Did you see anything cool lately? What's a 2010 trend worth mentioning?
The Addictlab ' TOP 15' Coolest Design concepts is ready.
We're just finalising things with Science of the Time on the format.
Addictlab and www.scienceofthetime.com started an interesting win win collaboration.
Science of the time is one of the world’s leading trends & innovation research agencies.
On their website they publish every six weeks their Top 15 of the Coolest Worldwide.
This attracts about 15.000 companies worldwide to the website. The Top 15 is also published in newspapers and/or trademagazines in The Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and Brazil. With chances in China, Australia and the UK.
We are proud that Science of the time has selected us as the most promising network when it comes to cool design and cool design concepts. The company has invited us to produce a whole Top 15 of the Coolest Design and Design concepts worldwide to be published by the end of the year.

 | The prints we make for our 'daily use' not only use paper, but also ink. But your ink cartridges (or toner) could last longer. Appealing ideas are often simple: how much of a letter can be removed while maintaining readability? After extensive testing with all kinds of shapes, the best results were achieved using small circles. After lots of late hours (and coffee) this resulted in a font that uses up to 20% less ink.

 | In order to spread illumination, a iving flower is selected with a hollow stalk; such as an Amaryllis. The use of a cylinder glass (acrylic plastic) in the foot makes the bottom waterproof. Placing the hollow stalk over the lighting tube makes an illumination possible from within the stalk of the Amaryllis. The plant does not suffer from the Neon light; it is able to grow according to a normal process via the water in the vase. |

 | Spanish designer Oscar Diaz has created a cutlery set made from plastic bottles. The set, called Found, is made by plating the plastic first in copper and then in tin. The spoon, fork, and knife, have all been made from parts of existing bottles found at the local supermarket. The parts were selected so the cutlery is easy to pick up from the table and performs like any other cutlery. via Marike Hechter (South African Labambassador) research area : New Lifestyle / Learn from the past |
