Utilizing a flexible Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) touch screen, Blank is based on the principle that the device that you carry with you most often should reflect your personality as much as the clothes you wear, car you drive or music you listen to. Since those may evolve from season to season, your phone needs to accommodate that.

These speakers take on a shape inspired by symbols used to express sound. When designing hi-fi speakers you are almost totally controlled by the laws of acoustics. But if you follow the technical requirements you find that certain shapes have advantages when designing the housing. The cone shape is one of these. This shape also has a basic, practical aspect. When placed in the corner of a room, the speaker emits sound diagonally upward, towards the center of the room.

Von Zios is a unisex watch that can be transformed into a table clock. Besides showing the time, Von Zios is also a companion to the user during their journey, in the office and also at home. Every unit is interconnected by a cylindrical tube to enable the watch to be flexible and thus able to be worn by the user. In order to make the watch stand, two units need to be snapped together. This will make the watch strap rigid and therefore it able to stand on its own.

WaterAid and Arup’s drawing water challenge to find new ways to deal with water and sanitation issues has come up with some potentially winning ideas. The winning entry is ‘WatAir’ – a 96m, inverted pyramid array of panels that collects dew from the air and turns it into 48 litres of fresh water per day. Designed by a pair of architects, the implication of their scheme is that it could provide a constant supply of fresh water in polluted and remote areas in just about any climate.

Pocket Library – Flexible e-ink screens, as easy on the eyes as newsprint, will wirelessly grab the documents you need when you enter a meeting. You can then unfurl them on the train or switch over to the newspaper. Researchers at Dutch company Polymer Vision have created flexible circuitry that bonds to displays at low temperatures so that screens can bend without melting or breaking. Now they’re working on circuits for high-resolution 8-by-11-inch displays.

Three rectangular objects that are made of strands of fibreglass now hang in the central lobby of the new building. Just like the original Bobbin Lace Lamp, they provide light without the use of bulbs. The light is produced in a hidden box and transported by the strands of fibreglass until it reaches the end of the object. In this way the entire construction of woven strands of glassfibre becomes a source of light in its own right.
