| Posted: 18 Jul 2011 08:57 AM PDT Jaguar Light is an exploration of a new design language for the brand centering around the idea of lightness. A sense of visual reduction and economical use of materials – to do more with less. Inspired by decorative and structural properties of aluminum foam and the honeycomb, the resulting structure is a single sculpted foam where both the exterior and interior are seamlessly intertwined. Beautiful design ethos. Would it work for real? Designer: Hitesh Panchal ----------        |
| Hydraulic Cutting Tools Go Ergonomic Posted: 18 Jul 2011 08:52 AM PDT Hydraulic cutting tools can cut through strong materials like high-carbon alloy steel but they’re were original designed for industrial applications making it difficult to transport and use at the scene of a car wreck. HOC is a solution that ensures the safety and quick extrication due to its improved physical and cognitive ergonomics. The circular handle at the back of the tool is designed to accomodate to different work postures and decrease the risk of injuries. HOC Rescue Power Tool is 2011 IDEA Winner!

| Electrolux Design Lab Finalists – Top 8 Posted: 18 Jul 2011 04:07 AM PDT Intelligent Mobility is the theme for 2011 Electrolux Design Lab and here are the Top 8 designs that made the cut. What's really awesome about the whole process is that the designers get to present their case in front of an audience and do a little Q&A session with the grand jury. Keeping up with last year's tradition of giving you live updates, tweets and pictures; this year too YD will be bring you the action LIVE from London! So bookmark September 7th, 2011; one innovative designer will be taking home 5000 Euros and paid internship at an Electrolux Global Design Center. Salvé Bagel Toaster by Kent Madden The key features that make this bagel toaster energy efficient are the sugar crystal batteries it runs on. Alternatively the appliance can be recharged on a ceramic dock using induction. Freshly toasted bagels make breakfast more yum! Smoobo Blender by Roseanne de Bruin With each bounce, the Smoobo Blender's kinetic batteries get into motion and work the rotary blades within. A refreshing smoothie is ready to drink in a jiffy! Simply love this idea! Robo TAP Cleaner Tap dancing lessons come for free with the Robo TAP Cleaner! The system is a combination of a remote control on your slipper that communicates with the cleaner via an IPS. Two taps near a dirty spot and the robo comes forth for its cleaning duties. Two more taps and the command is canceled. Three taps and the robo returns to its hub and is reset to automatic program. Mobile Induction Heat Plate by Tommi Moilanen Here is a very smart induction cooking plate with an equally smart phone app that allows you to safely heat food from a distance or even remotely. The system has been designed to work with intelligent food packaging where NFC-tags provide instructions on how to heat the food appropriately. The app remembers your previously used cooking options and pairs intelligently with the hotplate. Onda Portable Microwave by Matthew Schwartz It is the age of precooked dinners and so the Onda fulfills the need for a portable microwave oven that works with paper batteries. Ready-to-eat meals are packaged in compatible containers that slide the microwave onto the pack, from one side. "The aluminum contained within the interior of the handheld device creates a circuit connection when the seal of the packaging is broken." Simply fantastic! Ribbon by Enzo Kocak I agree with the sense of déjà vu when I see this design, a multi-purpose heating and cooling element for on the go. The key feature here is the ability of the wrap to chill and heat…so this is a major refinement. Another feature is that the chargeable thermoelectric cell battery can also reverse the charging process. So when not in use, the cells convert excess heat back in to electricity. Basically you can align the Ribbon to form a hotplate or chill a bottle of wine. Sous-vide Cell Cooker by Adam Miklosi The art of slow cooking with a modern twist! The Sous-vide Cellcooker helps you plan and cook a wholesome meal via the smartphone, much ahead of time. You can plan upto a week in advance and the system help you in buying the necessary ingredients as well. Ingredients are sealed in airtight plastic bags and held within a water bath (72 hours is not unusual as a cooking time)—at an accurately determined temperature and much lower than normally used for cooking, typically around 60 °C or 140 °F. The intention is to maintain the integrity of ingredients and achieve very precise control of cooking. Portable Spot Cleaner by Adrian Mankovecky The weary traveler will do anything for a clean shirt, yes even carry the Portable Spot Cleaner! Living out of a suitcase indicates that you are pressed for time and clean clothes is the least of your worries. The Spot Cleaner refreshes a garment by using negative ions & steam to ease out the stains. It uses sugar crystal batteries to energize the device and is quite handy to program. ----------     |
| Posted: 18 Jul 2011 01:34 AM PDT Enough has been said on plugs and sockets and how we can do our bit to save electricity. Another attempt to make the green impact is the Folding Plug; it simply does away with the switch! The plug head itself is the switch. Snap it flush to the wall and the power is on; lever it 90 degrees perpendicular upwards and the circuit gets off. Intuitive and easy but not very furniture friendly I suppose. Designers: Huang Guanglei, Wei Min and Jiang Zhongbiao ----------     |
| Posted: 18 Jul 2011 12:01 AM PDT This is one hot yacht! The Spiritum 57′s sleek looks were designed to be both subtle and aggressive, perfect for the enthusiast who enjoys luxury but also has a wild side. Packing 4 Volvo Penta engines, it doesn’t lack in the speed department either. A telescopic hidden staircase & swimming platform extend from the port side, allowing easy access to the water while providing additional exterior & interior space. A deluxe entertainment system & additional swimming platform that extends from the stern make this the perfect yacht for entertaining. The interior is left simple with a large master bedroom in the front with private bathroom & lounge area and guest room with two single beds that can be turned into a queen size bed. Beyond the sleeping quarters there is a shared bathroom with shower, as well as an open living space with attached kitchen. Windows for the interior are located right next to hidden staircase panel which makes it look like one big stripe from the side view, as well as another long window strip running along the bow that provides a breathtaking view to the master bedroom. Designers: Caan Yaylali, Sean McCarthy & Trevor Sener ----------     |
| Posted: 18 Jul 2011 12:01 AM PDT No matter what age you are, being well rested can mean the difference between a good or bad start of the day. Doze is a sleep positioner designed for disabled children, particularly those who suffer from muscle tension and loss of muscle tone, that assists with side-lying posture at bedtime. The pod decreases the risk of sleeping in awkward positions that may interfere with growth, put pressure on the spine, as well as air flow, which can cause severe breathing problems.

| Posted: 18 Jul 2011 12:01 AM PDT Named after it’s inspiration, the Auratus chaise lounge by designer Wilson Niño mimics the form of a poison dart frog and has brilliant coloring to match. Though it might look like it’s ready to jump, don’t worry, it’s non-toxic and slime-free. An ultra-plush cushion mean you can kick back in comfort while you sharpen those blowdarts. Designer: Wilson Niño ----------     |
