Gaining your experience by discovering new trends of art and design.

Experience of a designer is not automatic available somewhere in mind but is transformed from existent history and knowledge to newer ones. By exploring new design trend from all over the world, you at least have some idea about the concepts people are aiming to. Not all of them are good, effective, but it has some experience to imitate.

Breaking The Rules Of Design - Vertikal Vodka's Neckless Bottle

Sometimes it’s a turning point when breaking rule of design, resulting in the unique character. Why do all bottles have a neck? The Non Object design group represents their creativity by deciding to break the rule and design a vodka bottle with out a neck. The result is the Vertikal Vodka in a neckless bottle.

For me, this is the result of technical creativity, not from random mind. Applying scamper technique, designer eliminated the tradition element (the neck) from thousand years but everyone is not brave enough to leave out this element, to recognize that it is not really necessary.

Just look at the bottle, it’s still an elegant design, evoking the deluxe edition, emotion, while controlling cost implications, engineering complexity and manufacturability. (yankodesign)

Virtual Forest - New Bathroom Concept

A new concept for the bathroom is virtual forest, simulating the forest environment, a fresh and green air that everyone loves. This is not really creative but by combining two different elements (bathroom and forest), the designer can entirely create new concept. And it’s in fact interesting.

Garbage as Art

What an innovative idea of use garbage to represent art. The saying ‘one man’s garbage is another man’s treasure’ is true when German artists created an exhibit of 1000 statues fashioned entirely of refuse. Substituting garbage for steel, cement, they are still statue but bring whole new concept and the message within. Actually, these statues can save thousand kilograms of garbage.

TiFinity - $50 Titanium Toothbrush

Never having a thought that science is friend of design, you should consider again. The TiFinity is a new design by dentist Dane Robinson from Arizona. By putting to another use of titanium, the toothbrush is now ultra fine and even softer than a regular soft toothbrush. With this new toothbrush, space between teeth and the gums where bacteria hides is no longer the nightmare. Titanium doesn’t absorb water and is thus more bacteria resistant and also lasts longer, unlike nylon. According to Robinson’s tests it should last 2 years. In conclusion, it’s the most durable and more hygienic, according to Dr. Dane Robinson.

Maybe there’s no evolution of the shape, but the value is really a far step from the previous origin.

Japanese School Girl Computer Case Design

This maybe crazy but still new design and pretty creative, in my opinion.

This is an actual computer case, inspired by one of the Japanese school girl character in Manga. The sexy model was named Kana. The outcome of the mod was successful and the design won various awards in computer events and case modding.

Adapting the theme of computer case is not new, the creativity is how you mod it. And School Girl Computer Case really changes the concept of a computer case. Putting it n your room, it somehow becomes your friend, your decorative doll, and I think this is the goal that the designer aims to. But it is hart to define the target of this doll. It’s not for children (because she’s a little bit sexy), but even for adult, who’s brave enough to bring this doll to home to show off with their wives or girlfriends. And it really takes the place.

However, you know it’s from Japan. Who knows what Japanese think?
