A Moto Disguised

Posted: 29 Oct 2014 08:14 AM PDT

Despite having pedals, the Hydro Bike isn’t really a bicycle at all. This fuel cell-powered transportation features these faux pedals because in a lot of countries it would legally still be considered a bicycle, avoiding the need for a motorcyclists license, road tax, etc.. Thanks to its compact hydrogen power tech, the unibody design is a bit slimmer and stealthier than other powered bikes without sacrificing power for not only its motor but other various components including sleek integrated lights.

This Plug is a Switch!

Posted: 29 Oct 2014 04:56 AM PDT

Ideas that enhance functionality are always welcome, and hence the Clack Plug makes its way here. The socket is the switch itself; hence the design compels you to switch off the plug when not in use. Ideal of course is to unplug devices when not in use, but for now the Clack Plug will suffice.

Designers: Goeun Choi, Jeongsoo Heo & Younghun Lim

Turnt Up Chess!

Posted: 29 Oct 2014 12:01 AM PDT

The game of chess has long been an iconic symbol of status and intellect, so why not put your own on display? Mate is a wall-hanging chess board that provides a new and challenging perspective of the battle field. The design serves as functional art that allows players to enjoy the traditional game in an exciting way where an audience of friends can watch. It looks great and means no more top board that taking up space and collecting dust in the corner! DO WANT!
