If you’re a slave to your desk like me, you know what it’s like to daydream about getting a little exercise during the week and will appreciate this design. Introducing Fitness@Work- the perfect chair for keeping your blood flowing throughout the workday! For those big guns a central mainspring/handle combo is built into the core of the chair for a great arm resistance workout. Need to work on those 6 pack abs? Lean the seat-back to the floor, tuck your feet behind the stabilizers and…you get the idea. Neeeeed this!

Designer: Benjamin Cselley

Let’s Rethink The Battery

When you are changing batteries in your remote control, one of the primary concerns is to make sure that they don’t roll off the table and fall down. This may sound like a comic situation right now, however it happens to almost every one of us. So is coming up with a hexagonal shape the answer; is Hive the answer to this problem? According to the designers, Hive’s unique shape make them roll-safe and save a lot on packaging and shelf space. I believe there is a reason why those AA’s are round, if there were merit to the hexagon, Duracell and the likes would have picked up on it. What do you think?

Easy To End!

I love packaging designs that are subtle and yet make a world of a difference. For example this wavy Cellotape may not seem so brilliant at the moment, but for a mother who covers endless notebooks in brown paper at one go, this is a definitely a boon. Invariably the end of the tape just fuses to the circle and is hard to find! ‘Tape with Easy-to-Find End’ is just that…..easy! Yeah, dispensers are an option, but folks like me are stubborn, scissors and tape is the only way for us!

This is a 2011 Sparks Awards entry.

What A Wave

The Eaux Eaux sink is quite a take on the oceanic wave! Its simple form, in one fluid motion, integrates the spout into the basin. It’s like the flow and ebbing of the waves in a synchronized dance. The base is secured into a recessed counter top while the stainless steel body is glam-ed up with a blush of paint. The overall effect is perfect!

Eaux Eaux is a Bathroom Innovations Award entry.

A Bluetooth I’d Wear

It’s about time the Bluetooth headset shed the nerd-factor! This design by Erjon Hatillari was inspired by the simplicity of the Sony Vaio’s On/Off button and is almost as small. Using the same unique color scheme as the Vaio, the rechargeable earpiece’s chrome detail glows green during a call and orange when charging. In the form of a single earbud with one large button control, this design combines easy-to-use functionality with basic ergonomics into one sharp looking earpiece.

A Bouncy Bath!

The Bathboard is a too-good-to-be-true design. It has all the makings of an excellent bathtub; one, which folds up and holds enough water for a good soak. But my only worry is that will the framework take the weight of water + the person using it? For the moment lets just consider this, the tub is made from foam rubber treated to be very elastic and spongy. It weighs less than 3 kgs and juts out only 12-cms from the wall. A flexible drainpipe starts above the central point of the tub, making it easy to fold up. So back again to my question, can we have this design workable for the cause of bathing luxury in limited spaces? If yes, then I surely want one.

The Bathe is a very well thought-out and planned bathtub design. It has accessories and attachments that can be customized as per each family member’s requirements to suit their needs, without any additional fuss. The amazing number of storage and accessibility options makes it the ultimate space-saving fitting! Simply superb!

The Bathe is 2011 Reece Bathroom Innovations Award winner in the professional category.

The Rose Lamp by Benjamin Parton takes the common ceiling rose, a familiar decorative element of Victorian homes, and turns it upside down… literally. The often overlooked piece becomes the base of this elegant design that might just make you wonder which way is up and which way is down!

CKIE Spotlight: The Duet Vibrator

UPDATE: after two short days of being live on CKIE they’ve met their goal of $15K!

There are vibrators out there, hidden in the back of closets and then there is The Duet. In an age where it is acceptable to be expressive about your sexual preferences, many women still find the need to conceal something as basic as this. While it’s hard to explain the reason behind the thinking, it’s easier to empower them with a device that is discreet, elegant, sensual and the ultimate pleasure trove. It’s time to bed The Duet!

Crafted from high quality body safe silicone and metal, what makes the Duet a unique vibrator is its appearance. Designer Ti Chang dares to bring us a device that looks nothing like the conventional form. I’m sure if I carry this to my next girls’ night out, none of my girlfriends will be able to guess what it is. Of course, features like USB charging, waterproof, virtually silent dual motors, 4 vibration modes and 5 power levels are good enough to take us on the trip to the big-O!

I feel like a giddy schoolgirl who is up to some conspiracy and mischief, but imagine charging the Duet on my laptop nonchalantly! How wild is that! To up it a notch, there is an 8 GB Duet Lux version which features data storage. Makes me wonder what I will store in it!

I am excited about this new liberating experience that Crave is ready to offer women. However to get it from the drawing board to the market there is the step of tooling and manufacturing costs that they need to consider. Backing this project will empower the woman in your life (or you) to be in charge of her needs without any hassles.

You can pledge with a CKIE Special Offer of $75 that gets you a USB Rechargeable Duet, which otherwise retails for $139. The 8 GB Duet Lux (with 8GB Data storage) is for $125, which retails for $189. There are several other exciting options for CKIE Backers that you might want to check out, but all offers are available only for a very limited period of time. Get Going!

Designer: Ti Chang for Crave on CKIE

Scanning Watch

Inspired by scanning devices for scanning targets in sci-fi movies, the Sonar Watch has three themes – blue for sonar, green for radar, and red for a scanner interface. The time is shown as three targets which are lit up. By pressing a button, a radar/sonar/scanner animation will play. The dots represent the hour, minutes and seconds. Cool, novel design. Definitely something I could see Tokyoflash selling.
