Hasta La Ideas

As humans, we’re naturally inclined to think “that could never happen to me,” especially when it comes to getting lost! Despite our egos, emergency situations do happen so having the right safety equipment is key. Designed specifically for hiking, the Sound of Light whistle provides novice and expert hikers with an additional level of visible and audible protection. The super bright LED and ear-shattering whistle serve as a beacon for rescuers while a built-in compass helps hikers navigate their way out of danger.

If there’s one company that can create an entirely new console to go up against the big 3 (Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation) it’s gotta be Google. Joseph Dumary’s Nexus Orbit concept console sheds light on how exactly the device might look and behave. Aesthetically, it’s inspired by contemporary architecture, but technologically you can expect it to include integration with Google Glasses, Google Play as well as access to Google’s amazing search, maps, video, and drive features. Check out the vid for more on Orbit!

Who doesn’t love the idea of a transparent screen?! Many modern conceptual watch designs feature this interesting visual element, but few remember the age-old material that’s adorned wrists for centuries…. leather! The LIP watch applies modern transparent tech with a hand stitched leather band for a comfortable and familiar aesthetic that’s not limitingly futuristic.

When Thomas Ingenlath decided last year to take the position of senior vice president of design at Volvo, he began asking anyone he encountered to describe Volvo cars in a single word. The prevailing response: “nice.” “Not iconic or cutting edge,” notes Ingenlath, who previously headed up the Volkswagen Design Center in Potsdam, Germany. His first design sets out to change all that. “This is how Volvos will taste from now on,” says Ingenlath of the Volvo Concept Coupe (pictured), a bold two-seater that will be launched in Frankfurt next week after a hush-hush sneak peek this week in Gothenburg, Sweden.

“The last few years, car design has become increasingly standardized…and too often defined by cluttered and overly complex design,” he explains. “While other brands try too hard to look luxurious and muscular, Volvo Cars will stand out as the calm, confident, and naturally powerful challenger.” With new proportions and a face full of design elements (a floating grill, cow horns in the lower front) that reference the classic Volvo P1800, the new coupe is the first in a series of three concept cars that will each represent the next generation of Volvo models, starting with the New Volvo XC90 that is due out next year. As for the jaw-dropping interior, with its luxe leather instrument panel and hand-carved wood inlays, credit goes to design director of interior, Robin Page, who joined Volvo earlier this year from Bentley.

Don’t be fooled by the VANITY pendant lamp’s name… because it’s not as fancy as it sounds, which is exactly its appeal. The angular, seemingly complex shape is actually a single sheet of felt material creatively folded to form a sharp-looking shade. Flat-pack ready and easy to transport or store, it’s an easy and efficient choice for a illuminating living spaces.
