Chemistry Lab Equipments On The Table Posted: 13 Oct 2009 04:27 AM PDT A look at these bottles and you go…OMG am I in the chemistry lab again? No you're not, but you may as well re-visit the Pipette Bottles and enjoy them. Only this time you store your oil & vinegar in it and proudly display them on your kitchen counter or dining table. Actually go ahead and store any kinda drippy sauce in them, and use the pipette to measure out the exact quantity of the condiment you want. Not a drop more nor a drop less!

AC On The Blind Posted: 13 Oct 2009 12:42 AM PDT Blinds on the windows do nothing but hang out there and shade the room from the sun. Say if we were to add functionality to it, what can we include….k, give it some Solar Power, plus add in some engineering tech, and pesto you got the Blind Air Conditioner! An AC that doubles up as blinds and sources green power from the sun. Design-wise it all adds up, but function-wise and scope-wise I'm still on the fence about it. So what's your take on it?

This Table Be All Crumpled Up Posted: 13 Oct 2009 12:01 AM PDT Oh yes! A table that started out as a “simple software experiment.” This is exactly the sort of thing that an investigatory exploratory design junkie like me likes to read when discovering a new design. Experiencing the CNC technology was the first aim of this project. In the end, it shot out into outer space where the aesthetically unpromising became the end product, the critique of all other tables became the conclusion. It’s a look at all other objects that are so overly designed that their primary function is overlooked! It’s got so much personality, and so much temper. This table is made more to make you consider it than to perform its task as a table. The medium is the message! The materials used: wood with a mat polyurethane color coat.

Wearable Regulation for Children with Autism Posted: 13 Oct 2009 12:01 AM PDT As you might already know reading a post about Autism, one of the most obvious tendencies of children with Autism is to repeat certain actions. These can range from bobbing the head, rocking the body, scratching the flesh, and banging the hand. That’s a small list. What this product tries to do is to take that tendency and aim it at this product. It’s soft, stretchy, and can be tugged, rubbed, squeezed, bitten, etc.. Will it work? What this particular product, the “Repeat,” does, is to teach the child to limit their repeated actions to a time frame indicated on the product by flashing LED lights. There’s also a small numbered timer for goal-setting. Some concerns I’ve got, and I’m sure if you’re here to talk about Autism you’ll have some of these too, especially if you know someone affected: If the product is not on the wrist at a time of the day where the product cannot be left on the wrist (maybe at bedtime, bath/shower time), the child may continue the action in the place where the band was set. This might lead to injury, depending on the intensity of their need to repeat, and in what manner. For those children whose tendency it is to rock back and forth or bob their head for example, this product might have no effect at all. If the product is used with children with visual self-stimulating behavior needs, the lights may become distracting rather than helpful. Those things out in the air, note the following, most importantly: Any innovation in this field is fantastic. It’s a place where it’s exceedingly difficult to create a product that blankets over a broad range of children because disorders like Autism act differently on every unique child. I’ve got friends in the field (who shall remain nameless ) that have helped me write this thread (it’s all my words, but we discussed it heavily) and they say the “Repeat” looks extremely promising! Go forth Jesse Resnick! Make this happen! Designer: Jesse Resnick

25 Homeopathic Years of Brita Posted: 13 Oct 2009 12:01 AM PDT Designer Julien Hadley had the task of branding a gesture marking 25 years of Brita water filters. Hadley chose the phrase “We’ve Got a Plan” to note Brita’s aim to promote a more sustainable approach to consumerism and how people use products. Environmental responsibility! Along with that is this lovely plant plan: “My-oan” - a platform that enables users to grow homeopathic plants on their own, in their own home. homeopathy |ˌhōmēˈäpəθē| ( Brit. homoeopathy) noun the treatment of disease by minute doses of natural substances that in a healthy person would produce symptoms of disease. In this case, the homeopathic plant being grown will help sustain the health of the person growing it. Helping something grow that helps you grow, that’s symbiosis. That’s Brita! Below you’ll see a front cover of a branding analysis report for Brita, an ad promoting the “We’ve Got a Plan” slogan and Brita’s 25 years, styling sketches for the My-oan product, and a glimpse of the product itself, all whipped up by Julien Hadley!
