Electronic Cigarette Helps You Stop Smoking

Electronic Cigarette Helps You Stop Smoking

It feels like a cigarette, looks like a cigarette but it isn’t bad for your health. A Chinese company marketing the world’s first “electronic” cigarette hopes to double sales this year as it expands overseas and as some of China’s legions of smokers try to quit. Golden Dragon Group Ltd’s Ruyan cigarettes are battery-powered, cigarette-shaped devices that deliver nicotine to inhalers in a bid to emulate actual smoking.

The Kids Survival Kit by David Granath

The Kids Survival Kit by David Granath

The task was to identify a behaviour connected to food and from that design a product. Not to solve a problem but to bring light on the behaviour itself. The behaviour I picked was the battle between parent and child, where the parent try to control the child through the food and the child is testing boundries by refusing. This product aims to help the child overcome the parent.

Plant Growing Book by Eric Zhang

Plant Growing Book by Eric Zhang

Books are always considered as static objects in people’s mind, transferring through words, pictures and imagination they produce. To break this traditional impression, I embed some industrial design elements in this prose florilegium which name is “book on life”. People can plant whatever they like in the left side of the book, they should care for it and watch it grow.

The Pessimist’s Mug by Despair Studio

In these irrationally exuberant times, it’s getting harder and harder for the self-respecting pessimist to stay unhappy. So pervasive is the hope, so overwhelming the positivity, that without the firmest grip on your sullen perspective, you might actually lose it. Then one day, you wake up looking at the bright side, whistling some inane showtune, and generally annoying everyone around you.
