| Posted: 07 Feb 2011 06:40 AM PST GRAVITY represents a shift away from processed packaged foods, towards healthy raw ingredients and making your own meals. The objective is to help children adopt improved eating habits and attitudes towards nutrition at a young age so they are able to maintain a healthy diet in later life. Its mix and measure system facilitates new experiences with food, educates about common preparation methods, ingredients and practices. Combining separate ingredients through gravity assisted mixing is a novel approach to baking or cooking for the child. The ingredients in the cup drop into the bowl through an intuitive twist action. The twisting form of the cups is a visual cue alluding to a twist interaction. Incorporating elements of play, the bowl can be mixed actively by spinning or shaking on a curved base. The advantage is in the ability for parent and child to measure, mix and test food combinations together, ensuring experimentation and exploration with food as a joint activity. The ability to measure an ingredient before combining into a mixing bowl teaches the child about portion size and quantity. Gravity Food Preparation System is a James Dyson ADA Entry. Designer: André Taris

| Posted: 07 Feb 2011 06:35 AM PST The Linna armchair is a more gentler side from designer Jader Almeida. Unlike his previous featured work, Linna is “honest.” There’s nothing flashy about it. It’s elegant and harmoniously blends into the room. As usual, the construction quality is amazing. The medium densified hardwood structure and multilaminated shells (backrest and seat) allows anatomic shapes, all made from CNC cuts and hand-made finishing processes. Designer: Jader Almeida

| Posted: 07 Feb 2011 06:26 AM PST With its charismatic Wall-E eyes for lights, the Lobot is the cutest robotic lamp I’ve have seen. A body constructed out of anodized aluminum and "robust and well engineered hinge system", this lamp can be maneuvered into different positions with gliding ease. I simply love its minimal design and its no-fuss attitude, looks as if it were made to banish all darkness surrounding your desk! I need to get this one. Designer: Jinseok Hwang for studioLOBOT

| Posted: 07 Feb 2011 06:23 AM PST We pass through rotating gates at many checkpoints like train stations and amusement parks and we never give it a thought but there is a lot of potential mechanical energy that can be harnessed. The Green Pass is one such gate with a three-roller switch mechanism to trap, transfer and convert mechanical energy as you pass through its turnstiles. Green Pass is a 2010 Liteon Awards winning project. Designers: Bi Zhao, Fengchi L, Meixian Su, Fengming Chen, Yuke Li, Jiamin Liang & Yujie Chen

| Henkel Wants Your Package Design To Stick! Posted: 07 Feb 2011 04:09 AM PST We have come a long way from using crude materials like reeds, bags made from animals and wooden boxes for packaging. Modern packaging needs to contain, protect, preserve, transport, inform and sell. It needs to be clever, attractive, sustainable and innovative. One of the driving forces in this field is Henkel. There’s an open call for The Henkel Interactive Packaging Design Contest. Winner gets 3,000 euros and instant bragging rights. Register here! The Process
Judging Criteria Apart from the attractiveness of the design, the sustainability required of all Henkel products and packaging, the innovative power, the usefulness and the efficiency of the packaging proposals will be considered in the assessment. Prizes
Last Date For Submissions: 18th March 2011

| Posted: 07 Feb 2011 01:18 AM PST The following is NSFW. Every once in a while here at Yanko Design we’re submitted a project that is so very adult in nature that we cannot post it in full lest our supporters all bail ship and call us design heretics. That said, the project contained in this post is called Adela [Erotic Chair]. It’s made of fiberglass, polyurethane, and vinyl plastic. The designer is Andres Amaya, and I’ll leave the many uses for the chair to you. Designer: Andres Amaya of Bala Studio

| Posted: 07 Feb 2011 01:13 AM PST Let’s take a dip for a moment into the world of fashion in a very general way. We don’t often cover fashionable items here on Yanko Design because more often than not industrial design ends up being about as far from the clothing and decoration world as it gets. On the other hand, every once in a while something spectacular comes along and we just can’t help ourselves. Take a peek here at the “Vibba” bracelet by Xanath Lammoglia, a designer / artist who brings not only a bit of jewelry to accent the most beautiful of ensembles, but a sculptural piece of art that looks amazing sitting all by itself.

| Posted: 07 Feb 2011 01:07 AM PST In the design and creation of the following addition to the industrial chair legacy, designer Adam Moller decided with minimal surface area that was at once ergonomically and strategically placed, he’d have the chair to he wished to attain. What chair was that? One that made you forget the object that was allowing you to sit, one that gave you the feeling of floating on air. Sound comfortable – does it stand up? With thin memory foam cushions and a lovely minimalistic overall design? You bet your biffy. Not one, not two, but three floating panels give you the experience Moller envisioned. Ech of these panels works together with the frame of the chair to give you a uniquely iconic posture. And there’s a bonus! Due to the construction method employed in the creation of this chair, there are no fasteners visible to the un-inquisitive user. Clean and fresh. Designer: Adam Moller
