Hasta La Ideas

As simple as it is, the classic fire extinguisher is intimidating and confusing to use. It’s also cumbersome and large, meaning most people won’t keep it handy (if they keep one at all). The Fireguard was created to combat these problems with a compact, easier to use, friendly design that’s right at home in the kitchen where most fires start. See how it works —>

Fireguard is activated with a motion much more natural than pulling a pin- instead, simply pull the lever and you’re ready to go. The inside is also assembled with two separate canisters, allowing them to be individually refilled or recycled, so nothing has to be thrown away anymore.

iPhones, due to their massive production volumes, cannot afford to wear a design that reflects the personality of its individual users. Hence the uni-sexual, personality neutral, clean geometric design. Legit. But why should its third party aftermarket accessories mimic the same impersonal design? Even when the novelty factor associated with the iphone form is wearing off? In a market flooded with M’apple ( I’m Apple too! ) products, the ‘Infinity Dock, is a breath of fresh air. Unlike their metrosexual counterparts, this sharp featured, meched up, all metal iPhone dock is unapologetically masculine in a refined manner.

Designed by Thomas Wietecki and Zack Cram, the Infinity Dock is intended to be a mechanical desktop sculpture. Manufactured at their own machine shop, the two piece Aluminum dock comes in multiple finishes and colors. A finely knuckled anodized aluminium screw holds the unique door mechanism for cable management. Its micro suction pads enable firm grip on smooth surfaces and the custom mini USB port enables the dock to serve your other devices too.

The minimalistic Fling lamp mixes new and old technology in a simplistic L-shaped luminaire that’s right at home on any wall. The hybrid design combines energy-efficient LED technology with a traditional Swedish wooden veneer. Together they create a beautiful conical illumination with a warmer, subtle glow against the veneer.

YD’s resident Design Strategist Hideshi Hamaguchi, who also happens to be the innovator of the USB Stick will be pleasantly surprised to see his vision take on such a productive form. dataSTICKIES are the next generation of data portability. They are graphene-based flash drives that replace USB data drives.

dataSTICKIES can be carried like a stack of sticky-back notes; each of them can be simply peeled from the stack and stuck anywhere on the ODTS (Optical Data Transfer Surface), which is a panel that can be attached to the front surface of devices like computer screens, televisions, music systems, etc. The device uses a special conductive adhesive that sticks them to the ODTS and serves as the medium that transfers the data.

Specs:

• The special low-tack, pressure-sensitive adhesive is capable of being reused without leaving marks like a repositionable note.
• When the dataSTICKIES are being read by the device, their edges light up.
• The dataSTICKIES come in various colors and patterns that make data segregation according to type and size easier.
• They can be stacked and used together for increased capacity, which also enables carrying them together.
• The top surface can be written on.
• If a file needs to be given to someone, a single sticky can be handed out rather than an entire pen drive.
• The dataSTICKIES are not easily lost because they can be stuck down on any object.

dataSTICKIES is a 2013 Red Dot Award: Design Concept winner.

Designers: Aditi Singh & Parag Anand
