| Posted: 22 Feb 2010 01:44 AM PST Most often designers produce encores, totally diminishing the meaning of exclusive and limited editions. This Table Will Self Destruct is a series of tables that are so unique and will not go into second productions. The top of the table is structured as a grid of concrete pixels, so with each new piece one pixel is removed from the design, thus following the rules of self-destruction! Mass production and handmade craftsmanship are both addressed with this design…it will be in production until the shape is no longer practical. Total pixels removed: 33 Designers: Donna Piacenza & Jody Work [ Buy it Here, This Table Will Self Destruct ($980) is available @ YD Store ] This Table Will Self Destruct ($980) is available at @ YD Store        |
| Posted: 22 Feb 2010 01:43 AM PST The unique part of the PLAY MP3 Player is the way it works. It functions by either folding or sliding. To play the music, fold the player into half to form the icon ” ▶”. To rewind the music, slide one of pieces to make icon ” ▶▶”. To stop the music, unfold the play triangle to a square or ” ■ “. PLAY MP3 Player most definitely adds a new dimension in MP3 designs! What do you think? Designers: Jun Pyo Kim, Keun Sol Kim, Sung Mi Kang & Joo Hee Park     |
| Posted: 22 Feb 2010 01:23 AM PST The Green Cuisine takes inspiration from the Japanese Teppanyaki steakhouse style of cooking and serving. Hosts and guest get comfy in the cooking area where preparation and consumption form the part of the eco-routine. Food is cooked in appliances like the Healthy Steamer, Smart Kettle & Cups, and Cooking Modules, that work together on an interactive Kitchen Table. The integrated performance indicator monitors and displays energy consumption, giving you a fair idea of how Green you have been! The bottom line: with this futuristic kitchen you can reduce energy consumption and optimize waste management. Philips will dish out the details on questions like “How will this work?”, much later!

It will merely help him catch all the cobwebs and dust from his quarters in the Gryffindor dorm. Now that the House Elves like Dobby have Hermione's support… it's the Eiffel Broom, as the next gift for Harry and Ron! Designers: Min Seok Song & Jung Gi Seo     |
| Not a Tiny Airplane – On the Ground Posted: 22 Feb 2010 12:02 AM PST Let me explain first the title: a single-engine Cessna is a type of small airplane, while this project is called “VESNA”, and is an auto that stays flat on the ground. But it’s fantastic! The Vesna is a single-seat electric car. The body of this car is made entirely of a single piece of natural resin with built-in wiring. How wild is that? The wheels in the front go round and round. They also take the form of a reinforced, perforated rubber belt affixed to the electric motor. They also have an offset center of rotation. And they work with MAGNETS! The motor is non-synchronous and runs on direct current with high-powered permanent magnets. The motor works with a geared cylinder with teeth matching apertures in the belt tire. Regenerative breaking x mechanical breaking. Steering via “edistribution of torque and braking on the leading wheels, depending on how the steering wheel is turned.” The rear wheel is even more wild. Even more. The rear wheel? It’s a reinforced-rubber sphere. Fastened to a suspension clip that’s got four pedals, each of which contains a roller for free rotation of the sphere. Breaks and assisted steering work on this as well, as each clip is also connected to the main electrical system. Refueling of this amazing machine happens via the network of wires that, when the vehicle is parked on it’s special “electro-floor”, connect to a working electric channel which connects to sockets that you can plug in using your regular electric plugs. So simpo! Designer: Kristina Magnitskaya     |
| Posted: 22 Feb 2010 12:01 AM PST I don’t know anyone who intentionally LOVES doing the laundry in their life, be it for their self or for their loved ones, and goodness forbid they enjoy doing it for an employer of theirs. But there it is. Laundry. And it has to be done! The designer of the subject matter contained in this post: the “Laundring” laundry machine, has some information of rather more important than just -having to do it- concern, and thus says that’ll be taken care of by this lovely concoction! Yes indeed, designer Shang-Che Wu relays information that renters in the area Wu designs who share washing machines with strangers are worried about the bacteria that flies around inside of the machine may cause infections through underwear. But. They simply do not have time to use the next best alternative means: hand washing. Then came Laundring! This amalgamation uses pedals to drive a coaxial bi-directional rotating machanism that generates high cleaning two-way flow to clean all dirty laundries. It saves time, strength, and energy that’d normally be used by hand-washing, not to mention irritated hands and the dreaded wrinkle-fingers. And! And! It could be used by renters in no-machine areas to avoid the laundromat down the street. Unless of course they’re into that sort of thing. Designer: Shang-Che Wu     |
