For his collaboration with KDDI iida, Tokujin Yoshioka settles for the inner beauty theme while designing the phone. Tech chips and electronic parts are aesthetically arranged internally and a cleverly positioned display, under the transparent skin, brings out the true meaning of “designing from inside.” Designer: Tokujin Yoshioka

The idea is for cold coffee mix but I think we can use it for hot cappuccino mixes as well. You simply open up the top end of the coffee mixture pouch, pour the contents into water and use the same pouch as a straw for stirring & sipping the drink! Simple and totally worth commercializing! Designer: Youngdo Kim

Wouldn't it be great if our sink got intelligent enough and cleaned up the mess automatically? Ah, the pleasures of the concept world peppered with practical solutions! Here's the Pure Washer – Eco Automatic Sink that does just this. It's a sink that is divided into two rotatable parts, where in one part you put in the dishes, and it rotates away under the counter to wash them. The other part is a mirror image to the first and is ready to take in your next cycle. Besides being a space-saving idea, the washing technique is eco-sensitive as well; it functions using only the minimal resources required, based on the space occupied by the dishes in the chamber. There is a cycle for washing fruits and vegetables included as well. What a perfect sink! Designer: AHHA Project

Most of than not, the assumption is that we are going to run through doors. But in user-situation, it could be a physically-challenged person, a child or even a person crawling up to the door, who may find the horizontal door bar difficult to reach. Thus this vertical, elongated handle serves as a fitting re-design. Designer: Chen Guan-Yuan

It’s named after its discoverer August Ferdinand Möbius who basically found it super interesting because it was forever three dimensional. The vehicle you’re about to glance upon is the Mobius as well, this one designed by Tommaso Gecchelin who aims to merge aesthetic suggestions of both math and geometry into one harmonious shape. The insides of this car are wild as the out, as it employs blind-spot avoiding technologies such as flexible OLED screens, head-tracking cams, and HD external cams to unify the person driving the car with the environment the car is driving in. Super shiny. Should take a long while to clean if you drive through the mud! Then again, I’m sure you’ll only drive on gold-paved streets with this beautiful angel. Designer: Tommaso Gecchelin

You can use your own wood or choose from a selection of bamboo boards also available from Bloomming. It’s ecologically responsible! They’ve got so much bamboo for you! Natural Density, Natural Sidepressed, Caramel Density, Caramel Sidepressed, Caramel Plainpressed, and Sidepressed Thermo. All you could ever want! Change your table top for each day of the week, new guests, or seasons of the year. All carried nice by Grip. Designer: Bas van Leeuwen & Mireille Meijs for Bloomming

| Posted: 18 Oct 2010 12:03 AM PDT  Apparently this super fabulous fuel situation known as Biodiesel is the miracle source of energy. Designer Ben Guthrie informs us that Biodiesel “is a renewable resource, completely biodegradable, non-toxic, cheap to make, and ingredients are readily available, often for free as by-products of other processes.” What Guthrie would like to do, spread the love of Biodiesel, is a very noble thing, as Biodiesel is not (yet) a widespread process. What Guthrie would like to do is offer the world the convenience of making their own Biodiesel at home, in a safe and easy manner, with a fabulous looking pump! According to Guthrie’s research, the personal Biodiesel processors on the market now are very expensive, not very user friendly, and on the whole, sort of suck. DIY methods are available online, but as you’ll see from an example in the gallery below, can get really messy really quick. Yuck. Nasty. Sticky goo. The machine Guthrie presents here uses a process in which you pour the ingredients needed into the top, and poof! Gas! Automated pumps, heating elements, and thermostats do all the work. A simple-to-read display shows the user what’s going on inside the box, and a pull-out tank collects the waste, which is glycerin, which can be disposed of or turned into bars of your favorite kind of Fight Club soap! The process is non-toxic and requires only an electrical source and a water line to operate. Designer: Ben Guthrie
