Companionship On Demand

google_mate_light_layout

Designed with the elderly in mind, Google Mate is the first in a series of smart connected devices that aim to enhance the lives of elderly individuals. Not only useful as a light source, the base of the unit also serves a variety of interactive functions that are useful and uplifting for them.

As a tabletop lamp, it can be activated by voice or a simple touch. The light source itself can also be removed entirely and used like a flashlight for navigating through rooms and hallways in the dark. Using the base, which is a central element in the 5-piece series, elderly individuals can make calls, listen to messages, share music with family members, check out the news, set alarms and reminders, and much more! With its smart features and intuitive controls, it simultaneously encourages independence and social connection with others.

Using contour lines to evoke dynamism/athleticism and even relating to radiating waves of music, the Nike Facet headphones concept looks and feels like it’s just bursting with positive energy. The wireless headphones borrow color combos and even basic shapes from Nike’s Apple Watch variant, making them fit perfectly into Nike’s product catalog.

The headphones come in beautiful pearlescent metallic finishes that change color depending on how you look at them. They even sport a 3D-printed contour-line texture on the opposite side of the earpieces, along with the Nike logo. Premium, sporty, and vibrant, the Nike Facet ticks all the boxes! Slip them on, play some music, and head out for a run. I’m sure you’ll feel the energy flow through you… and you should definitely turn some heads for sure!

Sustainable Milk Flask

Flasso is specifically intended for countries like India, where milk is usually sold in packaged plastic bags. Glass milk bottles are redundant here and the Tetra Pak varieties are too expensive. The Flasso is basically a milk flask designed eliminate the need of transferring the milk from the pouch to a utensil and then heating it. Easy to manufacture, distribute, maintain and use, this bottle flask will keep the milk fresh and hopefully curb tampering as well.
