This compact water boiler concept features scheduled heating that can be controlled from your smartphone!

Posted on by

Nomad is a battery-operated, compact, and portable water heating concept that includes programmed heating and smartphone controls to make heating water as simple as ever.

Nomad is the lifestyle of 2021. Like a newsletter we actually enjoy receiving, we’re all subscribing to it. With remote work becoming more plausible for everyone, a mobile lifestyle has too. While there are plenty of upsides to the nomad life, there are just as many challenges. Luckily, designers across the globe have come up with their own solutions. Industrial product designer, Hamza Bavčić created a compact water heater, aptly called Nomad, designed for the modern nomad to have access to hot water wherever their travels take them.

Inspired by the natural mobility of migratory birds, Bavčić designed Nomad to be portable, lightweight, and beautifully shaped like a stork. To make Nomad portable, Bavčić designed the water heater to disassemble into separate parts that be stowed away for easy packing and traveling.

Once all of the parts are put back together, Nomad’s heating abilities are activated once the device’s orange tip is submerged in water. Users simply place their desired cup of liquid on Nomad’s electric base underneath the heating nozzle and soon enough, hot water is at their fingertips. When there’s no liquid present, the heating elements are automatically shut off to ensure safe operation during and following use.

When traveling, having access to hot water means there will always be coffee in the morning and tea at night. While the entire product requires AC or batteries, once Nomad is charged, the entire operation can be controlled from your smartphone. Bavčić also equipped Nomad with programmed heating so once your alarm goes off in the morning, Nomad turns on. With Nomad, Bavčić makes sure that we’ll never face a morning without a cup of coffee.

This adorable egg-holder and boiler turns your poultry into penguins!

Posted on by

Designed in a way that not only holds your eggs but also transforms them into quirky penguins, the Egguins from Peleg Design allows you to store as well as boil as many as 6 eggs together.

Made from heat-resistant and food-safe plastic, the Egguins are an innovative way to store, boil, or serve eggs. The hollow penguin shape allows you to slide eggs (both small and large) into it, completing it visually and making it look like a flock of Emperor Penguins ready to dash right into the water (the visual metaphor of connecting the egg, the bird, and the water is just perfect)! Immerse the Egguins into a saucepan of boiling water using the handle above, and just lift them out when you’re done boiling them to the softness or hardness of your choice. More of an omelet or a sunny-side-up kind of guy? You can use the Egguins to innovatively (and adorably) store your eggs in your fridge. Penguins do enjoy the cold, don’t they??

Just place this perforated silicone bag into water to boil or steam your veggies!

Posted on by

At Dreamfarm, along with food, there are always a couple of good ideas cooking. I’m talking about the guys that designed the Nutella spatula you’ve surely seen on the internet, or the TAPI, a silicone attachment to your bathroom tap that you pinch to divert water flow upwards, turning it into a water fountain. Now meet the Vebo, another rather brilliant idea from the minds at Dreamfarm. Unlike most metal colanders, the Vebo (a portmanteau of vegetable + boiler) is a silicone perforated bag with handles. Its silicone construction makes it food-grade and safe to immerse in heat. The bag’s flexible silicone design expands to let you put more veggies in or even fold to fit into pots of any size, and it even packs handles that allow you to lift it and carry it around.

The Vebo can be used to boil or even steam veggies with ease. It comes with an elevated base, making steaming vegetables easier, and the handles allow you to grab and hold the boiled or steamed vegetables fresh off the stove. Its perforations allow the water to drip through, even making it easy to rinse vegetables under running water. The Vebo is like a metal colander in the fact that it performs the exact same job… but just infinitely better!
