We know alternative fuels like hydrogen are being used but a neater idea would be to make sure all building materials come from recycled and sustainable resources. Now rich people don’t have to feel guilty (do they ever?) about wasting petrol cruising around. Designer: Xiang Yu ----------        |

The Crack Mask is a set of emergency masks you crack open, breaking the water capsule inside. Hold the soaked mask to your face and proceed with the evacuation.

| Cook The Food and They Will Come Posted: 29 Dec 2010 02:38 AM PST  Presented here are two projects by Sandra Haak that envisage future technologies like Polytronik to help develop her concepts. The first project is 101° Degree, which is a water boiler and the second project is GUADO, a cooking and tableware set consisting of a hibachi and unique bowls with flatware. Check out the finger-tongs that allow you to pickup bite-sized nibbles without getting your fingers dirty. So kitsch! GUADO is a Red Dot Concept Design winning project.

| Lines of Light on Wheels of Speed Posted: 29 Dec 2010 01:00 AM PST  Devour if you will this escape from urbanization, the XSCAPE is from a time and place unknown to us as of yet, a concept car for 2030. Daily commuting is what this lady is for, flexible and narrow for the condensed spaces of the future. Flexible materials are mixed with solids for a safe ride and trip – this car can also extend horizontally to accommodate more than one rider. The extension mechanism is integrated into the chassis and the pillar which runs along the roof all the way along until the rear. At the back, a concertina of extended lights and a cluster-like hatch that opens to provide flexible luggage space as well. Each wheel is light and highly fuel efficient, a light stripe runs along each to show the width. Sensors and cameras are installed along the wheels to be viewed from within the car. Inside you’ll find minimal interface between the occupants and the vehicle. Each mechanism is hidden under spandex-like materials allowing for max movement and flexibility while remaining simple aesthetically as possible. Controls appear and disappear just as easily. Each of the following are retractable so that the driver might enter/exit the vehicle: pedals, dashboard, and steering wheel. The model you’ll see in the first image is milled out of a high-density yellow foam on a 3 axis CNC machine. The DLO is made of a sheet of 2mm Perspex on a vacuum forming machine, and small parts were made using a rapid prototyping machine. Fantastic! Animation for the Presentation Video: Direction, audio editing, animation, rendering and video editing by Ivan Ladović. Designer: Shengjie Wang ----------     |
| Posted: 29 Dec 2010 12:38 AM PST  What many beginning designers, especially those with big dreams and aspirations, don’t realize that it’s the little things, the littlest parts of things, that matter the most. When you take a tiny piece of something and improve it immeasurably, that’s when you’ve made a magnificent difference in the world. If you’re able to work inside the system and change it from the inside out, you’ve just created a pathway. That’s what this Steam Machine has done with its handle. If you work from the outside in, bashing away at society with your brand new products and pitches, you most likely wont have much luck. But if you work on the inside, like Yuree S Lim has done here with the EZ-Steam, you’ll find your way through and upward much quicker. This is a redesign of a steam iron for Philips that take a close look at what very well might be the most crucial component – the handle. Designer: Yuree S Lim ----------     |
| Posted: 29 Dec 2010 12:03 AM PST  This project asks the question – why do we hide all of our objects? Why do we keep away our possessions in cupboards, drawers, and the like, when these objects are so beautifully crafted, so useful on the instant? This is a flashlight that deserves its own special out in the open place as its attractiveness cannot be shut away from its light! This is the Handlight Project, a flashlight sitting on a base, what the designer calls a green project just waiting to be held. Designer: Raphael Morais ----------     |
| Reading Material, Predictable Magic Posted: 28 Dec 2010 11:04 AM PST  We love the tangible side of ID, but the majority of designs will never move beyond concept because there’s a dark area in ID everyone hates to wrestle with – the business side. Predictable Magic empowers you to face the challenge, to make you a better leader and business owner. It’s full of examples of how one creates products that resonate with consumers by making emotional connections. $19 on Amazon but from Jan 4-9, US Kindle owners can download it for free. Start the new year off right people. Predictable Magic. Authors: Deepa Prahalad, Ravi Sawhney (Buy it on Amazon) ----------     |
