Best Of Two Watch Worlds

Posted: 19 Feb 2010 01:00 AM PST

Men are greedy and want only the best, so Designer Josh gives into their whims, by designing a classy Digital Analog Watch. The watchface hosts a modern digital display but still functions like a traditional analog watch. Details like date, day of the week, AM/PM are focused to the center. The AM/PM option switches to the seconds counter and a magnetic wrist band secures the watch around the wrist. Josh is all smiles coz his design has been picked by Cadence Watch Company and will go into production soon. Bravo!

Chaos in Clothes Hanging

Posted: 19 Feb 2010 12:10 AM PST

Hello outlines! This is the hanger you’ve got to have. It’s fanciful! It’s just a riot. It plays on the chaos of clothing hanging on a chair. For really. The form this design takes is that of a clothing hanger or a human shoulder. It’s called the “Siluet.” They’re for organizing or throwing clothing about (on top.) Store your clothings up on this.

I think you’d be best to buy or attain through theft about five of these and set them up there along your big long empty wall, where on each of them you put a different shirt. Can you say week planned out? Yessir.

A Bike Who Hates Lowriding

Posted: 19 Feb 2010 12:09 AM PST

Lemme do a quiz on you, bikers. How well do you love gravity? Not? I really hate it man, it’s terrible. So here’s the thing: you’re in luck. There’s a bike right here that defies it. Like a standard rebel. It’s called “Flying Bike” and it’s quite the magnetic levitator. By using the impetus of the bicycle, power is generated and magnetism brings the back of the bike up, up, up, until the gear is literally in the center of the back wheel, unconnected by anything other than the powers of the magnet.

The the magnet is strong! Kinetic energy brings the back of the bike upward as speed increases. This allows for decreased wind resistance and absorption of impact from bumps, stones, squirrels, etc.

But wait, isn’t that a sort of gear situation I see on the back wheel? Does that become dissipated once the bike goes fast enough to lift off the ground? Yes! There is a point where the force changes. This is similar to what happens in the front, but with a much smaller gear.

The biker’s gonna have to get used to this sort of situation.

Flying’s always a sort of “learning experience.”

Is it One Chair, or is it More?

Posted: 19 Feb 2010 12:02 AM PST

There is more! But there is also one. It is like a spore. A good spore! As the designer Jie-Jyun Lyu says, those who live in a small apartment like to have few pieces of furniture. But when too many people come over, you’ve gotta have more! So you need an amazing chair device such as this, one that’s both a single chair, but a bunch of shoot-off chairs that work just as nicely as the original. But with less bumps.

Each cushion chair combines to become Voltron, which is really big awesome and comfortably powerful. But as you know, when Voltron is apart, it’s five lions instead of just one big dude. That’s what this design is!

It’s the “Shair.” And as an added bonus: when the chairs are down off the frame, the frame becomes a rack for all your guests coats, hats, and whatever else they’ve decided to take off.

Friday Giveaway: Tweet And Win Three Vino Arielle Wine Aerator

Posted: 19 Feb 2010 12:00 AM PST

We have discussed the Vino Arielle and its benefits on YD and now it's time to give you ThreeFor Free! To say that we expect you to do NOTHING in return would be So False! We need you to tweet "Vino Arielle: Instant Aeration, Fuller Flavor, Better Aroma, Best Wine Aerator. Follow @Yanko Design retweet http://bit.ly/ahqc8I to win one of the three". To refresh your memory on how this thing works, take a peek ahead…

vino arielle™ is designed based on the principle of fluid mechanics, intelligently introducing the ideal amount of air into your wine through a seemingly simple yet precisely calculated mechanism. It is also made from food-grade plastic materials.

1. When wine is poured through, the filter serves to retain and remove any sediments in the wine resulting in purer wine and also act as the first aeration process.

2. As wine flows through the openings on the filter, the right amount of air is drawn through the centre shaft of the aerator into the mixing chamber thereby oxygenating the wine.

3. Vortices are then formed as the wine exit the aerator and these bubbles will aerate the wine for the second time.

You can buy one here at the YD Store or Tweet and Win!

Contest Ends: February 21st, 11:59 pm PST
