Totally Unique & Awesome, that's how I like to describe Rocking On The Beach. Be it you actually grooving on the sandscape or rocking yourself to La La Land in this glorious chair! This is one of the things you really got to see to believe so I recommend you hit the jump and catch the two videos that brilliantly showcase the breeze, the sound of waves and the sandy beach via clinging pipes of a rocking chair!
Main material used: ABS, plywood & sand

Polaroid Movie

Posted: 12 Feb 2010 05:13 AM PST

Taking our obsession for home videos and technology, designer Kim Hyun Joong has come up with an idea that explores the possibilities of instant gratification that Polaroid picutes gave us. The Movie Polaroid Camera prints movies on a flexible display that hopes to use Touch grapheme* technology to its advantage. The concept is a combination of analogue Polaroid film and digital touch technology and contains a built-in movie printer, which immediately "prints" the footage after the user has filmed it.

The device captures movie and sound which are "printed" on a substrate that mimics traditional Polaroid film paper. The camera gets powered by giving it a few good shakes and also juices up the Polaroid Film for viewing. The compact size of the film screen makes it easy to carry around in your wallet or pocket.

Except for having a charming novelty value, I don't see much application to this device…but it will be good to see technology being to good use.

*Graphene is a flat sheet of carbon rings just one atom thick, which is being studied for a range of electronic applications.

Hey how’s it hangin? So well? Excellent! How are you doing on lamps today? Could use a few more? I’ve got one for you right here. A weird one! It’s called the “Riga” lamp and designer Markus Maurer made it just weird enough for your wild industrial design sensibilities. The Riga asks Maurer and its entire audience: how does one make balance perfectly visible?

In lamp form.

This is an LED suspension lamp. It’s freely moveable and gives off a ton of light. It’s name is alternatively “RIGA” in all caps, so remember that when they stat selling out the designer lamp stores around the world.

RIGA hangs by just one steel cable which is also the conducting cable for power. Patterns form on the floor when the two strips intersect. Relax and change, live and move.

Flamenco Shineathon

Posted: 12 Feb 2010 12:02 AM PST

A chandelier from the outer reaches of space and inspiration. A dance, a movement, and a powerful expression. For the designer, a very special moment captured, a very strong emotion turned into sculpture and hung from the ceiling. Made of brass and tied together with screws. White outside of pieces for a grayscale effect, inside reflections of shiny fabulous brasses for shadowplay inside the piece itself and inside the room it blesses itself with.

Joyous chandelier experience! The reflections on this piece shine on the room when it’s switched on and continue to shine around the room when it’s off. It’s a magnificent shinefest!

Lillies on Wheels

Posted: 12 Feb 2010 12:02 AM PST

Perhaps you’d like to do your part to beat down environment destroying monsters. Maybe you’d like to do your part in being supergreen. In an ideal world, you’d be the one to be the superhero Greenzo. Well here’s your chance in automotives! It’s a car that’s barely a car, if you consider a car to be made of more than 2 main components, running on fossil fuels and lookin all traditional and whatnot.

This project is called “Anything Moves a Bucket of Lillies” and it’s meant to draw attention to the waste involved in the creation of cars, trucks, and so forth in todays auto industry.

This vehicle is made up of an upper and a lower body. The design requires non of the welding and painting techniques used today. Electronic modules are placed in the low center of the car, pushing the center of gravity below the roll center and placing it in a safe area incase of crashbangbooming. This battery is recharged using induction coupling technology that allows the car to get powered up during parking time.

In high honor of computer networking, these cars use that theory and the concept of batch production for net production (aka postponement) allowing flexibility in production, lowering corporate expansion costs, and cutting down on CO2 emissions. Production in the way this envisions uses existing distribution networks, excluding the need for special transports like car carries or ships, which are basically terrible.

Look at this very wild video to explain to you what’s going on with the reduced complexity presented by this project:
