Help Remedies
September 30th, 2009

“Help Remedies was created to make solving simple health issues simple.” By focusing on the solution rather than the brand name, this company brings a fresh new approach to marketing basic health care products. The packaging is also compostable. Help was developed by Richard Fine and Nathan Frank, two young advertising executives from NY.

Cooka - “placemat stove” by Maurizio Maiorana
September 29th, 2009

I wish I had one of these when I was in university, what a wonderful idea - to be able to have a lightweight, portable stove for whenever you need it.  Or imagine having an oven in your kitchen, with no permanent stovetop - just coveted counterspace everywhere - you just plop out your placemat stovetop whenever/wherever you need it. The Cooka placemat stove is created of non-toxic LSR (Liquid Silicon Rubber) that you can roll up and stow away easily. The cooking plates heat up/cool down rapidly with silver thermal conduction.

‘Live On Water’ Superyacht
September 29th, 2009

This beast was built by Monaco based yacht maker Wally Construct in conjunction with Paris-based high-fashion luxury brand Hermes. With comfort in mind, this unique hull apparently tested incredibly well, showing very little movement in full swell. The designers also integrated a number of environmentally friendly features, including 900 square feet of solar paneling that feeds energy into its diesel electric engine. You can read and see more at WHY Yachts.

Santiago Calatrava

Calatrava’s high speed rail station in Belgium. There’s a solid overview on Inhabitat here, or you can check out the company site here (tons of excellent work to peruse). If the style looks familiar, he was the designer behind Toronto’s BCE Place.

Omar Argel

An incredibly smart reinvention of wall outlets by this Vancouver industrial designer and architect. He’s streamlined these outlets in such a way that makes you wonder why on earth we ever used the old ones. Have a look at his website here. Also, an interesting interview with Ego Design here.
