Minimalist Juicer

Posted: 24 Aug 2011 08:16 AM PDT

Nae is an interesting take on what designer Thibaut Rouganne calls a minimalist juicer. Personally I can envisage a far more stripped looking tool for something as simple as juicing but I do like how the lines of the design emphasize its function. The entire thing could be made from one sheet of plastic and it’s far more compact than the traditional juicer.

One Remote Control to Rule Them All

Posted: 24 Aug 2011 08:13 AM PDT

TV is Evolving. Yes, the screens are getting thinner, but the real evolution is the content. Beautifully thin flat screens with streaming internet are making television increasingly personal. The challenge of having all this content to choose from is how to harness it. You need a remote for the TV, a keyboard and mouse for the internet, and a controller for gaming. Toggle delivers a touch experience without a touch screen. Points on the remote's surface are mapped to specific keys and functions. But here's the twist.

To tame all the content piped into a connected TV, Toggle puts you in control with four modes. You shift (or toggle) between modes by sliding the top slice of the device left, right, up, or down. In the center or off position, the Toggle wordmark peeks through. While holding the device horizontally, shift up for a QWERTY keyboard. Shift down to a touchpad primed for two-thumbed or multi-finger use. Shift right for casual gaming. Shift left and spins 90 degrees for a kicked-back, one-handed surfing experience. Type, Surf, Move, or Play, with Toggle, the mode you need is just a quick shift away.

The top half of Toggle includes a masked grid which reveals different interfaces when shifted into the different positions. Shifts are accomplished via sliding tracks in the four corners of the bottom half. Each mode is only a four millimeter shift from the home position. "The motion is based on how you hold it, so it's very natural," says Bristol. "There's an appealing fiddle-factor, but there's also something nice about having this combination of physical interaction with a familiar touch interface."

The keyboard and touchpad are paired to make it easy to shift back-and-forth between text entry and navigation. The exposed graphics are backlit with side-firing LEDs for use in dim lighting.

Looking toward the Future. The Toggle concept was developed through Carbon's Passion Project program in which team members are allowed to explore promising ideas. "Toggle offers an incredibly innovative way to create multi-mode interactions without a lot of cost or effort incurred," says Dan Blase, Carbon's president.

"We'd love to discuss opportunities to develop Toggle further." Who’s in???

You can mistake the Flat-Fold to be a high-tech mirror thang in the bathroom or even a cabinet; but a faucet…most definitely not! The tap fits flush with the base of this discreet wall mount and comes with digital technology, plus a capacitive touch sensitive panel. So basically you can personalize the flow of the water and have it set to taste.

The Flat-Fold is a Recce Bathroom Innovation Awards Finalist.

Tick Tock Block

Posted: 24 Aug 2011 12:03 AM PDT

At first glance, Woody looks like nothing more than a monolithic block of wood, however, the simple flick of a switch reveals a stylish clock. LED lights inside the hollow body shine through the thin wood face. Controls are integrated into the main cable away from the main body to maintain a clean aesthetic that is both modern and organic.

Gold and Rainbows

Posted: 24 Aug 2011 12:02 AM PDT

The Aurum collection by designers Ryan Brown and Katya Jovkovic is one very unique series of sculptured lighting designs ranging from 1 lb t 1000 kg that will make you feel mega-rich with the flip of a switch! Hand cut, polished crystal bricks in the classic shape of tapered gold bars sit atop a base of American black walnut just waiting to be illuminated. Refracted light rainbows make it enchanting when it’s off, but its electric golden glow is what really makes this design shine.
