No relation to the band, but this groovy headphone is interactive and allows you to play with your music. It features a 4-axis-directional button on one side; this is to pick the samples available on the SD card. The other side features a rotatable part to scratch your MP3 on the go!

I'm a mobile DJ now!

Skeletal Screen-Wall

Because they usually come in limited sizes, finding the right room divider can be tricky. Ferma, however, provides a simple, customizable solution in the form of a modular system consisting of thin circular sections & connecting elements. The concept allows the user to construct the screen in an unlimited combination of sizes & shapes – from small to large. Though the construction is minimal, the structure is strong enough to support other furniture elements like shelving or a glass top. Great for defining spaces in contemporary & classic environments alike.

Repurposing the Reusable Grocery Bags

Posted: 20 Dec 2011 12:02 AM PST

Even though my intentions are good, I’m guilty of being one of those people who takes the reusable grocery shopping bag only to never use it again! It usually ends up stuffed under sink or in a closet. This design aims to ensure the bag is reused in an entirely different way. It’s just rigid enough to carry your groceries home and then use it as a garbage bin. Stackable and available in a number of different colors, it’s an effortless way to reduce plastic consumption.

Alternative Mobility for Rehabilitation

The Synchronic Walking Assistant is the result of various, subjective technological interpretations of the anatomical & physiological archetype of the human stride as well as the desire to create an entirely new mode of assistance. The device’s synchronized movement makes it possible to establish permanent assistance in a comfortable position while offering individual adjustment to each user’s unique needs whether it be physical therapy or simply added stability.The pattern of movement is encouraged in a dynamic way, easing the weight placed upon joints while enhancing both joint mobility and muscle activity. This, in combination with innate balance exercise and an upright positioning of the user, offers enhanced versatility to over rehabilitation.
