| Simple Smile Can Set Things Right Posted: 04 Oct 2010 05:31 AM PDT  "Simply use the emotional expression to remind and educate users to turn off the light." This one line says it all….moreover the cute switches create the desired impact of reminding us to conserve. I guess this is another angle to Product Design: to be instinctive without being preachy! The Smile Switches won a Liteon Award this year. Designers: Zhou Yide, Euphe Mo, Hang Zhou & Christine Liu

The idea behind the Shore Tub is to give you a complete spa experience, with massages and jets of water giving you the complete service. What makes the tub different from the herd is its unique elevation system. One end of it simply spills onto the floor so that people with restrictive movements need not "climb out", but walk out of it. I'm sure it will help in avoiding nasty slips and falls! Plus the workings look do-able as well. Designer: HeyTeam Collective with Teuco

It’s a digital timepiece that “celebrates the magical properties of fused fibre optics.” I couldn’t have said it more wonderful myself. The watch has its top glass (Sapphire crystal) replaced by fused fibre optic with 12 facets, each of the 12 representing one hour of the day. When turned off, the watch becomes a unique fashion accessory with a black gem (the optic) at the helm. When the watch is on, a pattern is projected to the top surface of the fibre optic, only fully visible from the very top. Tiny sections of the output are visible from the sides, making the entire watch like a fantastically classy kaleidoscope. Wear this everywhere, at all times, except I’m not sure if it’s waterproof or not so probably not on your boating trips. But everywhere else, wear this out. You’ll get all the looks. Classic, futuristic, fabulous. Designer: Carson Leong

Put a kid in any situation and you’ve got a complete emergency 100% of the time. So what do you need to do? You need to give that kid a toy. And since your entire life is an emergency because you’ve got a kid, you need an Emergency Toy. This is the “E-Toy” and it’s made for parents who are traveling with their small children on trains, buses or planes where only the hand luggage is allowed. The Emergency Toy is made active by blowing it up like a balloon. Use it like a doll or use it like a pillow. The E-Toy comes with a tiny little case you can put it in when you’re not on the train, and when you get home, wash it up in the wash machine because it’s made of PVC/PU Coated Bag Fabrics that are also totally long lasting. E-Toy is made for kids ages 2 to 5, comes in various colors and lots of fun animal shapes. Designer: Ondřej Václavík

They’re known as “Bell Light” and they’ve got lampshades that can be changed back and forth between lamps, one each of copper, steel, and textile. Each of them is changeable to influence the atmosphere, temperature, and color of the light. Use them in many fabulous ways – this luminaire is inspired by spotlights and reflectors and looks swell hung from the ceiling or propped up on a stand like what’s shown in the gallery below. Especially nice if you’ve got a need for special directed light. Bell Light is shaped in a universally industrial fashion. Professional, simple, easy to use and implement in many environments. Especially if you want to make your home studio look like a home studio! Designer: Sebastian Herkner
