Look it’s all about me me me. I don’t want to stand in the back. I want to be center front. I want to be a star. So why is it only one person gets to experience that “oooOo” moment when opening a champagne bottle? Everyone circles around as they hear the distinctive “pop” of cork freeing itself from glass. Why can’t everyone experience this moment?

When awards are handed out, it is usually for excellence in a particular field. Well if there was an award for best award, this new award called “DesignNu” would win the award for most clever award. This take-away object of commemoration is handed out biannually for outstanding Swedish design. The trophy was designed by Form Us With Love and the basic idea of its design is to allow the winner to mould as many trophies as he/she likes.

I don’t know about you guys but I am getting tired of seeing adults walking around with cups of coffee and those silly little sippy cup to-go tops. We are grown ups, can’t we all manage to drink our coffees or teas on the go without spilling it all over ourselves? What are we 6 years old? Laurent Corio has added a little taste of elegance and maturity to a commonly used convenience.

Praise the heavens! Next time you’re hosting a party you won’t have to buy those disposable plastic cups and plates. Designer Oksana Bazanova has provided an alternative. It’s cheap, environmentally friendly, and looks great. Inspired by the Japanese art of Origami, It’s envisaged that these crockery pieces are all purchased from the local supermarket as flat sheets of waterproof paper and folded by the user on an as need basis.

The Adi-block sunblock by Adidas doesn’t do anything other sunblocks can’t. Hey, it provides basic UV protection so why are we posting here? I’m fascinated by the branding and how the designers have managed to extend it from packaging (where branding usually stops) to the delivery mechanism; three nozzles dispensing the product. It’s a small feature but certainly a strong one.

Listen, you are not in college any longer and it’s about time you started cleaning up your act. Stop wearing the same underwear more than two days in a row, learn to cut your finger nails and not consider them a food group, and certainly stop drinking your “de-stresser” out of the bottle. While we wait for you to actually use soap and water to clean your dishes, we present the “Vinho Verde” wine bottle concept.

In 2006, Johnson and Johnson turned to Harry Allen & Associates to re-design the First Aid Kit. Although it is one of Johnson and Johnson’s most iconic products, after years of cost engineering the First Aid Kit had been reduced to a disposable clear plastic case – gone were the memorable designs of yesteryear. The design was simple, to give the First Aid Kit a dynamic new form.

In the last decade public education departments have increasingly made an effort to replace the notorious student diet of chips and soda. Their goal is to provide a more balanced meal with higher nutritional values. One of the toughest battles have been with soda. It is a high priority to replace this non-nutritional drink with more healthier choices such as natural fruit juices and water.

The Luxe Pack cosmetic set consists of a retail design for a powder compact with a mirror and an applicator, as well as a matching lipstick container. The three main elements (mirror, powder housing and applicator) dictate the form of the ‘Y’ shape. The final design consists of two separate shells, which house the inner components. These halves swivel by way of a center spindle exposing the cosmetics.
