Industrial Design News - November 2009


In this issue: the Emperor Axe, the Moonstream concept vehicle for on the moon, The Fun Theory, fashion bike bags, origami tea bags, a billboard that graps your coat, protecting food for the fridge. 
 

Axe


The Emperor axe was designed as a high quality ice axe tool for the recreational climber, making use of sustainable materials. A sturdy handle with a guard protects your knuckles from striking against the ice while climbing ice walls.

Handlebar Bag






Revolutionized the way we carry our stuff: this absolutely fashionable set of bags. What is the best about this products from our point of view is the combination of elegancy and convenience!

Catchy Billboard






Imagine a billboard that actually attracts your attention in a physical way! That is exactly the thing this billboard is doing, by kind of grapping your coat with a vaccuum surface. It is rather impossible not to notice the board anymore, as you think that somebody touches you. Very smart idea and hopefully fun for the user.

Origami Teabag




It is always touching when somebody can see the fragility of beauty in common things, let alone creating it.

Moonstream






The NASA Moonstream concept is a proposal designed by Anthony Sims, a student of Art Center College of Design. This is a heavily vehicle inspired by nature like the defensive shell of a tortoise. The wheels have the capability to move slowly like an insect and are completely adjustable for height and track. From inside, the vehicle is styled to offer a comfortable living space with latest communication technologies.


Knowledge: the fun theory 
Mostly something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behavior for the better. Be it for yourself, for the environment, or for something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that it’s change for the better. Check those funny experiments below! The Fun Theory is an initiative from VW.

The Piano Stairs
"Take the stairs instead of the escalator or elevator and feel better” is something we often hear or read in the Sunday papers. Few people actually follow that advice. Can we get more people to take the stairs over the escalator by making it fun to do? See the results here:

Bottle Bank Arcade Machine
Many of us return our plastic bottles and cans. Noticeably fewer recycle their glass. Maybe that's because we don't get any money in return, as we do for cans and plastic. Can we change this attitude by making recycling glass fun to do? So you are not just rewarded with a good conscience, you also get a smile. See the results here:

The World's Deepest Bin
To throw rubbish in the bin instead of onto the floor shouldn’t really be so hard. Many people still fail to do so. Can we get more people to throw rubbish into the bin, rather than onto the ground, by making it fun to do? See the results here.

Design Quickstart 
The Design Quickstart is an excellent way to start with product development and industrial design.

It is a flexible and clear project in order to give your ideas for a new product a jump start, with focus on the analysis of your situation, the user, design and concept.

Quality Design
In this way you can work with our creative team for the first time, have yourself surpriced by new solutions, posibilities and quality design.

Low risk
You have no obligations, after the completion of the project you can have us do the further development of the product, but you could also do it yourself or ask a third party to do it. You have weekly insight in the progress and financial situation of the project.

Innovation Labs 
Maybe you want more success with your design and product development and achieve more with less budget. Or maybe you are looking for new lateral needs of your clients or consumers, in order to develop new markets.

Maybe you seek advice on your product portfolio and market position, and come up with new interesting new products.

Bluelarix Labs combines both business, psychological and design knowledge. We assist in finding quickly needs of users, testing ideas, building quick systems in order to test with users, find new market opportunities and build the right design strategy for your product portfolio. By those quick analyses and prototyping we swiftly find a clear picture on the direction of the concepts, on promising new products, on the right interaction, on added value. And that while we did not yet start the development project.

If you as a user meet any products that you find to have design mistakes, or products that irritate your, please send us a photo and a short description to address: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it


Save food from the fridge


This time we would like to stay for a while in astonishment before the concept of a young designer called Jihyun Ryou, devoted to the age-old food preservation wisdom from our forfathers. It is indeed such a wonderful, thought-through concept… the word is to the designer:

«My design looks at re-introducing and re-evaluating traditional oral knowledge of food preservation, which is closer to nature. By observing the food and therefore changing the notion of food preservation, we could find the answer to the current situation such as overuse of energy and waste of food. This series of knowledge shelves is basically made out of breathing natural material, wood. Each shelf has knowledge of food preservation to make the taste better against chilling injury from the refrigerator. Also, it invites people to enjoy the beauty of their food ingredients and observe them to understand. My design is a tool to implement knowledge in a tangible way and slowly it will change the bigger picture of society. I believe that once people are given a tool that triggers their minds and requires mental effort to use it, new traditions and new rituals can be introduced in our culture”.

The designer shares great ideas of keeping the eggs fresh by putting them into liquid, teaches us that a symbioses of apples and potatoes works mutually life prolonging, demonstrates a beautiful way to keep herbs dry and tasty and how to provide the right humidity for carrots by keeping them vertically in sand! And above all it is a very beautiful aesthetical concept.
