| Hyundai Concept Motorcycle Stretches Posted: 15 Aug 2011 08:48 AM PDT Inspired by musculature, this concept evokes a fluidic sculpture from the upper and lower sections intertwined together. The whole body is made up of materials that stretch and contract just like your muscles do and enables steering without any kind of assistive apparatus. When turning a corner, the entire body relaxes so that it can smoothly corner, and when accelerating, it contracts to form a rigid body. I’m totally intrigued by the idea. Not so sure about the design though. Designer: Min Seong Kim ----------        |
| iPhone 5′ish Likes Your Fingerprints Posted: 15 Aug 2011 08:40 AM PDT The iPhone5 concept by Zeki Ozek suggests using a fingerprint scanner instead of home button. You can assign your fingerprints for opening apps. Swipe your finger twice for background working apps and of course use your fingerprint for NFC payments and app store purchases. It looks similar to the iPhone 4 except squattier (sic) – cute chubby little thing. I’m 100% sure the real iPhone 5 won’t integrate any of these features but that brings up the question, why aren’t any of the major smartphone makers using biometric sensors?

| Posted: 15 Aug 2011 07:27 AM PDT We have professional ear cleaners here in India, who can be found on the streets, ready to clean out the earwax for a petty fee. Amazing as it sounds, the uppercrust doesn't indulge in the practice, they still prefer the trust old ear bud! And this brings me to the Easy Buds; a redesign of the old with added features like adjustable buds and contour fitting! The bud consists of three major parts flexible rubber cover, adjustable stainless steel sheet and detachable synthetic rubber buds. Apparently this design is more comfortable to use and is more effective in collecting the wax. I know it's a messy business but one that needs to be done on a regular basis. So tell me which one would you pick: the professional guy or this new design? Designer: Basil Jose ----------     |
| Posted: 15 Aug 2011 07:19 AM PDT This delightful Nespresso concept machine is as clean and crisp in design as a smooth cuppa cappuccino! It is a basic machine with minimal functions and can be operated with one simple action. The handle reclines back allowing you to insert the ground coffee beans or coffee capsules; a choice between a short or long espresso on the dial switch makes you the heavenly cuppa joy.

| The Bag Every Creative Should Have Posted: 15 Aug 2011 12:47 AM PDT The slim Match Point laptop bag by Jacquelyn Schmelter makes it possible to carry utilities around in a stylish way while conserving less space.

| Posted: 15 Aug 2011 12:21 AM PDT Featured in the top 20 for the 2011 International Bicycle Design Competition, the Greencycle 2 provides more than just basic transportation between point A and point B; it provides an environmentally sustainable, meaningful and overall beneficial solution to poorer countries. A series of G2s were created in the design process with core parts made from renewable resources such as bamboo, which is widely available in many 3rd world countries. Human-centered research methods were used to capture knowledge and feedback from the target groups in order to shape and develop the design process, ensuring that the end-result would not only be acceptable but also culturally meaningful in a way that would strengthen the user’s relationship with it. 1. An extra wheel for stability – going from a two wheel to a three wheel design to create a triangular base that is stable and strong for heavy loads. 2. The ability to convert back to a two wheel configuration style when the terrain requires tight negotiation – like a narrow pathway through a padi field or poor road conditions as commonly found in Third World countries. 3. A splayed rear wheel base to provide a stable surface for load storage/ carrying which conventional bicycles don't have. 4. Provision for a basic frame for further customization depending on the user's needs and wants, such as a hawker's stand or goods mover. 5. A splayed rear design has given an opportunity for a further fixing point for additional attachments. 6. An attachment that has a dual purpose as a wheel barrow for loading goods and as a trailer for carrying goods. 7. An S-frame shape instead of a diamond frame shape to free up and create as much space for loading. 8. A strong central core acting as an anchor for other attachments, such as a people carrier. 9. A stronger wheel design. 10. Double front spokes to mimic the old style bicycle frame which has reinforced steel front forks. 11. A detachable passenger seat to allow maximum cargo space can also be used as an attachment point or to hang a basket. 12. The main frame components made from environmentally friendly composite bamboo based materials which can be molded to produce the desired form. Designer: Paulus Maringka ----------     |
| Posted: 15 Aug 2011 12:05 AM PDT Inspired by natural peculiarities and movement of the flame itself, the Essence of Flame series of bio-fireplaces transform an industrial fireplace into a visually rich creation, even when it isn’t burning. Designed to fit industrial fireplaces, the simple rings are made of high refractory clay that resists frequent heat. More decoration than primary heat source, and with a variety of styles, each is sure to conjure a relaxed mood in any room. Designer: Alexandra Mazur-Knyazeva ----------     |
