Sleeed is a horizontal nesting chair, which is inspired by the sled. The design ensures that the chairs slide easily and stack compactly with no need for lifting. The legs of the chair are fashioned like the edge of a sled, just for the functional effect. The chairs can maximize one’s floor space by stacking compactly.

The Easy Sketch is a transparent drawing pad, which allows you to trace and sketch views during your outdoor trip. You don’t need to be the best of artists but just have the knack of thinking imaginatively. The pad is capable of combining different views into one painting, and incorporates color and brushworks. A good and engaging alternative to the digicam!

The Sensi Standmixer is an exploration into stretching the versatility of appliances to go beyond the confines of the kitchen. Instead of standing over the food item being processed, the user can remove the top portion of the device to monitor its progress via a camera and display connected over WiFi. Control the time, temperature, speed and more remotely from the comfort of the couch or while doing other household chores!

Designed for the seeing-impaired, the Touch It watch makes it possible to feel rather than view time on its face. Hours and minutes are represented by raised bumps that rotate underneath a flexible surface, providing a tactile way of reading the time. While it was designed primarily for the blind, it’s also a great way to check the time without being rude!

These speakers celebrate and take inspiration from the natural world, using biomimicry for enhanced audio and aesthetics. Soundwhale surround sound provides multidirectional audio in the form of a whale passing through a wave while the Fishead focused speaker is a skeletal interpretation of the mouth of a fish where sound emanates. Composed of matte ceramic, polished titanium and oak wood, they’re an elegant compliment to entertainment systems anywhere from your boat to your beach house.

The Z-Refrigerator is a refrigerator, which has the function of professional cook’s fridge and is the size of a double-door fridge. It is has the Z structure; when door is opened to the left, there is a large space, and to the right is a space where drinks and instant food can be stored. The fridge also saves energy by minimizing the amount of cold air escaping at once. I think I like it more for its funky design more than anything else!

Yes, pets mess up the lawns, driveways, hallways…almost everywhere. And all we can think of doing is getting rid of the dump asap. If we take a step back and look at the alternative then the ‘Convertor of Pet Waste’ doesn’t sound like a bad option. The device basically converts the pet’s dump into a useful biological fertilizer.

The skinny on this minimal lighting design by Terrance Seah is just that…. it’s skinny! The Cloudline lamp sets the mood with diffused LED light that emits upwards from its thin, linear structure. Lightweight and technically simple, it’s both easy to mount and easy to operate with its touch sensitive dimmer. It’s a great way to efficiently illuminate any space with little disruption to the aesthetic of rooms in minimal style.

As far as kitchen appliances go, we have seen very little action with the hand blender. Limited innovations mean a lot of scope for improvement; maybe this is why I fancy this Mini Hand Blender concept. It’s an all-in-one deal that can be operated with one hand. The rechargeable unit can be turned on or off with the flick of the wrist. The Blender case, Blender, and mixing bowl are designed as a single unit so that the blades are kept hygienically stored and safe.

The Moop is a mopping system that not only helps clean up the room but also uses technology to its advantage. The electronic bucket has the capability of recycling the murky water, sanitizing it again for reuse. Although the designers have not explained the workings of this mop, but imagining a system where simple methods for recycling and reusing the water sounds like a good ‘green’ idea.
