Well done guys . I like this IDASIA home a lot……good job.. keep it going
All right thanks Zampik! Nice to here from you!
Wow, the Design Blog Carnival sounds really cool and promising! I’m looking forward to it.
Hi Veron,
I hope you can participate!
Please stay tune for the latest news!
Hi,
Thanks for the welcome note, Porro. Sorry that I have missed it early.
Sure glad to be in the team. I guess it will be easy for us to work together as Sunboar and I were classmates before and both of us have worked with Porro on a project before.
So lets hope we will be able to come out with more good works as we join hands together again.
Cheers!
I like the compact car, but I have a feeling my wife might not!
Cool. We’ve listed you. Cheers.

Looks more like a Lotus Elise actually…
Hello porro, where did you find it. look like some kind of student exercise/work. This doesn’t have much corporate marks of Lamborghini, just logo. And what about last picture? Is quite different car then pics above.
Now that’s a targetted advert.
Hi Zampik,
Got it from the Autoblog, its seems is a next gen Diablo. The link is in the post.
I know its pretty good stuff!
maybe is some king of tunning… design… argentina custom build….some other rebuilds you can see on http://www.e-lamborghini.com/
Hmm quite true and it could well be!
But its a bit extreme for me, and taste wise could appeal only to a select few people.
Extreme is quite right word for this… strange shapes bubbles…etc….
I love it! Looks damn cool. Something like out of the Back to the Future movie.
So this was the project that you were talking about.
It is great.
Anyway, nice talking to you at my Grad. show.
Cheers.
Hahahaha… Thanks Jool!
Yeah, the pleasure is mine.
i like it. Somehow it reminds me of the IDAsia.org logo.
Wouldn’t it be cool to turn our logo into a lamp?
^^
Heh-heh quite true actually. We are speaking to them for a special deal!
I’d checked out that un-clicking navigation before.
It’s strange. Quite innovative. I don’t think it’ll take off though.

Some of our novel ideas to raise our design appreciation in Singapore. Do Visit us and give us your comments. http://www.nusindustrialdesign.com/
This is so Cool! Where to buy it??
It looks great. Very fashionable right now. However as a plant enthusiast I have to tell you that those planters are woefully undersized and that most herbs will be killed by the container. Rosemary, for example, should reach six foot or a little over 1.8 meters in height. While the art of bonzi could be brought to work here the requirement to make them look good after six months in terms of skill alone… for most it will not happen.
Hi. Many thanks for the feedback. It was the design intention of this thesis project to give the opportunity for those living in high-rise buildings the space for gardening, and hence, it cannot accomodate larger herbs such as Bay or allowing plants to grow any larger than 20cm in height. As a product catering to small homes, it should be able to be placed conveniently on the table and take up minimal space. As part of my research, I grew herbs such as Basil, Tarragon and Sage and they thrived quite well in cups, and they were also enough for me to prepare pesto for my spaghetti and garnish my dishes. However, I do agree that there is much design potential in being able to allow bigger plants to be brought into small homes so as to better integrate nature into our increasingly modern homes.
Having grown up in southern california and lived in Hawaii, I am an avid beach goer and this is a fantastic product. It combines comfort and fun into one product that can easily be transported. Nice job.
Can we hope shop this wonderfull product soon ? I want it (and my baby too) – thanks for your beautiful job
Will always remember Pininfarina as the designer of our local Bendy Bus.

Having a passion for design, I think it is important to continue learning. And through-out my 3 years in NUS, design thinking is strongly emphasized. This provide me with a skill to further come up with design innovation that hope to solve daily problems. What I had gone through is a case study of a local design student hoping to do good design.
In any case, there are many learning opportunities out there where we can learn from one another, and hope that we can create a strong design community in this little island- Singapore. Have fun!
During the 7 days of the exhibition, as the Head of publicity, I got great responses from the public. A number of companies are interested in realizing our ideas, and some are interested in collaborating with the students on new projects. There were instances where the public wanted to buy some of the FYP models instantly! Thinking that they were real products. This shows that the time & effort that my classmates had put in for their models are worth it.
Keep up the good work and good luck guys!
Brian do you know if any of the graduates are interersted to enter their models into our SDF 07 online Exhibition?
Please let me kno?
Nice, any idea where i can get it?
What a shining color, I love it?

Erm… that’s the like ugliest iPhone casing I’ve ever seen. Can’t believe it came from Oakley.
Hm. Good idea, but it seems to me that the bag could pull the lids off of cups that don’t fasten as securely.
Still, great work.
It appears to me that the holes do not grab the lids, the “bag” holds the cup below the lid.
Tomohashi : I don’t think the holder will go that for up the cup, it will likely use the fact that the cup get wider towards to to get a grip on it.
Love it love it love it
I like it, personally. I don’t think that the lids are supporting the weight of the cups, though. It is probably just the angle of the cup widening out until the cup is wider than the hole in the bag. Which leaves having the bag be strong enough as the only problem.

Love that coffee bag!I always seem to tilt the little box the salesperson puts coffees in.Great idea.
~ Bunny
i love how you point out the fact that there is “less material used”. the entire act of buying coffee shop coffee is so wasteful that “less material” is pointless. take a look at the amount of paper/plastic cups thrown away all over the world each day and try to do something worthwhile with youre designs.
Might be different around where you come from, but it’s nothing new to me. (I’m from Denmark).
We have a similar thing that was made so you could care more beer (says a lot
)
Been around for as long as I can remember. (I’m 25 and I know for sure that they existed when I was 15)
They carry five beers but no napkins, and even without lids they are pretty stable.
Anyways Raymonds is right about them not resting on the lids, and I can say two cups of coffee weights less than five 0.4L beers, which by experience I know even a wet “bag” can handle
As a designer, I would love to believe this statement and buy this shirt. As a thinker, I must point out that it is a lie. Nearly every product that exists has some aspect of it that causes harm to humanity or the environment in which humans exist. Think sweatshops in China, heavy metals in electronic products, or greenhouse gasses released through production and transportation. Nearly all products, in a relatively short time-frame, end up as landfill.
Design distracts us from these facts, hides the negative aspects of what we consume, and often stokes our desire for more stuff we don’t need.
Just saw this and although is an old post, i think is quite a repulsive project. If alessi is trying to enter the asian/chinese market with this product that obviously stereotypes asian features into slanted slitty eyes, it has no chance. For the american or italian markets where they like kitschy portrayals of oriental culture and to invoke a laugh maybe this will sell, but for a design concscious or affluent chinese homeowner to buy this and put it in their house so that they can feel amused by these caricatures of their culture and features? Not in a million years. This is for tourists in cheap tourist shops, and unbefitting for the collection of alessi nor the taiwan national museum.

Where can I get one? I love lighting.
If you are interested in an (insert for) ethanol fireplace, please have a look at http://opdecodesign.googlepages.com/. Quite a good choice and fair prices.
I really love your blog. You have brought a lot of good ideas of design to me and folk. Thank you.
They kinda remind me of the Xbox 360, which given the red ring of death, might be the most appropriate use for the case.
I think there should be another bottle in the middle and on the other end. That would kill the flow problems.
These wallets are pure garbage. I bought one last year liking how they looked and the way they were completely different from everything else out there. I used it for a solid 6 mos to give it a chance. I got more than a fair share of comments on the wallet. Pulling out a big orange placard for a wallet catches people’s attention.
That is the only thing that was even remotely positive I have to say about this product.
NEVER, EVER buy one.
Somehow, looking at a screen and drawing somewhere else at the same time, is not the most intuitive and ergonomic way of sketching digitally.
Anyway, the design looks great.

where can i purchase the milkglass lights?
it kind of reminds me of foot binding..
hey i wana have this shoes where is ur store i live in mission viejo california
As the owner of a parrot and two aquariums, I think this would be a real pain in the butt to clean.
But I guess designers don’t worry about practicalities.
So what about the garbage that gets inevitably gets clogged in your gutters, like leaves and dirt? They’d have to be filtered out and are likely to clog the bottles up as well. Also, the rainwater will have been running off a roof, which is covered with tar and other adhesives along with whatever the roof itself is made. Couldn’t those chemicals contaminate the water and make it toxic?
How nifty! Brilliant.
That would be great if you always have clean gutters and rust proof roofs
THIS IS INGENIOUS!
Am I right to assume this system provides drinking water ?
Seems like a good idea but I fear the amount of weight could rip the gutter system down. Lets just recycle the bottles and get a water barrel instead?
Wash you hands with e-coli bacteria?
Very interesting project. The one issue might be reports that I have heard about commercial water bottles actually only being good to use the first time, and that refilling these bottles degraded the bottle into the water somewhat and has carcinogens in them. Its possible they’ve been yet to be proven, but some research in that department might be necessary before your system could be fully realized. Don’t want to solve one problem while causing another after all.
So for the rain drops system, you basically just release the water after use? I wonder if this wouldn’t be the best water to use on a garden? Nice site, haven’t got to the design part, that’s why I came here lol
Kewl! Thats very nice. A talented student indeed
heh, that’s a funny one
Great idea! Why let all that rain go down the drain?
One or two maybe, but a water barrel would no doubt be a better solution. Ten of these on the average gutter and the gutter will be laying on the ground wasting all the water.
wow ; very creative and “double” eco; is there a prototype?
very goood
that is verry nice, genius really, coz its fabric there will be no dents or door lines improving the airodynamics of the car haha, pure genius. BRAVO
MOVE TO THE USA SO WE CAN BUY ONE!!!!
EVIL PEOPLE

its cancelled officially
and the one with the diagram is NOT of X-Seed 4000, instead it is of Shimzu Mega City Pyramid.
Magnificent design, but anyone who really rides a bike can see it simply does not work even on smooth streets. Being a designer and a biker myself I can say you can not have the wheels attached to the frame like that. In imagination, where everything is possible, it makes a very fine look….but not a feasible bike.
I want to say – thank you for this!
stupid idea.
i love this cleats and i want to know in what store i could find them .i live in l.a
Good Design
neocube is great toy, I play with each day few hours still not eunght?
Weird, I used to walk by Bugis quite often and never noticed it until I read this article. I was there yesterday to look, it is very impressive indeed.
To store the rain water is great ideea, but this bottle concept is wrong.
We can use a bigger water storage and with a mecanical pump …
I bought one of these last year (08) and have used it for the first time this weekend. It is easy to use and there are no paint drips and it is fairly fast. The downside is that once it has cleaned itself I have to take bits apart and wash the paint off them and this all seems to take as long as rinsing out things after using a paint roller. Am very tempted to sell it on! Marks out of 10 – say 6
this is a fucking terrible idea. not very well thought out. fuck you for wasting money making it.
I can see the artistic natural of natural curves, but functionally, the bike is ridiculous.
Basing it on a “Harley Chopper” base is its real distraction.
I’ve been doing a little research on the Ivy-Armchair by the designer Paulo Navone and have realized that it looks almost identical to Shiro Kuramata’s “How high the moon” design. Its funny how its not acknowledged as a source of inspiration…
how to format samsung sgh e840
I think is very clever actually!
in Australia a lot of people use water collected from the roof especially in farms out in the bush. The gutter only needs a simple filter that is very easy to install mine has one of those.It could be good in spots that don’t allow for a water tank.
I wouldn’t drink it, but wash your hands and watering the garden would be great! I assume that once the bottles are full the water goes down, so you could put as much bottles as the gutter can actually hold..
if plastic bottles contain carcinogens why would they be good even the first time? they are probably bad full stop..but still I think the system is very interesting maybe it could come with safe bottles of its own of a different material..?
The third one is very sarcastic. lol
One cute drop of water :p and you can get drops of water from the big drop of water :p
Excellent Designs
Nice USB drives! The big-headed ones are so cute.
This space ship is very good looking. It’s sweet.
Interesting design. Especially to be useful in those places, where problems with water. So the technology allows to collect a maximum of water flowing down with a roof.
