15 Incredible Conceptual Designs You Wish Existed

February 17th, 2009 | 72 Comments

Imagine the first person that ate a shrimp. That ugly little creature from the sea ended up to taste so damn good. On the otherside, consider the poor guy who first tried some stunningly good looking, bright red, little fruits hanging from bushes only to

find out that they were deadly poisonous.

It clear that both shrimps and poisonous red berries didnt have a product test before being exposed to the humans, just like

we have today with consumer products.

This article gathers a group of 15 useful and enticing conceptual designs that for several reasons may never reach the

production stage, but may set a trend and definitely make us wish they really existed.

From the designers site: The design of the glasses drew on athletically inspired designs and focused on providing wide

protective coverage. This goal also conveniently aided in allowing the lens to fully cover augment the eyes field of view.

The Hindsight concept uses Fresnel lenses integrated into the sides of simple eyewear to enhance a bicyclists field of view. In

this example, the rapidly approaching taxi is seen sooner in the Hindsight lens than without. Read full description

ONE folding bicycle by Thomas J. Owen

From the designers site: One provides a real solution to the problems involved with urban transport. With congestion

rapidly clogging up the roads the need for products that can free individuals from their car are in real demand. When open,

One is a comfortable stylish bicycle that not only offers all the benefits of cycling (like cheap travel and exercise) but with

its revolutionary power assist system the user can cruise around with ease. When folded, One turns into a smooth, light and

compact case free of all dirty and protruding parts. One can be easily carried, stowed and stored. One is truly a bike for

eco and money minded individuals alike. Its stylish design strips it from the folding bike stigma and makes it a bike for the

21st century. Read full description

Juke Brick by Yon-U Cho

From Yanko Design: Instant Portable Concert: When more than two Jukebricks are gathered together, every Jukebrick

becomes a separate performer. We can listen to the sound from each instrument or vocal. Exact sound sources [can be

determined] from ordinary music using Music 2.0 technology.Instant Portable Theater: Just attach more than 2 Jukebricks side by side and the screen is extended double and more. Also,

as speakers are added, we can enjoy 3-way or 4-way channel surround speakers outside with friends. Read full description

Torillo rotating stool by Diego Moreno

From Yanko Design: Its a rotating stool. Thats all to be quite frank but design isnt just about function but also how it

communicates to us; be it a futuristic envisage or a nostalgic herald. I think the Torillo stool falls into the latter. The top part

of this stool rotates 360. Just grab a hold of the horns and give it a whirl. Read full description

Paint or die but love me by John Nouanesing

From Core77 blog: No its not real but youve got to give French designer John Nouanesing props for his collection of

concepts including this table which while needing some structural help is pretty fun. Read full description

VIRTUO by Yana Klimava


16 12.03.2009 14:38


4/16

From the designers site: VIRTUO is a digital art toolset that helps art novices develop their artistic side. Extensive

research and testing resulted in the products form and function. VIRTUO uses sensors and light to mix digital color and apply

it to a screen. Read .full description

An electronic musical instrument by Petr Hampl

From the designers site: A set of a recorder, a glove with sound sensors and a pair headphones helps musicians create and

record their own sounds and rhythms. The point is in friction between surfaces and sensors. Different types of surfaces

enable to make sounds and to create a rhythm by tapping. The recorder attached to the glove runs a software which records

sounds in preset modes and plays them via wireless headphones in real time. Such record is an input for further editing and

electronic music creation. Read full description

IC3 High tech cutlery by Alex Schulz


16 12.03.2009 14:38


5/16

From Yanko Design Blog: The IC3 concept consists of a computerized shaft with 3 interchangeable eating apparatuses;fork, spoon, and knife. The fork analyzes composition such as fat, protein, sugars. The spoon measures weight, and the knife

takes temperature readings. Together this info creates a detailed report on what youre eating, helpful to those with diabetes

and nutritional sufficiency. Gone are the days of lying to your doctor, yes I ate my 5 servings of veggies. The IC3 concept

is currently on display at the Designparcours Munich 2008 exhibition. Read full description

PEBBLES stone grill by Yongju Kwak, Dongbin Shin, Kukil Han &

Young-Seong Kim

From Yanko Design Blog: Use the ancient power of water-smoothed rocks with the stone-grill concept Pebbles. It will

make your healthy fish-devouring ways a cinch! Just unroll the Pebbles grill, locate the knob which switches the grill on, use

it once again to turn the temperature to the correct level, wait a bit, just a bit!, and take them fish outta there. Turn the

pebbles off and eat them fishes!. Read full description

Sand+Time watch by Pavel Balykin


16 12.03.2009 14:38


6/16

According to Designer Pavel Balykin, this watch works in a screensaver mode. The pixelated sand doesnt count the time, it

is just both decorative and ludic. To read the actual time you have to press a button and the time is displayed using

conventional (er, sort of) digital numbers. Visit the designers site

Magic Spheres wall speakers by Morteza Faghihi

From the designers site: In order to have a more enjoying music, make around space harmonious with your favorite music.

The speakers are designed to be installed on the wall and to create commensurate light effects with music. These speakers

were designed so that they can also be a decorative element on the wall. The visualizations can be changed based on the

arrangement of the speakers on the wall.. Read full description

Lane Light by Alex Tee and Evan Gant


16 12.03.2009 14:38


7/16

From Dustbowl Blog: A close brush with a distracted driver is enough to intimidate the most avid bikers from riding at

night. The problem isnt just about visibility, as safety lights are effective at capturing the attention of a driver. However,

these lights are typically constrained to the bike frame, which highlights only a fraction of the bikes envelope. Read full

description

Flying Stick Camera by Tsunho Wang

From Yanko Design Blog: The title should be enough to explain what this is. In case it isnt, its a flying stick with a

camera! Rub it between your palms to get some kinetic energy stored up. Then release and the Flying Stick automatically

takes pictures at set intervals. You know what they say, everybody looks 5 lb lighter when photographed from above. No

mention of specs like camera resolution or memory but hey its a concept. If anything, its supposed to get your mindthinking, not criticizing. Read full description

Dual Music mp3/CD Player by Young-Seong Kim

From Yanko Design Blog: You want to enjoy your audio CDs while traveling but you also have a huge MP3 collection at

home that you want to take with you. The ideal solution? DMP, a portable music player that supports CD and MP3 files. Use

the MP3 player as you normally would, hang it around your neck, clip it on your jeans or place it in your pocket. Otherwise

open both sides and insert your favorite CD and you got yourself a CD player my friend. Now thats music to my ears. Read

Toast Messenger by Sasha Tseng

From Yanko Design Blog: Nothing gets your morning going like a cup of joe and a piece of toast slathered in your favorite

spread. Of course, it can also be the time of day when things are hectic to start. Kids running around, people in and out,everyone trying to remind everyone else about the super important soccer meet after school. Next time, put it on toast. This

toaster by Sasha Tseng incorporates a little message board where one can read quick notes. The message also gets toasted

into the toast itself so it gives new meaning to read while you eat. Read full description

went out? and how is it ment to spin? my favorites are the toaster and the table1

justin Says:


Some interesting ideas, but the folding bicycle is a joke (like most of the ones you see 3D renders of online). Im afraid

there are some industrial designers out there who have no idea how the systems they try to design would actually

work. In my opinion, good form follows functionnot the other way around.

13.

Steve Hines Says:


The red-paint table by John Nouanesing is one of the most imaginative and beautiful things Ive ever seen, reminiscent

of the work of Italian industrial designer Ettore Sottsass. This should be submitted to Domus magazine in Milan for

publication, and the table should go directly to MOMA in New York.

The red bicycle land light by Alex Tee and Evan Gant should be put into production immediately. This is very practical

and useful and easy to implement.

great but I wonder how comfortable it would be.

The toaster is a cool thing!!! I will draw angels or butterflys for the girls and cars or guns for the boys ! Very funny!!!

But if I have to make a choice the Lane Light cuoud be easy to implement and could save lives. Anotehr ones I would

imagine how could it work without chain!!!!.
