| Posted: 28 Jun 2011 08:58 AM PDT Check out this gorgeous cutlery set modeled entirely in Solidworks. By far, this is the most dangerous cutlery concept I’ve seen and with good reason too. The designer was inspired by the Japanese katana. I can’t tell if they’re weighted properly but I could definitely see them scaled up to be used for BBQ cookouts. Who’s with me?

| Posted: 28 Jun 2011 02:36 AM PDT Otter is a personal disaster relief backpack that can be used in both wet (floods) and dry (earthquakes) emergencies. The pack fits in supplies and consists of two quick-sealing storages and a deployable life vest. The highlight here is that you can safely seal in some valuables like documents, jewelry or cash. It may not be in your best interest to actually delay evacuation in order to fill in some valuables, but if things are on the way out, it won't hurt to stash them in the pack. In the aftermath, your personal belongings can go a long way in keeping the morale up! Benson explains, "The entire product is designed as a floatation device and helps position the victims like a backward swimming sea otter, while keeping their heads out of the water in case of a flood. Otter also allows clustering of victims together to prevent them from drifting away, helping rescuers to spot them easily." Designer: Benson Lee ----------     |
| Posted: 28 Jun 2011 02:05 AM PDT Beer buddies of mine never use bottle openers; they always use their teeth. I guess it is more of a macho thing to do…. but chipped teeth don't suit my style. I think Easy Open can be the saving grace. It's designed on the lines of a can ring; a quick clip maneuver and the bottle cap pops open. If this thing works then I guess even soda bottles should try it. Designer: Gonglue Jiang ----------     |

| From Designer’s Excess to DIY Shade Posted: 28 Jun 2011 12:01 AM PDT Designers are constantly creating or making improvements on designs in order to help reduce others’ eco-footprints, but what happens when a designer studies their own usage and excess? The Funoos lamp by designer Roohollah Merrikhpour is one result of a designer looking inward. The designer stripped 6 plastic covers and slide binders from research booklets full of old projects, and then applied the pieces to self-locking straps to create an easy to make, mix-n-match, DIY lamp shade. Just be sure to use energy saving “cold” lights so the thermoplastic material doesn’t melt on you! Designer: Roohollah Merrikhpour ----------     |
| Posted: 28 Jun 2011 12:01 AM PDT The Saddle concept vehicle merges futuristic styling, modern power technology, & equestrian influence into a go-anywhere electric three wheeler designed to tackle the roughest terrain. Inspired by the mobility & connection to nature offered by horse riding, the drivers seating position is much like being on horseback. The trike’s 3 independently controlled swivel wheels are piloted by use of a hemispherical gyroscopic steering mechanism consisting of 3 adjustable discs controlled by the user’s fingers. Saddle up! The throttle system, modeled after horse reins, consists of three controls- two external hand throttles to control the front wheels, & a middle throttle to control the rear wheel. Using one hand to steer & the other to control acceleration, the unique navigation system allows many different maneuvers, from a complete circle around the rear wheel to lateral movements.
