Bug-licious!

The Farm 432 project explores growing the other white meat: BUGS! Named 432 for the number of hours it takes 1 gram of black soldier fly eggs to turn into 2.4 kilograms of delicious larvae protein, the device makes it possible to harvest up to 500kg of larvae per week (roughly two meals) for those who can stomach it!  Hit the jump to see how it works and watch designer Katharina Unger fry up some bugs!

Stylish Headphones for Autistic Adults

Cumulus is a stylish headphone designed for autistic adults, where the headband goes round the neck and it has a galvanic skin sensor. This sensor helps determine the rise of temperature or heart rate via vibrations and better understand the mental conditioning of the autistic adult, at that given moment. The way the headphones wrap around the user’s ears also provides a sense of comfort and security.

The Cumulus has three modes: Sound Cancellation, Directional Microphone and Music. By covering the ears, the Sound Cancellation gets activated and provides absolute silence; by simply putting a hand at the back of the ear will activate Directional Microphone, which can isolate speech from background noise; and simply swiping the panel will activate Music. A sophisticated and handy aid for those who need it!

Designer: Diamond Ho

The versatile material has been used the basin as well as fixtures, aptly titled the Air, Box and Light. Sporting gentle, fluid geometrical forms, the Box consists of a sophisticated single or double HI-MACS oval basin, accompanied by the practical and orderly counter containers in oak wood.

The Box Base Light handrinse is a collection designed to fit into small bathrooms and the collection expands with the inclusion of Noon, a New Generation Natural Acrylic Stone basin with generous, round shapes.

The Stripp is an L-shaped wall-mounted shelf made of HI-MACS and the highly comfortable bath tub Axis and Verse, the free-standing cabinet with its incorporated shower head and taps rounds up the series.

Speaking Like A Pro

You remember the kid in school who always stammered or the one who mispronounced the names? As one of them, I remember how embarrassing it was to be the butt of many jokes. Wish we had savvy tools like the Dr. Tongue that help a child to pronounce correctly. Essentially this series of communication tools help ease out Articulation disorder.

Dr. Tongue helps children to find the right pronunciation and induct the main four groups of sounds that children are most likely to make mistakes with. Dr. Tongue can correct the position of the tongue to solve children’s trouble with pronunciation so they can gain self-confidence to communicate.

Tron-approved Snowmobile

The wicked-looking Snow-Cat snowmobile ditches the gas powered engine for a hi-tech fuel-cell electric power-train with kinetic energy recovery system. The sleds are fitted with linear generators which send power back to the fuel-cell unit and its lightweight carbon fiber body and aerodynamic shape allow it to cut through snow like butter. A digital dashboard provides the rider with completely control of the engine and suspension with information projected directly on a head-up display.

A Gem of a Light

No specific shape can be used to describe the Amorphous Lamp, and that’s precisely its appeal! The irregular and multifaceted yet thoughtfully crafted shape is achieved by linking various sized sheets of frosted white polycarbonate on a base of faceted raw wood. Its unique, angular aesthetic changes with just a simple turn.

No More Pesticide Food

ECO Washing Balls are sensor driven balls that move in the bowl of water, ridding your fruits and vegetables from harmful pesticides. I am all in support of this kind of innovation; just two days ago I read a news report about some school children that succumbed to pesticide-laced food. Simple dishwashing and running water are not enough, either we stop using these harmful chemicals of get the industry to come out with such innovations. What do you say?

The Washing Ball uses electrolysis technology, which does the sterilization safe and perfect.
