Freedle | needle
Category: industrial design
Design: Mao, Chia Lin, National Kaohsiung Normal University, Taiwan
Freedle
is designed with new style of needle eye made of soft flexible nylon
allowing the thread to be threaded through more easily. Freedle is also
made out of a fluorescent material making it easier to find if it gets
dropped on the floor or somewhere dark. This would also help people to
avoid stepping on it and getting hurt while they are looking for it.
Eat Clean | tableware
Category: industrial design
Design: Chung-Ping Lai/Ming-Hong Yeh, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taiwan
People
often feel uncomfortable about using cutlery which has been in contact
with the table top. `Eat Clean` presents an elegant solution to this
problem by combining the specific shape and weight principle of a
seesaw. The parts in contact with the mouth will be kept away from the
table top whichever way round the cutlery is placed.
Sticker Phone | mobile phone
Category: industrial design
Design: Hsiang-Ling Liu, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taiwan.
Sticker
phone is an innovative eco product. It is made of natural polysiloxane,
with solar panels installed on the back. Its convex form enables it to
be stuck to a window for charging, thus reducing the need for extra
mobile phone related products. Simply stick it onto the window to absorb
sunlight wherever you are, in the car or at work. Now you no longer
have to decide between an elegant multifunctional phone and the ultimate
eco phone.
So Sweet | clinical thermometer
Category: industrial design
Design: Chun-Chia Hsu, Chiao Tung University, Taiwan
On
a psychological level, even a single clinical thermometer can make
people feel uncomfortable and like a patient. Many people don`t like the
experience of having their temperature taken. However, if we can turn
the clinical thermometers into lollipops, it will allow people to enjoy a
pleasant experience, while having their temperature taken. Even a child
can hold the `So Sweet` in the mouth; the sweet coating melts on
contact with saliva.
