The aXbo sleep phase alarm clock gives the user the feeling of having woken up all by himself. Crucial for its functional design were the latest findings in sleep research. Studies show that we pass through several sleep phases each night, alternating between deep sleep, light sleep and dream phases. Each of these phases is characterised by different body motions. The sleep phase alarm clock uses the activity that occurs in each of these phases. To do so, a motion detection system has been integrated into a comfy terry-cloth wristband, memorising all physical motions and transmitting them to the alarm clock. In this way, the aXbo registers which sleep phase the user is in at any time, and calculates the optimal wake-up moment within 30 minutes of the desired wake-up time. This turns waking up into a gentle experience makes for a smooth and relaxed start to the day.

Do you think that you can have both the luxury of a car and a yacht ? If your answer is no, then think again, because that combination might happen sometimes in the future. BMW Designworks USA has worked with Belgian boatbuilder Zeydon to produce a 60-foot clas yacht, perhaps BMW will use the term of ‘Luxury Sports Cruiser’, since BWM usually refers to luxury SUV. This yacht is designed to fulfill the desire of having luxury yachting and great performance sailing.


The Zeydon Z60, an offshore yacht of the 60-foot class, combines the sailing performance potential of an offshore yacht with an ‘uncompromising’ range of equipment and the elegance of a modern luxury cruiser. DesignworksUSA was incorporated into the conceptual work during the initial phase of the project. It is believed that partnering in the project from the very beginning ensures that all requirements – both for performance and luxury – can be Read the rest of this entry »
