| Posted: 30 Jun 2011 08:56 AM PDT Love this simple, geometric Mono Chair from niafdesign. This is world’s apart from the dining chairs I grew up with. You know the type; big cushions, tall backs – your parent’s parents kind of chair. The Mono Chair is much more my style. Eating is probably when I’m most happiest and the sheer exuberance in this design expresses that happiness well. Designer: Efecan Gürbüz ----------        |
| YD is Your Ticket to the red dot Awards! Posted: 30 Jun 2011 07:07 AM PDT It’s that time of year again! That’s right, the 2011 red dot design awards gala is just around the corner! Awww, can’t make it? We’ll miss you… but don’t worry! As a reddot media partner, Yanko Design will be covering the event, the who’s who, and all the happenings LIVE just for YOU! Stay tuned in to the YD homepage, Facebook, and Twitter on July 4th as we provide recaps of everything from the live entertainment to the tear-jerking acceptance speeches directly from the Aalto Theater in Essen, Germany. Immediately after the ceremony we’ll be giving you a sneak-peek into the brilliant Designers’ Night at the red dot Museum: a glittering all-night party with the night’s laureates and representatives of design, media, politics, and economy from around the world! We (yes you) will be celebrating between top class design and industrial culture as we feed up-to-the-minute photos, video, interviews, Facebook updates, and Tweets. We also heard there’s an open bar, so don’t miss out! red dot gala 2011 is on July 4; 8:30 pm CET ----------     |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2011 06:32 AM PDT Tenderizing meat is quite an important step in cooking, however it requires quite a bit of muscle to do it right. The Tender delivers double the punch with every bash, making your job easier. The serrated roller has glass balls inside the column to energize the blow. Tackle your meat in smart way!

| Posted: 30 Jun 2011 05:25 AM PDT There was an era in Indian television (somewhere in the 80's) that for fillers between two programs they used to play the Jal Tarang. Fascinating ceramic bowls filled with water that produces the most profound music! A look at the Drinking The Music concept and I'm reminded of that era. Although oriental teacups inspire this concept, I can see the connection between water and music. Can you? Designer: Kukil Han ----------     |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2011 12:03 AM PDT A combination of new and reclaimed materials, the Coban Buffet is a unique take on the classic buffet with simplistic, natural shapes and an industrial, Americana feel. The custom piece is composed of laminated oak hardwood with bent corners, sliding glass doors, and custom fabricated metal drawer knobs. In contrast, the base is constructed completely of farm-found weathered timber and rusted plow heads, giving this piece just the right amount of masculinity. Love the craftsmanship.

| Posted: 30 Jun 2011 12:01 AM PDT With global concern over energy production and raw material shortages increasing, this project explores desert manufacturing as an alternative way to produce items. Set in the Saharan desert, sunlight and sand are used as raw energy and material to produce glass objects using a 3D printing process that combines natural energy and material with high-tech production technology. Silicia sand, when heated to melting point and allowed to cool, solidifies as glass. This process of converting a powdery substance via a heating process into a solid form is known as sintering and has in recent years become a central process in design prototyping known as 3D printing or SLS (selective laser sintering). These 3D printers use laser technology to create very precise 3D objects from a variety of powdered plastics, resins and metals – the objects being the exact physical counterparts of the computer-drawn 3D designs inputted by the designer. By using the sun's rays instead of a laser and sand instead of resins, the basis was discovered for a new solar-powered machine and production process for making glass objects that taps into the abundant supplies of sun and sand to be found in the deserts of the world. The Solar-Sinter machine is based on the mechanical principles of a 3D printer. A large Fresnel lens (1.4 x 1.0 metre) is positioned so that it faces the sun at all times via an electronic sun-tracking device, which moves the lens in vertical and horizontal direction and rotates the entire machine about its base throughout the day. The lens is positioned with its focal point directed at the center of the machine and at the height of the top of the sand box where the objects will be built up layer by layer. Stepper motors drive two aluminium frames that move the sand box in the X and Y axes. Within the box is a platform that can move the vat of sand along the vertical Z axis, lowering the box a set amount at the end of each layer cycle to allow fresh sand to be loaded and levelled at the focal point. Two photovoltaic panels provide electricity to charge a battery, which in turn drives the motors and electronics of the machine. The photovoltaic panels also act as a counterweight for the lens aided by additional weights made from bottles filled with sand. The machine is run off an electronic board and can be controlled using a keypad and an LCD screen. Computer drawn models of the objects to be produced are inputted into the machine via an SD card. These files carry the code that directs the machine to move the sand box along the X, Y coordinates at a carefully calibrated speed, whilst the lens focuses a beam of light that produces temperatures between 1400°C and 1600°C, more than enough to melt the sand. Over a number of hours, layer by layer, an object is built within the confines of the sand box, only its uppermost layer visible at any one time. When the print is completed the object is allowed to cool before being dug out of the sand box. The objects have rough sandy reverse side whilst the top surface is hard glass. The exact colour of the resulting glass will depend on the composition of the sand, different deserts producing different results. By mixing sands, combinatory colours and material qualities may be achieved. Designer: Markus Kayser ----------     |
| Cute and Functional Combo Tool Posted: 30 Jun 2011 12:01 AM PDT If you have ever hit your thumb trying to hammer a nail, you know the unforgettable, mind-numbing pain that follows. This simple Coral Tools combination houses steel flat-head & Phillips screwdrivers within its hard plastic body & also serves as a tripodal stand that holds nails firmly in the center hole to help get them started, ensuring a straight hit while keeping fingers safe. The 3rd arm also holds a corkscrew so you can enjoy some well-deserved wine after all your hard work.
