| Win a Lubix Bluetooth Headset in Our Pumpkin Carving Contest! Posted: 17 Oct 2008 06:13 AM CDT Enter the Yanko Design Pumpkin Carving Contest brought to you by Lubix. We have 5, yes count them 5 Lubix stereo bluetooth headsets with custom Yanko Design branding to give away. All you have to do is. . .
If you’re still contemplating, STOP because you could potentially win the Lubix NC1. Designed to be worn around the neck when not in use, the two earpieces snap together magnetically, forming a pendant with the cord as a necklace. When you want to make or take a call, just separate the earpieces with one hand and put one or both of them in your ears. This lightweight, comfortable headset features A2DP support, four built-in 3D sound spatialization modes for enhanced music listening, and support for multiple simultaneous host pairing. Recharges from USB port or wall outlet. Huge thanks to your friends at Lubix for sponsoring this contest. If you don’t want to risk it, head on over to their site and buy your own headset with a custom skin. Sponsor: Lubix lubix |

Something that can be used in several different functional ways to simplify or organize our lives and bring out the best in our imagination. Da-Bloom is by Korean designer Jin-Young Lee and imitates the motion of a blooming flower. Made from plywood and plastic, the table can be customized to your liking with just a few simple twists and turns. Use it as a chair and table or for the children to create an imaginary hide-out. Da-Bloom can also be custom made in various colors - you choose your bloom. Designer: Jin-Young Lee

| Posted: 17 Oct 2008 04:07 AM CDT In a time of moving towards becoming more eco-conscious, and the need for the world to do their part in preserving our earth, we look for new designs that are full of style and functionality. I was made aware of a design concept by Efrain E. Velez - KRANK. With a few cranks of the handle which is quite similar to an old-fashioned hand drill, you can have anywhere from 40 to 60 minutes of bright light using the process of magnetic induction. So basically, as you KRANK, a magnet surrounded by a copper coil and produces enough voltage to light up the lamp. KRANK is made from recyclable aluminum parts which help to make it a better choice in your green home. KRANK should be ready for market in Spring of 2009. Designer: Efrain E. Velez

| Hard Drives as Easy to Install as Ink Cartridges Posted: 17 Oct 2008 01:06 AM CDT You love plug-and-play, yes? You also enjoy modifying your computer, right? Too much effort? Vas Obeyesekere of Point Innovation says: no way! The Evolve Modular CPU takes the soldering out of CPU enhancement, and makes it green in the process! You love green. Vas Obeyesekere introduces the Evolve like so: “From an everyday user's perspective, being green is not enough to justify a change. In this respect, the Evolve can transform between mobile and home computing configurations, can expand or contract its module based components to meet any user's needs, and has an aesthetic fitting most modern environments, despite it's subtle green branding.” Read below for extended details on this conceptual computer model. And P.S., a bit of a side-note: for those of you who have been putting computers together your entire lives, easy as pie: I bet you feel strong and good. I envy you fully, as that part of my brain does me no good. But I do challenge you to a webpage building contest. We’ll see who is plug-and-play then. Designer: Vas Obeyesekere of Point Innovation

| Posted: 16 Oct 2008 05:40 PM CDT Yes yes we know, home phones are nearly a thing of the past. With more and more of us opting for our mobile phones as our sole means of telecommunications, the home phone has almost gone the way of the VCR. Designer Zinc Chan believes the home phone still has life in it and has concocted this fun and beautiful means to communicate. Forget those pesky numbers usually associated with making a call, with Zinc’s design you simply draw the associated shape of the person you want to call and the phone dials them. Looking a lot like a constellation map, the shapes that you draw are merely points of light with numeric assignments. As if that feature was not interesting enough, Zinc also created a handset that attaches directly onto your thumb and pinky creating the Hawaiian “Shaka” hand gesture. Aloha! Designer: Zinc Chan [ Via: Core 77 ]
