| YouRail Design Contest – Visions of modern transportation by Bombardier Posted: 18 Dec 2009 05:40 AM PST UPDATE: Extended until January 4th, 2010. Is publishing your contents on online design communities or hosting your own portfolio site enough for creative satisfaction? Don't you want evaluation or recognition for your efforts? Much like how a post is done on YD, where we hear scores of you either trashing or praising a design, forcing the designers to re-think his strategy or go-ahead with his convictions. The Bombardier YouRail Design Contest by HYVE gives you instant feedback, allowing you to re-think your contribution or simply refining it. The contest is really simple, you only need to register, get inspired and submit your design ideas. The contest is about the creation of new and innovative interior designs for trains. Questions like how a modern train interior should look like and what kind of innovative features should be integrated need to be solved. It is irrelevant if participants have great experience in interior design or not, the contest is addressed to professionals, students, hobby designers and everyone who is interested into the topic. The designs can be submitted drawn freehand or computer generated, by using the configuration tool or just by explaining the interior idea. Participants may either design a seat upholstery with the configuration tool or freely create an interior design to the following three topics:
Like I mentioned to participate you need to simply join the community and submit your own vision for interior design in trains. Or you can create your own seat cover with the 3D – configuration tool. Anyway, you can discuss and evaluate the designs of the community and win great prizes: The members with the three best freely created designs amongst all three topics win cash prizes up to 2.000 Euros. The members with the three best configured designs also win cash prizes up to 600 Euros. Plus: The members with the 4th to the 10th best freely created designs win netbooks. Hurrah! The winning design will be built as a prototype and will be exposed on the InnoTrans 2010 in Berlin which is the leading trade fair in transportation. Besides, the designer of that winning design will be invited by Bombardier to visit the InnoTrans 2010. In addition, the most active member as well as the best freely created and configured designs according to the community evaluation are rewarded with a netbook, too. Finally, one idea will also win a netbook (and a signature book about Bombardier) by the "president's pick" where the jury select the most unconventional idea. The jury has an impressive line-up with high-level management and design experts – get to know them here. What is really impressive is that like our YD community, there is instant feedback and reaction to your designs by the community members. So participating in this contest really makes sense. You get evaluated not only by your contemporaries, but also by an elite panel of judges. Which other design competition can boast of this killer combo? To know more on the contest details hit here. The whole contest phase is being charged by the HYVE Innovation Community GmbH. HYVE is a German innovation agency dealing with customer integration into the product innovation process. Feel free to get all important information about HYVE on their website, or contact them directly.        |
| Future Of Delivery, Both Human And Cargo Posted: 18 Dec 2009 02:49 AM PST The year is 2038 and the mode of transport is the VW Breathe. Its functions are clearly defined: Quick light delivery service, Public transportation & Personal commuter. Area of commute is of course a metropolis city, and what's intriguing is that this fully GPS driven vehicle has two modes: human transporting and goods delivering.
Designer: Chansong Park The first animation explains about the functions of the Breathe concept, and how it works in detail. The second animation shows one of the potential illustrations of how the Breathe concept can be used in both commuter and delivery modes.     |
| Posted: 18 Dec 2009 01:49 AM PST What would you like to call this really neat cutlery? Nothing fancy about it, but simply a soup spoon with no handle, just two pig-nose-like holes (grunt!oink!) where you fit in wooden chopstick. The Chopsticks Plus One Project is more for the Asian market, where meals require different sets of cutlery to be used. It is a hybrid of chopsticks and spoon; however there is an ace up the sleeve with the Chopsticks Plus Two. It's a chopsticks & toothpicks combo! But Pick your teeth in private.

| Posted: 18 Dec 2009 01:00 AM PST We all know about water vapor, and its laws for condensation. Applying this law to the "Dew Drop", we have a device that is capable of extracting water from the air, condensing it and utilizing it for watering plants. All you need to do is insert the artificial leaf into the soil, plug it on and wait for stuff to happen! Designer: Jacky Wu     |
| Posted: 18 Dec 2009 12:15 AM PST This right here is called “Root Series No.3.” This right here? It’s a stump. It bridges time, space, and the unbridgeable link between human and nature-made.* It is literally a stump, forced to the surface 50 years after the death of the tree it supported. After surfacing, it was cleaned, polished to a sheen, and made ready to support it’s new charge. The business for it now? A lovely 10mm glass tabletop. *It’s like the Bigfoot of furniture. The glass is 10mm thick, toughened and clear, cut to slot over the upward facing root in the center. With the help of carbon fiber rod, it rests firmly on the five remaining root arms, ready for all of your books about ancient trees and the million year old oak forest and all that super stuff! You could also use this for cups of juice, whiskey glasses, or pie! Designer: Lloyd and Ed of Random House Studios     |
| Posted: 18 Dec 2009 12:15 AM PST Consider for a moment if you will, the shape of the world today. Think about what we humans have done to the world, think of all the concrete! If you’ve seen the specials on tv or read the book I’m thinking of, you know that once we leave earth, mother nature WILL take it back. But what about us? We’ve got to go on! And so! Yoo Jaechang has an idea for us. An idea in the form of a globe! This right here is mostly an experiment in form. It’s a lovely globe, constructed in 3D using a rapid-prototyping printer (you MUST look this up if you don’t know about the possibilities.) In the center is the main hub, along the rings in the inside are the buildings where everyone resides. Maybe a business globe? Maybe a residence globe? I’d put it in Star Wars episode 7. Reducing and re-administering the Death Star plans for the greater good of the galaxy. Designer: Yoo Jaechang     |
| Posted: 18 Dec 2009 12:01 AM PST Who loves single sheets of folded metal!? Everyone here should be raising their hand, because metal is awesome, and folding metal is amazing, and using one piece of metal where usually there’d be at least 3 or 4, well that’s just super. Designer Tobias Labarque folded the heck out of this metal right here and he made the TLF03ALU, a cantilever-type chair made of a single perforated aluminum plate. No joints, no connections, no welding. It’s totally stackable(!), and functions well for spilling your coffee all over it. It’s a structure for your lobby. I’m really pumped about lobby furniture lately it seems. I’d put everything in my lobby if I had one. Especially this chair. Labarque! You make a good lobby chair, I say so!
