Speakers of the Sea

Posted: 22 May 2013 09:14 AM PDT

These speakers celebrate and take inspiration from the natural world, using biomimicry for enhanced audio and aesthetics. Soundwhale surround sound provides multidirectional audio in the form of a whale passing through a wave while the Fishead focused speaker is a skeletal interpretation of the mouth of a fish where sound emanates. Composed of matte ceramic, polished titanium and oak wood, they’re an elegant compliment to entertainment systems anywhere from your boat to your beach house.

The Z Cool Fridge

Posted: 22 May 2013 01:11 AM PDT

The Z-Refrigerator is a refrigerator, which has the function of professional cook’s fridge and is the size of a double-door fridge. It is has the Z structure; when door is opened to the left, there is a large space, and to the right is a space where drinks and instant food can be stored. The fridge also saves energy by minimizing the amount of cold air escaping at once. I think I like it more for its funky design more than anything else!

Z-Refrigerator is a 2013 iF Design award – concept design entry.

Designer: Hee Young Lee

Sh*t Happens

Posted: 22 May 2013 01:01 AM PDT

Yes, pets mess up the lawns, driveways, hallways…almost everywhere. And all we can think of doing is getting rid of the dump asap. If we take a step back and look at the alternative then the 'Convertor of Pet Waste' doesn't sound like a bad option. The device basically converts the pet's dump into a useful biological fertilizer.

Convertor of Pet Waste is a pet faeces collector that uses infrared induction and a 'Cybernation Tech Biofertiliser' (CTB) system to distinguish and intelligently collect the pet faeces, and then convert it (with the help of a catalyst) into rich fertilizer.

Convertor of Pet Waste is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winner.

Designers: Prof. Dai YunTing, Lu JunShi, Liu Fei, Jiang Ying, Yin HuiJing, Xia ZhenLi & Gao Juan

Thin is in.

Posted: 22 May 2013 12:01 AM PDT

The skinny on this minimal lighting design by Terrance Seah is just that…. it’s skinny! The Cloudline  lamp sets the mood with diffused LED light that emits upwards from its thin, linear structure. Lightweight and technically simple, it’s both easy to mount and easy to operate with its touch sensitive dimmer. It’s a great way to efficiently illuminate any space with little disruption to the aesthetic of rooms in minimal style.
