"I know when you think Futuristic, you think Ironing. I know that when you drew (or draw) pictures of the future with crayons, you made sure those space-people had nice, no-wrinkle shirts on, right? Right! So what we need here is Adam Wendel’s “Infinity Iron.” It is an iron for the future. For sure. With its interactive nature and unique form, it will make the world a flatter place, with great skill and aesthetically pleasing form. And it’s made to prevent arthritis. That horrible, horrible hand job that 1 in 3 people are affected by. Using this machine is grace. The shell pivots along the center sphere, reducing the amount of turning the wrist of the hand has to do drastically. The center sphere also acts as a water reservoir for steaming."

I stopped wearing a wristwatch years ago when I started carrying my mobile phone everywhere. There still lots of people that wear watches wherever they go and many of the geeky types out there like watches that are different. For the group appreciating watches that are different, the Maze of Time watch is perfect.
The watch is designed by Andy Kurovets and is a concept on the Yanko Design website. Each color on the watch face corresponds with a different time element. Yellow and blue mark the hours and red and green mark the minutes.
The watch face looks pretty crazy, but if you look closely, you can make out the time easily enough even if at first it looks like nothing but a jumble of colored lines. I could see Tokyo Flash selling this watch for sure.

This is a concept design about a set of wireless headphones that also have a 10.1 megapixel digi-cam on one side and a digital image projector on the side. You can capture your world all the time and put that stuff on the internet right away. Instantly. Here’s basically the manifesto of this project: Support the act of exploration by giving people better tools. Deepen image’s meaning by supoprting as much information as possible. Bring people together by enabling individuals to express themselves. There’s all kinds of wireless going on"

Executed by several students of the ISD of Valenciennes (France), made lovely by a vision for the ecological future of motorbikes. Technologies abound, the “BMW HP Kunst” employs a cryogenic hydrogen tank, battery Li-Po, electronical brakes and controls, and electromagnetic suspensions."

PermalinkUnplggd | Yanko Design | Email this | CommentsDesigner Soon Mo Kang has taken a simple thing as a power strip, and has turned it into something much more versatile. It’s still a power strip, but its almost LEGO-like parts, LEDs, and labels helps to keep track of what’s plugged in where.
As Gizmodo stated, the Multi-Tab strip, by designer Soon Mo Kang, does three things that most power strips don’t:
1. Modular construction means you can expand it at will
2. Each plug accommodates a sticker label so you know what it’s powering
3. Components can be turned on/off individually, as marked with an LED
Even though it’s not the most technically complicated or advanced power device there is, the simple, yet smart design makes it something that I’d get in a heartbeat, as it does everything that a power strip should do, and even more.

Raise your hand if you like modular, multi-tab power strips. Nerd! But yeah. This is clearly the future of power strips, for what that's worth.

"From the deepest streets of the sidewalks of intelligence and smart thinking comes this! A bike for the ages. Literally made for the ages between 10 years and 15 years – for kids who are of bike riding age. It is of common knowledge that it’s a strange time for kids of any of those ages, especially when bike riding comes around to petal. Let’s take a look at this particular solution and keep our butts in the right place."
