Define Bottle by Carter Kostler

TheFuture — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 09:22:06 +0000

Do you love drinking fruit infused water? If you do, you might love Define Bottle which was designed by 13-year-old Carter. Carter’s mom usually cut up fruits and placed them in a large pitcher, add water and place it in the fridge where later the whole family could enjoy when they are at home. However, when they left house, they usually just drink soda or juice box, thus, inspired little Carter to create infused water portable so that the family can enjoy healthy fresh fruit infused water portable while on-the-go. With the help from an industrial design team, Carter sketches have come into reality to help us to take better control of our health by giving our bodies natural, healthy, and refreshing beverages.

TheFuture — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 11:33:58 +0000

Drink your espresso in style with V12 Espresso Machine. Limited in only 500 units, this device is by far the most gorgeous espresso machine we’ve ever seen, especially if you are into automotive art. Each machine is crafted from alloys such as magnesium, titanium, and aluminum as used in engines raced by Senna and Schumacher alike. The iconic half-scale 3-liter Grand Prix motors come alive in V10 and V12 configurations. We really love the cool feature where an oil filter works as coffee filters and the exhaust tubes actually dispense rich Italian-style coffee. Each of these machines will be hand-built by Arte Meccanica Mastrogiuseppe.

Tilt 20 Dispenser Reduces Wastage and Increases Convenience

TheFuture — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 09:40:56 +0000

Tilt 20 dispenser concept redesigns our conventional dispenser shape in order to reduce wastage and increase convenience. During a party, a big dispenser is often use to serve drinks such as punch, juice, soda, or ice tea, however as the beverage runs low, we usually tilt the dispenser forward to get the last drops. It’s an inconvenience way to pour your drink, isn’t it?

Tilt 20 dispenser concept was born out of the inconvenience above. The base of this container incorporates a chamfer to allow it stands at an angle or vertically. When the dispenser is full, its center of gravity allows it to stand vertically, while the volume of liquid becomes less and less, it can be tilted 20-degrees (now you know where the name came from) to rest on the chamfered section of its base. In this way, all remaining liquid will be pooled around the tap outlet, making it easy for anyone to dispense until the last drop of the beverage inside.

Aquaflex Concept : Innovative Underwater Hydration Pack by Jenny Watling

TheFuture — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 15:26:07 +0000

The Aquaflex concept was born from the idea of: “How can you drink when you are already in the water, but the water is undrinkable?”. In many water based activities it is important to keep the back free for effective movement and also to create as little drag as possible. Many current hydration packs are centered on the spine and restrict full motion of the back and shoulders. However Aquaflex is designed to allow for greater, freer movement in the back and shoulders whilst in the water. The Polypropylene hard shells direct water movement over the body for hydrodynamic efficiency and also allow for life jacket to be worn without compression of the soft inner hydration bladder. The fabric and seams are fully waterproofed using Radio-frequency welding and the neoprene padding provides additional comfort when the pack is worn.

Purify Water Tent by Liu Zhuang Provides A Temporary Shelter and Water Purification Device

TheFuture — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 09:35:21 +0000

The lack of water resources is becoming more and more serious particularly in Africa’s dry areas. Purify Water Tent is both temporary shelter as well as water purification device that takes advantage of the sun’s heat to purify water through evaporation and condensation. Fetching water takes a lot of effort and time, also due to the lack water purification system, these people are exposed to dirt, bacteria or any other toxic substances.

Purify Water Tent concept tries to solve this issue, user can pump up the water manually through the pipes which scale the sides of tent. There’s a storage cone at the top where the sun’s heat can help the purification process through evaporation. This purified water later then enters an outlet pipe for secondary purification process. Clean water can be accessed using a tap at the other side of tent.
