A Ride Down Easy Street

S3TR (pronounced “streeter”) is a personal transporter for urban areas that focuses around simple construction to save on cost without sacrificing fun. Riders feel as though they are flying or skiing as they shift and tilt from side to side to control direction and propel forward. Its not only ideal for getting around locally, but  foldable and transportable for switching between S3TR and public transportation or a car.

This Hammer Will Hurt ‘Em

The Hammer in Hand concept integrates a clever window-shattering hammer, which can be used in case of an emergency situation in a train or a bus. Coming from a state where such accidents occur on a regular basis, it will be reassuring to know that safety implements like this are easily deployable by commuters. With a few tweaks here and there, I’m sure we can build this idea into something bigger and efficient.

The Minimalist Coffee Brewing Scale

Fresh roasted beans, a nice dripper and fine-tuned grinder are great, but serious coffee drinkers know that using a scale rather than measured scoops is the only way to achieve the elusive perfect cup! For ease of use and cleanliness, the Acaia scale uses responsive, waterproof, touch-sensitive buttons and a flat, silicon bottom rather than extended feet to enhance it’s minimal look. Better yet, there’s an iPhone app that will not only show the weight, but keep track of brew time and coffee recipes!

Puzzle Pots

Generic terracotta and cement planter pots do little to save space with their conical shapes, making them less than ideal for compact living spaces. The Ma-ce-ta series resolves this issue with a collection of pots in varied size and geometric shape that fit together like a puzzle. The modular series makes it possible to create an indoor garden that’s custom-taylored to spatial requirements while it’s clean, minimal, white aesthetic compliments a variety of interior styles.

Custom Nikes Installation

The Nike iD Experience is about taking interactive design to the next level – an approach to a completely hands-on design process inspired by the ubiquitous alphabet letters found on refrigerators! You know, the little letters that eventually form words? With an array of handcasted polyurethane pieces that make up the Nike SB Dunk Hi, it’s up to the viewers to create their own masterpiece.

Sammy’s Got A Smartwatch Now

The Samsung YOUM Smartwatch concept features a flexible AMOLED screen and looks very sexy. Hosting the latest software features like Google Now, which is always listening for the ‘Ok Google’ command, is quite an added bonus. The interface seems to display Google Glass like information cards with important notifications visible readily on the home screen of the device. Kinda reminds me of the Sony concept here.

In a seriously limited edition of just 15 pieces, the Purisme is one example of the high tech material’s limitless uses and technical perfection. It’s a distinct, dynamic, designer, desktop object that’s sure to let everyone know who’s boss.

Beautifully Crafted, Genuinely Useful

The Access case for iPhone and iPad protects, showcases and compliments your device’s form to enhance rather than impair its functionality. A minimal leather design wraps around the exterior while suede microfiber and a single leather strap on the interior serve as a convenient utility pocket. Best of all, the case uses “micro-suction” technology to keep your phone in place, making it super easy to remove when you don’t need the case! See how it works ->
