Pingpong of the Future!

Posted on by

There are only two annoying things about playing pingpong… setting up the net and keeping score. Smart Net takes care of both in one simplistic solution!

This LED enabled net doubles as a score keeper by using infrared ray sensor recognition. Game stats are displayed directly on the optical fiber net so everyone knows just what the stakes are! Utilizing a flexible LED sheet and innovative winding system, it’s also easy to get going. Simply pull on the posts to unwind the net and attach them to the table sides as you would a regular table tennis set. Then, wind it up and throw it in your gym bag until next time!

Designers: Kim Juyoung, Choi Chang, & Prof. Baek Junghoon

3 Peas in a Charge

As useful as multi-tap power extensions might be, they will inevitably leave your wires a mess and your aesthetic a total wreck! The Arrangement PEA offers one simple solution for tidying up cables directly on the unit.

While the base is made from hard plastic, the cap covers are made with a malleable silicon material that can be easily flipped and inverted. To use the Arrangement PEA, simply flip the cover upwards to expose a spool – then, wind the wire around the spool before flipping the cover back into its original state. The wires will be hidden and kept clear of the surrounding area!

Arrangement PEA is a 2015 Red Dot Award winner.

Egg-cellent Egg-xecution!

Why bring modularity to complicated things like phones and furniture when egg trays need it the most?! The Dot Line egg tray has a unique structure that is accompanied by the fact that it has a dotted tear-away line running like a grid, separating eggs. Not only does this make it easier to purchase an irregular number of eggs (blessing in disguise), but it also allows you to optimize how you store them based on the availability of space. Apartments are getting cramped, with the population boom and all, and we’re running out of space for eggs in our life (drama alert)! Dot Line allows us to lay out eggs in a way that helps make optimal usage of free space. Plus the fact that the egg units can be stacked vertically is just a double whammy!

Dot Line Egg Tray is a Red Dot Design Award winner for the year 2015
