Let’s Play Lego Sockets
Rotating 360° is a multi-outlet socket system that allows you to add many sockets to the strip – ala Lego style. The main feature is that you can turn around the socket-outlets in any direction, so as to accommodate various plugs. You have to admit that this is a cool idea.

Un bolso de Coco Chanel inspira un museo móvil inaugurado en Hong Kong
Este edificio tan vistoso y espectacular está instalado en Hong Kong, y aunque no os lo creáis está inspirado en el bolso ’2.55′ creado por mademoiselle Coco Chanel. En realidad, se trata de un futurista museo móvil formado por 700 piezas e ideado por la premio Pritzker de Arquitectura iraquí Zaha Hadid.
La influencia de Chanel está muy arraigada en este edificio y en su contenido. Todo ha sido reunido en una muestra que llevará el nombre de ‘Arte Móvil’. En la exposición descubriremos la influencia que ha tenido en las creaciones de vanguardia el clásico bolso acolchado que la legendaria diseñadora francesa concibiera hace cinco décadas.
Hong Kong es la primera parada de esta alocada exposición quu también recalará en Tokio, Nueva York, Londres, Moscú. A la cita tampoco podía faltar París, última parada del tour en 2010.
Los responsables de la firma gala, con Karl Lagerfeld a la cabeza, han escogido entre los artistas más selectos del panorama contemporáneo para homenajear al bolso de Coco Chanel. Un total de 20 artistas de todo el mundo viajaron hasta el apartamento de Chanel en París para inspirarse en sus bolsos.
Entre las piezas más codiciadas se encuentra el ‘Árbol de los deseos’, de Yoko Ono, ‘La danza de los siete velos’ del fotógrafo japonés Nobuyoshi Araki, la vídeoinstalación ‘Todas las cosas están dentro’ de Sudobh Gupta, las propuestas de la francesa Sophie Calle y del japonés Soju Tao, o piezas del fotógrafo estadounidense Stephen Shore, de la Factoría de Andy Warhol, la suiza Sylvie Fleury o el argentino Leandro Erlich, cuyas obras son explicadas a los visitantes a través de un reproductor iPod en la que será la muestra más móvil del mundo.

cocina para discapacitados
Specialized Kitchen-Dining For The Physically Challenged
Coox is a specialized kitchen plus dining area meant for those who use wheelchairs; however able-bodied people can use it comfortably as well. Sporting a circular form, the table is divided into two areas, the cooking and the dining. The cooking side hosts a fridge, microwave oven, induction cooker, armature, dish rack and drawers. A wheelchair-bound person’s basic anthropometric measurements have been taken into consideration while designing it.
Special care has been taken while designing the specifics. For example, the tap can be maneuvered to different positions for washing dishes or hands; the oven turns a 180 degrees for easy access; the induction cooker slides across the surface up to 120 degrees. The fridge uses a pneumatic system and an electric motor for operations.
Over-all a comfy looking compact design, however till someone doesn’t use this kind of a setup its tough to say how efficient it will be. Its practicality cannot be assessed on paper.

Zaha Hadid y Lacoste, calzado futurista en espiral
Este calzado (¿bota, sneaker, zapatilla de caña media?) que parece salido de una película de Spielberg lo firman Lacoste y Zaha Hadid, famosa arquitecta iraquí de vanguarda que le dió por diseñarlo a petición de los franceses del cocodrilo.
Un alucinante trabajo conjunto que, como mínimo, sorprende por su diseño rompedor y la utilización de un material (que no he sido capaz de averiguar) al que han esculpido digitalmente un dibujo repetitivo que simula la piel de cocodrilo, en honor al logo de Lacoste.
Como ya anunciaron hace meses, pronto van a estar disponibles pero sólo en tiendas muy selectivas. Este zapato en espiral, de apariencia comodísima, se podrá comprar el próximo mes de julio en las tiendas de 10 Corso Como, Dover Street Market y en la web Colette.

Jaguar solar conceptos de ecoautos
Solar Powered Sunflower Jaguar
Welcome to the future – where plants take us by surprise and seal our fates as the dear or dying species on this planet! Our only defense is the “Jaguar Mark XXI.” Designer Christopher Pollard has made this nature defense vehicle. It drives like a mother. Then when parked, the black panels activate. These panels are photovoltaic, lift from the car automatically, and face the sun, like the sunflower. Scary, right?
It’s totally science. Watch the video. You’ll see it.
The “living” panels signify “the synergy between the car’s energy replenishing function and the natural science from which it takes its inspiration.” The photovoltaic panels use solar power – a power you may have heard of – to power the car. Additional details bist written below. It’s like a -oh what to do you call it – Transformer!
Green car / in disguise!

habitabilidad del futuro
This is Future Living
The Future Living house is a testament to the will of design. It took twenty six designers (a feat in itself) to create it. Every technologic leap was analyzed to make sure anything proposed was possible by 2050. It’s a paradigm shift in home resource creation and location. Water uses gravity to generate pressure. Energy is harvested from solar and wind apparatuses. Air, water and waste are cleaned using a living bio wall and everything is recycled when possible.

Interior de virgin americas airlines
Posted by Michael DiTullo | 19 Dec 2010
As a Creative Director for a global innovation firm, I fly often. Having to get around the globe on short notice I sample a lot of airlines. All of us should be turning to the passenger next to us saying "can you believe this is really working" on every flight we take, but much of the majesty and magic has been sucked out of the flight experience. From the online booking process, the shoeless, beltless, TSA shuffle through security, to the ragged airplane interiors we are just trying to get through it, perhaps imagining we are in our "happy place".
Not on Virgin, where Sir Richard Branson, billionaire, innovator, adventurer (man crush) and Adam Wells, Virgin America's Design director, have created an immersive design based experience that brings back a touch of that wonder of flight. The planes are more than three years old now and it is amazing to see how far ahead they are of the competition. From the mood-lighting, to the CMF of the seat backs, to the sarcastic safety announcements, everything is just better. Because of routes (and my high mileage with United and Delta) I don't get to fly Virgin much. When I do, I'm reminded of the power of design to evoke a sense of dignity and fun to what is really an amazing fact of being hurtled through the air in a machine with a few strangers.
Appropriately, there is no one big WOW element in the design, but instead it is a collection of well orchestrated small things that make me actually want to be on the plane; like being able to order food anytime you want via the seat back UI, a remote control that feels like it was made in this century, a color palette that relates more to me than my grandmother and flight attendants that seem to be trained to be funny. So thank you Adam Wells. Thank you for not pandering, thank you for looking for the highest common denominator instead of the lowest, thank you for respecting your passengers and honoring the wonder of flight. Other airlines, take note, this is how you do it. Hope you are flying Virgin for the holidays!
Protesis con verdadero diseño

We recently caught up with Scott Summit, the industrial designer behind San-Francisco-based Bespoke Innovations, at AU 2010, where he was one of the keynote speakers. Bespoke Innovations has a clear mission: Apply good industrial design and rapid prototyping techniques to make kick-ass prosthetics. They don't do off-the-shelf parts--they interview amputees, find out what makes them tick, and design some seriously cool custom limbs based on their interests and tastes.
Some amputees like Mid-Century Modern. Some like motorcycles. Some like leather or tattoos. Summit seems like the first industrial designer to realize that with today's manufacturing technologies, there's no reason an amputee should have to wear a cold and impersonal prosthetic designed by some engineer who's ordering parts out of a catalog and has never been to design school.
With about a million diabetic amputees in the U.S. alone, Summit and Bespoke have a huge market to address. And as they serve them, they're raising some very good issues about the product space that mass production should, and should not, occupy in the future. The production world is changing, and as you'll see in the interview below, Summit isn't just riding the wave--he's helping to create it.

Detroit-based industrial designer Eric Strebel, along with his partner Jim Nogarian, have launched a Kickstarter campaign seeking funding for the Solar Vox, a solar powered USB charger. Inspired by the Minty Boost DIY charger, Strebel added a solar panel to recharge a pair of AA batteries or connect directly to your portable device. The housing allows you to angle the solar panel easily to optimize charging, and features a built-in storage compartment to hold your phone while charging.
The project video explains the whole thing nicely, including footage of the sketch models. Pre-order yours now to help bring this product to market. Deadline is Jan. 28.
While you're at it, check out Strebel's portfolio at Coroflot.com too!
Lamparas dinamicas existenciales

The "Tvor" lamp by Czech design student Jindrich Vodicka, is another example of the weird and wonderful creations to emerge from the maturing design scene in central and eastern Europe in recent years.
This bizarre concept, uses sensors and an Adruino programme to scan its immediate environment to locate the darkest patch—which it then leaps into action to flood with light. Unfortunately, the creation is "doomed to endless travel" as it eagerness to illuminate only transfers the darkness to another part of the room—starting the whole process again.

Anyways, back to my interview fantasy. If the interviewee gave an answer I didn't like, I'd suddenly go into a tailspin and re-enact a fiery crash.
If I could hire employees, I'd have a desk like this and sit behind it wearing a leather flying cap, bomber jacket, scarf and goggles while I interviewed prospectives. I would act normal through much of the interview but pause at intervals to shoot down enemy bombers with pantomime and self-generated sound effects.
That's Restoration Hardware's new Aviator Wing Desk, "inspired by streamlined World War II fighter planes." It instantly reminded me of the work of MotoArt, a California-based firm we looked at last year that produces furniture from old airplanes. There are a couple differences, though: MotoArt's stuff is made from the real deal, while RH's desk is just aluminum sheets screwed (not even riveted?) to a wooden frame; and judging by the close-up shots, the fit and finish of the latter's product doesn't look up to the former's standards.
Nuevos conceptos de zapatos -El fin de las medias?

One merit they forgot to add is that it will make your boy tougher or at the very least, accustomed to fighting off a daily onslaught of attackers at the monkey bars. Yeah, if my kid had to wear these I'd draw attention away from his feet by giving him one of those beanies with the propeller on top.
I know they're not meant to be funny looking, but I keep thinking these are the kinds of shoes you send your kid out in when you want him to get beat up at the playground:
They're by a Japanese company called Globe, and the advertised merits of having separated-toe shoes is improved circulation, hygiene (I guess isolated toes develop no "funk"), and a better sense of grabbing the ground with your feet for those being physically rehabilitated.

Muscular furnace designPosted by hipstomp | 30 Dec 2010 |
Good gosh do I want one of these Bullerjan furnaces, a woodburning stove whose design suggests in contains a V8 engine. In fact the pipes on the bottom draw in cold air and those on top vent hot air, giving this "Free Flow" design an "enormous heating capacity."
My favorite part of the product copy is the company's claim that it was developed by Canadian lumberjacks. I picture a group of enormous Paul-Bunyan-lookin' dudes in red flannel shirts crammed around a comparatively tiny CAD machine in a forest cabin, waiting for the render to complete. "It's stuck at 82%, eh?"
