| LATTEA Design Contest – Coffee Cup Gets Personal Posted: 11 Dec 2009 06:35 AM PST A lot can happen over a cup of coffee. Being a design addict I still treasure this disposable coffee cup I was served in once. It's got this interesting Victorian painting depicted on it and it looks simply awesome.

| Posted: 11 Dec 2009 01:30 AM PST The designers for this Keystick – fan folding-style-keyboard, say that it's a part of their None Bacteria Project – aimed at cutting down spread infections. Ah…I don't buy the story of it being designed for personalized used so that you don't contaminate your fingers. I’d much rather have it as this cool futuristic fan that I flip out of my purse and use it with my iPhone to update my latest posts. I'll have mine in Pink Mr. Kim!

| Posted: 11 Dec 2009 01:00 AM PST Mr. B is the newest way for doing dishes. It uses supersonic technology, helps conserve water and eliminates contamination of water via detergents. Its design has been inspired by a prehistoric creature (wanna guess which?), and has a nanotechnology coating for self-cleaning and keeping Bacteria at bay. The soft rubber brush is safe on all surfaces and the ergonomically shape gives a good grip. It comes with a wireless charging cradle, and the LED "eyes" reflect the battery life and status.

| Posted: 11 Dec 2009 12:10 AM PST Let me just stop you right there. This thing is called the “Robotic Weapon”, but don’t be fooled! All this is really is a teleoperated MIl-Sim non-lethal paintball gun mounted on a 4-wheel-drive E-Maxx RC vehicle. Does that sound like anything you know? I remember a television show about these sorts of things I think. This lovely war machine’s alternate names are: “Kill Bot,” “Mega Hurtz,” “The Wireless Weapon,” and “SWAT BOT.” It’s an all-aluminum lipo powered unmanned ground machine designed specifically for law enforcement. But I’ll tell ye what, I would LOVE to mount a spray can on top of there, or fill the paintball ammo with a rainbow assortment. Capable of speeds around 50mph, controlled by remote with barrel cam vision. Night vision, fully controlled by one person per car. Scary! Designer: Rogers Design Group

| Evaporation Cooling for Apples Posted: 11 Dec 2009 12:01 AM PST But more than that, it’s made for all sorts of fruits and vegetables. This lovely unit, eva2o, cools foods with evaporating water. This shall, in an ideal world, facilitate your timely apple consumption. Dennis Cheng, the designer of this fabulous countertop unit, notes that he’s found that in the UK, 1/3 of grocery store food purchased is wasted on average, with 60% of this waste being completely avoidable. Enter the eva2o. *Sweet facts, yes? Direct all questions to Cheng below! This unit is a double-walled earthenware body with a rotating glass lid. Operating completely and only through the input of water. As the moisture passes through the earthenware walls, heat is pulled away from the unit, leaving a cooled interior. Constantly! You put this thang on your countertop. And bam! Fresh apples. Designer: Dennis Cheng

| Win A Finnish Design Combo – Magisso Cake Server & Magisso Stainless Steel Kitchen Cloth Holder Posted: 11 Dec 2009 12:00 AM PST Urban Butik, the folks who bring us some classy Finnish design products are here on YD to give you a chance to win a sleek Magisso Cake Server and a Magisso Stainless Steel Kitchen Cloth Holder. To win this fantabulous combo set, simply tell us about 2 occasions when you would cut a cake, besides a Birthday and Wedding Anniversary, and 1 reason why using a dishcloth beats a sponge. Rules:
Here's more info on what you can win:
Sporting a very unique shape, the Magisso Cake Server is quite the tool for cutting and serving cake. It is made from a single piece of high quality mirrored Stainless Steel, which is cut and bent to give it this distinctive design. It’s been designed by Maria Kivijärvi, a young Art & Design student from Finland.
This is how it works:
By pressing down on the cake with the cake server, you can cut though the cake and make a perfect piece. By lightly squeezing the handle, you can then lift the piece of cake, and release it on the plate. The Magisso Stainless Steel Kitchen Cloth Holder:
The function of the Magisso stainless steel kitchen cloth holder is to keep your dishcloth stored nicely inside your sink. (Not hanging on the faucet and not bunched up next to the sink – now here’s an idea!). It sports a very clean design and uses a patented double magnet system that keeps it in place. This elegant and functional piece is designed by Miika Mansikkamaa, a talented young inventor, designer and entrepreneur. This is how it works:
The part that resides inside your kitchen cabinet attaches itself to your sink with a strong strip of adhesive, so that it won’t fall. The kitchen cloth holder will “find” the opposite magnet and attach itself to your sink. Magisso is quick and easy to install and will not scratch the sink surface. Why The Magisso Range? The Magisso range of products is new to North America and it embodies the Scandinavian mentality of product design; namely simplicity, quality, style & innovation. This is design for generations.
