Double The Warmth

Posted on by

Inspired by the Asian idea that the earth was square and heaven was round, the Double Warm Multi-functional and Energy-efficient Coal Stove was conceptualized. It is designed to have a water-storage volume surrounding the furnace so that you can boil water while you use the stove for cooking. This hot water can be used for bathing etc. Nice idea, especially since it is aimed for the energy-starved counties where resources are expensive and scarce.

Safe Luggage Travels

Posted on by

The Luggage Sitter is a refinement of the “Easy Lock” we saw earlier. Designed by two different teams, it’s a great way to compare how different designers approach the same problem with varied yet similar solutions. The refinement according to me is in the way the lock has been designed to be more flexible.

  • The redesign of the retractable suitcase handle allows it to be used as a lock.
  • When needed, the handle can be pulled out from the retracting framework, folded over, and locked onto the framework.
  • Flexible cords, which connect the handle and framework, can secure the suitcase to an armrest or similar structure.

Luggage Sitter is a 2013 red dot award: design concept winner.

Toasty Barbeque

Posted on by

I love the versatility of the Different Oven; it affords you having 2 appliances packaged as one. In one mode you get to use it as a regular toaster and crisp your bread. And if you switch it to the other mode, it fans out open to do some yummy barbeques and grilling. You can even do some eggs on it for breakfast; basically use it for more than just browning your bread! How awesome!

Saving The Sinking

Posted on by

The Safe Guard is a life buoy to be used by people who don’t know how to swim, but need to help rescue a drowning person. Ok, so the scene may sound complicated in your mind’s eye when you read this, but the truth is that it is a plausible scenario. The main body of the buoy is anchored to the shore and the lifesaver inflates as soon as it touches water. It’s kind of a first reaction to an emergency situation kinda thing.

The Safe Guard is a 2012 Liteon Award winner.

Designers: LiuYi, Xu Wei, Meng Luhua & Li Ke
