| Book Journals My Shrinking Waistline Posted: 03 Jun 2010 09:02 AM PDT  To lose weight you must decrease caloric intake and increase physical activity. Simple equation but damn hard to follow. Motivation is the all important and invisible variable and very few products on the market address it. Workbook 001, the Food & Fitness Diary flip book logs 26 weeks of nutrition and exercise. Following every two weeks you measure yourself and by the end of the year, even Kate Moss will envy you. Don’t believe me? Just flip thru the book and watch that shrinking waistline. Available at your local Amazon for $10. ISBN: 1451582498 About New Text Studio Designer: New Text Studio

The top surface of the grill is split into more than a hundred individual surfaces that completely envelope food. This provides a fuller grilling experience from all sides. The cool thing is each unit only turns on when it senses food thereby saving energy (sic). Interesting concept. DO WANT! Designer: Roberto Bertran

From the outlandish Etirement lamp to the sophisticated elegance of the d°light Bubbles, all it takes is a little knack of picking out the best. The Cell Lamps here, easily fall into the "cute idea" category. Bunch-up a couple of them, just like the leaves of a tree, and see how awesome they look together. As a single piece, they give a healthy competition to the Soap Light. Designer: Jun-bum Park

| Pressing Out The Bacteria And Grime Posted: 03 Jun 2010 04:49 AM PDT  Lupe is this innovative iron which can cut down the 3 steps of doing laundry into 1. The 3 steps being: washing, drying and ironing. Swipe it over that blob of dirt on your favorite Tee, and watch it dry-clean, sanitize and iron it at, all at once. Am I being to futuristic about this? No ways! I think if appliances like this are made available, then Carrie Bradshaw and her single friends will have no issues with doing the dirty laundry! What I really dig about the Lupe is its translucent body that magnifies dust & bacteria and other impurities. It goes from myriad shades of color to colorless once the stains are removed and the garment ironed and ready. A superb concept that is a part of the 2010 Electrolux Design Lab Completion! Side-note: did you participate? Designer: Il-seop So

When you want to show the world that you’d like to make PEACE with it, you’re going to need the “Pre-Handshake Handshake Device” by Dominic Wilcox. This handshake device is a made, one of a kind device that’s already been on display during the 2010 New York ICFF, now even photographs of it are flying off shelves. It must be a good idea. Made of rubber, glass, metal, wheels, and classiness, this might be the missing step we’ve been looking for. Us, a warring world from the start, us, an ever-arguing species of human beings.

| Posted: 03 Jun 2010 12:10 AM PDT  Welcome to the future of aviation, if flying cars don’t have their way first. Marty! Where you at? Designers of this project tell of this new class of airplane that’s taking the private world of aviation by storm, that being the LSA “Light Sport Aircraft.” This class is between existing microlight and private pilot classes, and aims to make it easier and cheaper to get your smooth flying butt in the air! I want you to take a good long look at the first image in this gallery. It’s totally fun. Also totally absurd. Always wear a helmet when traveling in any sort of high-speed airplane automotive, especially if it looks like it’s tearing through barriers in time and space like this one is. Now, the LSA class is small, and this “EQP2 Excusion” is one of less than 10 models anywhere near reality today. I’m sure it’s exciting for some, especially those who already rock the skies. For me, it seems TERRIFYING. I’m keeping my need for speed attached to the ground. As it stands now, the designers of this project have built a full scale mockup of the interior as well as a 1:4 scale model of the plane for exhibitions and testing. Their goal is to have a prototype flying in 2013. Seats: 2 Wingspan: 9m Designers: Oyvind Roar Berven and Tomas Brodreskift

| Posted: 03 Jun 2010 12:03 AM PDT  Designers at 24° Studio were given a task to create a structure for a pretty specific area of wetlands, a structure that not only provided passage through and safe space for people to enjoy, but one that did not present a danger to the wetlands now or in the future. The area: wetlands along Old Pacific Highway 101 in San Diego California. The solution: Cut Back Hills. What this whole lovely structure consists of is 522716 sq. ft of wood, basically. The main function of this structure is to provide a really fabulous bridge from the parking lot above to the water below for people to walk upon, enjoying the wetlands from many excellent vantage points as they go. Walking OR rolling, I should say, as there are stairs at the end down to the water or an ADA compliant ramp for wheelchair use. The entire structure follows a hard-packed path already in existence so as to minimize the impact to the area. There’s new parking spaces at the top, observation areas at the top and all the way down the whole structure, decks, curls, and an overall amazing collection of views throughout. This is going to be one amazing place to chill out on a nice afternoon. *BONUS NOTE: Cutback is also a surfer term, just so you know, all of ye waterloving fellows and ladies. Walk down the wood from the parking lot and look around, but don’t forget your board at the top. Designers: Fumio Hirakawa and Marina Topunova of 24° Studio

One side is rough, the other smooth. Who knew? Would any of you use this? Designers: Yitu wang & Joy Zhang
