This doorknob ambiently glows at night so you’re never fumbling in the dark

Here’s a product that just embodies the aspects of sensible design. Meet the Illumiknobi (jury’s out on the name), a glowing knob that begins emitting light when it senses you’re near it. The doorknob runs for an entire year on a single coin-cell battery and comes with a proximity sensor that transforms it into an ambient guiding light, helping you locate doorknobs in the dark… so you’re not fiddling around looking for handles, or worse, banging your shin against furniture or possibly tripping over your cat.

Love the idea but maybe they could ditch the ‘hole-cluster design’ for something more universally aesthetic. An arabesque pattern, stars, or rays of light perhaps?

Mood Lighting + Art = Amazemuffin!

What do you call art that glows? IlluminARTi! Now that I have that joke out of my system, let’s marvel the beauty that is irradiating artistry. Born out of the need to create something truly beautiful and worthy of being the perfect gift; coupled with the want to gracefully blend art and tech, the Kauza is an illuminating illustration on the outside. On the inside it’s a complex network of sensors, modules, and lights, creating a lovely interactive art-piece that is most definitely most unique gift you can give, or will receive.

Wait. What are the sensors for? The sensors are what set Kauza apart. You can programme your art to light up as a result of any action. Perhaps a visual alarm clock, or a motion sensing ambient light. The possibilities are limitless!

If you’re throwing money at your screen expecting to buy a Kauza (like me), technology hasn’t reached that far yet, but I’ll make things easier for you. Head down to Kickstarter and fund the Kauza, and you get a variant of your choice with respect to the amount you pledge (with lots of love!).

The Night Gestures

The Night Communication is a solar empowered, LED silicone glove concept that allows people to communicate with gestures even in pitch darkness. Imagine yourself trekking in the woods and there is a considerable distance between you and the others in your party. In situations like this, using common gesture like how we use in scuba diving can help in communicating over the long distance.

These non-slip breathable gloves can be cool accessories even during parties!

Designer: Wang Lili
