I keep thinking that good humour does very well for health… Within this thought I designed some objects to bring some joy to our daily life. My goal is to draw something that despite being serious can also be playful, something with which we can take a few moments of relaxation. “LYTOGO”seeks to fulfill this purpose. This time I found inspiration in the classic �to-go� hamburger�s packages. “LYTOGO” plays with this package shape. It�s a foldable table lamp with various shades possibilities which can also be used, for example, as a jewelry box. Material: Box: �injection molded ABS thermoplastic. Lens: transparent methacrylate. Ballast: lead. Colors: Dimensions:

Read more about the general concept here: http://reubenmiller.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/09/kinetic-energy-.html
Title: Storable Kinetic Energy � a.k.a Kineticel� Baby Gear - Capturing kinetic energy in baby gear by cycling that same energy back into the gear that utilizes it, in a removable/storable form.
Description: Develop specially outfitted baby gear that utilizes energy-harnessing methods and stores it for later use in the form of a removal cell (battery).
The idea is to engineer an energy-harnessing module to recycle the massive amounts of kinetic energy expended during their use (from rocking, bouncing, etc.)
How does this pertain to energy? Consumer goods are only beginning to use kinetic-energy generation technology such as piezoelectric and elecromagnetic. My hope is to directly benefit the next generation with these technologies.
Why is this important? In 2004, 4,112,052 births were registered in the United States. If only a quarter these babies’ used a battery-operated bouncer seat each year, over 6.2 million D-batteries would be consumed. This represents just a fraction of the baby gear that uses battery power. We need to curb this consumption.
BUSINESS PLAN - KINETICEL� BABY GEAR
Summary: If 10,000 dollars were available to research and develop a working prototype, this would be the start of a whole range of devices that can 1- access kinetic energy, 2- store it and 3- keep it modular and easily reusable.
The challenge would be to engineer a module small enough to be built into a stroller, swing or bouncing seat. The transfer of the energy to a removable storable unit (cell) �would be another challenge.
Core technologies: The energy-generation technologies that may be best suited for this project are piezoelectric (generated by vibrations) or electromagnetic (friction of copper coils over a magnet.)
Requirements for development: This project requires the expertise of electrical engineers to develop the core functioning unit (made of two parts) A- the generator, and B- the storage module.
An industrial engineer will be necessary to incorporate the core device into the baby bouncer seat or swing and design its form.
A working prototype must be built, with cost analysis for a marketable price point. The product (or product line) will be marketed to a higher-income, eco-savvy consumer that is looking to buy this product for its ‘green’ qualities rather than as a cost saving measure.
Strategic considerations: Baby gear specifically is a great starting point for the Kineticel concept since babies are always born and the amount of dollars spent on baby-related gear is very high. Nearly every household with a baby will buy a swing, baby bouncer and stroller and each of these are potentially able to harness kinetic energy using the model above.

Inspired by the poetic imperfection of nature, warp is a handmade table, therefore every table is unique like all natural structures.
Organic and elegant were the two concepts I was looking for.
The hard metal foot is in contrast with the warm wood but due to its organic shape it creates harmony between this two materials.

Target Clock started as a graphical reduction of the traditional clock hand motif and eventually led to the idea of two moving discs of flat contrasting colour,the boundaries indicating the hand positions. The resulting minimal icon-like graphic makes it more readable from long distance than a conventional clock.
