All Up In A Cell Posted: 31 Dec 2009 12:01 AM PST Concept cars is what everybody needs in the future. You bet. This right here is a futuristic vision of the Audi cell car set up on independent axles and center turning drive shafts. All of the insides hidden in a fabulously eye-meltingly nice carbon body. Transport you and you loved ones around in style and safety. It’s a must. You think Audi’d market this fabulous auto? Electric motors inside the wheels, L:4220mm, W:1980mm, H:1350mm. Airflow around the wheel body work and axle engineered to create high downforce, aerodynamic shapes for a more fluent drive. Made of a combination of recyclable polymer materials and “progressive strong carbon fiver surfaces according to F1 construction.” Kamera system monitors situation around the vehicle and notifies the passengers accordingly. And a fantastic kinetic energy recovery system. That’s what’s up. Designer: David Polášek

Pratt Takes a Seat at IMM Cologne Posted: 30 Dec 2009 12:02 AM PST Tips of the hat to Pratt! Getting a bunch of chairs into this renowned design fair is a big deal! Pratt is partnering with Folkwang Academy to exhibit chair designs at imm cologne! Cologne Germany will be glad to host this exhibition entitled “Take A Seat,” to take place January 19-24 2010. Here we’ve got a lovely preview of the pieces! Check em all out, then inspect them at the fair! See you in Germany! Designer: Pratt Industrial Design Students Michael Chuapoco, SRR Lounge Chair The energy of balance and movement tied with rest and support. Sitting, reclining, rocking, and balancing. Binh Dang, Folding Chair Hospitality inside the context of a compact urban living space. Made of red oak and brass hardware. Evan Dewhirst, The Buoy Chair Green manufacturing and an iconic form. A buoy! Made of a turned cork seat, a spun aluminum collar, and an inflatable buoy. Sara Ebert, Salvation Stool This lovely thang uses discarded and unwanted wool sweaters as upholstery covers. Felting used to cut material without the yarn unraveling. Core made of plywood and urethane foam. Ingrid Fetell, Amino Kid's Chair Inspired by the movements of fanciful little kiddies! “Joyfully, experimentally, and freely.” Based on the tensile balance of highly elastic materials and inelastic ones (bungee cords and nylon panels.) Christina Fesmire, Fugle Swing Made of renewed maple veneer. Asks the question “is adulthood joyful?” Seat made after weeks of anatomical study of the human tailbone. Walnut inlay, hemp rope suspensions. Tawny Hixson, Ari Chair Fabricated from steel and raw cowhide. Designed as part of Pratt’s Danish Institute for Study Abroad in Copenhagen. Michael Roopenian, Corner Chair Made of laminated poplar. Takes advantage of structural properties of the corner. Physics, man, physics. Thomas Stern, Line A subtle re-interpreitation of the structural language of chairs. Designed as part of Pratt’s Danish Institute for Study Abroad in Copenhagen. Chairy!

Refillable CMYK Spraycans Posted: 30 Dec 2009 12:02 AM PST If you’re familiar with graffiti, you might have stood up close to a giant spraypaint masterpiece. Out in nature, right there in the scene of the “crime,” you’d see the real shame: the cans. Often when a painting is executed, the only way a street artist can escape scott-free is to leave their quickly emptied, no-good cans at the scene! Well, no more! Noone in their right mind would abandon a reusable can like this! This design is called “Color Dial Spray.” Designed by some magnificent geniuses with a longer-lasting environment on their minds, this can has re-fillable paint containers and a super-amazing color-choosing set of dials. Yes! Select both hue and brightness, spray away, and don’t forget your large bottles of paint refill for long day of super spray! Yes really! It’s a can on which you can turn dials to select the color you’d like to spray. Probably not for the most giant street canvases in the world, but certainly fantastic for artists the world over. Designer: Kim, Young-suk, Oh, jin-ho, Lee, yong, Kim, woo-sik

Furniture Made to Grow Posted: 29 Dec 2009 12:47 AM PST Inspired in part by the classic game “Jenga,” this furniture bit is made to be a seat for a toddler, a bigger chair for a kid growing up, and a multitude of helpful bits for life! Working with both simple birch plywood pieces and a large stainless steel structure for strength and growth. Is it a seat, or is it a bunch o’ shelves? It’s both! Your piece of “Zen,” as this amalgamation is called, grows with you. As you get a larger place to live, need larger items in your home, so too do you get a larger Zen. You know who I bet would love this? Teachers. Size: 540 x 640 x 1620(h) Materials: Birch plywood, stainless steel Designer: Jung Jae Yup

Sheets and Sheets Posted: 29 Dec 2009 12:01 AM PST How many times a day do you look at your wash basin and think, gosh! It’d be super great if I could’ve gotten a lot nicer and more environmentally-sound wash basin up in here! How much do you want a basin based on sheets? Sheets are the future. This particular basin, designed by Sokolova Ekateryna and titled “Aqua Vita”, is just the basin you might very well need. Elegant and light on the eyes. The form of this lovely object is based on the so called “natural desire” of the water to form a whirlpool shape, flowing down freely from the point of access at the top. How fancy! Designer: Sokolova Ekateryna
