| Stix n Stone May Break My Bones Posted: 01 Dec 2009 03:00 AM PST Ah, no one is breaking anything here, I simply wanted to say this aloud that's it. But here’s a reason why you'll love this 2-version jewelry called Stix & Stones; it has discreet magnets in place so that you can play with the design and create your own pendant. A different one every day! The Basic Necklace includes four magnetic spheres of silver and black nickel. The Full Necklace cord comes with six brushed stainless steel stix of assorted lengths, and six magnetic spheres of silver and black nickel. Take your pick! Designer: Brandon Perhacs [ Buy Basics | Full Stix & Stones Necklace ] Basics Stix & Stones Necklace is for $98 at the YD Store Full Stix & Stones Necklace is for $159 at the YD Store     |
| Posted: 01 Dec 2009 01:00 AM PST Zerokill are Solar Powered panels that are supposed to line the highway and help reduce animal road-kills during nighttime driving. It works in two ways: there are infrared sensors built into the body of Zerokill and when they detect an animal within the vicinity, they beam out subtle blinking LED lights, so as to warn the oncoming motorist. For the second part of the process, it reflects the oncoming car's headlights, illuminating the sideways, as a warning to the animals. Like they say forewarned is forearmed!

| Posted: 01 Dec 2009 12:58 AM PST The City Rain Concrete Glass is a labor of love, really! It's not only a scientific process of mixing the right amount of concrete (calculating the percentage of admixture), keeping the cement wet and painstakingly handcrafting the set. It's also nurturing each piece for almost a week, coz that's how long it takes to manufacture them. Now why would someone go through these labor pains, one may ask? It's so that you get the feel of "wet street and glass window", just for kicks! It's eyecandy as well!

| Posted: 01 Dec 2009 12:56 AM PST Instead of hiding messy wires, the Drawing Line concept encourages art with them. A mounted peg board (pegs included) over a wall socket provides a blank canvas to string and weave your own art. This could end up one of two ways. Some people may do some amazing things with it. They’re just better at pulling form and space out of unusual mediums. Other people will just end up mounting messy wires. Regardless, I think it’s an interesting idea taking what’s normally a hidden afterthought into a functional art piece. Designers: Jung Ji Hye & Choi Hyong Suk     |
| Fully Analog Cellphone Charging Posted: 01 Dec 2009 12:14 AM PST Just give this thang a spin! This is the “Mechanical Mobile” by Mikhail Stawsky. He’s made it super simple to just spin around down the street while you’re waiting for that call from Mother. Two different models offer two different methods for power generation. Either spin the entire thing around your finger, or crank, crank, crank the tip. Both will leave you gladly accepting incoming calls. The rest of the phone is all simple aesthetics and touch-screen technology. Nice enough to hold? Sure! Looks basically the same as the phone I have right now. Need to speak? Get those fingers exercising. Spin. or Crank. Choose your destiny! This reminds me of an episode of my favorite comedy show as a child, that being one about two brothers with the same name, bright red hair, and a tendency for the inane. In one episode, their father had outgrown the finger holes of his favorite bowling ball, and was left to do “sweating to the oldies” finger exercises just to roll. What would he think?

| Posted: 01 Dec 2009 12:10 AM PST This right here is one heck of a four seasons tent. It’s basically a one-person shell that protects the user against the elements she or he is camping in. U.V. radiation tries to check in, but it’s denied. Vapor absorption also is rendered into low air flow for effective total isolation. In the back of the shell is a storage area for 80 Its of gear. The tent itself is 3.8 kg. You CAN fit in there. It’s ALSO got three collapsable inner panels, zippers all alournd, and a nice yellow bee color. Easy fold up, easy fold down. Get camping in basically any condition. Project Credits: Tech Assistance: Roger Kahler, Bayer Material Science, Canada Designer: Alvaro Poblete Poulsen and Florencia Campos Correa     |
| Posted: 01 Dec 2009 12:05 AM PST Hang up lights to suit your mood simply by clipping on electro-luminescent sheets of paper to a hard-wire clip called the Pinch. Simple idea that leaves the door wide open for all kinds of interchangeable lighting options. I can envisage guest designers and artists contributing to the system to build one-of-a-kind lighting kits. I wish this weren’t just a concept. Designer: Shinyoung Ma     |
| How Feasible a DYO Desk Future? Posted: 01 Dec 2009 12:01 AM PST I say DYO instead of DYI because instead of this being based on doing it yourself, it’s more of a design it yourself sort of situation. This project is called “Xylem” and it begins on the computer. Benches and tiny tables is what we’re making here, the software called “Processing” is the design tool. Limits are in play, and play is what you’re allowed to do. Anything you make will be real-world safe, and all you’ve got to pay for is what you made. In play here are three mathematical principals that you whizzes will know more about than your humble narrator: the Convex Hull and the Voronoi Diagram for table shape, and the real physical simulator (the limits) to keep the object in the real world. Guaranteed border length of 15cm minimum, three phases of creative freedom: the top surface, the leg proportions, and materials and colors. Check out the video below for more visuals. Designer: Federico Weber     |
