| Phone with an Extra Squishy Surprise Posted: 11 Jan 2011 02:57 AM PST  My generation (I’m 30′ish if you must know) will not understand the need to have a cool looking phone that allows you to browse the internet intuitively, but the millennial generation do and I suspect they would love the Trypoxy Phone. Looks like a smooth pebble but for the ultimate web browsing experience, the rear has a soft-gel-like grab extension that can pulled out. It fits snuggly in one hand and has built-in controls to pinch and squeeze your way through the internet with simulated buttons for scrolling and moving back/forth thru pages. Designers: Miyazawa Tetsu & Ichimura Shigenori

| Making Yearly Calendars Obsolete Posted: 11 Jan 2011 01:41 AM PST  I am totally impressed with the Puzzle Calendar! What an ingenious idea with an easy to follow system. You simply keep shifting the tiles each month to keep pace with the changing days! You can even jot down notes on the side using a whiteboard marker. I'm so going to replace my desk calendar once this hits the market. Designer: Yan Yunyong

| Mercedes-Benz Embraces Sculptural Experimentation Posted: 11 Jan 2011 12:33 AM PST  The designers at the big MB are pushing the limits of automotive design by embracing sculptural experimentation. It permeates every aspect of their design process, from collaborative sketches to workgroups. The resulting sculpture titled Aesthetics No. 2 is stunning – deceptively complex and being ingeniously organic. I can only image which future Mercedes-Benz interiors will benefit from this awesome workflow. Mercedes-Benz Aesthetics No. 2 sculpture is this idea made visible. It consciously defies the shackles of the limited context of ergonomics, technical feasibility, formal constraints and, not least, the exterior of the vehicle, in order to impress the observer with its pure sensory-aesthetic appeal. In addition, the sculpture offers a preview of the clear-cut yet emotionally-appealing sculptural form language in the Mercedes-Benz interior design of the future. At the same time it is able to transport the high aesthetic, functional and sensuous aspirations characteristic of a Mercedes-Benz interior, bridging the gap between art and the aesthetics of Mercedes-Benz interior design. It compels the observer to pause for a moment, and challenges, interprets anew that which is already familiar in the vehicle interior, touching both the senses and rational reflection in doing so. Designer: Mercedes-Benz

| Don’t Shred Your Paper – Disappear Your Ink! Posted: 11 Jan 2011 12:03 AM PST  Take a peek at this, paper shredder that doesn’t shred – this is the electromagnetic erasing system. The idea for this project came to the designer from observing the destructive effect of electromagnetic radiation on color pigments. Scary! This project aims directly at utilizing electromagnetic radiation in a fully controlled reaction inside a machine to break all bonds of color pigments that absorb only a particular range of the electromagnetic spectrum. What’s that mean? Maybe… reusable paper? The designer notes that the only way this system would work would be to have those CMYK pigments that would be utilized in a way that their absorption band is different from the paper they’re printed on. This process would be similar to photochromic or thermochromic materials in that color pigments start to decompose into colorless products – HOWEVER, also as the designer notes, this process would be different from photochromic change in that electro erasing would be an irreversible reaction. Hardcore! Designer: Mohsen Saleh

| Electric No Seater on Two Wheels Posted: 11 Jan 2011 12:03 AM PST  Behold one wacky bike for the further excellence of trick tracking across the X-Games world! The designer of this project has pulled out all the extras on this trick bike – even going so far as to remove the saddle seat! Because the designer recognizes that a bicycle is small enough to do some crazy tricks but limited by the power the rider can exert, while motorbikes have a bunch of power but are limited by their size, this project aims to cross the two. The power the rider jams into the bike is now transformed into electric power. The rest of the bike is designed to be light – the frame being all tubes and carbon. The fork is inverted to integrate a front lens and a video camera for shooting from the first person point of view! This is wild. This is Hydromagnificence on Two Wheels by Charles-Edouard BERCHE. Ride it. Technic: Frame: Aluminium tubular frame and carbon frame Designer: Charles-Edouard BERCHE

| Posted: 11 Jan 2011 12:02 AM PST  So you like strips of bright light aside blackness, greenness, or grayness, yes? You must love the heck out of this Tron: Legacy wave of items coming out as of late! I know I love it. Not because all of them are good (excluding the one I’m about to show you, of course,) but because they’ve got that one singled-out limit that ties them all together. Let’s have a group show! Someday maybe. Now check this little thing out – it’s a Tron Ring! This is no total concept work, this is real, ready to go, out there in the world. This ring is designed by James Thompson and is milled by his company Black Badger Advanced Composites. Specifically, it’s milled from a cross section of solid carbon fiber plate, (offcuts from aerospace production), fused with DuPont Corian. So far it comes in blue and orange, and a white version is coming on soon. This ring will be shown at Designboom Mart 2011 at the Stockholm Furniture Fair, check Black Badger out! Designer: James Thompson

| Minimalist 3D Camera is All Smiles Posted: 11 Jan 2011 12:01 AM PST  If I came away with one one conclusion from this year’s CES, it’s 3D. For years companies have been talking about it but it seems 2011 is when it all comes to fruition and leading the initial wave are 3D cameras. The STEREOO concept gave us deja vu but this form factor and effervescent aesthetic is exactly what’ll get the general public excited about 3D. I love the minimalism and the humor of seeing a camera smiling back at you. The large display is capable of displaying 3D images and doubles as a touch interface. I want one now. Designer: Designer: Michal Bonikowski from MINDSAILORS

| Posted: 11 Jan 2011 12:00 AM PST  The Tulip is a revolutionary bath/shower combo designed for small bathrooms. Inspired by tulip blooms, the pod like shape serves as a bath when open and as a shower when closed. In this upright position, the footprint is significantly reduced. This inspired and efficient use of space brings luxury features normally reserved for traditional units into the smallest bathrooms. Underwater jets, massagers and programmable sequences ensure the most relaxing bathing experience. Patent pending and looking for a manufacturer. Designer: Piotr Pyrtek
