SPOO is a design by Paul Sandip. SPOO is an ergonomical utensil that is an answer to prayer for parents of little ones. The twisted design, which is both comfortable to use for right and left handed parents, allows you to grasp the feeding spoon without having to use any twisting movements of the wrist. The SPOO tip is soft enough for even swollen little gums.

It’s like playing a card game! Sort of. . . The Game Card remote enables you to control volume and change channels all via card playing like gestures. Sliding your thumb up and down in the center raises/lowers volume. Sliding the top card over a tad changes channel. Sliding it all the way takes you on a wild channel surf.

Contrary to belief, city water nowadays is quite safe and clean to drink. What you smell and taste are trace minerals in pipes. It won’t kill you but the stigma is damning. The BottomsUp concept is a portable water purifier. You fill any PET type bottle with water, screw on the top and like Brita (or Pur), what comes out is a whole lot better tasting.

According to many European Pediatricians, it is safest and best for the baby to be carried in a horizontal position. The new CYBEX iGO was designed for exactly that purpose. The CYBEX iGO baby carrier holds the baby snug and secure while lying down close to the mother’s body. After the baby is a year old, the iGO allows for vertical carrying of the baby- facing forward or facing towards the caregiver.

Powerstrips, outlets, cables; ugh it’s a mess! Even tho we live in an age where convenience is king, it seems there’s never the exact length extension cable you need. And how about that power outlet way in the corner? Who thought anybody would plug anything there? With Free Lines, choice is king and that means having your outlets where you want them without messy strands of cables left in its wake.

Instant Blossom was designed to simulate a real flower vase. A perfect gift to give that doesn’t require a lot of maintenance or a design to simply add life to an empty space in the home. Creating multi-dimensional space out of a flat compact package, simply by opening the package and spraying water onto the hydroponic flowers, you have an instant flower filled “vase”. When the package is left unfolded, it simulates a nice bouquet of flowers.
Designer: Ki-Seung Lee
Faucet Buddy is a cool little chrome gadget you latch onto you existing sink fixtures. It tells you how hot or cold the water is so those morning surprises are no more. Of course, just like any real buddy it’ll tell you if you’re a water rat; wasting our natural precious resources.
Designer: Baek Uyeol

The Saverclip is a clothespin like device that reads electric usage on any power cable it’s clipped onto. Say for example the slow cooker crock pot you leave on all day. How much power is it actually using and would the results make you change your mind to using something faster, like a pressure cooker?
Designer: Lee Young Don
Snap! It’s a USB flash drive that looks like a domino but the disguise serves a purpose. Each white dot denotes 1 gig of memory used. Not sure how useful that is but at least you’ll be ready for an impromptu street corner game of dominos.
Designer: Marcos Breder
Oh look, another use for RFID tags! The WineTeller is a fancy wine opener smart enough to read RFID enabled corks! The embedded LCD display translates “wine language” into laymen terms because not everybody knows what a coulure or vignoble means.
