two parts: Acoustic and Graphic. Both are inspired by what designer Hayeon Yoo calls the side-effects of internet communication: anonymous, malicious comments tied with people’s obsession with checking their online reputation. These two instruments explore “alternative sensory experience design,” creating a new level of interaction between the user and these otherwise “informal but influential” or what I’d say are influential yet untouchable pieces of data and information. The Acoustic Instrument speaks comments left for you on the internet. Volume of traffic directly affects the speed at which the comments are read. If you’re interested in the comment, the colored element of the instrument can be slid in or out to adjust the speed to hear the content at an understandable rate. The Graphic Instrument displays comments from the internet in text form. The first step shows the most common words. Number of pixels represent amount of traffic on checked websites. Sliding the colored element adjusts the size of the letters, allowing you to read phrases otherwise rendered illegible. Designer: Hayeon Yoo ----------     |
| Posted: 27 Sep 2010 12:03 AM PDT  It’s a fabulous link between plastic and wood. Yes, plastic and wood, the most amazing two materials in the world! But look – in this case the plastic is flexible and the wood is rigid. The plastic embraces the light to protect you from it and to diffuse the warm color. The wood… it’s natural. The lamp is sold unassembled to save space during transport and so that at the end of the life of the lamp, each piece can be separated and recycled in the most pure way. No glue or nails needed. This is a fantastic trend, things coming to you in pieces. I’m sure you’re completely aware that this is one of the essential ideas behind the IKEA chain. It makes things so much simpler for the store and so much cheaper for the consumer, the consumer whose completely capable of putting their furniture, lamps, and silverware containers and accessories together themselves. Everyone loves DIY! And now this lamp! What a lovely little dish! Designer: Damien Urvoy ----------     |
