Tikk-Tekk Rainbow

Guopeng Liang — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 17:05:31 +0000

Remember when we were kids, we used to point out two fingers to measure our surrounding objects. We held the position and compared with our friends, having great fun. However, such pleasure could hardly be enjoyed by the visually impaired, nor do they share the same sense of space or distance as we do.

Tikk-Tekk Rainbow is a low-cost universal measuring tool between finger tips. Apart from printed digits and embossed Braille, the “Tikk, tikk… tekk!” knocking feedback is handy for everybody, and is also pleasant to play with. At the precision of 1cm, the string extends 100cm, enough for daily use.

Tikk-Tekk Rainbow consists of two parts. They are magnetically connected, which is easy for a blind people to organize and carry when after use.

Tikk-Tekk Rainbow is very easy to use and carry around in your pocket.

iBasket combines washing machine and laundry hamper. Take off your daily clothes, leave them inside and let iBasket do the rest. Its nice transparent body allows you to see through. It removes odors by sucking in fresh air. When clothes accumulate to a certain amount, it automatically starts washing. There’s no need to push a single button. iBasket uses electrolytic water (zero detergent) to clean and kill bacteria. Once a cycle is done, the Wi-Fi connected basket will send a message to your PC or mobile. iBasket makes cloth-cleaning an unattended operation, saving time and energy for students and hard-working talents to enjoy their weekends.

Kissin’ Fish

Guopeng Liang — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 14:30:12 +0000

As population grows continuously, in 2015, restaurants will become more crowded than today during the dining hours. Table will be made smaller so as to increase its number to accommadate more people at the same time. Every inch of space on the table will become more precious and the necessary accessories will have to find their way up, away from the table, above it, haha!

This is a set of salt and pepper shaker named Kissin’ Fish. The shakers, fishes, with embed magnet behind their lips, are sticked to a polished metalic surface hang above the dining table. The reflection from the polished surface completes the image of two lovely fishes kissing lip to lip.

This set of hanging cutlery does not only free up the space on the table, but also adds sense of humor to the dining atmosphere.
