Enjoy a colorful day!

‘Change it’— just as its name implies— is an innovative wall decoration that allows you to change its colors every minute. Each of the triangles used to make up the item has three different colors on their sides, including white, black and rainbow shade. Therefore, you can turn these triangles to form different pictures on the wall.

20100212601

Coming from the Greener Gadgets Design Competition, InCharge Battery Station is an all-in-one recharging device designed by Pensa. More than that, the device could automatically sort and juice all kinds of rechargeable batteries at one time.

Swirl is an interesting and functional washing alternative.

20100212501

Either carrying water from distant areas back to their home or taking heavy laundry to the rivers, housewives in developing countries really need to spend too much time washing the clothes. But that situation may be changed if they are to use the ‘Swirl’. It is a ball-shaped washing device, with a swirled sphere basket and lid inside it. As a result, the users could roll the ball from home to the source of water to get the dirty clothes washed. And when they arrive at the river, they could simply change the water and roll the washing ball back home to have the process of laundry completely done. Oh, and the handle screw-locked with the ball also allows you to easily pull or push the functional washing ball. [Read the rest of this entry...]

‘Experiencing the Void’ is an innovative concept put forward by JDS architects for the Guggenheim museum. It is based on Frank Lloyd Wright’ concepts of space, which believes that users will have a continuous spatial experience when walling up or down a spiral-shaped ramp. And therefore ‘Experiencing the Void’ is mainly about a trampoline net that spirals down from the museum’s ceiling to the floor. The playful concept not only provides a functional walking alternative, but will help enhancing the social relationship between people. [Read the rest of this entry...]
