| Posted: 21 Jun 2011 08:59 AM PDT What if there was a way to make food intake more visual and track all of it? What if there was a way to embed data directly in food? Printable RFID tags will replace barcodes on food packaging, enabling this concept called Nutrismart. A plate reads out our food and works as an invisible diet management system. When placing a cupcake on the plate, it’s scanned by an RFID reader inside the plate. Feedback can be sent to a computer or mobile device where one can witness an infographic of sorts about their eating habits. Designer: Hannes Harms ----------        |
| Soft, Light and Wind Friendly Car Posted: 21 Jun 2011 08:54 AM PDT VENTILE takes everything we know about cars and throws it out of the window. The powertrain starts off innocently enough being a gas/electric hybrid but there’s a third system – a giant fan. Air comes rushing in through the front, spins the fan situated beneath the battery and drives the car. How is this possible? The VENTILE barely weights 350 kg thanks to its translucent, soft shell and small rubberless wheels. I love when designers go out on a limb, far-fetched or not. I’d drive it!

| Posted: 21 Jun 2011 03:09 AM PDT A show of hands those of you who got emails about carpal tunnel syndrome. Well the gory images sure put me off, but only for a while. After a couple of days it was back to the same old routine of working on the keyboard and mouse for hours on end. Till the time self-discipline doesn't kick in, I guess we need to realize concepts like the Run-chy Mouse. Every now and then, the mouse just runs away from your grip, to make sure that you take a break and give your hands some rest. You can set the timer for timed breaks, or simply keep it random. I'm off for my break now! Designer: Jung-eun Park ----------     |
| Posted: 21 Jun 2011 02:47 AM PDT Computers have made me such a lazy person that managing paperwork has become a difficult chore for me. It gets worse when the filing needs to be done chronologically. No magic wand to help me out here, but something like the Date Stapler will surely work. It's the combination of a stapler and date stamper. Nifty organizer I tell you, every office should have one! Designer: Gonglue Jiang ----------     |
| Posted: 21 Jun 2011 01:55 AM PDT Gotta love this beatnik lamp design, appropriately named Atypical. The simple triangular shade directs light downward, highlighting its three tapered legs. The cleverly positioned, triangular shape of each leg gives the illusion from any angle that a single, sharp beam of light is being cast directly from the center of the shade.

| Posted: 21 Jun 2011 12:23 AM PDT When we sit down to eat we rarely consider the actual physical & chemical processes that occur in order to make our food as tasty as it is. If you think about it, a kitchen isn’t all that different from a laboratory. With this concept in mind, the Eating Objects series of “tableware tools” encourages diners to interact with their food on a multi-sensory level. Used in combination with an animation guided table, the user is instructed step by step to create their unique dish, creating a more in depth & challenging eating experience. To avoid overstimulating the user, the aesthetics of the tools have been kept extremely minimal, using familiar materials. Copper was chosen for detail due to its ability to age beautifully, and retain marks from each human user which adds a personal element to the experience. The table was designed to act as a blank canvas for the animations, food products, and tools. Besides housing the projection system, the detail of the legs and minimal white top add to its simplistic beauty. Designer: DesignGoat ----------     |
| Posted: 21 Jun 2011 12:01 AM PDT Home Traveller is the result of an exploration into the relationship between two items rarely fused together: clothing and furniture. Inspired by handbags and storage chests, designer Anne Lorenz experimented with the form and function of both to create this unique one-off combination carryall. More of a home accessory than an everyday bag, it’s a playful and intuitive piece perfect for storing laundry, blankets, and many other household items. Designer: Anne Lorenz ----------     |
