| Posted: 02 Feb 2010 04:20 AM PST Sometimes I really consider myself to be a fusspot when it comes to stress relief. I find squeezing stress balls too childish and the juggling of those Zen balls is best left to monks. One thing that has taken my fancy is lights and the unique odd ways in which I can use it to my advantage. Diana Lin's d°light Bubbles looks dandy enough on their own, but I totally dig the interactive aspect. The bunch just beckons you to come over and give them a delightful squeeze. They even give out a 'whoo' sound at every pinch; sweet silicone bubble LEDs. I want one for my stress! Designer: Diana Lin [ Buy it Here d°light Bubbles available for $139 @ YD Store ]

| Posted: 02 Feb 2010 03:15 AM PST Monash student Damien believes that by 2025 our urban infrastructure is going to be under considerable strains, which is why our streets are going to be jam-packed with traffic most of the time. Providing speedy Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to victims will require funky reconnaissance and first aid vehicles like the Re:Veive. Agile and nimble, its soft silicon body houses a quadrapedial hydraulics system that allows it to navigate through traffic by literally standing up and walking thru. Thanks to the hydraulics system, it can even traverse dividers and operate under flood conditions. The in-house communication set up allows it to coordinate with ambulances and other essential services. The modular interior design allows medical supplies to be quickly, sterilized, refitted and easily tailored to any EMS task. The car looks super awesome, but my question is…are we still going to have killing traffic in the future? Have we not learnt anything from our infrastructure mistakes now? Designer: Damien Armelin

| Posted: 02 Feb 2010 02:07 AM PST Unless you are one of those twisted minds that create art out of pencil stubs, the normal routine would be to discard them. But from now on, you can become a pencil stub collector. The 1 + 1 = 1 is no mathematical error, but applied to this equation: 1 pencil stub + 1 pencil stub = 1 long pencil. Really functional and awesome! Designers: Hoyoung Lee, Youngwoo Park & Jinyoung Park

| Posted: 02 Feb 2010 12:17 AM PST This is one of those unique opportunities where the product’s extended collection of copy (that’s the words) lends a direct hand in the title of the post. This post is a special case in more ways than one, though, as you’re soon 2b seeing. The name of the project is “Stiletto Police”, and as far as industrial design projects go, this one’s rather graphic. Look at these shoes. And fall right into a maniacal state of wonder. I am telling you about them right now, like a major incident crash, blood, guts, and metal flying everywhere. And who has to come to the scene first? Besides local wildlife? The cops! And they know what time it is. Time to get ill. Time to stay fashion frenzied, even in an emergency situation. We live in an explosive time for fashion. Bright lights, low brow, express yourself. Applause is given to those who don’t hold back. That’s what these shoes are all about, if you ask me. Absolute wonderfulness embodied in a shoe. Anyone who looks at these (assuming they someday exist in the real world) must stop in wonder. Wow, what am I even looking at! These are a sight to behold! If I had them, I’d put em up for display for everyone to put their eyeballs on. Why? I can’t walk in heels to save my life. Right on my nose. Designer: Tim Cooper

| How Skeletal can an H Bike Be? Posted: 02 Feb 2010 12:10 AM PST Made to be above all minimal. Should I be funny and just leave that one sentence as a description? Nay! Naw! Heck naw! Let’s talk all about this bike right here, buddy! The lines on it are simple yet dynamic. The shape is extreme, as if we were living on an alternate timeline where this bike had grown from a bizarro world history. And what is it made of? Carbon! And what’s its name? Hybrid City! Yes, this is a carbon-based life-form. This makeup allows for maximum weight reduction in the end product. So let me tell you. The one thing I got a big problem with. HUGE PROBLEM. Is that it’s not covered with butterflies. Ever since I saw that design so many months ago, I just cannot get it out of my head. BUT! I’ll tell ye what. The matte black on this bike does quite the trick. If anything is going to blank my platter, it’s going to be matte. Very wild! And why is it called hybrid? Because it’s half electric? No way. It’s because it’s got high fashion and extreme styling at the same time as being ready to be considered a premium city bike for commuting and extensive rider base. That’s it! Designer: Peter Dudas

| Posted: 02 Feb 2010 12:01 AM PST Welcome to what you might call tomorrows… business card? This post features an exercise in mobile device brainstorming under the title “Tie.” Each of the pictures in this project is an interactive version of what folks pass around today. Maybe it’s just the simpler version of the smartphone. Or maybe… it’s something completely new! Devour, chew on, spit out, taste, nibble on these images. Tie them all together. Designer Daniel Cane is particularly vague, or maybe you’d call it all-encompassing, when he describes this project. What it’s identified by is its innovation in solving the social puzzle that is tomorrows business communications market. What it will supposedly do is allow companies to “better express their brand equities” and lets individuals have “more control over their relationships and identities.” What it runs on is up to you. It relies on the technology of the day. Using existing mobile devices custom hardware units and software interfaces, this “Tie” aims to innovate. That’s the idea! Before you ask “but what is it?” Note: It’s basically a sketchbook of ideas for the future of social interaction and mobile communication. Quite simply. As they appear below: 1 ) Backlit display, card size. 2 ) Couture, wood paneling. 3 ) Couture, suede paneling. 4 ) Dynamic, bent display. 5 ) Dynamic, bent display flattens for easier stowing. 6 ) Express, elastomer interaction points. 7 ) Resist, protective elastomer overmoulding. 8 ) Resist, brushed metal casting. Designer: Daniel Cane
