The latest expansion of Albert Salamon’s collection of Pebble watchfaces is even more perplexing than the last! The puzzling faces are not only aesthetically unique but they make for an entertaining way of telling the time. You’ll get no hints from us! See if you can decipher each one!

We never get a chance to see how the hot and cold water blend together within the faucet, before it cascades out like a stream. The Pavati Tap builds upon this element, to showcase how beautifully the two streams of water can create drama whilst you wash your hands. A Y-shaped waterfall effect mixes the cold and hot water into a single mutual waterfall, for your viewing pleasure. Sweet!

The Pop Up Bass is a playful take on the bass speaker that makes clever use of the low frequency vibrations emitted during playback. Lightweight styrofoam balls react to the vibrations and go wild when you crank it up! They stay in sync with the beat, moving to the music and creating a visual experience in addition to the high quality audio.

The Synaesynth is a twist on the synthesizer that transforms the colors of your life into audible sound. The combination hardware/software translates imagery directly into music by pulling color data from a video feed, allowing the user to determine the input. The result is an interesting simulated “synaesthetic” experience! See it in action ->

S3TR (pronounced “streeter”) is a personal transporter for urban areas that focuses around simple construction to save on cost without sacrificing fun. Riders feel as though they are flying or skiing as they shift and tilt from side to side to control direction and propel forward. Its not only ideal for getting around locally, but foldable and transportable for switching between S3TR and public transportation or a car.

The Hammer in Hand concept integrates a clever window-shattering hammer, which can be used in case of an emergency situation in a train or a bus. Coming from a state where such accidents occur on a regular basis, it will be reassuring to know that safety implements like this are easily deployable by commuters. With a few tweaks here and there, I’m sure we can build this idea into something bigger and efficient.

Fresh roasted beans, a nice dripper and fine-tuned grinder are great, but serious coffee drinkers know that using a scale rather than measured scoops is the only way to achieve the elusive perfect cup! For ease of use and cleanliness, the Acaia scale uses responsive, waterproof, touch-sensitive buttons and a flat, silicon bottom rather than extended feet to enhance it’s minimal look. Better yet, there’s an iPhone app that will not only show the weight, but keep track of brew time and coffee recipes!

Generic terracotta and cement planter pots do little to save space with their conical shapes, making them less than ideal for compact living spaces. The Ma-ce-ta series resolves this issue with a collection of pots in varied size and geometric shape that fit together like a puzzle. The modular series makes it possible to create an indoor garden that’s custom-taylored to spatial requirements while it’s clean, minimal, white aesthetic compliments a variety of interior styles.

The Nike iD Experience is about taking interactive design to the next level – an approach to a completely hands-on design process inspired by the ubiquitous alphabet letters found on refrigerators! You know, the little letters that eventually form words? With an array of handcasted polyurethane pieces that make up the Nike SB Dunk Hi, it’s up to the viewers to create their own masterpiece.
Designer: Anthony Hart & Nike SB
The Samsung YOUM Smartwatch concept features a flexible AMOLED screen and looks very sexy. Hosting the latest software features like Google Now, which is always listening for the ‘Ok Google’ command, is quite an added bonus. The interface seems to display Google Glass like information cards with important notifications visible readily on the home screen of the device. Kinda reminds me of the Sony concept here.

We often associate carbon fiber with things like wild sports cars and supersonic jets, but what if this modern material was applied to an everyday object… say… like a letter opener?!

It’s a distinct, dynamic, designer, desktop object that’s sure to let everyone know who’s boss.
Designer: Mario Zeppetzauer

Watch it come to life from concept to construction ->
