Eat Something Sexy Posted: 06 Mar 2012 05:32 AM PST The Afrodite aims at igniting passion with its range of sensual cookware. Based on the idea that food cooked with love and passion is a personal representation of us, it looks at delving into a journey filled with discovering pleasure in a unique way. Homage to the Greek goddess of love and beauty, the set is a refreshing new approach to culinary bliss. Afrodite is made of three elements thought both for cooking and tasting to create a unique experience of playfulness, complicity, intimacy and Eros. Afrodite jug (pot), Afrodite pan and Afrodite spoon (little saucepan for interactive, sensual games). Afrodite accessories: Mr Championglove (potholder for him inspired by boxing gloves), Lady Seductiveglove (inspired by the elegant and feminine gloves of the ’30s) and What’s Inside, potholder with a pocket where you can insert dinner invitations or love notes. The Lovers, Mr. Fork and Miss Spoon, a set of cutlery inspired by the contrasting shapes of the sinuous curves of the female body with those of a more tense and vigorous masculine shape. The collection is completed with a recipe book indexed by moods to create magical atmospheres and satisfy different cravings. Each mood allows the preparation of an entire course based on aphrodisiac ingredients. Containers in die-cast aluminum allow seductive curves, in combination with Bakelite handles for more tense forms. A precious chromatic color way was chosen for Afrodite: Gold Dionysus; a combination of the intoxicating shades of red wine with the preciousness of golden honey; the nectar of the gods.

Putting Out Flames in Style Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:59 AM PST One of the greatest pleasures of summer is to find a busted fire hydrant and experience the cooling water spray; simply enjoying the moment. With this proposed new design, taking advantage of a hydrant won't be so easy thanks to the tamper proof top, which requires a deep socket to operate the valve. Like the design team explains, "The goal was to apply a contemporary and functional design aesthetic, creating a form that would be instantly recognizable." Well done!

Gardening for All Posted: 06 Mar 2012 12:01 AM PST The U-CAN, inspired by the elephant’s super-functional trunk, features an extended tactile spout and built-in wheels on either side of its reservoir that make it easy to pull from gardening area to gardening area. Usable by adults, children and seniors alike, this functional design is particularly useful to users with limited mobility or strength by preventing injuries and exhaustion.

Blade Bodyguard Posted: 06 Mar 2012 12:01 AM PST I cringe every time I see an ice skate in a horror movie… you know that thing is going in someone’s head! You’d think that would be a reminder to be extra careful, but accidents still happen with those super sharp blades. Kootsu’s new skateguard protects both the blade & the user with a patented spring-activated catch & release mechanism that allows the unit to be installed on the skate blade with minimal contact & effort. A widened rubber sole also enables the user to safely walk in the them as if they were shoes. Designer: Kootsu - Yanko Design Timeless Designs - Explore wonderful concepts from around the world!

Ultra-Compact Bike Share Posted: 06 Mar 2012 12:01 AM PST The Urbanspeed bike-share system aims to not only reduce the carbon footprints of urban societies, but also the overall physical space that other systems often overlook. A sliding frame combined with folding pedals and rotating handlebars allow the bikes to compress to 22% of their size, minimizing the space they occupy in public spaces.
