| Posted: 11 Apr 2011 08:40 AM PDT The Collector USB Flash Drive is one awesome concept that I'd love to see on shelves. The idea is simple. A USB Stick accommodates small capacity memory cards. Custom configure the stick or simply keep expanding, just do your techie thing and be happy! What a great way to use all those smaller cards laying around the house. Not sure how it deals with partitioning unless there are some smarts built-in to deal with hot swapping. Designer: Fang-Chun Tsai ----------        |
| Posted: 11 Apr 2011 08:36 AM PDT I’m not keen on the design because it looks like some military grade weapon but I suspect there are some audiophiles who could appreciate the Stealth | Four loudspeaker concept. It’s minimal in design, isolating each driver unit for maximum quality of sound reproduction without the need for bulk. Four drive chambers cantilever out from the steel frame as if each chamber were floating in space. White accents at the very tips of the chambers catch the light so that in a dark environment all you can see are four glowing rings. The S4 is designed to disappear in a mood lit listening room, leaving only the exquisite musical reproduction emanating from the darkness. Sitting at just shy of 1 meter tall, the sleek S4 comprises a sub-woofer, a mid/bass, mid/high and tweeter drivers nestled in the steel frame. All weight, wiring and crossovers are distributed centrally around the frame leaving the S4 balanced to perfection. The drive chambers are all isolated for resonance within the frame. Each driver is tuned and calibrated to its enclosure, meaning every chamber is performing at its absolute finest. Bi-Wiring/Bi-Amping facility aims towards the higher end of the audiophile market with a dedicated amp and source to power the S4. All of this is sitting atop a thick slab of steel, perfect for keeping the S4′s grounded. Designer: Gorden Fraser ----------     |
| Posted: 11 Apr 2011 08:29 AM PDT Ah the simple joy of stacking objects to see how high they can go before the whole thing collapses. Fort Standard, a design studio based in New York created Balancing Blocks, an homage to a timeless form of entertainment for all ages. Each $70 set is handmade. A bit pricey but I love the simplicity. Designer: Fort Standard ----------     |
| Posted: 11 Apr 2011 08:20 AM PDT The deceptively cool looking Clockus is one heavy-duty brain-drain that takes off from where the IQ Clock left us. It presents you with a rudimentary math problem every hour so if you want the time, brush up on your addition, subtraction and multiplication tables. For you math geniuses, Clockus can serve up questions in the 24hr format. Oooh double digits! Designer: Noh Ji Hun ----------     |
| Succession Furniture Collection Posted: 11 Apr 2011 12:01 AM PDT The eccentric pieces in this new upholstered furniture collection by Fredrik Färg stimulate the imagination with their animal-like form and feeling of movement. The textile and leather shelving and stools even have all the markings of a beast of burden. Individual pieces are bound in rope, heated, and then cut loose to produce a seamless pattern that is as harsh as it is civilized. According to Färg, they’ve become the family he “never knew he had.” Designer: Fredrik Färg ----------     |
| Posted: 11 Apr 2011 12:01 AM PDT Designer Ed Chew takes a green step in the right direction with the TetraBox lamp, a light object made from discarded drink packets that would have otherwise ended up in landfills already packed to the brim. The design is achieved by unfolding the packets and refolding them into hexagonal and pentagonal sections that are then pieced together to form a geodesic sphere or any other desired shape. Here, the Epcot-like ball makes an attractive overhead light and casts an impressive web of shadows and shapes on the surrounding space. Designer: Ed Chew ----------     |
| Posted: 11 Apr 2011 12:01 AM PDT Everyone’s favorite ice age creature is the focus of this sauna by AtelierForte. The last in a series of huge animalian sculptures that aim to join art and positive industrial construction, Mammuthus Belli features a 10 meter high body and support structure made of spruce as well as 6 meter long iron tusks. Water flows under the belly as well as through the trunk from a tank located inside the iron head. See the making of the mammoth on April 15th! Designer: AtelierForte ----------     |
