This reusable folding plate functions as a storage container + a sustainable alternative to disposable tableware!

Posted on by

Calzone is a reusable folding plate, inspired by (you guessed it), the Italian crescent-shaped turnovers that are so loved by everyone.

You know those perfect Sundays, when your friends and you manage to be free on the same day after what seems like ages, and you somehow find yourself on an impromptu picnic, lazing in the sun and sipping on homemade mimosas! Sound’s like heaven, doesn’t it? As much as I love a picnic or two with my close ones, packing for one is always a major headache, and not to mention the opposite of sustainable, since half of the picnic basket is full of disposable plates and containers! As convenient as these disposable items may seem at the moment, they are in fact a complete terror to the environment. In an attempt to create an innovative alternative to disposable plates and plastic bags, BDCI designed ‘Calzone’.

The colorful product is perfect for picnics and hikes, because not only can it store food, but it also functions as a plate! When folded, and closed in half, Calzone functions as a nifty little container, but when opened, it takes on a flat form and can be used as tableware to serve food. It’s the perfect replacement for one-time use zipper bags and plates! Created from medical-grade silicone, Calzone is safe enough to be placed in the refrigerator, freezer, microwave, and oven.

Calzone’s aesthetics are remarkably on point! The sustainable tableware comes in three color options – Florida Orange, Lemon Yellow, and Watermelon. All three colors are cheerful and robust, and just looking at them significantly lightens up your mood! Calzone also comes in three sizes – small, medium, and large. So, you can pick a size in accordance with your storage requirements.

Calzone is a sustainable, sturdy, and visually pleasing alternative to disposable products that tend to be a major curse to the environment. Calzone could be the future of tableware!

This smartphone accessory scans your skin for underlying problems, the hassle-free way

Posted on by

Always worried about your skin’s health? Then this camera-like attachment is exactly what you want.

Skin is the first line of defense that the complex body mechanism has developed to keep all the billions and trillions of external elements from reaching the internal organs. As civilizations progressed forward this largest and most important organ of the body became the most sought after in terms of care. Take the skincare industry for example which is one of the biggest out there and so much money is poured into it for mere looks. In fact, the skincare segment amounted to $18,702 million in 2021, and it is following a growth pattern of 5.01 percent annually.

After all who doesn’t want some me-time, especially with their skincare. Seeing the importance of skincare in daily routine, Borderless Design Consultancy (BDCI) has an interesting take on smartphone accessories that go beyond contemporary use. We’ve seen high-end smartphone camera attachments, medical-related accessories, and other weird gadgets, but this one is actually interesting. Dubbed At Skin, it scans the skin for any signs of skin diseases or cancer DNA for early detection of serious problems. On the skincare front, the gadget scans the skin for tissues and overall healthy signs.

You can attach this cool gadget to your smartphone, placing it just over the primary sensor and the accessory’s hardware does the rest. The device works like a dermascope to detect any skin lesions or melanoma cells at a very early stage so that you can take the precautionary measures ASAP. Since At Skin can be attached to any smartphone’s camera module, hassle-free skincare is actually possible the right way with BDCI’s attachment. The product is still in the prototyping stage and we hope to see it hit the market soon in the future.

This 3D-printed structure prevents your face mask from collapsing as you breathe

Posted on by

What we really need is for everyone to wear face-masks that prevent the transmission of germs. What we DON’T need is for those face-masks to make it harder for us to breathe, right? As you inhale, most flimsy fabric masks collapse inwards because of the negative air-pressure created inside the mask… it’s honestly something most people can deal with, but if you’re someone with pre-existing respiratory difficulties, it could make regular breathing rather difficult.

The Cannula mask avoids this problem with its reinforcing endoskeleton. A thin plastic grille, this skeleton gives the mask its defining structure, preventing it from pressing against your face the same way a hanger prevents clothes from getting crushed by retaining its shape. Designed to be worn by people with respiratory difficulties, the endoskeleton even comes with a hollow spine that allows you to plug a nasal cannula to it, letting you direct fresh oxygen right to the wearer’s nose; effectively allowing them to inhale and exhale freely without worrying about a flimsy mask smothering them every time they try to breathe.
