The Mobile Speakers are probably the most ingenious designer speakers that I have come across in a long time. The most functional design for a speaker, it will surely appeal to all. Designed by Japanese artist Yoshihiko Satoh for Marumiya Furniture these speakers are shaped like a bag. What is more, the speakers actually function as a bag and hold your iPod inside. A clever design, this is one bag every music buff must definitely own. These amazing portable speakers will surely turn quite a few heads as you step out holding them in your hand.

I personally love to decorate my home with beautiful and unique lighting pieces. Hence it is no wonder that I have fallen in love with this beautiful Revolver wall light designed by Frank Schreiner. Resembling more like a beautiful flower, the Revolver wall light is not a powerful bright light as the design may suggest. Nor is it a drain on your electricity bill as the eight chrome bulbs around the side are actually non-functioning and are used to only help the central bulb to give off light with some very distinctive shadows on the wall. The beautiful bulbs are arranged on a steel coated frame.

Libraries are very rare these days. Since everything is online and even eBooks have replaced the nostalgic feeling of flipping through the pages. BIG Architects has unveiled a design for a new library to be built in Astana, Kazakhstan. It will feature a twisting infinite loop designed to maximize natural lighting for the library and shading for the interior corridor. It will be called the Nursultan Nazarbayev Library which will also be a major cultural center for Astana. The basis for the design is the Möbius strip, so that the library's exterior walls form a single, never-ending loop, exposing the interior to more sunlight than in structures with windows perpendicular to the ground. This design will allow people going in to read with enhanced natural light for reading. Interesting.

Isn’t it such an obvious thing that in an office we like to have some bit of privacy and do our calmly (no, not to have perverse thoughts). Office cabins are dull, grey and boring and we all know it. Only some offices make the effort to actually put some colour into their interiors. This design is extremely cool. It is called a breathing cubicle partition. It is long and has got a small ventilation on the top that can have some plants kept on it to give it a green feel to the office. It comes in various forms and shapes.

Some people are ridiculously jobless and extremely foolish. And there are others who likes to act normal but are dangerously ill. Like this dude. He has come up with an idea. It is an iPhone concept called iDrops. It is using new nano technology to control your iPhone with the blink of an eye – that’s what the ad says. It shows a person putting some drops on to the eye and then the iPhone is in your eye. I know! It makes no sense! Hilarious! Even J K Rowling had a better imagination with her wizards.

Designer Philipp Siebourg has designed a concept driverless vehicle system known as the Induction Powered Vehicle (IPV). Designed for vehicles that can’t afford to be stopped by traffic, the IPV has a magnetic track to guide the vehicle, which can also be controlled by a cellular phone. So if you are a specialty vehicle in the future, you might be able to just dial up your location and sit back and enjoy the ride. GPS would be a thing of the past if such vehicles come into being.

Three designers- Vanessa Sattele, Patrik Pettersson & Fredrik Nilsson presented a unique concept double decker pram design for a project sponsored by Alstom which required them to design a Tram for Stockholm City for the year 2025. Designed in a Scandinavian way, this Tram is simple, spacious and extremely user friendly. The Tram has been designed to carry 170 passengers, but on a smaller footprint than standard Trams, hence avoiding traffic blockades. The double decker concept will allow the possibility of having less seats on the street level floor creating a more spacious and accessible area for wheelchairs, prams or lots of luggage. The doors on the second floor will help speed up the flow of exiting and entering the Tram and also offer instant access to big shopping centers directly from the second floor.

If you are a designer, you are bound to be inquisitive and curious about why certain designs or creations don’t work. This inquisitive trait has led Industrial designer Jay Sim to create his concept vehicle dubbed Urban Vehicle 2023. The Urban Vehicle is a unique transportation system that the designer feels is suitable for the year 2023 as he believes the failure of various ecofriendly cars is not actually in them but in the transportation system. The concept system is based on an electric vehicle which can be rented and allows the user to use it as an important connector between various mass transit systems. The car runs on an electric engine and carries roof-mounted solar panels that can be used to charge the vehicle on the move or when it’s parked. The Urban Vehicle 2003 is designed to be used only as a connector vehicle and is not meant to be driven around. Since the commuters will be using more of mass transit it also ensures that you normally will never be late for work. A great concept, hope the 2023 government incorporates this system.
