| Skipper Don’t Forget The Rewave Posted: 29 Oct 2009 04:18 AM PDT Rewave is essentially a design using Reverse Osmosis for desalinating the sea water. More for private consumption in coastal regions where fresh water is scarce or at-sea disaster situations, the Rewave is quite self-sufficient. It floats in water and harnesses the energy from the waves to power itself. Since a great amount of pressure is required for RO, the aperture has been placed at the bottom of body, allowing the seawater to get through to the motor area. After desalinating, the fresh water accumulates at the top and comes out via a pipe. The only caution needed to be taken with Rewave is that the filters get worn out and need to be changed frequently. When the filters discolor, you know it's time to change them! Bright side, the filters are made from recycled materials. Designer: Yu-Hong Chen        |
| Star In Your Own 3 D Shower Movie Posted: 29 Oct 2009 03:18 AM PDT The Waterdrop Shower Room brings to life the childhood fantasies of role-playing while taking a bath. Sometimes you're a beastly pirate and sometimes a brave hero rescuing your ducks. This exciting enclosure comes with a tactile touchscreen that almost envelopes you. Its giant screen happily plays for you soothing melodies of the Chinese Opera to Nemo (although I reckon the big guys will opt for something more seductive!) and transports you to fantasy land! The enclosure is actually a two-part thing; with the upper section rising up and lower section sliding and rotating to give easy access to the showers. Features include a powerful tactile touch screen that controls the video, music, showers, jet intensities and temperatures. Designer: Wu Chenghou     |
| Posted: 29 Oct 2009 02:08 AM PDT Merry go round the buttons I tell ya! Dang the button area around your starched shirt is tough to crease-out. Some irons do have indents on the side, allowing you to kinda skim around the sweet spot, but it ain't got a Full U like the "U-Button Iron". Hit the special button the iron and voilà! The tip retracts to reveal a U that slides under the button to give you a fully ironed shirt. Designers: Jun-kyo Lee & Jin-young Yoon     |
| Posted: 29 Oct 2009 12:01 AM PDT They need luxurious napkin holders. And of course, as always, Yanko Design comes through for you on that. The “Lecygne” is designed to complete the triad- luxurious dresses, luxurious people, and luxurious napkin holders. This napkin holder holds the napkin the way a lover holds their mate, becoming one with the napkin, embracing it. Made of pure beautiful silver, perfect and graceful. The design of this sculpturistic object is partly inspired by the natural beauty of a swan. The aesthetics compliment the napkin as well as hold it. Pretty fabulous, yes? Looks like Kim Katinis had been painting epic oil paintings one after another, and suddenly decided to throw some metalworking in there to stay sharp. Lovely! Designer: Kim Katinis     |
| Not Your Everyday Satanic Shelf Posted: 29 Oct 2009 12:01 AM PDT Ever wonder what real impact organized religion has had on furniture design? Me too! I wonder that every day! Designer Guy Keulemans wonders that, and he’s doing something about it! Researching the ethnography of online atheist groups in addition to a historical analysis of the influence of religion on aesthetics, he set out to create a bit of furniture that inverts aesthetic function. *NOTE: Atheism is NOT Satanic. In fact, the dictionary definition of atheism is “the theory or belief that (a) God does not exist.” In this strange piece, there are shelves hidden in the back of shelves. These shelves become secrets that are left to be discovered.
Cool, yes? Some statistics to cool your heels on, too! The chest is made of sustainably harvested bamboo. Dovetail joinery to do away with the need for nails or screws, with very little need for glue. Four industrial strength spherical castors underneath for ease of movement. Drawer cases tiny to allow lots of room for the shelves in back: 1.5 millimeters around each. Made possible by “a novel rail and groove system whose polymers also produce frictionless drawer opening.” For those of you who seek the truth, whatever that may be. Designer: Guy Keulemans     |
| Crazy Cutlery With Identity Crisis Posted: 29 Oct 2009 12:00 AM PDT Does the Chopork have an identity crisis? Like would you classify it as a fork or a chopstick or both? Nah! I wouldn't bother much about the functionality of two sticks turning from a fork to chopsticks. I'd be worried about branding it as Chopork; sounds more like chop-the-pork! Got any better name suggestions? Designer: Yoonsang Kim     |
