| Stick Your Dongle in this Asterisk Posted: 12 Aug 2008 07:15 AM CDT USB hubs come in all shapes and sizes, so why not one of the most ubiquitous shapes in typography? The asterisk’s name is derived from the Latin for Star and this design is certainly the star of the USB lot. Designed by Joel Escalona, the “Asterisco Hub” is like the perfect party, one male to four females connections. Sharpen the edges and you also have a handy cubicle defense system worthy of Mortal Kombat inspired late night tantrums at the office. Designer: Joel Escalona        |

| Posted: 11 Aug 2008 03:13 PM CDT Those of you plugged into the post modern scene know the name Eames. The duo that brought us molded plywood in every shape and form is aped left and right by today’s designers. That aesthetic could be translated into almost anything as demonstrated by designer Joanna M. Hawley and her Prosthetic Leg concept. Most prosthethics are cumbersome looking, ugly, and lack humanity. This new leg starts by a 3D laser scan to generate a point cloud from which data is used to create an exact replica, only mirrored. The final product is a combination of art and science designed to function and inspire. Designer: Joanna M. Hawley More process can be seen here.        |
| Posted: 11 Aug 2008 03:12 PM CDT If you have an affinity for organic yet geometric shapes, this chair should be your fancy. The X Lounger is based on a single ray, traced along a periodic double curved surface. It’s close resemblance to China’s Bird’s Nest Stadium is a testament to how smart and functional this design is. Strong yet flexible without looking harsh and man made. Designer: Timothy Schreiber        |
| Posted: 11 Aug 2008 01:18 PM CDT I sit right under the air conditioner so believe me when I say I look dumbfounded when coworkers come over and turn the thing up. HELLO! I’m freezing over here. Free Wind is a smart ceiling mounted air conditioner with customizable air flows. Six fans operated by a smart system control wind zones and enable sectioned climate control. The cool remote uses touch-drag to anticipate and control your environment with a flick of a finger. Do want! Designer: Hyun Jin Yoon & Eun Hak Lee        |
