INNOVATION SPECIAL.....INNOVATIONS IN DESIGN FOR WINTER



INNOVATIONS IN DESIGN FOR WINTER

Winter has arrived, and so have cloudy mornings and chilly nights.Some interesting product concepts to not only keep you warm and cozy in the biting cold, but also allow you do it in style with bonfires and fireplaces:

Urban Bonfire: Classy Modular Radiator
This heating device emits strong visual cues that ensure you don’t forget to shut it off! With winters here, thoughtful details on heating devices can help save energy bills to quite an extent. With inbuilt LEDs that focus on the wall beside it, the device can also function as a night-light. The orange light references flames. The geometric styling of the bars was inspired by the image of wood stacked up to make an outdoor bonfire.
FireWood: Desktop Fireplace
Fireplace keeps us warm in winter, but open fire is not allowed everywhere (office, etc.). This little virtual fireplace realistically recreates the crackle and pop of burning firewood and embers right on your desktop or table.
Outdoor Thermometer: Your Weather Monitor
The Digital Outdoor Thermometer sticks on your window for a quick outdoor temperature update anytime. You can directly read the outdoor temperature whilst you’re inside in the warm or cool. Two suction cups hold this weather-resistant digital outdoor thermometer on the outside of any window, to give you a quick read on the outside temperature without having to leave the house.
Up & Down Iron: Safe & Convenient
When you think of a clothing iron – the kind you use to get clothing both dry and flat – you think of heat, and you think of how much it hurts to get burned. With the Up&Down Safety Iron, there’s no more to worry about – when you’re not holding on tight, the iron retracts – how simple! This iron’s idea is so simple, it’s one of those things you think must certainly have been thought of before. As it stands, it looks like this is simply a concept that’s just not made it to reality yet due to the cost. Source:
