| Posted: 21 Apr 2010 09:05 AM PDT I swear if any city builds street lamps like the LED Galaxy – I’m there. Designer Sungkuk Park has a well thought out idea here guys. Using advance LEDs, carbon fibers, reverberators, and bio-resin coatings, he’s created a street lamp that casts a carpet of lights, showering the streets with glittery specks like stars. Space enough of these bad boys apart and you could literally blanket an entire street with far less energy than traditional lamps. Twinkle Twinkle y’all! Designer: Sungkuk Park

| Posted: 21 Apr 2010 08:59 AM PDT Asthmatics should regularly monitor their airways to determine if there’s any deterioration, but checking in to see a doctor that frequently is time consuming so designer Felix (love that name) created Blue Flow. The system combines a peak flow monitor with mobile phone software. Information is wirelessly transmitted to the phone for your doctor to monitor. The information gathered can be used to determine the best course of action since the condition is finicky and changes based on a number of health and environmental variables. Designer: Felix Steinhardt

| Hey Everybody! It’s the iPad Pad! Posted: 21 Apr 2010 02:56 AM PDT You knew this was coming. Tired of “false input” when drawing on your new iPad? Neither am I but designer Johan Basberg sure is, so he designed “The Artist’s Pad” for Apple’s latest tech fetish. This very simple palm (no, not PALM) pad prevents “false input” from the hand when using the iPad. And as a bonus, this nifty rag doubles as a passive screen wiper. The iPad pad is machine washable, it contains wool and polyester (the inside) and is wrapped in 100% pure cotton. Still not enough? How about flipping it over to use for your left handed inspirations? That’s practically two iPad pads for the price of one! (Not to be used for blowing your nose, wiping up spills or taking notes. Some assembly required.) Designer: Johan Basberg

| Posted: 21 Apr 2010 01:31 AM PDT Lemme show you this bit of furniture that goes by the name “Nook.” It’s a stool object made by award winning dude designer Patrick Frey, who has chosen here to use a kind of high-tech plastic never before used in furniture design. This plastic is called VarioLine®, and it’s totally slick. Each stool is folded out of a single sheet of VarioLine® and fixed with an aluminum catch on the flip flop side. Weather proof, weird, wild, and comes in array of colors. That array of colors you only get to see a couple of below. That array of colors is as thus: black, grey, white, red, purple, and clay. Feel free to buy me one of whichever color you like, but remember, I’m a Minnesotan, born and raised, so you’d best be sure I’ve got a soft spot in my heart for the greatness of the most royal of all colors. Designer: Patrick Frey for VIAL

| Posted: 21 Apr 2010 01:13 AM PDT What a fool I was for not posting this yesterday! Now it’s 4/21 and I’m making a joke about marijuana. But in fact, it’s only a play on words. The project you’re about to take a peek at is called “Growing Up”, and in fact it is, truly, a growing pot. It is a pot that is adjustable for a growing plant, getting bigger as the plant it houses gets bigger, allowing for a longer stay for the plant, and less pots used. It’s just a wrap! That’s pretty smart stuff. Such a simple design. Concerned with the amount of different pots used while growing plants that have a tendency to outgrow their shells, designer JunBum Park conceived of this growing pot. With a flexible sheet exterior that fits into the grooves of the pot bottom, you’ll always be big enough. Designer: JunBum Park

| Posted: 21 Apr 2010 01:01 AM PDT Lost in the dark! That’s usually what happens when you get home from a long day of working, skateboarding, drinking, whatever! It’s dark outside, you wanna get into your house, but by golly if it isn’t the most difficult thing in the world to get that key aligned with the key hole in order to insert and turn! Here’s the key to this problem. The “V Lock.” It’s got a v. You put the key in the v. You open the door. Perfect. I think you’ll understand this concept in basically 0 seconds. It’s just that obvious. Props to designer Junjie Zhang for making the world a more intuitive place, one lock at a time. Designer: Junjie Zhang

| Design a LG Phone That’s Not Too Futuristic! Posted: 20 Apr 2010 09:00 AM PDT Update: only 6 days left now! LG, Autodesk, and crowdSPRING in the same breath can mean only one thing: Time to participate in LG's Design The Future Competition. This year there is a certain twist in the tale, so do you consider yourself a designer up for a real-world challenge? There is little room for speculation because you need to design a revolutionary mobile device that will appeal to the cellphone-generation of United States, 2-3 years down the line. Drawing up a long list of specs will get you nowhere, but illustrating an innovative new experience or story on a 1024 x 3072 pixels page can win you some real handsome booty. There's even a chance to have your design be made into a non-working mock-up by guest judge Russell Bobbitt, a world renowned movie prop master (Star Trek, Iron Man and Iron Man 2). Imagine seeing your mock-up in Bobbitt's next blockbuster film. How cool would that be?
Competition Details Eligibility: Any U.S. resident (citizen or green card holder) that is 18 years (or age of majority in state of residence) and older. Start and End Dates: The competition began on March 15, 2010, at 12 a.m. PST and ends on April 26, 2010, at 9:00 a.m. PST. Winners will be announced on May 14, 2010 at www.crowdspring.com/LG/winners. Prizes:
