Electrolux Bio Robot Refrigerator, a concept that has been making quite a splash in the blogosphere! In lay terms, the fridge is a concept where the Bio Robot cools biopolymer gel through luminescence. A non-sticky gel surrounds the food item when shoved into the biopolymer gel, creating separate pods. The design features no doors or drawers, and the food items are individually cooled at their optimal temperature thanks to the robot. And since it can take any orientation (hung vertically, horizontally, and even on the ceiling), and can be modified in size, you can fit it in any apartment.

Adidas CAR Design in the Making?!

United Kingdom designer Chris Duff reminds us of our potential future, the one where the entire world is run by several parent corporations, most of them once small, direct idea-drivin groups, now just a name. Or is that the present? This project presents a future in which the sneaker brand Adidas will produce automotive vehicles. This project is called “Adidas Mobility” and gives us the first roller, a lightweight adaptable vehicle to epitomize the former shoe brand, current world brand.
It’s all about class. Adidas already has class. They also went to class, got so smart, then applied the intelligence to their shoes. They’ve developed many different sport-changing technologies for their footwear over the years, mixing and matching these technologies in their shoes for each different purpose they’re employed on. The same is true with this vehicle. Inspiration and education from each of Adidas’s future exploits all merge here inside this perfectly sporty auto.
A fabulous example of this technological magic is the wheel. Look at that thing down there in the gallery. It looks like a soccer (football) ball! I bet it rolls so hard and fast and fabulous that it takes the entire world by storm when they first deploy it.
This is my favorite kind of conceptual work. THe kind that, in what I’d call a sort of pop-art fashion, takes what’s already sort of there, then takes it to an entirely different place.
Same ingredients, different mix.

The iPhone 4 case That Solves the Antennae Problem

Bumpers for your iPhone are one of the suggested methods of making sure the latest handset from Apple works perfectly fine no matter how you hold it, so why not go ahead and do it in style? We’re talking about the Vapor4 bumper which is made out of aluminum and looks stunning. It depends much more on the iPhone 4 than the other way round though, since Apple’s latest phone looks great on its own. Being made of aluminum, they come with an interior liner that separates the metal from the antenna, resulting in insulating it from your hand. Such beauty will cost you though as the Vapor4 retails for $80 a pop, and topping that amount with another $100 will net you the V4Carbon, a carbon fiber back plate which offers better reception as well as protection for the iPhone 4’s glass back.
