Designed to rotate on a 23.4 degree slanted axis like the globe, DORA CD Player grabs your attention with its clever gimmick design. This could have been another drab rectangular gadget, meant to seduce you with textures and colors, but thankfully it isn’t! The CD loads into the back panel, while the speakers are placed in the front. I love the catchy remote that accompanies this player; spin my world right round, like a record…..

Water Discus Underwater Hotel looks like a spaceship hotel, it comprises of two giant discs, one underwater and one above the water. Due to this architecture, guests can enjoy jaw dropping underwater views while taking the most of the warm climate. Those two discs are connected together by three solid legs and a vertical shaft containing a lift and stairway. For the discs’ structures, they can be adjusted depending on the local conditions. The underwater disc is located 10 meters beneath the su
All said and done, the Ö Case makes better sense as an iPhone Case than any others that I have seen. Two things that make this concept win its brownie points: A screen-cleaning slider that cleans those oily finger marks off the screen and a special nook to wind and store your earphones.

Life Light is perfectly visible in low light and night, making it an efficient and practical lifesaver and emergency buoy by the sea. The upside is that it relies on renewable energy sources to keep the LEDs working at night. It even features an LED water battery. So far the flipside are none, except that it’s still a concept. What do you say? Life Light is a 2012 iF Design Talents winner. Designers: Tso Chu-Hao, Hsiang Hao-Tien & Chuang Tsung-Hua - Yanko Design Timeless Designs - Exp

Smart Angle is a visual aid for flame control on a gas stove. While cooking Chinese food, the hot Wok and ingredients are not the only thing you need to have a control over. The heat or the flame of the gas is the other key element you need to keep an eye on. The conventional way to control the flame is to bend at the waist and peek at the burner and then set the flame. Smart Angle eliminates this dangerous step by using refraction. As the designers explain, Smart Angle helps the user to be mor
