Only Photogenic Pictures

"At times it’s the photographer’s fault that your picture came out weird and at times you’re plain ugly! Ha! So scrutinize and be in control over which picture of yours is groovy… With this funky digital camera that has two separate sections, one is the Lens part and the other the screen. Both stick together via magnets, but when someone wants to click pictures, the screen part detaches and is kept with the subject and the clicked shot comes over to the screen via wireless USB. This means crappy pictures can be dumped and only cool ones approved. The photographer doesn’t see what exactly he has clicked, so he’s pretty much clueless about the his photography skills. By Xi Zhu."

Induction Iron

"The brief was to optimize the application of BASF’s plastic material ULTRADUR and the result was an Induction Iron. Utilizing ULTRADUR’s heat resistant properties to his advantage, Therese came up with a bare minimal design that has been “stripped down to the essentials.” This cordless induction heating iron works through an electromagnetic field that transforms the energy directly and heats only the ironing plate. By Therese Glimskar."

Black Hole

"Black Hole is a rubbery elastic bag that folds flat when unused but can balloon up to gargantuan proportions when you stuff all your crap it in. The unique material is super strong, light, and flexible yet it’s thin enough to leave impressions of what you have inside. In a sense your hidden junk transforms into an art piece that can be proudly displayed. Of course this isn’t just for pack rats. Super organized people can find other uses for it too like laundry bags or as a great way to separate dry and wet clothes outings. By Nodesign Studio."

Multifunctional Battery

Qian Jiang and Yiying Wu bring you the IF-battery, a multipurpose, multifunctional rechargeable battery. it powers your devices and has pins on the side that pop out, and plug into a socket for recharging. This does eliminate the need for a recharging station, but it also means you can charge only one battery at a time.

Recycled corrugated cardboard with lined patterns to make for easy folding around weirdly shaped items while maintaining structure to protect its contents.
