An Empty Bottle Gets A New Purpose In Life Posted: 23 Jun 2009 12:05 AM PDT What good is an empty discarded glass bottle? It only deserves to go back to the recycle bin! NOOO! Wait, don't give up as yet, invert it over the "Re:fill Chime Bell And Lights" and see it dazzle on your restaurant table! The concept is this: you're in the restaurant waiting for the waiter to show up to take your order, frantic waving and subtle gestures aren't working. Use this ingenious gadget to attract the guy's attention: order = pink light; water = blue light and bill = green light. Sneaky me is never gonna hit the bill button! Designer: Doyeop Kim

Lighted Artwork On My Walls Posted: 23 Jun 2009 12:03 AM PDT The closest I ever got to needlepoint or patchwork was way back in school when I was forced to do it (for grades!). Looking at the Breathing Patchwork has stirred the artist in me to try out some artsy work in the name of innovation. Basically these modular light tiles are marriage between doing "family patchwork quilt and home-made stained glass windows." Using your creativity, paint out images on the tiles (which look translucent during the day) and watch them to come to life in the evening thanks to the OLED emitter. Create the ultimate "stained glass" mosaic! Details: - Each light tile is made of a small, framed 150×150mm transparent OLED emitter. - Layered onto this is a sheet of clear acrylic, onto which an image can be painted using standard water based acrylics. - During the day the artwork is translucent in the same way that a traditional stained glass window pane is, but at night and in low light, the OLED emitter can be turned on to create a backlit "stained glass" mosaic. - Each acrylic panel can be removed from the frame and washed clean with warm water. New artwork can then be applied with zero material wastage. - Each OLED tile is modular, and additional units can be placed in any pattern along the wall. - The frame has contacts on each of its four sides allowing for limitless customization of the wall within the constraints of the power supply and OLED driver tile. Designer's Note: Breathing Patchwork can be used to display children’s artwork, family patchworks, or any other artwork of personal and emotional relevance. Designer: Shane Crozier

King of the Paper Ring Posted: 23 Jun 2009 12:01 AM PDT How pretty a princess you will be! Or prince! Or both! A set of rings, all made of basically what you’d call “regular” paper, each one cut out (by you), rolled or folded, and worn monthly (or daily, depending on how rough you are.) Each flower ring corresponds with a month out of the year. There are two sets: one birthday set, and one “yearly” set. Fancy! TT:NT has for us a simply cute little concept here that involves a little paper, a little cutting and folding, and a lot of giggles. These rings come in one full set (”All Year Rings”) or in singles, packaged as a birthday card (”Birthday Rings.”) These rings follow the following follow-able list of pretty pretty flowers: January - Carnation February - Violet March - Jonquil April - Daisy May - Hawthorn June - Rose July - Tulip August - Poppy September - Morning Glory October - Cosmos November - Chrysanthemum December - Orchid TT:NT believes that the birth month flowers originated some time in/during the Roman Empire. Wikipedia gives a slightly different list of flowers, but no other info. If you’ve got some insider info on monthly birth flowers, leave a note! That would be awesome. Designer: TT:NT

Savior In Deep Waters Posted: 23 Jun 2009 12:00 AM PDT Generally the focus is always on rapid action response kinda systems that help provide relief during disasters. The flat-pack recovery Rescue Boat seen here is not for rapid response but for post-disaster scenarios. The focus is on a systematic, reliable vessel that will help recover cargo and victims. It is stored and transported in its stackable 9″-deep form, with pontoon tubes detached; till its services are required. The pontoon tubes add stability to the design and are attached when the boat is set in the water. The sidewalls fold up to become handrails and rotate further to become ladders, to help up stranded folks. Depending upon the retrievals, it can either be used as a flat space for cargo or pull up the foldable seats to accommodate 26 pax. A tent stored in the floor compartment comes in handy as temporary accommodation, when you bring ashore the vessel. Facts and figures: - L' x W' x H': 14 x 8 x .75 (w/tubes 14 x 8 x 1.75)(w/tent 14 x 8 x 5.75) - Material considerations: heavy-duty biopolymer (or aluminum) for boat body and pontoon tubes, steel sidewalls. Wooden or plastic oars, plastic or aluminum benches, canvas or synthetic tent, rubberized metal tent poles. - Seating capacity: 10 comfortably, 20 full capacity, 26 maximum - Sleeping capacity: 8 comfortably, 14 maximum Designer: Matthew Spencer Here's a look at some other commendable rescue missions covered on YD earlier Rez-Q by Jacob Ballard This one is a pretty basic canoe and stretcher mission.
