| Porsche Design Smartphone For Your Cellphone Wet Dreams! Posted: 15 Nov 2010 04:41 AM PST  Conceptual plans are awesome especially if they promise you the moon! Here is what André luring you with, a Porsche Design Smartphone that is in slick aluminum, and a huge clean multi touch screen. The speaker is hidden out of sight between the glass and the aluminum body, to increase its aesthetic appeal and sound enhancement. The line at the bottom is the home and navigation button and the aluminum volume controls are housed to the left side. A Quick video access button is hosted at the right side of the phone, giving you easy access to making great home videos. The back sports a dual camera system. You can use only one of the cams to take 5Mp photos and shoot 720p HD video with stereo sound quality, plus use the dual camera system to record 3D video and pictures. And of course, for low light situations there is a LED flash included! Other specs include Android based system with custom apps developed by André. A 3,5mm audio jack and a sleep button on the top, and on the bottom there’s the battery charger and USB connecter as well. All good on paper…like I said, a wet dream for the techie-lover in you! Designer: André Duarte Silva

Explain that the little sperm showing the minutes and hours is moving forth to fertilize the central ovule! And that's how timely babies are born! * Note: the last image is your biology lesson for the day! Enjoy! Designer: Andy Kurovets

| MYKITA Eyewear, Berlinese Style Posted: 15 Nov 2010 12:33 AM PST  This past summer I walked by our local eyewear shop and decided to kill some time. The shop owner brought over these very angular metal eye glasses and proclaimed they were right up my aesthetic alley. She was right. Mykita, MYKITA- “sounds Japanese” I said, but the unique springless design and sharp silhouettes were clues to its real origins – only Germans could create something so fantastically warm and modern. Within days I had samples in my hand and spoke to the Berlinese boys about their company. Hit the jump for our quick chat. Tell me about your eyewear.Mykita has two different main collections, Collection No.1 – Stainless Steel The first range of metal frames was unveiled at the Silmo international eyewear fair in the fall of 2004. A highly innovative functional design comprising simple plug connections made complex soldered joints and screw connections redundant, while the frames themselves were cut out of stainless sheet steel before being folded into form. As well as being incredibly light, the frame can be easily adjusted to the wearer's features thanks to a wide variety of configuration options. The corrective spectacles and sunglasses in the collection range from the classically elegant to avant-garde designs in a wide range of frame colours. Collection No. 2 – Acetate This collection was first unveiled in 2006. In a marked departure from previous frames, MYKITA Collection No.2 is made from full-bodied acetate – a material that enjoys a huge tradition in the eyewear industry. What set the new spectacles apart is the hinge – a connecting element that hugs the front and temples in the style of a sheath. The designs are crisp, clear and distinctive and are each related to frames from the metal collection. A carefully selected range colours gives Collection No.2 a varied but nonetheless homogenous collective look. Who designs your frames?Mykita has a in-house design department. Harald Gottschling & Philipp Haffmans are both head of design as well as being two of the four founders. The creative process however is a team effort. MYKITA was founded by Harald Gottschling, Daniel Haffmans, Philipp Haffmans and Moritz Krueger. What to some may sound like an Asian-style name was in fact inspired by the firm's first premises – a former day-care centre for children (in East Germany abbreviated to “Kita”). Is everything made in-house?All glasses are handmade in our own production shop – which is located inside the so called MYKITA HAUS in the heart of Berlin. All production steps, a part from the cutting of the stainless stell in the acid bath and the coating of the metal material (both industrial processes) are perfomed at the MYKITA Haus! Do you plan on more collaborations?The Design Team of MYKITA really enjoys collaborations with fashion designers, as it gets the creative juices flowing and brings a different view on things. For Spring/Summer 2010 MYKITA launched a collection with London based Designer Marios Schwab. The outcome of this collaboration is industrial style sunglasses, whose circular frames are cut complete from thin sheets of stainless steel, before being folded into shape. Two models were created, Hamilton & Jane. Avant-garde fashion designer Romain Kremer and MYKITA worked together on two models: the Romain (SS2010), and Yuri, a pair of futuristic glasses (AW 2010), which was recently worn by Lady Gaga. After a successful collaboration with Bernhard Wilhelm last year on the AW 2009 collection, new "MYKITA & Bernhard Wilhelm" collections for men (models Franz, Alois, Sepp) and for women (model Janis & Lucidus) (AW 2010) have been presented at TRANOI in Paris. Perhaps the most endearing part of their story is everything is still designed and hand made in Berlin despite their international acclaim. They have an amazing range with the price hovering around $400 USD which is comparable to other designer eyewear. I’m betting bigger things will happening for the MYKITA Haus next year. We here at Yanko Design are officially fans and can’t wait to see more. In fact, I may have to hop a plane to Berlin soon and pay them a visit. How about it boys? Designer: MYKITA

| Posted: 15 Nov 2010 12:15 AM PST  When we think about the ultimate bus kiosk, we might envisage this concept simply called the Bus Station. In just one unit, you get weather, search, rail and line information and even a way to plan your trip. The touch based user interfaced is designed to be simple and minimal and the screen can be rotated to provide a different perspective. However, implementing units like this seems expensive, especially when something similar could be disseminated directly to smart phones. Is this too little, too late? Designer: Soonkyu Jean

| One Large Envelope for your Shoulder Posted: 15 Nov 2010 12:10 AM PST  This shoulder envelope, cleverly titled “Envelope Bag” and designed by Lee Weilang of MEGAWING, is approximately W9.8 x L13.4″, made of leather and polyurethane, and is just daring you to jam your iPad in it. It’s meant to resemble the kraft paper envelopes with tie you may have used countless times as a student or office worker of many kinds. Now you can slap in on your side and fill it with smaller envelopes! Hooray for consistency! It’s light, yet strong, made to hold your gadgets, and comes with an adjustable and detachable strap. With the strap’s versatility, you’re also able to attach the bag across your chest (just incase you’ve got something VERY important. Also, it’s got an insert pocket with multiple pouches into which you can place all of your tinier things that’d just get lost inside such a generously sized sack. Designer: Lee Weilang of MEGAWING [Buy It Here Envelope Bag is available for $60 @ YD Store]

| BT Headset Circa 2007, Still Looks Good Posted: 15 Nov 2010 12:10 AM PST  Pure Rubber is a bluetooth headset designed in 2007. At the time BT headsets where large and made every wearer a cyborg-esque automaton. As sexy as that sounds, it wasn’t a good look. Once in awhile it’s nice to reach back into the archives and bear witness to which concepts actually stood the test of time. Today’s headsets all pretty much mimic the size and shape of the Pure Rubber. Nice one. Designer: Pierre Duthoit

| High Efficiency Energy Saving Audio Posted: 15 Nov 2010 12:03 AM PST  It’s sort of like when you “shop more, you save more,” but you know what I mean. It’s not as much energy as you’d be using with your everyday stereo system. This is “Presence,” a high efficiency, energy saving bit of equipment joined together “by a visual brand.” It consists of a pair of loudspeakers, CD player, pre-amp and amplifier, vibration damper, and a 50 inch plasma TV. I’ll take one, please! Read more below. The electronics in this lovely beast were designed and developed by hungarian Bodor Audio, it’s exterior deisnged by MYD-II interior and design studio. Each one of these systems is custom installed by a crew, fit in your home the way you like it. This project was shown in this year’s Home Theatre and Hi-Fi Show in Budapest and everyone basically completely loved it. NOTE: Bodor Audio+ came from the co-operation of Bodor Audio and MYD-II. Designers: MYD-II interior and design studio (Csaba Finta, Viktor Pucsek) with Bodor Audio

| Posted: 15 Nov 2010 12:03 AM PST  Behold, Faucet Modular tiles by designer Daniela Bekerman. In your kitchen you’ll have faucet and it’s environment, soap diash, dish rack, everything you’ve dreamed of in a kitchen and never had plugged into the wall. All of it, now modular. That’s the future, that is what’s going to happen. Everything will plug into everything else and everything will work – right? Bekerman wishes it so! With these tiles, you have control over how your kitchen is designed, allowing you to keep it truly clean by taking all the bits out at any time. The faucet is able to be pulled out from the tile wall with the hose, and it’s got a silicone button for different water intensities. Soap can be filled in through a silicone hole in the wall, dispensed then below with another big button. Finally, the dish rack is made of aluminum covered silicone with an antislip cover for the dishes that can be taken out to increase the space between the dishes. Fun stuff! Designers: Daniela Bekerman
