| All The Cool Kids Wear Air Jordan Prosthetics Posted: 03 Oct 2008 06:30 AM CDT 3D printing has become an incredibly powerful tool to customize one-off products for differing applications. This project was based on using this technology to design a customized prosthetic leg for a specific user- a young, urban, male athlete. Nike was chosen as an appropriate brand to bring form to the leg. It also required familiarizing oneself with the emotional, medical, lifestyle, and physical changes the user would encounter.

| Posted: 03 Oct 2008 03:06 AM CDT Portable hard drives are not really THAT portable if you have to tote around another peripheral but maybe you should have bought a laptop with a bigger hard drive! OOO Zing! No I didn’t! Yes, yes I did just go there. Kidding aside, the Hang it On hard drive encloser lets you hang you 2.5″ companion off the back of your lappie’s LCD screen. Sure, now your MacBook Air looks like it has a tumor growing off it’s svelt lines but at least you’ll get more than a measily 80 GB. Designer: Sangho Jin        |
| Posted: 03 Oct 2008 03:05 AM CDT This re-design of an electric planer brings the charm and elegance traditional woodworking hand tools together with a new ergonomic handling concept; reducing wrist tension. Have the most modern and sexy looking woodshop in the neighborhood! The tool’s versatile handling options reduces tension and muscle pain during work, especially holding the tool body underneath the handle bar. It’s covered with CPC, a biodegradable cork-polymere composite material, with a high level of water vapor permability and ecxelent noise and vibration absorbing properties. The battery driven electric planer is started by pressing the pressure sensitive safety bar under the handle together with the start button. As soon as the pressure is released from the safety bar, the planer stops. Due to the symmetrical nature of its construction, the Freehand Planer is as easy to use for right-handed and left-handed people. Designer: Mario Weiss        |
| Posted: 02 Oct 2008 01:29 PM CDT No you are not looking at a comforter set for break dancers. This ingenious design called “Le Clochard” by SNURK is a great way to be reminded of the daily plight of the world’s homeless. Proceeds from the sale of these duvet sets will aid homeless shelters around the globe and bring new awareness to one of the oldest issues that plagues humanity. This high quality duvet cover features a photographic print of a cardboard box and is made of pure soft cotton. If you really want that authentic feel, invite in some diseased rats over, starve yourself for a few days, crank the AC and sleep with one eye open for random homeless bashers.

| Virtual French Insanity “le zoom le zoom” Posted: 02 Oct 2008 12:15 PM CDT Well the French have taken their love of video games to the next level. So strong was the response to the virtual racer dubbed “GTbyCITROËN” in the hit Playstation 3 game Gran Turismo 5, that one of France’s oldest auto manufacturers decided to explore the future of design and make the jump to reality. Reminiscent of Mazda’s “Nagare” design movement, this sleek concept features bold design initiatives. Take for example the oversized rear-end “made exaggeratedly long in order to create an effect of retinal persistence. The idea is to make the concept car even faster visually. The white-to-grey gradation on the body side further underlines this impression of continuous movement.” Did you all catch that term “retinal persistence”? Can I say that referring to a large butt? Damn, that girls got some retinal persistence out back! Co-designed with Gran Turismo game designers POLYPHONY, the design exercise does a masterful job of getting us closer to “Form Beyond Fuction” - courtesy Takashi Yamada. Via: AutoBlog        |
