Reading Material, Predictable Magic
29 Dec
People-oriented design
We love the tangible side of ID, but the majority of designs will never move beyond concept because there’s a dark area in ID everyone hates to wrestle with – the business side. Predictable Magic empowers you to face the challenge, to make you a better leader and business owner. It’s full of examples of how one creates products that resonate with consumers by making emotional connections. $19 on Amazon but from Jan 4-9, US Kindle owners can download it for free. Start the new year off right people. Predictable Magic.

Psychedelic Bubbles
29 Dec
People-oriented design
Do you remember blowing soap bubbles and chasing after them? Give me a set now, and you’d find me doing the same…. even at this age! I guess for such fun-stuff we get stuck in a time warp or something. And since this is the next-gen, imagine adding some neon-psychedelic colors to the suds and blowing glow-in-the-dark light bubbles! The next big thing!

Shower Flower!
29 Dec
People-oriented design
The River Flowing System doesn’t give you the chance of wondering if you have it set to flow or tap. The design is such that the showerhead is placed above a basin-esque bowl and the water flows down as a stream. Water pressure and temperature settings are controlled via a centralized knob and showerhead is held into place via magnets. So basically you just turn the shower on and the water cascades down the bowl-lip, giving you the best of both the worlds!

Well Timed Sockets
29 Dec
People-oriented design
Every little step towards saving energy is a good thing; and thus we have the Ring Socket. The design is based on how a timer works. Set the ring for an hour, two-hours, more-hours; and at the end of it, the power supply shuts off. A thoughtful design but I guess suitable only for single sockets; as a long strip it would look too comical!
Designers: Cheng-Hsiu Du & Chyun-Chau Lin
Watchers in Darkness
29 Dec
People-oriented design
Behold shrouded figures standing watch over us all, each of them covered in light in all places both light and dark. These are a set of sculptures called “Light Guards,” designed and executed by designer / artist Manfred Kielnhofer. Each of them is a lamp sculpture, fabric draped over an invisible human-like shape. Each one of them is also polyester matched with energy sensitive lamps glowing at 32 W each.
These seem so spectacular. They remind me of the band SUNNO))), except they’re light and spectacularly gorgeous instead of darkest night. To have these sitting about your city is to have something miraculous keeping an eye on your whole spiritual population.

A False Arm that Doesn’t Appear So
29 Dec
People-oriented design
It’s the strangest thing, and it owes a lot to the advancement of medical research and history, that while eyeglasses have been fashionable almost from their inception, prosthesis have barely evolved at all in the hundreds of years they’ve existed. This situation has been addressed by Stephan Merkle in this project, AWEAR SERIES Prosthesis. It is through artificial skin and fashion elements that cover up advanced mechanical elements that make this project the leap into normality we should have made long, long ago.
Lovely and attractive elements cover up hinges and electronics, these myoelectric prosthesis allow the user to not only match their own physical appearance, they’re able to accessorize to the degree that such a perceived handicap should be, turning that piece thats missing into a piece that’s added. Take a peek at the video and gallery below.
