Showcase your markers in a compact design that keeps you organized

Posted on by

I can’t honestly grasp how I don’t have this in my workspace already. Just a simple tinted transparent acrylic cube, the Fume acts as a rather beautiful pen-stand for your alcohol markers (something designers swear by). Its design doesn’t just have them laid out in an interesting format, it even allows you to segregate them by hue into three zones… One for color, one for warm grays, and one for cool grays. Love!

“Through its rotating feature, one can reach every marker pen easily and pull them out to use. After using the pen, it can be placed back to a desired outlet by either vertically or horizontally. Being a package at the same time, the stand can restore 40 marker pens at a time,” Gürsu told Yanko Design.

Owl be there for you!

It’s rare that EDC or multitools get described as cute, so the Owl Bits is a rare, lovable case-study in ‘cute multi-tool design’.

The bird-inspired form comes with two wings and big eyes that serve as hinges for said wings. Open the wings out and you’ve got yourself a screw-driver that’s easy to rotate, thanks to its perpendicular grip. The wings come with multiple screw-bits inside them that can easily be removed and docked in place where you’d imagine the owl’s feet to be.

Crafted from stainless steel, plastic, and built with rubber grips, the Owl Bits comes in a compact design that occupies no more space than a measuring tape. It comes with its own carrying case too that packs hex sockets as well, making this avian species quite the mechanic’s best friend!

If you really look at architecture, it’s nothing but vertical walls between a floor plane and a ceiling plane. If those walls were collapsible, your entire house wouldn’t be more than a meter in thickness. The ShelterPack is a disaster relief home that fits a bedroom (with 4 beds), bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, and a dining space (with furniture) into a slab just about 80 centimeters in height. The entire apartment can be set up in just a few hours by elevating the ceiling, and putting the walls in place.

The ShelterPack is ideal for places struck by disaster. When compressed, each pack is small enough to be carried in a semi-automatic truck. In bulk! Imagine giving comfortable homes to a 100 refugees/victims with just two such trucks!

The ShelterPack was awarded the Golden award at the A’ Design Awards 2016.
