This is just the 50 feet flybridge motor yacht that you need. That’s what I’m about to stand by. This lovemobile has three decks of elegance. Like the yacht I just wrote about a few days ago, this is another fabulous automotive-inspired boat machine from Motion Code Blue. It’s called the SENTORI 50 R in all caps, and it’s so very visually powerful. Believe it. It looks to be a coupe!

Antrepo is a whiz as far as churning out impersonation designs. Their Salt&Pepper Cell was simply delightful, and now joining the league is this “Traffitray”. The last leg to the “I’m not” product series”, this set of coasters scream I’m Not A Traffic Sign Tray! Crafted from shiny painted wood or colorful plastic, the color options include red, turquoise, green & Black&White. If you were to come up with similar impostors what would you make? Gimme wacky ones like an IV bag that’s a ketchup bottle kinds…

The designers for this Keystick – fan folding-style-keyboard, say that it’s a part of their None Bacteria Project – aimed at cutting down spread infections. Ah…I don’t buy the story of it being designed for personalized used so that you don’t contaminate your fingers. I’d much rather have it as this cool futuristic fan that I flip out of my purse and use it with my iPhone to update my latest posts. I’ll have mine in Pink Mr. Kim!

Mr. B is the newest way for doing dishes. It uses supersonic technology, helps conserve water and eliminates contamination of water via detergents. Its design has been inspired by a prehistoric creature (wanna guess which?), and has a nanotechnology coating for self-cleaning and keeping Bacteria at bay. The soft rubber brush is safe on all surfaces and the ergonomically shape gives a good grip. It comes with a wireless charging cradle, and the LED “eyes” reflect the battery life and status.

Let me just stop you right there. This thing is called the “Robotic Weapon”, but don’t be fooled! All this is really is a teleoperated MIl-Sim non-lethal paintball gun mounted on a 4-wheel-drive E-Maxx RC vehicle. Does that sound like anything you know? I remember a television show about these sorts of things I think. This lovely war machine’s alternate names are: “Kill Bot,” “Mega Hurtz,” “The Wireless Weapon,” and “SWAT BOT.”

While some of you design-savvy critics are vocal about your opinions on design, others use their subtle charms to let us know how the DESIGN SUCKS! A lot of products that are currently being sold on the YD Store were once mere concepts and we’d like to know if they were really worth the efforts? Did these products deserve to make it into the physical world or would it have been better left on the drawing board? We want to hear what you think!

Hail the mother of sustainability! Let me give thee a new offering! I hope you accept this humble submission of a wind-up mouse. Much like those cute toys that McDonalds doles out, at the expense of a Happy Meal! Only this one aptly christened Sustail, and it works in sync with a computer and keyboard. Wind the mouse with the key kept in its underbelly. Keep winding till you hear a distinct feedback of full charge…and then sussstaaillll…..

For some odd reason I have this feeling that most designers turn poets and philosophers when they get into the description of their products. For instance designer ShiKai Tseng makes complete poetical sense when he describes the relation between waste paper and recycling it into a vase. The philosophy behind the Moulding Paper Recycling Bin is to give meaning to our paper trash. Fair enough, but I’m still to find the logical, technical and feasible reasoning behind this. Can anyone help?
Designer: ShiKai Tseng
