| Posted: 11 Mar 2011 06:18 AM PST It’s 2025. Cities have outgrown themselves, shifting mobility as we know it. Public transportation is more efficient than ever (ok, maybe it’s 2225), but car use is limited to long distance travel outside urban districts. Q: How do you make those short distance travels that are too long to walk? A: The Peugeot XB1. Ok, so it might just be hypothetical, but can we start getting ready, please? If for nothing else, just so we can zip around town on this cute, human size, wheeled exoskeleton reminiscent of Johnny-5? Designers: Thierry Fischer, Kevin Biolluz, Karim Bennani, Frederic La Sciellour The fully electric Peugeot XB1 was designed for premium services in a big society. It features a user-friendly interface, GPS integration, smart phone applications, and a top speed of 35 km/hr. ----------     |
| Posted: 11 Mar 2011 12:02 AM PST Love a good doily y’all. Characterized by intricate crocheted doilie fabric, it’s become a cultural staple in many households. As one friend puts it, “they’re old timey,” and grandma puts them underneath everything. LACE-ER takes the traditional craft and turns it into a functional tool for the kitchen – a strainer, a sieve, table mats and even wall decor when not in use. This modern doily is grandma approved. Designer: Magdalena Szwajcowska ----------     |
| Posted: 11 Mar 2011 12:02 AM PST There are bowls that cannot be used because of small defects. And there are people around us that need these bowls. Bring Luck was made to make these bowls usable for people who need them, with a little birdie. By sticking the product onto the cracked areas, the bowls can be used even more usefully than new ones. Designers: Huh Ka-young & Choi Jin-ah ----------     |
| Posted: 11 Mar 2011 12:02 AM PST Global warming or not, inevitably every season in my city seems like summer! It's great to see how designers are trying to evolve the air con by making it blend into the home environment, just like another piece of furniture. Here are two projects: the Eco Shelf Zenstyle & the Natural Pot. The former is a wall mounted shelf cabinet and the latter a flowerpot. Both feature green patches to nurture plants that are fed off the excess water discharged by the AC unit! Clever, real clever! Eco Shelf Designers: Seung-Hyun Yoon, Seol-hee Son & Jo Chal-youn ----------     |
| Posted: 11 Mar 2011 12:01 AM PST This collection of leather tools is purposed for sound designers in the fields of theater and cinema. The varying combinations of size, leather type, and shape create a wide range of percussion sounds from the thud to the shwud. Lightweight materials wrap up easily in a canvas folding pack, making the toolkit handy and portable. Personally, I’m a fan of the whump. Designer: Chiara Onida ----------     |
