Genie – Motion Control Device

The Genie by Syrp is a clever idea for adventurous filmers. Watch the Kickstarter video for an explanation of the possibilities. Look at the photo above for a rough idea. The possibilities for new angles and unusual timelapse shots are endless. Fund the project on Kickstarter if it's for you.

Stack Infinite Soapbar

The Stack soapbar deals with an age old problem:
Once a bar of soap gets really thin, it's near unusable.
Stack deals with this by having an indentation in the new bar, that the used bar fits into. Hence the infinate bar subtitle.
Fund it on Kickstarter.

Crowdfunding

I love the idea of crowdfunding, democratizing the financing of a project.
Test the value of your idea by putting it out there and seeing if you get the support of the community.
I've invested in a couple of projects so far and haven't regretted it.
Core77 has a comprehensive article on the subject on their website.
There are a few platforms for crowdfunding, well worth browsing to see if a project piques your interest:
Kickstarter
Indiegogo
Quirky
Projektstarter

Sealed Watch by b.o.a.t.

b.o.a.t. stands for be optimistic and thankful. A beautiful name for a very thoughtful product.
The dials are actually handmade seals, that are created according to the owners specifications.
The seal metaphorically fixes a moment in time, creating quite a poetic object. There are two types of dials and several colours for the seals and cases to choose from.

Plicate watch for NAVA by Benjamin Hubert

The Young British Designer Benjamin Hubert has created this watch for Italian accessory manufacturer NAVA.
The face is folded like fan and the creases mark the indexes. The theme of the creases is also carried through in the design of the strap. A pure and clever shape.

Contour Crafting

3D printing is all the rage these days. The concept of contour crafting takes the idea to another level. Imagine not building your house, but printing it with fast setting concrete.
Designer Sebastian Bertram has taken the idea of contour crafting, that has been around for a while and designed a very realistic robot to do the work.

Transparent OLED Light Source

The transparent hexagons in the roof of this Smart concept car are actually also light sources illuminating the interior when it's dark. A transparent layer of OLED's can be turned on to emit light when needed. The video is heavily loaded with propaganda for BASF, but the idea is sound in my opinion.
