| Posted: 28 Nov 2013 07:06 AM PST This was the question asked to the young participants of the competition run by Bang & Olufsen. To designers Sam Whyman & Andrew Guscott, it meant the B&O A9 – Weekender Edition. This beautiful speaker focuses on personal time, which is a luxury these days. The purpose of the design is to make you appreciate the details like the melody of the song you are listening to and of course your environment. The legs are crafted from Cocobolo wood, which continues to darken as oxidation occurs, and the final 2 sevenths of each leg is highlighted to represent the weekend. The hammered copper collar adds character to the design. Sweet! Designers: Sam Whyman & Andrew Guscott

| Posted: 28 Nov 2013 06:51 AM PST There should be more to children's toothbrushes that just cartoon figures, toy shapes and colors. Brushing teeth correctly is important and as a parent of two kids, I know the pain of getting it done right. Cavities are a worry and so are the tarter, I guess the best way to entice them to brush correctly will be to give them something fun and interactive like the Orgel. The Orgel Toothbrush integrates a bell-timer-toy into the body. It's like one of those string-wound toys that beams out music while retracting back to the base. Essentially you will know for sure that a three-minute routine has been followed and healthy gums + teeth are in and tooth decay are out! Designer: Jeong Shin Yoon

| Posted: 28 Nov 2013 12:34 AM PST It took me to an encounter with the MVMT Watch to understand that owning a high quality watch need not burn a hole in my pocket. Now I am not talking like a seasoned haute horology investor, but like a person who appreciates a well designed watch, crafted from quality materials and finds them within my reach. The MVMT Watches stem from the desire of young entrepreneurs and watch enthusiasts who wanted to "cut out the brand inflation" without compromising on the quality.
The way MVMT has been designed, you can easily wear it for casual occasions or formal do's. Either ways you have a conversation starter on your hands! The good thing is that there are six watches to choose from in this debut collection.
I asked Jake Kassan (the handsome dude you see in the video clip) what motivated the team to come up with MVMT. His story was simple: passion for watches and desire to cut out the brand inflation and retail markup of popular name brands.
After spending nearly a year working with leaders in the industry, the net results are exclusive timepieces that are crafted from 316 Low Carbon Grade stainless steel, and the 44.5mm case houses a Japanese Miyota Precision Quartz Movement. The watch also features a Date Function, but I'd like to see how the team would handle a few complications? Now I'm totally excited!
The watches will survive getting wet in the rains, but don't try and swim with them!
To sum it up, a minimalist look, highest quality materials and affordability are the key ingredients for the success of this handsome range of watches. Designer: MVMT [ Buy it Here ]

| Posted: 28 Nov 2013 12:01 AM PST If there is one name in the audio/video industry which personifies innovation, it’s Bang & Olufsen. But what if the brand delivered not just high-end entertainment products, but everyday appliance as well? Berk Kaplan explores what that might look and function like with this modern twist on the toaster. Premium materials, compact size, and full automation bring the design language of the luxury brand to an alternative vision of the modern appliance. Catch the vid to see how it works! Designer: Berk Kaplan

| Posted: 28 Nov 2013 12:01 AM PST Sitting itself is kinda boring, but design shouldn’t be… it should be fun! That’s the philosophy behind this modern interpretation of the classic Panton chair. To preserving the timeless character of the chair, the designers have avoided decorating it arbitrarily. The chair becomes an integral part of the design, as it would have been intended as a rocking horse by Panton in 1959. Original materials of the chair combined with locally grown wood, (in contrast to the dark fabric & metal) communicate elegance & lightness. Designer: David Schellander & Stefanie Richtsfeld
