| Posted: 02 Dec 2009 02:50 AM PST M-SEEK aims to make demining safer and quicker. The lightweight device uses an electro-chemical sensor to sniff out the bad stuff. Miners no longer need to wander aimlessly since it’s designed to strategically specify zones of high danger. The designer spent many a day working with real deminers to figure out what needed to improve. The end result is a tool and system that not only saves lives but also money which could potentially mean more deminers hired to rapidly demine an area. Designer: Arsen Stjepanovic

| Posted: 02 Dec 2009 01:30 AM PST Are you really geared up for the winters? Really, really? I'm sure you must be having your woollies out, but there is always scope for improvement. How about Home Improvement? How about an enigmatic radiator that flips open to become this warm bed on the floor. Like the "Bediator"; I'll endorse it only if it promises not to buckle under my weight. Designer: Yi kunwoo

| Posted: 02 Dec 2009 01:00 AM PST It surprises me to know that we got some prudes in the house, who took offense to the sexy banter on the Perfect Screw. So this time I figured I'd keep the obvious sexual innuendos out of the Perfect Squeeze. Orangin Citrus Squeezer! Straight and simple: this is a citrus squeezer that works more like a crank-me-up thang, similar to what you saw on a battery and a light before. Is this decent enough for you? Designer: Jaren Goh

| YouRail Design Contest – Visions of modern transportation by Bombardier Posted: 02 Dec 2009 12:55 AM PST UPDATE: 2 weeks left! Is publishing your contents on online design communities or hosting your own portfolio site enough for creative satisfaction? Don't you want evaluation or recognition for your efforts? Much like how a post is done on YD, where we hear scores of you either trashing or praising a design, forcing the designers to re-think his strategy or go-ahead with his convictions. The Bombardier YouRail Design Contest by HYVE gives you instant feedback, allowing you to re-think your contribution or simply refining it.
The contest is really simple, you only need to register, get inspired and submit your design ideas. The contest is about the creation of new and innovative interior designs for trains. Questions like how a modern train interior should look like and what kind of innovative features should be integrated need to be solved. It is irrelevant if participants have great experience in interior design or not, the contest is addressed to professionals, students, hobby designers and everyone who is interested into the topic. The designs can be submitted drawn freehand or computer generated, by using the configuration tool or just by explaining the interior idea. Participants may either design a seat upholstery with the configuration tool or freely create an interior design to the following three topics:
Like I mentioned to participate you need to simply join the community and submit your own vision for interior design in trains. Or you can create your own seat cover with the 3D – configuration tool. Anyway, you can discuss and evaluate the designs of the community and win great prizes: The members with the three best freely created designs amongst all three topics win cash prizes up to 2.000 Euros. The members with the three best configured designs also win cash prizes up to 600 Euros. Plus: The members with the 4th to the 10th best freely created designs win netbooks. Hurrah! The winning design will be built as a prototype and will be exposed on the InnoTrans 2010 in Berlin which is the leading trade fair in transportation. Besides, the designer of that winning design will be invited by Bombardier to visit the InnoTrans 2010. In addition, the most active member as well as the best freely created and configured designs according to the community evaluation are rewarded with a netbook, too. Finally, one idea will also win a netbook (and a signature book about Bombardier) by the "president's pick" where the jury select the most unconventional idea. The jury has an impressive line-up with high-level management and design experts – get to know them here. What is really impressive is that like our YD community, there is instant feedback and reaction to your designs by the community members. So participating in this contest really makes sense. You get evaluated not only by your contemporaries, but also by an elite panel of judges. Which other design competition can boast of this killer combo? To know more on the contest details hit here. The whole contest phase is being charged by the HYVE Innovation Community GmbH. HYVE is a German innovation agency dealing with customer integration into the product innovation process. Feel free to get all important information about HYVE on their website, or contact them directly. |
| Flowers Growing from the Fridge Posted: 02 Dec 2009 12:17 AM PST You live in the city. You cannot tell a flower from a hole in the wall. Or perhaps you’d love to see a flower there, in the brick, just peeking out at you in this concrete jungle? I love that image. A flower is just a flower, appreciate it all the more if it comes popping up against all odds through the cracks of a dirty sidewalk. This fanciful nature is alive and well in the 25togo designed “Flower in Flat.” Made of strong yet light ABS plates, you’ll feel like you’re carrying steel-plated air as you bring this object to bear upon a wall or refrigerator of your choosing. I’m sure you see the whimsical milk-carton shape there, and be sure to know this: each one comes with magnets on the back for easy application! *glue or paste alright, too! Designer: 25togo [ Buy It Here - Available for $18 at the YD Store ]

| Posted: 02 Dec 2009 12:15 AM PST More like giving it a halo. This post is straight up about a lovely floating sculpture made of untold amounts of woven glass. This Murano glass sculpture lives above Rome’s first big lifestyle store designed as a contemporary art gallery. You gonna love it! I wish our lifestyle stores were this glorious! *Untold amounts of glass actually equals 80,000 handmade glass knit elements – 6,000 kg of glass, steel, and technological wonder. The total surface area that this monster covers is 60 m^2. The lighting is provided by 5000 punctiform halogen lamps, which is ironic(?) because the square meters White Gallery contains also comes to a clean-as-a-whistle 5,000. The term “Fluxus” comes from a latin word meaning “to flow” and is also more popularly known as the title of an international group of artists come together in the 1960’s. Part of their manifesto, most important here I think, is thus: “PROMOTE A REVOLUTIONARY FLOOD AND TIDE IN ART” — just what White Gallery seems to be trying especially fancifully hard to do! The structure is made of mirrored laser cut metal tracks, running along these, fine cross-beams to which the knit elements are anchored. Anchored one-by-one by means of “a technical device created to an original Andromeda design. This project is made possible by the combined efforts of designer Karim Rashid, artist Michela Vianello, Andromeda Murano, and White Gallery. Designer: Michela Vianello and Karim Rashid

| Posted: 02 Dec 2009 12:01 AM PST So you’ve got a new baby, right? What are you going to do?! I don’t know! You might be in trouble! But you’ve got to buckle down. You’re a parent now. You’d better put that child in a buggy. You’d better put that baby in the “Smart Baby Case.” It’s kind of like a Matrix robot nanny pod sort of thing. It’s got several doors! The top door is just a little too small to pull the baby out of, but just large enough for parents to easily access the baby. The main door is the big one, the one that lets the baby get in and out. And of course, the Safety Breath doors: except when the air purification unit is on, these doors allow for safe breathing and they automatically shut when the pressure is too low! Inside you’ll find the communication unit and LED screen. You can look at the baby and the baby can look at you, too! This screen is also near several airblowing units. On the top of this screen unit there’s an orange LED light in the form of the Samsonite logo which shows the quality of the air inside the pod. Inside you’ll also notice the auto rocking unit operated by a small servo unit located between the wells. Auto Diaper around the bottom of the baby has a moisture sensor which gently flushes away waste with water, the same with solid waste, all flushed away with tubes to the waste storage unit at the front of the case. Anatomi Paths as their called are custom fitted around the unique child. These are the foam-looking pads you see in the picture(s) below. They’re made of extremely soft, flexible material to support the baby’s body, especially the head and spine. The skull area is protected by liquid filled pads to prevent damage, sweating, and deformation. The entire unit is powered by rechargeable batteries, alternatively it can be plugged right into the wall. Designer: Pouyan Mokhtarani
