Light Baby

Light Baby: "

I know you’ve heard of or maybe even met the white stork, but have you heard of the black stork? It’s the inspiration behind designer Rainer Bachschmid’s “Ciconia” light. Two symmetrical segments bear a reflective stainless steel strip opposite it’s thirty LEDs seamlessly and are encased within an aluminum powder-coated body that very much resembles a beak. This minimalist light sculpture will grace any space with luminous elegance.

Super Sexy Roll

Super Sexy Roll: "

Say hello to the Rollerphone concept! At first glance it’s merely a wrist band that projects time, much like the Alessi Concept we saw earlier, but then you realize it’s actually a phone with a retractable transparent screen at the base. How high-tech! It features perfect ergonomics and anthropometry in design thanks to customization – meaning the screen unfurls only to the tip of your fingers, so basically it give you a good fit between the ear and the mouth.

Besides the obvious features found in the latest cellphones, Rollerphone boasts of an enviable media centre. You can watch videos, chat online, play games, read books and listen to music. It’s going to be hard parting with a phone like this, who wouldn’t want their entire digital world on their wrist!

Designer: Alexey Chugunnikov

Sniffing Out Allergens

Sniffing Out Allergens: "

Those who have severe food allergies know that a single bite of the wrong substance could be their last. This home food scanner known as the Allergen Beagle enables users to screen foods for potential allergenic contents with a straightforward process so that allergen sufferers feel some amount of relief from constantly being at risk of an allergic reaction.

Currently, the system is able to detect peanut, shellfish, gluten, lactose, hazelnut, egg, soy, almonds, and sesame by following these steps:

1. Collect small samples from the food to be screened for allergens

2. Select test tubes needed (one test-tube needed per allergen to be tested)

3. Fill tubes with the sample

4. Insert the test tube into the Allergen Beagle

5. Allow automated process to complete procedure

6. During the procedure a bright light elicits the process

7. When the light turns off, the test can be read: if the Test line colours dark, and the Control line colours dark, the allergen is present
