| Posted: 08 Mar 2011 07:28 AM PST What if Sony made cars, Apple made dishwashers and Google made furniture? This poses a unique opportunity for a designer to take a company’s brand identity and apply it to a market they don’t currently serve. Designer Edouard Urcadez took the Fiskars brand aesthetic (known for shears and garden tools) and translated it into a HDD headphone amplifier called the “88.” It’s minimal but with just enough exaggeration to easily be identified as a Fiskars product. The 88 stores music on its HDD but also connects up to four speakers if headphones aren’t your thing. I like these little creative exercises and I think he did a great job. I’m expecting more rubber though. Fiskars is big on ergonomics and everything the hand touches is usually coated in rubber. Designer: Edouard Urcadez ----------        |
| Keeping the Barista Art Intact Posted: 08 Mar 2011 07:13 AM PST Don't you love the artwork a barista creates in your coffee? I adore it and try to keep the foam intact until the last drop. Unfortunately mixing in the sugar always ruins it, but if I have something like the “Mix”, I could savor my drink and enjoy the art. It’s a ceramic stirrer that funnels the sugar to the bottom without disturbing the delicate foam. It may seem frivolous to some, but I look at it from a coffee-lover's perspective; anything to make my cuppa perfect! Designer: Luis Carlos Hernani Junior ----------     |
| Posted: 08 Mar 2011 07:06 AM PST The Lid with Wings is pot with a lid designed to remain stable even when placed slightly ajar. The product addresses cooks who prefer displacing cookware lids for ventilating and emptying their pots. I like the idea and I volunteer to sell this stuff on the home shopping network. Seriously, this would sell like crazy on QVC. It’s actually very simple and straightforward. The outside and inside lugs are located on the lid’s rim. Support surfaces of all the lugs and of the lid’s rim are on the same plane. A flange on the lid’s rim is specially configured to keep the lid horizontal when set ajar and also secures the lid. Need a demo? Check it. Designer: Vitaliy Gnatenko ----------     |
| Posted: 08 Mar 2011 06:55 AM PST The Repair-Ware Series are a group of household appliances designed for easy maintenance and urges you to be self-reliant. For example, the Steam Iron is assembled in simple layers and is held together by two screws. These screws are a prominent feature on the surface of the iron serving as a semiotic of repair.

| Posted: 08 Mar 2011 12:02 AM PST Illumine is an emergency lighting system built into an electrical outlet cover. It’s low-profile design is more effective and less aesthetically distracting than existing ceiling mounted lights. As smoke billows upward in a fire, overhead lighting is rendered useless while Illumine lighting casts unobstructed lighting to the floor, guiding people to safety. Long lasting rechargeable lithium ion batteries charge when not in use and power illumine during an electrical outage. Designer: Wesley York Illumine also features a manual control, perfect for residential applications. ----------     |
| Posted: 08 Mar 2011 12:01 AM PST Light Forest by OntwerpDuo is a ceiling light system that has endless possibilities. The design consists of numerous connecting parts that are fully customizable. Light Forest animates the space with it’s vine-like metal casing that looks like it’s overtaking the ceiling and walls. Users can get picky choosing which areas to illuminate- a cool alternative to track lighting. Designers: Tineke Beunders & Nathan Wierink ----------     |
| Posted: 08 Mar 2011 12:01 AM PST Packing food for my pup, Nugget, is sometimes the last thing on my mind when we’re on the run. I inevitably buy more food than I need and have always wished there was a quick portable solution for packing dry food. Alas! Top Paw dog food packaging makes dog food to-go a much easier experience. Top Paw combines a handled, travel-size dog food container with a convenient built-in folding bowl to make feeding-time possible wherever you are. Designer: Benjamin Yi ----------     |
