Are You Green Hanger Savvy Posted: 20 Nov 2009 04:17 AM PST Don't tell me you didn't get a tad bit influenced by the movie 2012 or seek out the 2012 phenomena? With dark notions like this looming ahead, it really makes me want to do good stuff now, this instant. Stuff like recycling paper and using it in many different forms. One such is the HangSavvy Eco-friendly Recycled Waste Paper Hangers. Stable enough to hold up to 10 kgs of weight and with the same lifespan as the normal steel or plastic hangers. Good quality, reasonable pricing and efficient packaging makes it a winner!

A Very Social Phone Posted: 20 Nov 2009 02:58 AM PST It was about time that someone came up with the concept of a phone that was dedicated to social networking. YD's resident designer Shane Crozier is on top things and has his finger on the pulse. 31337 (Elite) Phone connects to Facebook and Twitter and hooks up to the contacts to fill up the address book. Usual suspects like camera, speakerphone, music, video and internet functionality have been removed for the sake of functional transparency and ease of use. This minimal phone is good for inbound and outbound calls! Details: All functions are controlled by the minimal 2 button, 2 dial interface, with a scrolling interface providing feedback.

Hang On The Rim Posted: 20 Nov 2009 02:30 AM PST All it takes is a hook-shaped carving in a paint brush to quantify it as an ingenious idea. Something that I'm willing to endorse! I may not be a house-painter but I can foresee the situation of someone getting this itch to scratch his nose (or butt). If he were using the Hanging Brush, then naturally he would just hang it by the rim of the paint can and scratch …. Superb! Designers: Bang Jun Mo & You In Sik

The New Clarity Posted: 20 Nov 2009 01:36 AM PST The Mac. He is back. He’s clear again. He is so clear this time, you’ll just want to get out the windex just to see if the glass is actually there. Two concepts. One is a phone, the other is a desktop computer. Made with the real intention of creating something straight out of a sci fi for the greater good of your eyeballs and future humanity. Mac is one of those fellows who, for two main reasons (amongst quite a few others,) continues to hit hard on the online publishing circuit with his amazing designs. ONE: because his designs are so innovative, they’re on the verge of “you are a crazy person.” TWO: because not only does Mac do nice design, he does a LOT of it. This guy is a workaholic. What have we got from Mac today? A phone and a desktop computer. First, the computer. You’ll notice the clarity instantly, I’m sure. This computer is called “Zafiro” – it’s made of glass and has a round rim. It’s made to work as a home version of the giant Precrime computer seen in the film “Minority Report.” You’ll remember the glass I.D. cards slipped in the side of the monitor. In addition, the keys on the keyboard are made of “deformable metal” which flattens out when not in use. And the phone. Look at that thing! It’s called the “Cobalto” and it’s also made with deformable metal. It has the option of forming keys or working flat like modern “smartphone” screens already do. This phone has the same ability to project 3D holograms from a 2D surface that at least one Mac design has had in the past. NOTE: Cool beans! The phone, Mac informs us, is going to be on a Russian TV show that happened upon his designs through his website. I hope we can feature that feature right freaking here soon!

Put That Baby in the Trunk! Posted: 20 Nov 2009 01:32 AM PST OK all you moms… OK all you dads…! Listen up! It’s time you knew about putting your baby in the trunk! The “Trunk Stroller,” that is. Made by design geniousness in Seoul, this stroller folds down to the space you’ve got left over! And when you need to put the baby in it, it comes back up in a jiffy! Now I’ve got a stroller to stroll my baby in, and when I need it back down, it fits in the trunk of my car with plenty of space left for holiday presents! This stroller is weird at first glance. It’s weird to take basically anything out of a trunk, especially something you’ll be then putting your baby in. But maybe that’s the key! Because a baby is involved, it’s appropriately strange! I’ve known a few parents in my day and my parents had kids too, so I know a little bit about parenthood and how hectic it can get. When you’re a parent and you hear “hey, I’ve got something to make that baby situation you’ve got there a lot lighter” – you jump on it! The opportunity I mean, not the baby. The baby belongs in the stroller. Designers: Park Jungmin and Go Jingwon

Cabinets Aplenty Posted: 20 Nov 2009 12:01 AM PST Who’s up for some cabinet design? I am. Let’s do this. We’ve got some flatness, some whiteness, some mirroring, some rounding, and some televisions and speaker equipment placed in there. What do you know! Four objects, one post, one design group: the Art S=4pieR2 sphere, the Mystere Hyde, the Why Not, and of course, the Soul of Pop. We start with the wildness. This “Art S=4pieR2″ is spelled a bit incorrectly, but you can see the correct characters below in the image. This bit of suspended-in-space furniture has two flat sides – one’s an LCD screen for television, the other’s a mirror. The rest is for where you’d put your decks of cards and Faberge eggs and such. The second, the long one, aka the “Mystere Hyde” is a visual technology piece. Foremost it is a gigantic gal-darned mirror. It’s big enough to see Aunt Edna in. Then what do you know! The middle flips up to reveal a 42″ LCD screen tv again! I feel like I’m on “The Price is Right.” Also there’s shelves under the big mirrors also -flip them up as well. The “Why Not” is the simplest of the bunch, with four panels: a mirror, a cabinet with a glass panel over it, a television, and some shelves with no cover. Very square. And last we’ve got one magnificent magnitude of a proportion of modernism. This amalgamation goes by the name “Soul of Pop” and has lots of roundness to it. Several of the panels are mirrored in the back, the television in the center has a mirrored glass front, and look! Two of the shapes match – they’re symmetrically placed! Those are the speakers. Base for your face. Designer: Dalcans Design
