Yanko Design - Form Beyond Function |
Posted: 29 Sep 2017 11:00 AM PDT Whether it’s for architecture, product design, literature or music, the pencil has been the flint to the fire of creation for ages. However, times are changing and fewer and fewer people are sketching and writing. Designed as an homage to the pencil, the B&O Loudspeaker takes on the familiar form of the tip in an artistic, functional way. Like an old school knife-cut pencil, its hexagonal shape narrows gently from top to bottom. Though not immediately obvious to most, designers with a knack for drawing will recognize and appreciate this familiar fragment. Designer: Hojung Cha |
Posted: 29 Sep 2017 08:02 AM PDT Smart home security is evolving every year to become more discrete and have a more integrated feel to the home environment. It’s not an easy task at hand considering the variations of style one has for their own personal surroundings. The Halo Home Collection is the first of it’s kind to compliment your personal space – they even blend in with existing ornaments and tabletop gadgets you’ve got lying around. The Halo Home Collection is comprised of two models – Halo Classic and Halo Vantage. Both models coming complete with gigantic battery lives, smart image detection, built in alarm with 2-way talk and full mobile connectivity. The Halo Classic is more than just a smart camera, what makes this camera special are it’s features – a fully wireless experience and a battery life that lasts up to 6 months long, 6 MONTHS! The Classic is designed to look and feel like a premium product with it’s choice of sophisticated material choices and elegant forms, chosen to compliment the aesthetic of any living space. The Halo Vantage is the only in-ceiling smart camera. Disrupting the smart camera market once again with the Vantage, Halo have taken a different perspective on the at home, smart camera. The smartest aspect of the Halo Vantage is the ability to simply “install Halo Vantage into an existing recessed light fixture to achieve a superior point of view with a discreet appearance.” The Halo Vantage is a wireless design once again, however it gets its power from the mains, through the existing light bulb fitting – as well as having a back-up battery with 14 days of power in it. This is truly a discrete form of monitoring your house and keeping the place safe. Designers: Rob Chong & Brian Cox of HALO HOME PRE-ORDER |

Posted: 29 Sep 2017 12:06 AM PDT The latest in MICUNA’s lux line of playful children’s furniture, the Swing collection is a sophisticated set that looks right at home in any nursery or child’s room. The set of three consist of an armoire closet, dresser and crib. Though each piece is distinct in functionality, the collection becomes a cohesive unit through a common inverted V, solid wood support structure. The crib, however, is the only piece that is truly elevated and capable of swinging. Better yet, it can transform into a bed by removing the rails. This makes for a perfect transition for kids and extends the lifespan of the entire collection well into childhood. Designer: Vicent Peris for MICUNA |
Posted: 28 Sep 2017 04:23 PM PDT Safety is paramount when it comes to construction yet the accessibility to safety equipment can be limited or intended for specific use cases – this can make it troublesome when using the same equipment for a different job. Safety helmets are the biggest culprit for this overlap. Albeit advances have been made in the safety helmet area, they still are on a very use-case scenario. The Unit Helmet by Jaehoon Jung addresses this problem directly with his clean, sophisticated modular design. The Unit Helmet comes with an array of accessories that make reaching for another helmet a thing of the past. The Unit Helmet comes complete with a torch, ear muffs, sun visor and a face visor – facilitating the user when the need to use three accessories at any given time in a situation posing multiple risks. A use case would be – someone who’s in a poorly lit environment, underground and cutting metal – this would require a torch, an earmuff, and a face visor. Jung’s Unit Helmet is adaptable due to it’s six easily accessible female magnetic parts on the exterior of the helmet – making it easy to snap on and snap off any accessories when deemed necessary. The Unit Helmet may comprise of 4 accessories but is not limited to these – the demand of the construction site can vary from job to job so with that, more accessories may become available.
