The Axess is one board with a split personality. It can transform into a snowboard or moutainboard which is sorta like a skateboard on steroids. Of course switching from one to the other requires some fiddling around with screws and such. Too bad there isn’t a button I can press to make it transform. Yea I know, too many episodes of Inspector Gadget.

Who says coffins have to be grand and morbid? The Kista Coffin takes a whimsical approach to something that most people don’t realize is a huge industry. The lid is accented with little yellow hearts but wait, this isn’t a coffin for people. It’s a coffin for your feathered ones – you know the ones that squawk at 6 AM every morning.

Egg: the name conjures up images of birth and nature. A nature observed through the eyes of a designer, Nanna Ditzel, who was particularly gifted in interpreting its inspirational values.
Egg is now 50 years old and its reassuring and soft swing still charms those who look for relaxation and cocooning, pleasures to savour during a brief pause or a long break.

These glasses have the flute and stem but are missing the stand. That’s because you’re supposed to stick them in the stand when not in use. The sand you ask? Yes, they were designed for hot Swedish summers at the beach.

A decorative, wind-powered lighting product, which harnesses the power of the wind, from whichever direction it blows, to create a simple yet magical visual effect with a universal appeal. Firewinder’s technology elegantly ‘transforms wind into light’ to enable the visualization of the abundantly free energy in the wind as an ‘endless upwardly spiraling helix of light’.
Designer: Tom Lawton
I’m sure golf is a great game and all but it’s not for everyone. Some people prefer to stick to the sand and surf instead of the sun and green so why not bring the best of both worlds together? Why can’t we play golf at the beach?

When we think of urban spaces, it’s often about efficiency. Beauty usually plays no role in the design so the Ondine Bench is a perculiar concept. The smooth organic shape can be created by combining identical modules and arranging them into a circle. They provide a fun way for people to sit – some higher, some lower.
Designer: Michael Bihain & Cedric Callewart
Two way radio for surfers. The idea is that surfers are separated from currents and riding waves. This radio allows the surfers to keep in touch with each other. It also gives the surfer up to the minute information about the tide using GPS. The radio is also to be used to locate injured surfers.

Hey ladies, are you tired of luggage looking like it was design by men for men only? If you answered yes then the Jibo might just be the ticket. Jibo is designed to fit your personal style. The exterior can be changed to match your outfit. Knitted fabrics, leather, texture – you name it.
Designer: Wu Jiao
Hey, remember the last time you went hiking and thought to yourself, “darn I wish I brought a sandwich, and some salad, maybe some juice too”? We’re relegated to only carrying nothing more than a protein bar and water. Now if you had the picnic-for-one, you could bring a whole meal as a little snack or reward to enjoy the view atop the summit.
Designer: Roger Kellenberger
Show of hands who have shoved their feet into their sneaker quickly, thus creasing the heel turning them into mules? It can’t only just be me because Sofie Collin’s research into the Nike brand revealed it’s something people, particularly women want.

Nowadays if you have a house, it’s reasonable to assume you have a lawn, and that means you need equipment to keep it manicured. Unfortunately that can be costly so Gustav Landberg designed one machine that does the job of 3; a mower, leaf collector, and snow blower. The concept is perfect for first time home owners and for people short on storage space.
Designer: Gustav Landberg
