| First & Last Impressions from a Clothespin Posted: 05 Apr 2011 08:12 AM PDT When Keith Magruder decided he was ready for branch out and interview for a position at the GAP Inc. headquarters, he needed a way to make his candidacy stand out. He tinkered with several ideas and ultimately settled with a clothespin. The end result is humorous, functional and very memorable. His “calling card” thumb drive containing his portfolio is a testament to what we, as designers must do to prove ourselves. Be creative and bold like Keith. Question is, did he get the job?

| Posted: 05 Apr 2011 08:06 AM PDT Many watch innovations come from the digital neophyte camp. The possibilities are limitless but what about the analog peeps? The Ikku is a watch project aimed squarely at innovating how time is read using traditional movements. The face is divided into half spheres. The left half signifies hours while the right tells minutes. Each of the half spheres are demarcated into 12 points with its own needle. To read time, just look at the hours on the left, then minutes on the right. Beautiful design and it’s certainly different. Should be in stores soon. Designer: LÖYTÖ ESINEIDEN ----------     |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2011 07:59 AM PDT I am totally captivated by the Luna Faucet! It is such a super sexy curve that has the audacity to compete with the crescent edge of the moon! And guess what, it succeeds in its efforts and is quite a design inspiration. Available in polished chrome and brushed Steelnox satin nickel finishes, I'll be picking up the faucet and shower combo when I remodel my bathroom. Designer: Graff ----------     |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2011 07:59 AM PDT Cute as a button, the adorable iCushion is the perfect seat for your iPhone. It gives you a great viewing angle while watching videos and keeps your earphone cable and USB charging cord neatly organized. It’s made from silicone and features a suction cup to that iPhone from slipping. Totally Want! Designer: Fadtronics ----------     |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2011 12:01 AM PDT This modular shelving unit by Sam Holmes focuses on the use of a simplified metal connector to combine equally sized planks together to form it’s honeycomb compartments. The finished product is a geometrically efficient structure that uses the least amount of material possible to create a lattice of hexagonal cells that can be modified for the perfect fit within a space. Mmm, I’m suddenly hungry for honeycomb cereal. Designer: Sam Holmes ----------     |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2011 12:01 AM PDT Unlike traditional door handles, the UltraLatch doesn’t twist or turn. Instead, this functional hardware simply pushes or pulls to open an interior door, making it possible for small children, physically challenged adults, or anyone who’s arms are full to enter and exit safely with a mere 1/2 inch push or pull. Inspired by the auto gear shifter, the Ultralatch was designed to conform to the shape of the human hand and is not only ergonomic, but retrofits to most existing cutouts on standard doors.

| Posted: 05 Apr 2011 12:01 AM PDT This reinterpretation of the Lebanese water carafe is the eye-catching work of designer Vrouyr Joubanian. Beeq’s layers are composed of 6mm thick concentric DuPont Corian that appear seamless, making the joints in between them completely invisible. The smooth and transparent traditional form of the carafe has been transformed into a jarring, opaque, and fragmented sculpture with Lego-like style. Designer: Vrouyr Joubanian ----------     |
