| Our First Show and We’ve Got Prizes! Posted: 28 Mar 2011 08:01 AM PDT Surprise! We’re now coming to you in a series of web videos hosted by yours truly and the amazing Troy Turner. What was supposed to be a live show ended up being pre-recorded because of technical difficulties. Good thing too because there were about 101 f*cks-ups along the way. How the hell does Oprah do it?!? I think it turned out pretty well. Be gentle and hit the jump! We announced exciting news about a Red Dot exclusive partnership and revealed a secret project. Oooo! In between, we discussed all things design; Karim Rashid, the recent Geneva Auto Show and the incredible Jawbone Jambox. In our bid to become the next Oprah, we even had a give-a-way and EVERYBODY GETS ONE! No, we’re totally kidding but you know we would if we could. However, we are giving away a Kor Water Bottle and Ziiiro Watch to one lucky viewer who sends in the best name for our show. We’ll announce the winner on our next show. Send your suggests to long.tran (at) yankodesign.com with the subject heading SHOW NAMES. Episode 1: Huge Thanks to Herman Miller ----------        |

| Posted: 28 Mar 2011 07:45 AM PDT Designed to be more approachable, NEUTRAL is a reassessment of the traditional power drill to make it easier for non-handy people like myself. No complex dials or switches – just an intuitive slide mechanism that automatically adjusts settings based on the desired depth of drive. The hand guard helps with screw stabilization, houses a stud finder and a laser guide to project plum lines and assist with leveling. NEUTRAL Power Drill is an iF concept design 2011 entry.

| Posted: 28 Mar 2011 07:37 AM PDT Are you clever enough for the Smart Cube? What you need to do is change the position of square elements in such a way that all lines on the 53 elements form one continuous line, on all six sides of the cube. Easier than the Rubik’s cube? I'm not so sure, but it sounds like a good challenge. As Manole puts it, a smart toy for smart people! Designer: Manole Diana ----------     |
| Posted: 28 Mar 2011 07:35 AM PDT With their guide stick in one hand and a firm grip on the handrail, the visually challenged rely on instincts while negotiating a flight of stairs. The Safety Dot is a set of braille indents on a handrail, which makes using the stairs an easier task. I love the thoughtful intent and the simple way it can be integrated. Designers: Monocomplex & Hwang Jungjoon ----------     |
| Posted: 28 Mar 2011 12:40 AM PDT Leave it to an Oregonian designer to come up with such a great bike-rack design. The Yakima Super Joe Pro and King Joe Pro by James Owen are this years top-of-the-line racks. High-clearance design met with ultra soft cushioning ensure your car is never comes in contact with your bikes. These racks are highly adaptable thanks to Yakima’s QuickTrigger Hub system- trust me, attachment easy as pie. Designer: James Owen ----------     |
| Posted: 28 Mar 2011 12:01 AM PDT A winner of the 2011 “Dreamboat” Millennium Yacht Design Award, this brave interpretation of the motor boat concept by designer Hyun-Seok Kim was inspired by all of the natural beauty and fun activities found at sea. Tofi’s unconventional shape and unique furnishings compliment it’s far-out exterior and spaceship aesthetic, stimulating the imagination on board, while features like the hide-away diving board and safety buoy system promote fun in the water.

| Posted: 28 Mar 2011 12:01 AM PDT Gone are the days that bigger is better. Streamlined packaging designs like the flat pack Spline Light are in… for good. The simple yet elegant design of this matt black pendant light helps save on shipping costs and ease up on the environment. With an interesting shape and unique shadow-cast, it don’t look half-bad either. Designer: Tom Fereday ----------     |
