| Intergalactic Fun Begins Early Posted: 09 Mar 2009 05:16 AM PDT Do you see the look of defiance in this kid's eyes? He's like…Do what you want I'm gonna spill that bowl of Cheerios! Grrrr Tiger I like it! "This innovative children's bowl rotates, swivels and dips in every direction, making it difficult for dry food contents to spill out. Its reactive gravity-defying technology utilizes a weighted inner bowl, which rotates 360 degrees to catch the bowl's contents as they slosh from side to side, keeping food inside and the floor snack-free." The three-part bowl is made from polypropylene plastic and disassembles so that you can wash it conveniently in the dishwasher. Löopa is the brainchild of Brad and Melinda Shepard who managed to get this bowl into production with the help of reality show, Everyday Edisons. You can actually pick this bowl up for under $10 from the homesite here. Designers: Brad & Melinda Shepard        |
| Posted: 09 Mar 2009 04:51 AM PDT From the size of it I know most people will go, "Tch, tch that's a really small dishwasher!" But sweets this one's for the double-income-no-children types and singles. That's how specific designing is getting these days, and me being from the old school of thought of big happy families is finding it hard to digest! The sleek looking Gota is small enough to fit on the kitchen platform and has an eco-sense as well. Its one of those niche things that couples will like to show off about. In its pre-wash cycle the dishwasher steams up the dishes and recycles the cooled down residual H2O for the later-on cycles. That's a neat way of conserving water for a pint-sized washer! The body of the Gota is crafted from ABS polycarbonate and the internal tank stores sufficient enough water for a round of cleaning. Designer: Ibsen Caldas     |
| Posted: 09 Mar 2009 02:39 AM PDT Are you one of those musically inclined people who love to jam at the drop of a hat? Designer Jose Tomas DeLuna thinks that there is a market for the creative music junkies who like to mix their music on the go. As a result he has conceptualized KRE8, which is mobile phone but has plenty of musically enhanced features. It's a device that bridges musical creativity and communication. First lets talk about the physical features: KRE8 splits into two and uses sensors and accelerometers to figure out the gestures you are making. Broadly there are three modes in the system: Instrument Mode (guitar, drums, violin), Mix Mode and Record Mode. So based on the gesture inputs, the system automatically slips into any one of the Instrument Modes and follows your jam. The output is recorded as MIDI Signal and can be shared with others via 3G, which can broadcast publicly or privately giving you the option to let people jam/mix along with you. A glass touchscreen allows editing on the fly and more than makes up for the loss of knobs, toggles and sliders used for such kind of work. What all can this device do? The completed mixes can be stored on the wireless network and tagged with GPS coordinates. This way when another KRE8 user comes in proximity to where the original user had tagged their mixes/jams, they’ll get a notification that a creative piece was left there, and can listen, or add to it. I listen to music but don't make any, so I don't know how helpful such a device will be for those who create it. However, for what its worth I think this idea is swell and will be excellent for those who make music on the go! Designer: Jose Tomas DeLuna     |
| Not All Who Condiment Are Lost Posted: 09 Mar 2009 01:38 AM PDT For truly, it is the one who seeks “Balance,” the salt and pepper shaker stack, that finds their food seasoned just right. And on top of that, (or should I say beneath it,) a dish for gravy, sauce, or sugar. Or whatever else you need. Find this set in the home of the feng shui attentive - or those who love to use rocks for shakeable seasoning containers. Each of these stones is made of porcelain, each having a different feel: smooth for the salt, rugged for the pepper. Salt: 6.5×5x3 CM, Pepper: 9×5.5×2.8 CM, Base: 11.5×7x2.3 CM. Not for storing anything else! You scoundrel hippies, you. Designer: Woody Hsieh for Toast Living     |
| A Lighthearted Look at Lighting Hungry Hearts Posted: 09 Mar 2009 01:00 AM PDT “Table for two, please. Thank you. Oh I see you’ve prepared a table which emphasizes the fact that we are in love. Thank you again!” Welcome, to you, to “dinner4two”, a contraption made by the romantically named designer Ricardo Sa Freire. Take a moment to explore the same-plate, the broken heart glass, and the snug split-line table. Kisses! A relationship with a lovers table one may never have had before. First, no backs to the seats, “If you are want to lean somewhere lean forward,” so sayeth Sa Freire. The plates are one, so prepare to share. The red cup has a broken heart when it’s left alone, so drink up the win together. And the table: it has a line down the middle to invite invasion. And it’s low to the ground, and cozy underneath and on top. Invites for after-dinner. See you there. Designer: Ricardo Sa Freire     |
