| Posted: 12 Oct 2011 04:44 AM PDT Besides the washing machine, most Indian women depends heavily on the Dhobi (aka washer man) to wash the house linen. Heavy-duty laundry is always assigned to this curious breed of people (dhobi), who carry their load to the nearest dhobi ghat and manually launder the towels, bed sheets, trousers etc. Crisp ironed linen and clothes are handed back after a week and the next stack is lined up for collection. Indra is a concept washing machine to aid the dhobi with his washing and make life more easier for him. Manual labor is cheaper in India than using electricity and machines. Thus the Indra is designed on this premise. A look at this video here will give you an idea on how the dhobis function. Incase you are wondering, my dhobi comes in every Monday for collecting the clothes! Designer: Elodie Delassus ---------- |
| Posted: 12 Oct 2011 04:25 AM PDT Would Mozart and Beethoven have a problem if their grand piano was digital and came flat-packed? I think not, if they had a sense of humor, they would totally appreciate this new outlook at transporting one of the biggest and heaviest of home furniture! I like the Foldable Digital Grand Piano, I want one, and hopefully it sounds as good as the real thing! Designers: Yun Jin-yeong & Jeong Seong-hun ---------- |
| Posted: 12 Oct 2011 12:01 AM PDT The folding umbrella is an incredibly useful and quite simple way of protecting us from the elements, but after making it in from the rain they can be a bit messy and tedious to store. The POPI umbrella provides a simple solution for quick, dry, and easy storage. The handle doubles as sealable housing making it possible to store anywhere, even when wet! Simply pop the cap to release or contain the umbrella, throw it in your bag, and be on your way. Designer: Massimo Battaglia ---------- |
| Posted: 12 Oct 2011 12:01 AM PDT Ballare (Italian for dance) is a series of ceramic drinking cups by designer Yury Dovganyuk with a twist… literally. Inspired by a dancer’s movement, the elegant cups appear to twirl before your eyes. Almost too pretty to drink out of! Designer: Yury Dovganyuk ---------- |
| Posted: 12 Oct 2011 12:01 AM PDT While I was crate training my pup, I got some great advice for keeping him calm when I was away- simply place a worn shirt or other article of clothing that had your scent in the crate. Sure enough, it did the trick… but only at the cost of ruined shirts! The WithMe Bone was designed to keep lonely dogs at ease and clothes in-tact – just place a small article of clothing (like a sock) in the hollow bone, twist the cap shut, and voila!…. your dogs will think you never left. Now if only it fixed crooked tails… Designer: Yunfan Tan ---------- |
