| Posted: 29 Jul 2011 07:48 AM PDT The Charging Tap is quite an adorable hub that takes in cellphones, digital cameras, MP3 and other USB enabled devices, for charging. Quite simple and minimal in styling, all you need to do is to hook up your gadget and turn on the tap! I love it! Designer: Qi Weijia ----------        |
| Posted: 29 Jul 2011 07:16 AM PDT OneBike is quite an innovation I tell you! It's an electric bike that gets powered by kinetic energy. Basically when you set it on its cradle at home, the bike becomes a stationary fitness machine. So every time you pedal to keep fit, it harnesses energy from your motion and converts it to electric power. Tank up the juice and cruise the roads my friends! Awesome!

| ABSOLUT BLANK Inspires Creativity and Imagination Posted: 29 Jul 2011 05:42 AM PDT ABSOLUT is not limited to just being an amazing vodka brand, it has artistic inclinations and we are very excited about that. Their latest collaboration is the ABSOLUT BLANK where the iconic ABSOLUT bottle proves to be a challenging canvas for 18 designers from varied background. The result is 18 exquisite creations that range from cutwork, artwork, lights installation to miniature crafts. For this three-day fest, Yanko Design has compiled all the 18 works into one gallery. You could win a personalized ABSOLUT BLANK piece of art, but rules apply. To win the ABSOLUT BLANK piece of art, you need to:
It's really hard to pick one, but if you were to choose, which design work would you like to win? Absolut Blank from Protein® on Vimeo. Midwesterners Dan Ibarra and Michael Byzewski of Aesthetic Apparatus have created a bottle that is quite imaginative and has a special character to it! I love the fangs and the bulls eye detailing. Los Angeles-based Dave Kinsey is a powerhouse of the graffiti-turned-fine-art set. Feathers, leaves and earthy tones are his traits. Fantasy and imagination have marked Kentborn artist David Bray from the start. His lady with long hair is fantastic, don't miss the peeky eyes detailing within the locks! Good Wives and Warriors is a design duo made up of former Glasgow School of Art classmates Becky Bolton and Louis Chappell. Their work is on top of my charts, I love the intricate detailing and mesmerizing colors used for the artwork. To transport his vision from the mental to the physical plane of existence, Mario Wagner depends on his finesse with scissors and glue. His cutwork of the eye, the fingers and heightened pink is quite magnificent. A central theme to much of the Oakland-based Brett Amory’s work has been “waiting". This is quite evident in his work for the ABSOLUT BLANK Bottle. Ah…the lady is waiting! Asked if working as an artist makes him see the world differently, Brazil-born illustrator/ designer/typographer Eduardo Recife answers that really it’s the opposite. His bird motif and nature theme is quite surprising! In his graphic designs, illustrations and paintings, Fernando Chamarelli mixes multiple esthetic influences — cartoons, caricatures, tattoos and street art. His cocktail of Mexican motifs and symbols is quite refreshing. Having grown up in Albany New York, Jeremy Fish was raised on a diet of Dr. Seuss, Richard Scarry, the Brothers Grimm and skateboarding. So is this bottle Jeremy's take on a fish or Noah's Arc? Brilliant! Rome-born, London-based Ludovica Gioscia’s collages are bright and complex, whimsical and provocative. Looking at her version…we all know what that means. For Bronx-born artist Marcus Jansen, accidents are just a matter of perception. I love the use of yellow in his painting…kudos. New York-based Doug Cunningham and Jason Noto created Morning Breath in the 1990′s after working together at Think Skateboards in San Francisco. They have a very classic take on the ABSOLUT BLANK! Robert Mars is a former skateboarder, the design director of streetwear label Zoo York. He has a very sensational choice for art and diamonds! In each of his paintings, drawings and designs, Sam Flores takes a deep stroll through human fears and passions. I love this woman he has drawn, it feels like she is being comforted by natures. How serene. Texan Zac Freeman’s work has been compared favorably to that of Chuck Close and Bernard Pras. Just look at the way he has recreated a man's face…. excellent! Adhemas Batista likes to say that his job is selling colors. Bright orange and black. Magenta and pink. Purple and baby blue. Color therapy anyone? United Visual Artists — UVA – are a London based collective that draws its energy from breaking down the boundaries between research, software, engineering and art. Their instillation of lights for the ABSOLUT BLANK is phenomenal. Those of you who have seen it are quite lucky. This is one of my fav artwork. The intricate worlds New York-based Thomas Doyle builds in 1:35 scale and smaller find their inspiration in memory. His miniature outlook for ABSOLUT BLANK is world in itself. ----------     |
| Posted: 29 Jul 2011 12:01 AM PDT Increased traffic congestion in urban areas means loss of crucial time for emergency medical teams to reach those in need (trust me, I’ve seen that Los Angeles is a medic’s worst nightmare). Designed to Roam and Rescue within Reduced-space environments, the R-aid is an ambulance attachment optimized for being pulled by motorcycle (here, the Yamaha Tesseract concept) that can quickly deliver medical attention where its needed. Though its half the size of a regular ambulance van, the inside has space for a paramedic, additional driver, one secured patient, and all necessary life-saving equipment.

| Posted: 29 Jul 2011 12:01 AM PDT The HTC Evo 4g combines performance and pick-me-up aesthetic into one sleek and powerful Android superphone that makes its business-like counterparts look and act like a total snooze-fest. Though this “performance powerhouse” features a bigger battery, large 4G antenna, and extra-large speakers, its size is counteracted by an adapted exterior form with visual “tricks” like an eyeball-ish camera protrusion and sleek wrap-around side split that not only contrast its bulk but add to its appeal. This thoughtful design turns would-be hurdles into opportunity. Battery door split lines that are normally located on the sides in order to hide them now accent the back allowing the sides to look clean and solid. The visual solution to housing the huge camera component led to a spherical surrounding shape that looks purposeful and emphasizes the phone’s overall power. Even with bigger than normal components the designers still found room for an inconspicuous but cool looking kickstand. Designer: Donn Koh with One & Co and HTC ----------     |
| Tactile Cookware for the Blind Posted: 29 Jul 2011 12:01 AM PDT You’ve probably never tried to cook with your eyes closed, but imagine if you didn’t have a choice. For the blind & sight impaired people around the world, this otherwise simple task can be as daunting as it is dangerous. Sento cookware answers the practical needs of the sight impaired individuals with a variety of safe utensils with unique tactile qualities for easy identification. Not limited to the blind, this flame-resistant, easy to measure, friendly looking design is great for the beginner-cook as well. Designer: Neora Zigler ----------     |
