| Posted: 24 Feb 2010 04:37 AM PST Breakfast in bed or at Tiffany's, it doesn't matter anymore because the adorable Downtown Breakfast Set is what me wants! The modular tray (conceals the lithium-ion battery within) elegantly carries a pad-based coffeemaker, milk foamer, and toaster and is meant to be placed just about anywhere. Question is, what about the ingredients like bread slices, preserves etc. Need to figure out how to make this handier that it already is. But I love this idea! Designer: studioMEM        |
| Lighting The Oceans With Wave Power Posted: 24 Feb 2010 01:22 AM PST The Wavelight concept coverts mechanical energy captured by ocean waves into electrical energy to illuminate a series of LED lamps. Each lamp is tethered to its neighbor with a weight anchored to the sea floor. The lights are designed to attract attention for rescue operations or to warn passing ships to steer clear. A very intriguing design but are LEDs powerful enough? What happens if the anchor isn’t long enough to reach the sea floor?

| Shopping That Leads To Recycling And Better Living Posted: 24 Feb 2010 01:15 AM PST Quick question: How many of us think about product life and recycling Before we buy any items? I belong to the group that said “I don’t”, and yes I am ashamed. Luckily for us Philips is developing a concept where product life, recycling methods, shopping environment and client needs are taken into consideration. Welcome to the Circle of Life, featuring a creative shopping environment that considers the product life cycle with recycling options….all before you make the purchase. Philips Design Explains:
For the moment there may not be much substance to this concept, but I’m sure since biggie Philips is involved here, we can expect this or something similar popping up in the future. Designer: Philips Design     |
| Posted: 24 Feb 2010 01:00 AM PST The notion of time slipping through our fingers is well represented by the sand timer, but how about light slipping through? This effect is captured by the Lime Light – Solar Fled Lamp and is well depicted by the tiny glass bulbs that refract light as they cascade down the hourglass and illuminate the room. The clock is ticking….glass balls fall through to the bottom half, and when they run out…the lamp switches off. Elegant and with a strong message to conserve. Time (light) is running out….

| Hydromagnificence on Two Wheels Posted: 24 Feb 2010 12:12 AM PST Welcome to one magnificent looking BMW concept bike. It’s white, it’s blue, it’s black, it’s beautiful, and it’s hydrogen powered. That’s for realzies. Executed by several students of the ISD of Valenciennes (France), made lovely by a vision for the ecological future of motorbikes. Technologies abound, the “BMW HP Kunst” employs a cryogenic hydrogen tank, battery Li-Po, electronical brakes and controls, and electromagnetic suspensions. These lovely designers position this bike in the HP range of BMW Motorrad, combining what they call the “player temperament” of the supermotard and the sportivity of a roadster. Asymmetry, dynamism, and one fantastic overall look. I’d do it. Technic : Designer: Arik Schwarz, Benoît Czyz, Charles Edouard Berche, and Vincent Montreuil     |
| Posted: 24 Feb 2010 12:03 AM PST Not so much to keep the flower upright, but to keep it alive! It is two in one. It is the most basic brilliance, the most simplistic, smart design – two of hearts, two hearts that beat as one! In this case, two bits of pottery, made one. Instead of there being a pot with a hole or holes below it being held by a saucer that would hold water, it’s both of those things in one piece! Take a peek and drip a little dribble. Just pour, step back, and appreciate. That’s how simple it is to use this new fabulousness. A large amount of water can be held by this new pot cuff, water that can then be absorbed at any rate the plant chooses through its roots. That’s how nature works! Very nice.

| Posted: 24 Feb 2010 12:02 AM PST How many showers do you know that’r self-sufficient? None! Except what, what is this? A shower that powers itself! It’s called the “Eco Shower,” designed by Paul Frigout, and it’s rather steppy. Steppy, you’ve got to move your feet to make it work. As you step, you generate the power you need to make the water go woosh! As water flows through a turbine in the showerhead, electricity is produced, energy that’s used then to heat the water. Then there’s the blocks… The blocks that make up the floor of the shower depress as the user stands upon them. As each block is depressed, a metallic cylinder appears through the center. As that cylinder arrives, the foot reacts, making you kind of do a dance, lifting and lowering your feet, pressure pumps water to the showerhead. The shower does not use ceramic, as ceramic is evil and cannot be recycled – instead, Ice Stone is used, a product made of recycled glass, concrete, and steel. Designer: Paul Frigout     |
