The Honey Strip by Jinhwan Kim & Hyein Lee

toma — Fri, 17 Mar 2017 23:05:57 +0000

Not ideally the first thing one would picture in mind upon hearing the words Honey Strip, but all in all this product is rather fascinating. Using the Honeycomb structure’s spatial efficiency along with electricals to create a modular power strip, the Honey Strip lets you plug individual points into one another to create an extension board that not only fits your space requirements, but also looks like an interesting work of art rather than one of those ugly store-bought power strips.

Made of independent hexagonal units that can plug into one another, and also let you plug your gadgets, appliances into it, the Honey Strip is infinitely customizable. It even comes with these halos around the plug-points that give off a warm light when on, allowing it to serve as a patterned ambient light too, aside from fulfilling your power needs!

Frop by Paul Ketz

toma — Tue, 07 Feb 2017 17:03:26 +0000

“Remarkable combination of form and function – frop is flat like a CD, opens like a book, and cracks nuts with force and speed.”

Inspired by children with slingshots and cap guns, this frog-green helper cracks nuts and, in the process, makes a sound just like its name – frop. Without the mess of flying shells for a lot of fun.

The any-size-fridge by Guillaume Landin

toma — Mon, 02 Jan 2017 16:16:57 +0000

Exploring air thermal insulation capacity using the inflatable alveolar wall, the frigid air refrigerator is flexible. This unique feature allows you to change the volume of the refrigerator and thus determine the cooling capacity for the amount of food stored. What this means is – you can expand and compact the fridge, depending upon how much food is there to be stored. A basic heat pump cools the food storage space and has no contact with the cold zone. Essentially the compressor and condenser are bundled up and don’t emit heat near the main cooling box. The main fridge bag is sealed and a protective waterproof textile is fixed on the inside using Velcro strips.

I like innovative thought processes that ignite change. Is this fridge design the best possible solution? Perhaps not, but it does force us to think of a modular form that can expand or contract as per the usage, and help save space and energy.

Recoiling socket in the wall by Meysam Movahedi

toma — Mon, 02 Jan 2017 15:53:52 +0000

The Rambler Socket from designer Meysam Movahedi is maybe the solution. The extension cord of almost 1,5 meters cord can be stored inside your wall. Just open it up an plug in any electronic devices – and when your’re finished, put it in the wall again.

After the deed is done, you simply give the wire a gentle tug (activates a spring mechanism), and it recoils back into place. Ideal for using with electronics like vacuum cleaners, hair driers etc where you don’t need extension cords on a full-time basis.

Fire extinguisher by June Young Kim & Ji Min Lee

toma — Sat, 19 Apr 2014 05:00:23 +0000

Our typical fire extinguishers are bare minimum in design. They serve only one purpose: fire dousing. There is a little more that can be added, particularly in the form of protection. The Shield Extinguisher attempts to do this by bridging the gap between fire fighting and protecting one from flames, smoke and possible blasts.

Ballo Speaker by Bernhard Burkard

toma — Fri, 04 Apr 2014 06:37:27 +0000

Design studio Bernhard Burkard about project: “The speaker BALLO for Hong Kong based brand OYO – Objects You Obsess provides massive sound for this tiny device. It comes with a built-in rechargeable Lithium battery and is compatible with most audio devices. The 3.5mm jack is a regular plug for headphones. When pluged-in, the speaker turns on automatically. The design follows principles of minimalistic design. A colorful belt fuses two hemispheres. It protects the speaker and increases the bass tones when lying on a surface.
The BALLO speaker is available in ten different colors. Its polycarbonate case makes it robust and perfectly portable.”

Finger Mouse by Shinji Nukumi

toma — Sun, 19 Jan 2014 14:29:23 +0000

Art Director, Developer and designer Shinji Nukumi about concept: “Current mice are too big. Control computers with a swipe of your finger. If possible, we want computer operation to be easier. If it could be made more compact and simple, computers would be easier to use, and computer operation more enjoyable.”

Cactus – warm and colds fridge by Erik Edward Kim

toma — Sun, 19 Jan 2014 13:48:36 +0000

The Cactus is a hybrid kinda appliance, one that moves from a freezer to a refrigerator to a food warmer. Consider it as a food storage box that keeps your eatables either warm or cold, depending upon the requirement. Designed for use in nuclear households, the appliance goes against the typical principle of conducting heat from the outside to cool the inners of a fridge.The Cactus scores a full ten on the design department. It’s very kawaii in looks and everything inside it has been designed keeping food specifics and usage in mind.

Chameleon Bandage by Xue Xing Wu, Zi Yu Li, Yue Hua Zhu & Zhi Qiang Wang

toma — Mon, 16 Dec 2013 16:53:49 +0000

The concept of band-aid protection a notch higher by becoming literally invisible. How this Chameleon Bandage work we have no idea since the designers have not clarified it yet. Imagine how cool will it be to sport a bandage that blends with your skin tone, especially for those awkward places on your chin or cheek.

The kitchen Tools by Studio Lievito

toma — Sat, 09 Nov 2013 21:18:39 +0000

Block and durmast ladles in oak, handles in white Carrara marble. Series of ladles hidden behind a solid durmast structure: there are no doubts on where to keep each of these after being uses. The marble handle turns out to be particularly “politically correct”, avoiding stains on the counter.
