| In Case Of Emergency Cut Toothpaste! Posted: 05 Nov 2010 01:15 AM PDT  I thought I was being a miser, but in all honesty I cut open the end of my toothpaste tube to get to the last wee bit of paste. Call it conservation or being stingy but that's what I do. So I totally identify with the Thrift Toothpaste package design and hope someone like Colagte or Crest adopt it! It will save me the trouble of hunting for scissors…I'll just tear open the rear end! Designer: GUO Lili

It glides back to the top, to cover the wet-dripping umbrella, making it easy for you to carry it indoors. Simple and effective! Designers: Jisun Park and Nankyung Kim

| Disadvantaged Little Tyke Can Swim! Posted: 05 Nov 2010 01:00 AM PDT  It's quite a heart breaking sight to watch wheelchair bound children not taking advantage of the swimming pool due to their limitations. The Little Mermaid is a floatation aid that is aimed at such children. It comes fitted with a hand-wheel that helps the child to navigate across the pool independently. So besides some hand exercise, the child can enjoy waddling in the water! Sweet! Designers: Soyeon Park, Taeyeong Park & Hyeonjee Lee

| Single Airline Terminal of the Future Posted: 05 Nov 2010 12:10 AM PDT  Welcome to Airbaltic Terminal potentially the future Riga International Airport, Latvia. Herein lies a lovely structure. The terminal in the center of this lovely airport is a simple 20m x 20m structural model. The roof of this terminal is a made up of 18 parallel portal shapes, each of them extruding along a curve creating “an undulating wave composition” with no parallel. The modules on the North and South edges of the building extend beyond the main terminal envelope creating terminal piers supporting gates to Schengen or Non-Schengen flights respectively. From there, it becomes very technical. The movement of passengers between landside and airside is the main subject here, both the solution and the problem as far as these designers consider it as far as airports go. To turn away from the traditional massive amounts of hallways, corridors, and shopping area, these designers aim straight for the portals. Turn the airport into what it aught to have always been: “a conduit for air travel,” and you’ve got your winner. In laymen’s terms, this is a lovely little airport. Its exquisite nature is easy to see through anyone’s eyes, but this particular project has also been shortlisted by some professional eyes. An International competition for an Airbaltic passenger terminal in Riga, Latvia has selected this project as 1 of 10 finalists out of a 125 projects submitted. You know what that means? This might be a real deal airport someday, and someday soon! Check out the creative team, check out their Zerafa Architecture Studio internet site, and give them a high five if you ever meet them. Design Team: Jason Zerafa, Joaquin Boldrini, Katherine Moya. Designer: Zerafa Architecture Studio

| Posted: 05 Nov 2010 12:03 AM PDT  This right here is The Jamaica Blue Mountain® cup designed by none other than Santos Bregaña of Atelier Laia. The folks at Atelier Laia are known for their world-famous fantastical cups and dishes and dinnerware, so you know when you get that name in your sights, you’re about to see some quality. What this “perfect cup” consists of is a set of the most perfect characteristics possible for the drinking of Jamaica Blue Mountian coffee. In the past, coffee cups were made so that they’d work well with any sort of coffee that was put in them. Now that has changed. Here it is, a coffee cup with a specific coffee in mind. First, the bottom: a perfect parabola. This shape is made specifically in order to avoid the breakage of the delicate Jamaica Blue Mountain crema. Second, the cupola (the cover.) In order to preserve the delightful odor given off by the more than 800 compounds responsible for coffee aroma, and also to preserve the perfect temperature for drinking, the cupola covers. Next, the wall thickness of this cup gradually tapers. At the bottom, thickness to keep the ideal temperature for the liquid, at the top thinness to maximize the lip contact area with the coffee itself. Several people were involved in creating this cup: General Director of the Jamaica Coffee Industry Board: Mr. Christopher Gentles Designer: Santos Bregaña of Atelier Laia

| This Bookshelve’s Back is Bent Posted: 05 Nov 2010 12:03 AM PDT  This bookcase looks just like the inside of your back. There’s a bunch of bones in there, and that’s what this is aimed at looking like. It combines with the surrounding environment by casting shadows it extends horizontally by employing its lovely sliding elements. Balance, dynamism, and movement can be found in this beast through the circular attachment plates, all of them lightly separated from the wall. The designer of this “Schiena” bookcase, Pietro Travaglini, placed these plates as the physical connection between concept and reality. If that wasn’t enough for you, the bookcase can be made of different materials and colors AND it’s got low energy LED lights behind it. Looks even better with books on it, I swear! Designer: Pietro Travaglini
