Check out this amazing real-life optical illusion! Is it real or not? It defies all know laws of nature! What I find interesting is that it is a physical real structure, not two dimensional as most optical illusions are. Check out how they do it here....
Take a look at a Apple's great looking phone + ipod +web browser. A product that does it all, but will it do it right? Looking exciting at first but then, where's the buttons. As I have written before, the lack of static buttons...
Check out this product that won the Kokuyo Design award. Can you believe it, its a post-it pad! Very clever idea, where the page layers are made of thin transparent material with printed coils made to look similar to that of an onion. So...
I think this might be old news, but sunny Singapore has launched its next endeavour into fostering creativity and design in the masses. Singaporeans invited to give views on re-design CNA Online (17 Nov), My Paper (p 6), ZB (p 15) and ST (p H21). 17 November...
Wow! Great spanking new images of a fully functional $100 Laptop. I want one! Source Since my last 2 posts, one which was a review on the $100 Laptop and the other on it's operating system, I heard the OLPC project had some problems getting...
Have a look at this multi-functional chair from Norwegian baby products maker Stokke. It has a very unique and interesting leg design that allows for the user to position the chair in a "work" mode, a "pondering" rocking mode and most importantly the "sleep" horizontal mode....
Quite a few significant events have happened to me in the last week, my yearly national service commitments, winning a Red-Dot, and managing to sell my home (another story on its own). Another significant event worth mentioning was the purchase of my new Nokia...

Showcased at 100% Tokyo and designed by interaction designer Crispin Jones, this Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) is a beautiful example of designing with a Haptic experience in mind. Let me tell you why. Called "PCs for Poets" this product seems targeted to specific users and...
Sometime about 2-3 years ago, the saturated consumer electronics industry, hungry for new but matured technology, has been exploring what we designers call "static" buttons. These "static" buttons are essentially non-mechanical (ie non-moving) and use electronic circuitry as a means to detect triggering contact. Function...
What happen to the Industrial Designer here? Didn't any one do a study in ergonomics or user interface? Apparently it is a: ...
Some times fiddling and hopping in between jobs or projects, or at night the moment I close my eyes to sleep, I get a massive brain wave! This often gets me out of bed and sketching! So I asked myself: What happens to the...

Wow, this is amazing. The MIT media labs are just too cool. Now, if this program could convert my sketches into a 3D model...
Simple, by using design prototypes. Which was what this product is. Make it, test it, then sell the hell out of it! One of the reasons, in the past few months why occasionally my postings have been intermittent is that my design team and I were...
