A prime example of sophisticated design, the Amare looks like a luxury toy straight out of a James Bond flick. Stunning wood accents are met with polished handles, steering wheel, knobs and other fixtures in rich detail to create an elegant yet masculine aesthetic. For the thrill seeker inside, it also comes standard with a 350 HP water-jet engine. You couldn’t NOT feel sexy on this bad boy even if you tried!

Inspired by the rings of a tree, the organic shape and texture of the GVAL chair’s alternating sheets of plywood serve as a visual and tangible reminder of both nature and memory. Perfectly nested inside the hollow chair are 2 additional segments that can be used as footrests, or combined to form another chair. Magnifique!

Well… almost everything! This innovative mobile cooking concept provides a compact, all-in-one solution for preparing meals when there is no access to a kitchen. Made from a special shape-memory alloy, all utensils can be stored flat without losing their functionality. A great solution for catering teams, chefs, or business travelers who’d rather make their own meals than dine out when they’re away from home.

The Virtual Intelligent Projector is a brilliant concept and a very helpful aid to designers. Umpteen hours go into designing the packaging of a product and the impact can only be known after samples are printed. This device basically eliminates the process of printing a sample as it projects the virtual packaging label to the box. It can cast color drafts onto six sides of blank color box.

In the perfect world, a weighing machine would be my friend that displays ego-friendly numbers and makes me happy and light. Sadly, this isn’t the perfect world yet. It can become one, when the numbers are replaced by sketchy graphs that show if I have slightly gained weight or lost oodles. This is the world of The Weight Recorder, a machine that tackles weight-issues in a sensitive manner.

The highlight of the Cronos yacht is stunningly intricate woodwork that almost seems to grow from within the opulent interior and extend across spacious decks before pouring over into the water. The elaborate flooring and siding leaves little to be desired from additional furnishings. This is recognized in its otherwise minimal, albeit somewhat futuristic, interior and exterior. I’d never want to leave!
Designers: Simone Madella and Lorenzo Berselli
The FLIP chair is a modern and whimsical design for kids that is made from resistant, cushy foam that’s perfect (and safe) for playtime. The lightweight chair can be effortlessly flipped to change seating positions or tossed around just for fun!
Designer: Marco Hemmerling
The Osca Task Chair is the result of a study into how a seat could be designed to encourage active movement during a static task, such as desk work, versus current market designs that do little for the dynamic nature of the human body. A rocking base encourages movement and balance while contoured cushions embrace the form of the body for enhanced ergonomics. The final product is not only functionally healthy, but aesthetically distinct from the classic, banal office chair.
Designer: Jessica Cassar
So how about this, a chopping board that features strategic slits. Why? So that you can use the same board as an impromptu colander and rinse out the veggies without any fuss! Very helpful and a easy to store, this simplistic board is made with polypropylene, which is flexible and skid-proof.
Designers: Weng Hao-Gin & Ke Shiang-Yin
Love the simplicity of this door, which provides an emergency shelter during an earthquake. It collapses from the center to form a reinforced tent, under which you can huddle till the shockwaves subside. This door can be any door in the house and office. And if for a moment we keep aesthetics aside, just imagine how many people it can end up benefitting. Love it!

I am still coming to grips with cloud computing and storing all my data online, however this seems to be the direction the tech-world is taking and so gadgets must follow suit. We have here the Spider Computer, a portable device that relies on a projected screen and laser keyboard to offer you a ready computer on the go. It relies totally on the “cloud” factor and even doubles up as awkward phone.

The RSON8 is a touchscreen controller for aspiring DJ’s, talent required, although it does make mixing music a lot easier for noobs. The device has grooves where digital buttons appear allowing one to augment track(s) and levels. The screen also uses next generation tactile feedback substrates so you can literally feel the sliders. And if you’re still scratching your head as to how to pronounce it, try “resonate”. Hit the jump for a video.

The aluminum hull Cristiana yacht may be one of Hyun-Seok Kim’s smaller designs but it packs all the creature comforts of a full size super-yacht into just 13 meters. The exterior features extra wide decks situated higher than average for better looks and to maximize interior space. Inside, the normal location of the master bedroom (at the stern) and living room (at the bow).are switched to take advantage of the extra space for entertaining.
Designer: Hyun-Seok Kim
