| A Lovely Little Clock with a Single Fuction Posted: 16 Apr 2009 12:01 AM PDT Or is it two functions? It tells time, yes, time perfectly well. But it eliminates the problem that I just saw, not 2 minutes ago, saw the tv character “Monk” having. At daylight savings time, a person has to set their clock back or forward exactly one hour. For some clocks, this is basically impossible because the spinner spins all the wheels spinning at the same spin. With this “Ora ilLegale” clock, as you can see, it’s a cinch! For you Monks out there who’ve got to be precise about your daylight savings time changes. Some statistics of this minimalistic tic-toc wonder are as follows: Material: wood and clock components Is it a full package? It will eventually be produced by NAVA, and will be displayed at the upcoming Milan Design Week. The designer, Denis Guidone, has had one other concept posted on Yanko, a clock too, how about that!

| That Yellow Bike Survived a Train Hit Posted: 16 Apr 2009 12:01 AM PDT Maybe. You never know. It’s called the “24/7 City Pedelec” and it’s hard as Wolverine. It’s components are made for daily heavy use and “permanently changing users.” Customized for long life, low maintenance, and usability. What’s that mean, really? I can use it good. Real good. Anyway, it’s compact frame structure guards against vandalism (not paint, but bashing,) and wearing out from stuff like nature. No dangly bits stick out. Yellow much? The insides are all new. Technology, and stuff. Check it out: chains, shifting gears, and breaks are replaced with these crazy components: cardan drive, centrifugal gear unit, and hydraulic breaks. And oh wow, check it out also: modular. The modular frame structure allows for upgrades. Start with the basic model, upgrade to better parts one-by-one. You’ll be hanging out with those fixed-gear clown-shoes in no time! Designer: Philipp Guenthe     |
| Posted: 16 Apr 2009 12:01 AM PDT So I know a lot of you are bohemians. You travel from place to place, packing up all of your belongings on a weekly basis and living in a brand new place, each time. Or. What’s that? You’ve lived in the same place for several years? Well how do you stay inspired? You change your perma-surroundings to make your surroundings less perma? Why, that sounds just lovely! They should make more city landmarks like that. Like, oh, say… stages for public performances! Yes, indeed! Oh holy crap they are doing that. It’s designers Jan Ledwon and Alicja Chola to the rescue with the urban planning and the architecture learnings and the whatnot. Check out how conscious they are of urban surroundings (which of course, means nothing but graffiti upon graffiti and so fourth.) The sculptural form is nothing without bright shiny lights and the occasional rip-roaring performance by a band. This design, which originates in Poland, has just won first place in the Trimo Urban Crash international design competition for students of architecture. According to officials from the competition, “their proposal for a cultural stage will be built on-location in Ljubljana, Slovenia, this summer.” Yow! Oh and AMS33 is just a code name for now.

| Work It, Make It, Do It, Decaf Posted: 15 Apr 2009 08:06 PM PDT The Nilko “IMO” concept coffee maker by Alisson Wilson Ströher is an arm wrestling robot. Or, if that were a feature, it would be complete. As it stands, it’s compact (folds small,) folds out to many heights for tall or short containers, and holds enough water for lots of coffee. The water reservoir brews three average-sized packets of coffee. Simple, nice, orangy! This design was sent to us here at Yanko by the designer, Alisson Wilson Ströher direct. It’s also been posted today on several other sites which each give their own unique view of the product. As the singular coffee maker fuels the design community, the design community appreciates the coffee maker: Coroflot, Trends Updates, The Design Blog, and Gizmodo. Too hot, too hot, too hot to hold ya. Designer: Alisson Wilson Ströher     |
| Photog Hounds Like The Leica S5 Posted: 15 Apr 2009 09:04 AM PDT The Leica S5 concept is a technical and stylish evolution to its predecessor the S2. A reduced form factor accentuates the optical connection between body and lens. The objective was to design a body which emits harmony - underlining the technological advances of the S- System. The specs are pretty high-up but a little wishful thinking doesn’t hurt. The Leica S5 carries a GPS and image stabilizer onboard, which make the camera suitable for sport- action photo sessions. An integrated WLAN connection makes computer tethering less of a headache. An additional feature is the ability to make HD- short movies, one we see many of the top-tier digital SLRs are throwing in.

| Posted: 15 Apr 2009 09:00 AM PDT If carpets, hardwood, and concrete floors are too passe for you, how about one that generates floral patterns underneath every squishy step? The Blooming Step flooring system is a vinyl carpet containing nontransparent gel that appears clear when undisturbed. When you step on it flowers seemingly bloom from the surface tension and just as quickly disappear - creating a visual conversation as people walk across the room and interact with furniture.
