| Posted: 06 Jul 2011 08:49 AM PDT Check out Matt Nicholson’s pinhole 35mm Lie-ca M3 project entitled ‘making the desirable accessible through an A4 printer’. It’s just one of several functional products that represent status symbol objects everyone wants. Well now you can have one because the template will be available for download from Lie-ca this week. We’ll keep you posted! Designer: Matt Nicholson, @mattmakesstuff ----------        |
| Electric Bicycle with Hydro-formed Frame Posted: 06 Jul 2011 08:44 AM PDT This thesis project by Vojtech Sojka for Superior Bikes looks to change the game without straying too far from the norm. It has a hydro-formed aluminum frame with the motor positioned in the bottom bracket, for a clean look and better weight distribution than a motor in the rear hub. The battery is also centrally located in the seat tube, and a carbon belt drive with a Shimano Alfine hub completes the drivetrain. The designer explains:
Hopefully, Superior will move forward with the concept, and we will see continued development of Sojka's design in the near future. Designer: Vojtech Sojka for Superior Bikes ----------     |
| Posted: 06 Jul 2011 02:46 AM PDT Search for Alarm Clock on Yanko Design and you can view from the obvious to the most bizarre ones, all under one roof. For a change we have one here that is functional: functions as an alarm clock and functions as a socket! Alternate Alarm Clock, I reckon this one is for those who can't open an eyelid without first gulping down tea/coffee. Wakeup and hit the switch for the percolator in one go!

| Posted: 06 Jul 2011 01:00 AM PDT Quarter Block Battery divides the battery cell into four equally powerful pieces. Each piece screws onto the next, making them kinda modular. The purpose is to discard the empty quarter and replace it with a juiced-up one. In the long run, the cycle of replacing and using up all four quarters may prove to lengthen the original life of the battery. But I'm not so convinced about it. Nevertheless I think if we get our physics and chemistry right, we may have a winner in our hands. Designer: Sun-you Lee ----------     |
| Posted: 06 Jul 2011 12:00 AM PDT The Steam Mug is a cute little humidifier that uses up the leftover water from your drinking mug, to humidify the room. Its efficient enough to work with the small quantities left in and is cool enough to hang out with your desk-stuff. As far as looks and styling go, it's very similar to the The Cup. And I think that's what makes it awesome! Designer: Young-Suk Kim ----------     |
| Our Picks from the 2011 red dot awards! Posted: 05 Jul 2011 10:17 PM PDT Nearly 4500 entries were submitted for the 2011 red dot judges to review! After a meticulous, hands-on study of each submitted product they finally narrowed it down to 793 winners of the “red dot” award, 154 “honourable mention” award winners, as well as 59 “best of the best” awards reserved for well… the best of the best! We’re impressed that the judges tackled 4500 original entries when we could barely keep our hands off all 900+ winning designs! We did, however, manage to narrow it down to 10 that we just couldn’t keep our eyes off of… On July 4th, after cheering on this year’s laureates at the red dot gala we got a first hand look at the winning products as we partied late into the night at the Designers’ Night after party where they are now on display until July 31st. — As you’ll notice, this isn’t the first time some of these designs have been featured on YD! Hey red dot, apparently great minds really do think alike… Wogg 50 by Jorg Boner Productdesign – 2011 red dot award winner The construction of the Wogg 50 is simple and clear. The seat curves down on four sides to accommodate the four legs and the backrest on both sides. The aesthetics of the chair are influenced by the use of molded plywood. Hohrizontal by finite elemente – 2011 red dot best of the best winner What looks like an elegant wall shelf at first glance turns out to be a sound system with an integrated docking station. A high-uality piece of furniture simultaneously functions as an invisible loudspeaker. Kross by ISMA Creative – 2011 red dot award winner When viewed from the side, the larger profile of this purist washbasin mixer is hard to miss. But, viewed from the front, it is one of the slimmest mixers on the market. Loft by Shelly Shelly for Bernhardt Design – 2011 red dot award winner Loft is an example of the disappearing art of craftsmanship in furniture making. Loft was designed in a studio course at Art Center College of design where modern design technologies are combined with age-old construction techniques. Pavilion360 by Jurgen Stoppel and Nuyken von Defele – 2011 red dot honourable mention award winner This garden pavilion communicates elegance and transparency. it is made of self-supporting glass wall panels and sliding elements made of single-pane safety glass, allowing a 360-degree panoramic view. The top and bottom are closed by a floor and roof structure made of hot-galvanized steel. Pure Black & Pure White by HolmbackNordentoft – 2011 red dot best of the best award winner The knives of the Pure Black series line up on the Pure White magnet holder almost like the keys of a piano. The handles and blades of these stainless steel knives morph effortlessly into one well-balanced unity. Backpack Bed by Lisa & Tony Clark of Swags for the Homeless – 2011 red dot best of the best award winner People worldwide can become victims of natural disasters and lose their homes, forced to live outdoors for a period of time. The Backpack Bed was designed particularly with these people in mind. SpeedStar BGP 323 by Royal Philips Electronics – 2011 red dot best of the best award winner This street lighting is CO2 neutral. Its shape is based ona compact, flat LED module that is very versatile. The lighting element can easily be replaced and is low-maintenance. Diamant 32 by Jacob Jensen Design – 2011 red dot award winner Diamant 32 is inspired by the shape of a diamond. The highest point is aligned with the heart of the deceased and the surface of the coffin has been shaped in a way that a single flower can be placed at this exact spot. And last but certainly not least- from 2011 red dot design team of the year… Digital Bath by Grohe – 2011 red dot best of the best award winner This digital bath system is characterised by the high quality of its materials and its user-friendliness. The geometric form of concentric circles, which is both aesthetically pleasing and efficiently designed, makes for ease of use and immediately informs the user of temperature and water flow settings. ----------     |
