| Posted: 18 Oct 2011 08:22 AM PDT I’m sure you remember Roly-Poly toys or “Bop Bags” as they’re known in the States. They came in many forms and shapes but all had a weighted curved based that always returned the object to an upright position. Take the same idea and make a lamp out of it, and you get the Roly-Poly lamp. The shape is somewhat reminiscent of a matryoshka doll but less “self-centered” if you get my drift. Love the idea since it’s pretty much kid and dog proof. No more shattered lamps. Designer: Estiva Design Studio ----------        |
| Posted: 18 Oct 2011 08:17 AM PDT The “To Be Nature Wood Chopstick” has a convoluted name but presents an interesting contribution to the “grow from waste” ethos that’s so popular these days. It starts life in your hands just like an ordinary set of chopsticks except it’s tipped with a starch cap hiding a seed. When you’re done with it, stick the starch end down into the ground and watch as new life climbs up your sweet and sour chicken coated chopstick. Designer: Gyeongwan Koo (Oliver) ----------     |
| Sharp Twist that Ive will Love Posted: 18 Oct 2011 01:17 AM PDT A pencil sharpener cannot get more basic than this! Twist is a stainless steel sheet, bent with one sharp side, mimicking a pencil shaving. Simple, functional and fantastic! In short, Steve Jobs approved! Twist is an iF concept design entry. Designers: Tianyu Wu, Yinbin Shuai, Mingya Wei & Zhengyu Lin ----------     |
| Posted: 18 Oct 2011 12:50 AM PDT Adapta is an ergonomically designed mouse, based on the feedback obtained from orthopedic doctors and user research. This grip-shaped joystick-esque design promises to ease the stress on your wrists and forearm caused due to prolong use. I spend a good amount of time on the computer and use a Magic Mouse, the only stress I feel is the urge to crack my knuckles every now and then. Eventually the only way to beat any kind of medical complications arising from computer usage, is to moderate our time and do regular exercises. Adapta is a 2011 James Dyson Award Entry. The James Dyson Award is an international design award that celebrates, encourages and inspires the next generation of design engineers. It's run by the James Dyson Foundation, James Dyson's charitable trust, as part of its mission to inspire young people about design engineering. Designer: Ryo Yoshimi ----------     |
| Posted: 18 Oct 2011 12:01 AM PDT The day is coming when people are judged for their choice of stylus as much as they are for their favorite pen. The Architect Stylus is sort of like the Mont Blanc of the stylus world, only it doesn’t have the price tag and… your grandfather probably isn’t interested in owning one. The dual purpose cap protects the silicon tip and can also be tethered to a lanyard so the user can take it anywhere. An anodized, aircraft grade aluminum surface has a smooth, matte finish that gives it an appealing, tactile feel. Get your’s here! Designer: Pedro Gomes ----------     |
| Posted: 18 Oct 2011 12:01 AM PDT Every year at the Festival of Lights, Berlin’s world-famous landmarks and monuments are dressed in spectacular light by international artists and lighting designers. Featured at this year’s event is this installation by designer Manfred Kielnhofer- the Time Guards play with the concept of space and sculpture and are an ominous and enchanting reminder of the power of mysticism The first timeguard was built in 2007 and is reminiscent of a withdrawn monk. Kielnhofer likes to present his sculptures at exciting locations. They appear and disappear. You can never anticipate where they will show up next time, reminding us that we are never unobserved. The next one could be in your city! Designer: Manfred Kielnhofer ----------     |
| Posted: 18 Oct 2011 12:01 AM PDT I’m all for anything inspired by familiar fragments, like this design by Minwoo Lee. Top Lighting is an attractive pendant lamp that subtly takes the form of the traditional Korean spinning top toy. The ash wood accent connecting the electrical wire and steel shade makes a great accent that transforms an otherwise generic aesthetic into an elegant and harmonious blend of materials.
