| The Reincarnation Of Home Appliances Posted: 27 Jul 2010 07:51 AM PDT  Mutant Life is a interesting project that explores the lifespan of common home appliances. It suggests we could create a system of products that take on different uses after their primary function has expired . From a technical aspect, all electrical parts are designed to be disassembled and recycled. For example, what if an oven became a microwave only to be come a table and finally a birdhouse?

Make those ugly moments in life a little better with humor. Dog Poo bags comes in 16 recyclable options, each with a humorous or ironic print. Love the idea but why not step it up and go for biodegradable too? Get it from Designspray.com. 12,90 € for 16 bags. Designer: Jungeschachtel

| Posted: 27 Jul 2010 05:12 AM PDT  Moshi is a multipurpose kitchenette that includes the induction cooking hub, dish washer, sink, fridge and washing machine in one structure. The entire gamut of appliances is controlled via an interactive touchscreen pad. Designed for apartments that lack space and yet want to host all the comforts of a luxury home, the Moshi targets the young and the restless! From time-marking groceries to recipe cards, and ingredient status of the fridge-contents, all can be controlled and accessed via the pad. So typically for the gadget-savvy!

One, it's got a form that is more accommodating for the follow-up wire than Jiang's version and two; it compares the lineup to male-female "coupling"! We get the naughty point, but in all honesty, going by the discussion in the earlier post, issues like unplugging a device in the middle of the ports and power current are still not resolved. However, bending wires over for a snug fit, is taken care of. The Tandem USB Connector has won an iF Concept Design Award 2010 Designers: Yi Fan Lin & Hong Yih Chu

Well check this thing out – it’ll keep you organized. It’s the “Index Chopping Board” from Joseph Joesph. It’s not just one board, nay! It’s several. Each board is placed in the holding tray with its own tab sticking up making it simple for you to take the one you need for the item you need to cleave! Available in knives or non-knives! There’s the “Index Chopping Board” which is the model with just the boards, then there’s the “Index Plus Chopping Board” which includes a knife each per board. Color coded, too! Designer: Joseph Joesph [Buy Them Here, Index Chopping Board and Chopping Board Plus are available for $65.00 and $80.00 @ YD Store]

| Posted: 27 Jul 2010 12:03 AM PDT  Of all the things I guessed I’d be writing about today here at Yanko Design, human-made human flesh wasn’t one of them. This is wild, this is wonderful! You know me as a proponent of progress, even unto the weirdest of futures, and this is one of them! Grown from a tissue culture taken from the patient, the architecture of this “Epidermic Hyperplasia” mimics the natural processes of the “human envelope.” Excellent way to say SKIN, I must say. Epidermic Hyperplasia is a “semi-living” structure made of human skin cells and a polyglycolic acid (PGA) scaffolding. PGA scaffolding is a bio-degradable plastic which provides the necessary nutrients required to grow the skin. As the skin grows, the PGA is consumed completely. Epidermic Hyperplasia grows in a way similar enough to skin that it acts as a semi-living machine lasting the rest of the life of the patient. Creepy! Awesome!

And when you do, you want not only a beautiful interior and exterior, not only do you want a fabulously running car, you want it to say something! I don’t mean like knightrider, no, I mean you want it to be an expression of who YOU are. This is the Bentley “Jeckyll and Hyde.” Be you evil? Be you nice? Be you a monster? Be you a professor of speed? Designer Bora Kim didn’t just want one car. Thustly, there are two. This Jeckyll and Hyde concept goes along the lines of what Kim predicts will be the next wave of high-class cars – “Eco Luxury.” That being conscious of how what you’re purchasing is effecting the environment you’re going to drive it in. It’s just smart, yes? The Jeckyll and Hyde differentiates itself from the eco-car movement a slight bit because it is meant to be “luxury.” Thus it aims to combine Art and Philosophy. This is meant to come out in the aesthetics of the car. The waves, the whooshes, the loveliness. The car’s working bits! They are this: power generated from solar, wind, and electric sources. A moving surface which, like a sunflower, aims itself toward the largest sunlight source. When wind power is easier to access, it turns to that. The technology isn’t quite all there yet, but the idea in this concept is to change the minds of those with the cash first. Investing in technological breakthroughs in ecological safety methods is the new black. Investing in intelligence, not size and material. Be you a lover of the darkness or of the light, all your green functions are yours to ride with. Both Jeckyl AND Hyde save the world with their wind power generators and flexible solar panels, for they are one, and when the root of all evil (cash money) is turned into planet-helping functions, the good shines through. Designer: Bora Kim
