| Posted: 19 Oct 2011 06:41 AM PDT We love our coffee so much that we are doing two posts on it today! Plus I am totally intrigued by the Black Luk, a wall mounted coffee machine that dispenses a cuppa java at a time. It is quite a radical form and I have never seen anything quite like it. Sadly the specs are unavailable and not much info is forthcoming. All I can say that anything that dispenses coffee is already on my favorite list. Designer: Song Ah Lee ----------        |
| Posted: 19 Oct 2011 06:03 AM PDT In simple terms the Water Elevator is a bottle or water canister redesign. One that sports a flexible body, much like an accordion. Due to its flexible form, pouring out water is much easier, plus it has the added benefit of an integrated measuring system. So if your cooking requires 2 cups or precisely 4 oz water, you can pour out just that amount without any hassle. My only concern will be of cleaning the system…. Water Elevator is a 2011 Spark Awards entry. Designer: Gyei Yong Lee ----------     |
| Posted: 19 Oct 2011 12:03 AM PDT The Citroen EGGO concept by Damnjan Mitic is a breath of fresh air in a world full of hot-rod speedster concepts. The electric coupe is powered by 4 motors built in to each wheel that can be supplemented with power from a solar panel roof. The egg shaped provides a compact, strong structure & glass, scissor-style doors ensure total visibility of the area around the vehicle. ATV-like suspension makes for a comfy, adjustable, & weather-ready driving experience. Perfect for the hot soccer mom of the future! Designer: Damnjan Mitic ----------     |
| Posted: 19 Oct 2011 12:01 AM PDT A winner at the 2011 Shitsurai Art International Competition, Crater Lake is an environmental installation that serves as a meeting place to visit with friends, contemplate the surroundings, or simply sit for a moment. The design was inspired by the social revitalization of the city of Kobe, Japan after the Great Hanshin-Awaji earthquake of 1995. Multiple ideas and materials were tested to realize the complexity of the smooth and undulating form. Wood was chosen for its strong structural capacity, easiness to work with, and natural qualities. One of the main issues was the expression of the continuous and smooth surface without using costly techniques of wood steaming, bending or digital fabrication. The solution was to divide the circular surface into a number of radial parts, with the optimal number of 20 parts. Factors that determined this optimal number were, overall surface expression, production schedule, and transportation method (vehicle bedsize). These 20 radial parts were preassembled off-site and transported by a vehicle to the main site of Shiosai Park. Standard wood and off-the-shelf hardware were used in construction to avoid any costly customized fabrication process. 2×4 studs were used for all structural members and 30×60 mm treated cedar wood was used for the surface. The structure of radial parts consists of a series of free-form ribs composed in segments with horizontal support and cross bracing for rigidity. Each radial segment has 64 surface planks that are attached to three structural ribs that are rigidly connected between each other with horizontal supports. The surfaces with the most anticipated traffic flow have narrow spacing between each plank. As the mount becomes higher, the spacing distance of surface planks increases, allowing users to climb the mount. The rising mount resulted from understanding the site and seasonal conditions, functioning as a sun shading and wind protection from the bay winds when sitting in the inner area.

| Fun Twist on the Espresso Maker Posted: 19 Oct 2011 12:01 AM PDT Functionality meets funky in this stylish and contemporary take on the espresso machine. The ANIMO OptiBean features a combination of stainless steel and subtle color details that give it a touch of whimsy, while color-adjustable LED lights can be set to the user’s preference. Aside from looking cool, the OptiBean also brings high quality parts like a Swiss made grinder and Italian espresso system together to ensure a long life of use.
