The Double Bath

Posted: 24 May 2011 07:46 AM PDT

Nessie is a take on the classic cast iron baths from yesteryears. It features two shells made from recycled aluminum that are wielded together. The beauty about this design is that you can create color contrasts for the two tubs. The current blue and white combo is very Greek and relaxing feel to it.

Designer: Moreno Ratti

Tima Watch Gets Sporty

Posted: 24 May 2011 07:45 AM PDT

Tima was original concept by designer Julien Bergignat, but now it’s back with a sporty overhaul. Features include digital and analog display options that work simultaneously. The wide face and integrated apps make it easy to access almost any social mediums right from the screen. This e-paper watch is the ultimate social sports tracker! Not half bad looking either.

Designer: Julien Bergignat for Jonathan Cohlmeyer

Customized and Colorful Headphones

Posted: 24 May 2011 07:42 AM PDT

There’s no need to keep looking for the perfect earbuds that are just the right color you want. StanleyNg and Wai Chiu, designers from Hong Kong, are giving you the opportunity to create your own customized colorful (or just one solid color) headphones by using the application on their site. MIYA headphones are customizable and of course they work with all MP3/Media players and phones. I can’t vouch for audio quality but it’s kinda cool if you’re itchin’ for another way to express your personality.

Simple Safety for Mountain Climbers

Posted: 24 May 2011 12:15 AM PDT

Designer Malcolm Russell’s innate affinity for rock climbing is the source of inspiration for his latest design, Salus, a mountaineering safety tool that makes for quick and concise correspondence between climbing partners. The lightweight device latches onto the user’s harness and uses simple colored lights as basic commands, providing a safe and easy way to communicate invaluable information like danger warnings or a notification of a successful climb.

The solid Perspex lights have been sandblasted to soften the light, and the casing has been manufactured using PVC toughened plastic for roughness and durability.

Discovering Musical Culture

Posted: 24 May 2011 12:01 AM PDT

One of my favorite things about visiting new cities is being able to soak up the unique musical culture that exists within each individual place. The Insono focuses this idea into an aesthetically playful and easy to use location-based mp3 player that gives local unsigned artists the chance to broadcast their music and users the chance to experience the musical soundtrack unique to their new surroundings , enhancing their overall connection and affinity for the culture.

The device uses GPS and track-tagging technology to broadcast local musician’s songs specific to each neighborhood, creating a “soundtrack to life” in each area the user visits. To find out more information about a song, the user simply presses the “info” button to receive the artist’s name, track titles, as well as where and when the artist will be performing. A great way for local artists to expand their fan-base while providing the listener with a deeper appreciation of the newfound environment.

Sport Bike Expands Mobility

Posted: 24 May 2011 12:01 AM PDT

The WISB handbike is a result of the combined advantages of adaptive bikes and recumbent bikes that expands the limits of users with restricted or no leg-function. One part agile wheelchair and one part sport bike, the WISB gives users the option to toggle between “high mode” for indoor use and comfortable city driving, or “low mode” for cross-country trips and long distance riding. Controllable power settings and improved aerodynamics make this handbike perfect for both indoor or outdoor use.
