This lipstick-inspired portable fan helps keep you cool anytime, anywhere

STYLE Pocket Fan Details

Climate change is real, and it is not just a hoax; sadly, some people don’t believe in the concept. Well, it isn’t just an idea—it is a fact happening not only in a few countries but around the world. It is a global phenomenon affecting almost everything and everyone on the planet. Not everyone may be feeling the effects in their part of the world, but it is real—that we must prepare for the consequences of climate change anytime. Don’t be surprised if it gets too warm or too cold where you live because global warming intensifies yearly unless we do something significant about it. Before a massive solution is identified, you and I may need to look for ways to survive global warming and climate change.

STYLE Pocket Fan Concept Product Design

For tropical countries, you may need to prepare bigger this year as it is expected to be warmer. You can plan your travel this summer but still with caution because the pandemic is not yet over. The beach can be the perfect destination because of the calm and cool ocean, but we acknowledge it will still be warm. If you’re not up for a beach trip, you may just go to the part for a picnic or attend whatever events are happening in your area.

STYLE Pocket Fan

Wherever you go or whatever you choose to do, you need to make sure to stay cool, especially if you’re outside. As much as we want to stay inside air-conditioned rooms all the time, we still have to go out to meet people and do errands. So prepare by bringing a portable fan with you, as this will help you survive the sweltering weather outside. The STYLE Pocket Fan is one portable fan that can fit just right in your pocket or purse. It is inspired by a lipstick you usually find in every lady’s bag; however, this isn’t limited to the girls only because everyone needs a fan.

STYLE Pocket Fan Designer

The STYLE Pocket Fan is one fashionable, portable, and practical personal cooling device– a handheld fan that is easy to carry and use—just like a lipstick because of its size and silhouette. And like a lipstick, you need to remove the cap off to reveal the blades and then put back the cap in reverse position to keep it in place for use. A small power button is found on one end near the transparent blades, while there is one USB-C port on one end with an LED indicator. It can be assumed the material is plastic, but we won’t be surprised if the main case is metal because it’s cooler.

Concept STYLE Pocket Fan

Designed by Shan Liang, the STYLE Pocket Fan is available in three colors: White, Orange, and Pink. It can be the ideal summer essential, especially for those always on the go—or simply those who want to survive the blazing heatwaves. You can bring this with you anywhere and anytime, but just make sure it is always charged. You don’t really have to worry about its size and portability, but the small blades may not be enough for some people. It’s just enough to circulate cool air and provide you with some reprieve from the heat.

A-COLD-WALL x Converse Sponge CX Crater pushes the limits of wearability and style

Just like its parent company Nike, Converse has been teaming up with different brands, celebrities, and artists to introduce new sneaker creations that will please the sneakerheads. In recent months, the label has inked a deal with Samuel Ross’ brand A-COLD-WALL, and the partnership is a significant one because the British designer is currently famous in the menswear fashion scene. The collaboration has already delivered the recently-released Converse Aeon Active CX with a future-ready silhouette. And this time around, the duo is set to show off the Converse Sponge Crater CX as a new model. At first glance, you will recognize that it’s a follow-up to the Aeon Active CX because of the similarities in shape and texture. It boasts the same sculptural form and bold silhouette that you can’t imagine would be comfortable, but it actually is.

Designer: A-Cold-Wall x Converse

Converse x A-COLD-WALL Sponge Crater

Converse x A-COLD-WALL Sponge Crater

Few will agree this pair is minimalist, but that is how the designers describe its form compared to the previous model. The Sponge Crater’s design is more straightforward with the minimized components but still looks attractive with the choice of colors. You will see the orange flat-knit upper with a printed A-COLD-WALL logo, small details like the gray pull tabs and the spandex collar, and the shell made of Crater and CX foam. What is most notable about the shoe is the unique texture—like the moon’s surface with all the craters and holes.

Converse x A-COLD-WALL Sponge Crater

A-Cold-Wall and Converse intended for the shoes to have such an interesting crater foam body and an overstated heel kick that allows ease of entry. It appears complicated, but it is comfortable, stable, and able to provide all-day support. Converse’s very own CX technology combined with a PU foam CX liner allows comfort and warmth with every stride. The brands that worked on the pair also intended for the Converse x A-COLD-WALL Sponge Crater to be used across all types of terrains, so you know the pair isn’t just for showing off.

Converse x A-COLD-WALL Sponge Crater

The A-Cold-Wall x Converse Sponge Crater proves the “less is more” principle which both brands follow. The pair offers style and wearability that are not often balanced if we’re talking about hyped sneakers. Samuel Ross’ flair for craftsmanship and atypical contemporary aesthetic is evident in the pair. But what is likable about this is the next-level comfort and support, thanks to the Crater foam body, CX foam underfoot, and the egg-crate style traction pod outsole.

Converse x A-COLD-WALL Sponge Crater

The avante-garde design of the A-Cold-Wall x Converse Sponge Crater is yet another fruit of the collaborative efforts between the two labels, delivering a futuristic feel that pushes the boundaries of style and footwear technology. Converse is known for shoes with all-day comfort, and the Sponge Crater offers just that—comfort and support to the feet throughout the day.

Alo Smart Healthcare Assistant monitors the staff’s health and wellbeing

Healthcare in some parts of the world is failing, but it doesn’t mean we should lose hope because plenty of solutions can be implemented. In some countries, they are somehow particular and efficient that doctors, nurses, medical researchers, and scientists try to keep up with the technology and advance in the medical field. But while these professionals do their part by expanding their knowledge and expertise, they need people to look after them too. They need to care for themselves to ensure they can also give the best care to the patients. However, some doctors and professionals take things for granted, so they need to be reminded—perhaps the Alo can help them as intelligent healthcare assistants as long as they wear it all the time.

Designer: Harry Rigler

Alo Smart Healthcare Assistant Harry Rigler How It Works

The Alo is an innovative accessory that acts as a healthcare assistant, ready to check a person’s O2 saturation, skin temperature, heart, and even GPS. It is designed to check and monitor the health and wellbeing of the clinic or hospital staff to ensure the healthcare professionals are healthy. This Alo smart device uses sensors and AI pattern recognition to check on the healthcare professional’s well-being and see if they are experiencing any stress. With the data and information gathered, the hospital management may act to reduce the workload of the nurses and doctors. If high pressure or high workload is detected, the staff can assign other work or tasks to any available staff.

The Alo Smart Healthcare Assistant is meant to be worn by a medical professional all the time. It can be clipped onto a pocket or collar for easy access and efficiency, with a small screen showing a smiley face. It will remind you a bit of a kid-friendly smartwatch because of the design and the color of the handle. It appears with a simple and subtle facade that is easy to use and understand. We can imagine seeing this clipped onto a doctor’s white coat, ready to give a smile to a patient. It features a sensor that magnetically attaches from the other side of the clothing, resulting in a simple and clean look any user can enjoy and rely on.

Alo Smart Healthcare Assistant Harry Rigler Features

Designed by Harry Rigler, this healthcare smart assistant concept has the potential to become the next big thing to a smartwatch. We see the similarities between the Alo Smart Healthcare Assistant and a fitness band or smartwatch, but we’re hoping the Alo can do more related to one’s health, fitness, and wellbeing. It’s only a concept idea, but we imagine something similar will be introduced and actually used by the doctors.

Star Wars TIE Advanced x1 Watch Winder keeps any automatic watch going all the time

TIE Advanced x1 Watch Winder

The TIE Fighter is perhaps one of the most distinguishable fictional spacecraft in the Star Wars universe. You see one, and you know it’s something related to the Galactic Republic, but you would still recognize it even if you’re not a fan of the epic franchise. With hundreds to thousands of Star Wars-inspired creations worldwide, it may be challenging to track them all, but some items make a remarkable impression, especially if they have special functions. We don’t want any more useless stuff, so if we are presented with a new object like a sculpture, it better be functional. If it is a furniture item, it should have another function, so the effort isn’t wasted, so multi-functional items are very much appreciated by those who want to keep their lives compact, minimalist, and small.

Designer: Kross Studio

Kross Studio TIE Advanced x1 Watch Winder 3

Kross Studio is a relatively new company, but it has been introducing exciting products from several collaborations. The Studio’s identity includes collaboration as an integral part of the business, and so far, its partnerships have been successful. We remember that 1989 Batmobile Desk Clock as the perfect sidekick to a geeky desk setup. Star Wars fans will never forget the Death Star Watch and the Boba Fett Tourbillon Watch and today, we’re showing you the TIE Advanced x1 Watch Winder, described as the next chapter of the brand’s Star Wires-inspired collaboration.

Kross Studio TIE Advanced x1 Watch Winder 4

The latest collectible is functional but is available in a limited release only, but the dark universe-inspired TIE Advanced x1 watch winding sculpture can be considered a magnificent piece of art by hardcore Star Wars fans. However, it is mainly a watch winder in its solid aluminum glory with an integrated winding engine to keep an automatic watch always running even when not worn. This operational art object weighs 4kgs and measures 20cm long, 28cm wide, and 17cm high—made from a solid black anodized aluminum.

Kross Studio TIE Advanced x1 Watch Winder 2

Kross Studio is known for its excellent design and manufacturing skills, which are clearly evident in the TIE Advanced x1 Watch Winder. The functional sculpture has been machined, finished, and assembled in-house, resulting in a piece that harnesses the force of movement to keep any automatic watch going while within the capsule. The Kross Studio TIE Advanced x1-inspired watch winder sculpture is activated when an infrared sensor detects a watch. It stays in standby mode if there is no watch available to conserve energy, but the battery can last for more than two years. If you need to change the batteries, you may need to use a key inspired by the Galactic Empire.

Kross Studio TIE Advanced x1 Watch Winder

Everything about the TIE Advanced x1 watch winder proves Kross Studio’s principles when it comes to disruptive design. The studio has big collaborations and ambitions that have been successful since its launch in 2020 in the middle of the pandemic. This watch winder is no different and we believe more projects with other franchises will be introduced by Kross Studio.

Gameboy-inspired MagSafe powerbank gives up to 10000mAh extra power

MAG.L MagSafe Powerbank 10000mAh Product Designer

MAG.L MagSafe Powerbank 10000mAh Product DesignIt looks like the MagSafe connector system is here to stay, and we believe it will be until Apple says otherwise or there is a new technology available. This MagSafe system offers easy connectivity and wireless charging for Apple gadgets, allowing many devices from the brand to be more accessible, convenient, and efficient to use. There are plenty of MagSafe-compatible products and accessories, but there are not many power banks or battery packs available. We may have seen a few already but perhaps nothing like this MAG.L MagSafe Powerbank with its 10000mAh capacity. Introduced by Neo Bie and Leigui Lui for Stylepie, this thing aims to improve the wireless charging and power bank experience of anyone who will get this portable accessory.

Designers: Leigui Li and Neo Bie

MAG.L MagSafe Powerbank 10000mAh Details

The MAG.L MagSafe Powerbank will remind you of an old Gameboy for its shape and design, featuring the usual four operation buttons: SELECT, START, A, B, and a d-pad (directional pad). The lower portion of the yellow powerbank has a cover that slides to work as the stand of the powerbank. There is also an LCD screen that we assume will show basic information like date, time, battery level, or the charging status. Unlike the Gameboy, this one has a thin body but is sturdy enough to hold a smartphone. From a different angle, we can see the accessory looking as if there are several layers of cards, and on one side, there are small LED lights that indicate the battery level. This is mainly a power bank, but unlike the old style we know, this one can stand on its own and can hold a phone at a safe and convenient angle.

 

The designers developed a new stand structure using a combination of leather, magnets, and iron for the wireless charging station that can offer up to 10000mAh of power for most of your MagSafe-compatible gadgets. The newly-designed MAG.L MagSafe Powerbank for Stylepie can be compared with the MAG.T MagSafe Phone Case for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13, also from Stylepie. In addition, the brand based in Shenzhen has been offering different mobile accessories like the iMac G4 MagSafe charger + stand, and we know more related products will be introduced.

MAG.L MagSafe Powerbank 10000mAh Details

You see, the MagSafe’s return and reinvention result from the arrival of new iPhone models beginning with the iPhone 12. The MagSafe accessories suddenly became an instant hit after several years, primarily because of the magnetic mechanism. There is something novel about things sticking to your phone, and like most charging pads, this can also work with Apple gadgets like the Airpods or the Apple Watch.

There is a MagSafe accessory just for your every need, and we recently shared with you the Top 10 Apple MagSafe accessories we know. But, of course, we won’t forget that Momax Q.Mag Power 8 transparent MagSafe wireless power bank that was released on the market a few months ago. Neo Bie also previously introduced a dual-duty MagSafe power bank that has got you covered as made possible by the double capacity compared to other conventional MagSafe devices.

Vaso Gato minimalist and lightweight vase appears as if floating in the air

VASO GOTA Vase Product Design

A vase has one primary purpose: to hold something—it could be a single stem of a flower or a stalk of a plant, water or wine, or just about anything small you want to display. You can see at least one vase in most households, but you see many of them in restaurants as fancy decorations. No matter how you use a vase, such must complement a room’s aesthetics and personality if it is to stay in your environment. Good thing the vase can come in different forms, shapes, sizes, and textures so anyone can experiment with the design or get one that suits him. A vase may only have a few functions, but it can offer big things to people, especially if you put pretty flowers or plants, as the sight can help reduce stress, boost your mood, and for some people, help physically heal.

Designer: Maurício Coelho

Vaso Gota Drop Vase

Vaso Gota Drop Vase

Who wouldn’t want to use a vase as a decoration at home when this small object can do wonders to your mood? Designed by furniture and product designer Maurício Coelho, the Vaso Gota is an intelligently- designed vase that is functional and peaceful—like holding a flower or a plant and the ability to soothe the soul. The vase system is made of different materials—steel and glass—so it offers a balanced yet contrasting energy to anyone who can adapt to many different kinds of atmosphere, ambiance, cultures, and people.

Vaso Gota Drop Vase

The Vaso Gota (Drop Vase) features two parts: (1) the metal stand with its curves working as the frame and the vase holder; and (2) the glass vase in different shapes. The shape of the stand (frame) allows the vase to appear as if floating from the floor, but we find it interesting it can carry the vase without tipping. It’s not exactly magic because the exact design of both ends carries the weight of the vase, supporting any shape of the glass vase available. As for the shapes of the glass vases, there are three: two are cones but one is taller and slimmer, and another one shaped like an elongated teat of a baby’s pacifier.

Vaso Gota Drop Vase

The Vaso Gato is a minimalist creation that will look great on any surface or corner of the room. The available vases come in timeless designs, but they cannot stand independently. They remind us of those glass beakers used in science experiments but now with their own stand, so it’s looking like you’re about to start a new scientific discovery. The metal stand is available in either white or black, looking thin yet strong and lightweight.

Vaso Gota Drop Vase

Maurício Coelho isn’t a stranger to us as we have featured his previous designs like the unique-looking Chaise Espinhal chaise lounge and the Lightning Chair that looks ready to charge you anytime. This Brazilian designer is also a 3D artist who comes up with furniture pieces that are functional, intuitive, and personal. Most of his works are sofas and chairs, but we have also seen other smaller ones like the lamps and the vases. Coelho knows what he is doing for the home and furniture world because every design presented can go into production and be released in the market.

The Riffle LED Lamp’s elbow mysteriously hides a hinge

Different kinds of lamps can be found everywhere, whether at home, office, restaurant, hotel lobbies, or even in the streets, as they provide illumination and help create a mood or atmosphere. They furnish any room with adequate or ambient lighting throughout a space, affecting the mood, whether for relaxation or productivity. They are ready in different styles, sizes, colors, and luminescence levels while offering decorative purposes to an otherwise dim or dull home. Depending on one’s type or preference, or the aesthetics of a home, lamps must match the surroundings and be able to provide the proper lighting. Throughout the centuries, we have seen how lamp designs evolve, and we can expect the development will be rapid as more people get creative and are given a platform to eventually reach production and get marketed.

Design: Nobuaki Sato

Nobuaki Sato Riffle LED Lamp Details

Nobuaki Sato, a designer from Tokyo, has designed the Riffle LED Lamps made of walnut veneer in two different styles: desktop and floor-standing. The Riffle LED Desktop lamp is obviously smaller, while the Riffle LED Floor-standing Lamp is taller. Either style appears like scraps of wood nailed together to become a toy gun for kids, but this is really a lamp with LED lights, although they are hidden inside the top arm that also functions as the head. There is no lampshade here, so illumination is direct on a surface or the floor.

Nobuaki Sato Riffle LED Lamp Details

The lamp’s elbow is where the mysterious hinge is placed, looking like the head of a bamboo folding fan. The elbow portion appears to be layers of veneer wood alternating to create better support for both the top and lower arms. It’s actually the hinge part that we find mysterious because you don’t see any rivet or hinge from outside, but we believe there is—just hidden. On the base of the lamp, there is a basic port there for the cable that can be removed, so we’re assuming this lamp is rechargeable which is better as the cord can add to a cluttered look at times.

Nobuaki Sato Riffle LED Lamp Where to Buy

Nobuaki Sato Riffle LED Lamp Specs

The lamp’s name says a lot—Riffle LED Lamp– as it has a hinge that appears when you “riffle” or are shuffling things or flipping through the pages of a book. It’s not to be confused with the rifle gun, but then the form of the lamp could also well be that of a gun—the kind that kids improvise from imagination. You can choose how you want to see this LED lamp, but one thing we can be sure of—this is a minimalist lamp that won’t overwhelm the surrounding. Instead, it offers a simple and subtle elegance that can enhance any room or corner at home. The walnut veneer adds character and a rich depth to the desk or floor-standing lamp while being luxurious and creating a stylish and smooth finish to a supposedly very basic lighting solution.

TCL Flip concept display transforms into a digital board game, drawing table, and more

DIA 2022 Flip Concept Design

The future of TV will only bring us smarter solutions and innovations, as well as a level of convenience never known before. Even if people no longer watch traditional TV, the demand for television sets as electronics has increased significantly, especially during the pandemic, alongside computers and other gadgets. Moreover, people’s use of TVs and similar displays has changed throughout recent years, thanks to the addition of touchscreen goodness. As a result, display technology has immensely evolved, and with touchscreen technology being invented, our digital lives are forever changed. And as the world prepares to live in a post-pandemic world, we can expect further changes and enhancements not only at home but in offices, schools, and businesses all over the globe.

TCL Flip Concept

People’s resilience means companies and brands will have to listen and adjust to our needs, and it is for this reason, a group of designers has thought of a new multifunctional smart screen called Flip. The TCL Flip is a smart display that offers a better interactive experience between the screen and every user. Moreover, it adapts well to the different activities at home or wherever you decide to use the Flip.

DIA 2022 Flip Concept Features

The Flip display is only a concept for now, but a prototype was made for testing among a group of Millenials and Gen Z users. About 75% of the 80 testers said that the concept is very cool, while 56.34% said the board game mode is what will make them purchase the Flip. The display can be used in different ways, depending on the need at the moment—whether as a regular TV, an upright display for your phone, a digital board game, or a large drawing pad.

TCL Flip Concept Demo

TCL Flip Concept Drawing Mode

The TCL Flip comes with storage underneath for small items like maybe a remote, charger, or a power adapter. The screen works with a magnetic stylus pen at the rear of the shell for easy use and storage. The main display is supported by what seems to be a folded board in a triangle position with wheels. The covered portion is the storage, while another layer is the additional support for the display when you want to use it as a board game or drawing board.

TCL Flip Concept Sample

TCL Flip Concept Upright Portrait Mode

We can imagine playing air hockey or finger soccer with this TCL Flip, while artists would love to use this to put their creativity to a digital board that can make their lives easier. This is only a concept, but we know TCL will make a lot of money once this project goes into production. It was given an Honorable Mention Award at the Design Intelligence Awards last year (DIA 2021) for its ingenious design and aesthetics. We have seen similar products, but we think this version is more attractive, convenient, and easier to use.

Fadi baby bowl teaches little tots self-feeding

FADI Learning Tableware for Toddlers

Teaching kids proper table manners begins at home so it is mainly the responsibility of the parents or guardians or whoever is the primary caregiver. Knowing the proper tableware is a good start but what is more important is that children know how to feed themselves. Many will probably agree that knowing how a tool or tableware works is just half the battle because kids need to learn how to self-feed after some time. Allowing a baby or a toddler to feed himself acknowledges his power to make his own choices even at an early age. It’s just food, alright, but the act is good for a child’s development as it also aids in developing hand-and-eye coordination, hand and finger strength, and fine motor skills. This is true in most cases, but it can be observed that there are toddlers having a hard time learning self-control if they are still spoon-fed.

Designer: Jian Lu

FADI Learning Tableware for Kids

Solutions for such a dilemma are available, but everything is not absolute, because what we are offered is only supplemental to what the adults should teach the children. Fadi enters the scene to teach a little person to self-feed while helping the adults and reducing the cleaning time for parents after a messy meal. Of course, toddlers will still be frustrated, but the Fadi tableware is expected to assist both the child in self-feeding and the parent in caring for the little one.

FADI Learning Tableware

FADI Learning Tableware Features

The Fadi baby tableware was recognized at the 2021 Good Design Awards for its thoughtful design, features, and aesthetics. Designed by Jian Lu, the patented learning tableware set is meant to allow a more efficient self-feeding and easier cleanup. A toddler’s utensil set should not be complicated and must be easier to use; however, some styles available in the market are not exactly helpful.

FADI Learning Tableware Advantage

FADI Learning Tableware Benefits

Taiwanese industrial designer Jian Lu understands the need for simple-looking yet functional tableware because feeding a kid is not really easy, so he designed the tableware with efficiency and comfort in mind. The whole set actually includes different pieces: the toddler bowl with a lopsided design and a suction, a standable bent spoon with a curved handle, and a TPU cover. The suction keeps the bowl from slipping, the bent spoon is to make things easier for the toddler to carry food, while the spoon with its bigger handle is for easier grabbing.  The design of the Fadi allows a more enjoyable mealtime experience for everyone, and after a delightful meal, carrying out and washing are also easier.

FADI Learning Tableware Concept

This concept tableware is mainly a baby bowl that can teach the baby to learn to self-feed. The bowl won’t slip or fall off because of the strong suction, so even if the baby wants to release it, the bowl won’t fall. The Fadi tableware offers many other thoughtful functions so every mealtime can be enjoyable for the tiny tot. A happy baby means a happy mommy—so yes, what parent wouldn’t want to have this?

Cyborg Lamp looks like it’s ready to pounce on you anytime

Cyborg Lamp Jaro Kose Real

It’s not yet time, but we believe society will someday know cyborgs and robots differently from what we usually read in books or see in movies. While that era hasn’t happened yet, the world will just have to do with things that resemble them and imagine a future where technology is not just part of the way we live but also part of the human body. We’re not saying we long for that time when organic and biomechatronic parts will be part of us—no, we want to be as natural and alive as possible. Still, we look forward to a time when everything is advanced because of robotics just as we’re at the early stage where robots can do almost everything humans can and, in some cases, even better.

Designer: Jaro Kose

Cyborg Lamp Jaro Kose Where to Buy

For now, we’ll settle with objects shaped like cyborgs and enjoy this time when the boundaries between humans and machines are not yet destroyed. This Cyborg Lamp will make you think that inanimate objects can someday have “life” and suddenly just move as if it has a soul. This lamp is a stationary item, but it looks like it’s ready to jump and pounce on you anytime, appearing like a spider with only three long legs.

Cyborg Lamp Jaro Kose

Cyborg Lamp Jaro Kose Concept

The Cyborg Lamp offers different motions and movements that can transform and act according to the owner’s mood. Designed by Jaro Kose, the lamp showcases creativity in its design of even the most common pieces you see at home. There is no limit to ingenuity, mainly if you apply heart and passion—which is what the designer believes in. His previous works like the Clock Vase, Invader Whisk, and the Delft Stool and Table show that an unlikely source of inspiration can give birth to remarkable works of art.

Cyborg Lamp Jaro Kose Details

Cyborg Lamp Jaro Kose Product Design

Cyborg Lamp is made of metal and polypropylene plastic, so it’s durable and safe for humans. It’s small, measuring 16 x 16 x 41 cm ( 6.2 x 6.2 x 16 inches), so it may look better if you have a few of these scattered on your desk or the floor. They will just look like robot spiders waiting for your go signal to power on and illuminate the whole room. The lamp can be directed in any direction—whether looking down or up— by adjusting the legs and height. The Cyborg Lamp is ready in either black or white with a shiny finish and gold details. Interestingly, the lamp still maintains a minimalist appeal so that it can be perfect for those looking for simple yet unique-looking accessories for the home.
