These day, I started using internet more efficiently, less facebook, more research:)) I was cheking IF Design Award. I found some simple but interesting design concept and wanted to share.
Designers: You Zen Chen, You-Ren Chen, Liu Rong-cheng, Chun-Chia Hsu
Idea: The “Colors key” uses a color-matching way allowing users to quickly find out the correct key for opening the door. The color-matching way on “Colors key” means the same color on the head of key and the keyhole of door. The sticker for the keyhole can be pushed out from the head of key and be stuck on the keyhole. When the color of key matches the color of keyhole, the door can be opened easily. The needed key can be found from a pile of keys by obviously visual color changes.
Designers: Lin, Yang-An / Liao, Ching-Chan
Idea: Most of people have the experiences of using the shower apparatus when they need to supply water or wash something.And they have also have the problems of being splashed all over by water when they forget to switch the shower nozzle over to the hydrant. The objective of this plan is to design the shower apparatus to combine the new style of faucet with its operation. Turn down to the location when you want to use the hydrant; Turn up and connect the drainpipe of the shower nozzle when you want to take a shower. The motivation of this design is to guide the users by changing their vision and operating Materials - Metal & Rubber
Designers: Seung Hee Son, Yong hee Cho
Idea: On a rainy day, when someone goes inside with a wet umbrella, the floor gets dirty and the water drops annoy others. Thus, people usually use a disposable vinyl; however, it gets wasted too much and gives negative effects on our environment. By turning over one portion of the umbrella inside out, the dry cloth appears and wraps the wet umbrella. Therefore, it helps solving the problem of the current umbrella and as it transforms as a bag, it becomes easy to carry. Not only it is portable but also it can be a very fashionable item because the inner layer, the dry cloth can be decorated with various colors and patterns.
Designers: Simone Jochim
Idea: 2Sense Protections’ idea was to create a combination to protect both the eyes and the ears. In many working situations people at the same time have contact with noise and mechanical pollution, before 2Sense it was necessary to use two different protections. The draft idea was to design ear protectors for multiple usage - it unites ear and eye protection in one product. To achieve this aim the view pane was made from polycarbonate. This can not only be used as a view pane but also as a head bow.
