Highland Park 50 Year Old: Stunning!

Thursday, January 20th, 2011

Not only am I a fan of single malt scotch, I’m also a fan of creative design.  The Highland Park 50 Year Old (£10,500; roughly $16,800) takes both of these to a whole new level.  Sparing no expense for this anniversary edition, it arrives in a hand-carved oak box with Sterling silver portholes to give you a glimpse of it’s unique handmade bottle inside.  The bottle is encased in an intricate weave of Sterling silver protecting that precious mahogany colored whiskey, rich and spicy tannins… alright, I’m starting to drool.

They only made 275 bottles of fine drink so if you’ve got a ridiculous amount of money you should grab one of these before they’re gone…. or get one for me.  More pictures after the jump. Read More

Adidas Originals Augmented Reality Campaign

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Augmented reality is growing in popularity but this is by far the best display I’ve seen.  For the new Adidas sneakers, the company has embedded codes in their tongues, which enables you to open up an online world via webcam at the Adidas website.  This is great advertising and product design!

Can’t wait for the iPad? Try the Notepod+

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Sure it may just look like a pad of paper with a black border and a grey dot where there would be a button, but the Notepod+ ($20) is way more than that.  It features zero bezel, infinite battery life and doubles as a mouse pad.  Basically its a GUI-sketching heaven for app developers

map2: The Zoomable Paper Map

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Are you tired of GPS and want to go back to using paper maps?  Probably not but this is still a cool design.  It’s the map2( $13) and it has four quadrants that you can zoom in on (unfold…) to enlarge for more detail.  To be honest I think it would be really cool for touristy type stuff but other than that I think I’ll stick with  Google Maps on my phone.  I know… I’m a hater.

If Marijuana was Legal, how would it look?

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Every once in a while we get on the topic of  ”What if marijuana was legal?”  and recently another question arose.  How would it be sold/packaged?  Well here’s an idea…  This is a concept by Print Magazine and I have to say, it’s some pretty nice packaging.  I mean, this could fit in at Target or Starbucks.

Squibble portable Braille interface: Design at it’s best

Friday, January 8th, 2010

As we’ve seen over the last couple months there’s a lot of crap out there.  However, this is one of those things that I consider revolutionary.  Designed for the visually impaired its a perfect example of form and function. (excuse me while I geek out a bit)

British designer Andrew Mitchell has devised a portable Braille interface called “Squibble” that provides tactile, audio and high contrast visual feedback for the blind, allowing users to access their mobile phones and other technology anytime, anywhere. Regardless of where it is used, the Squibble gives the chance for personal interaction as well as freedom, as it neatly fits into a pocket and connects via Bluetooth. Moreover, it tries to negate the stigma of assisted products and provides a stylish and desirable solution for a market segment that is often neglected.
