Modai phone concept

in , , ,

New York based designer Julius Tarng revealed his senior project for humanizing mobile devices. The concept of Modai phone answers the question "How can we enhance the relationship between user and device?". Making the device a trusted companion (it has emotions) with a happy human interaction (it has intuition) and sustainable environment (it has smart hardware upgrade system) Julius gives Modai a unique conceptual twist. The more you get into the project the more you love it. Discover more on his portfolio website http://tarng.com

Polaboy frames

in , , ,

I got in to the Polaroid culture when I was ten with a proud colour one "Assembled in the USSR". This was a high times, today Swissmiss made a huge flashback and now I really want to install Polaboy frame featuring some of the photos from my past. Smart and simple idea and citing Swissmiss: "Polaboys are enlarged Polaroids to a scale of 10:1 (to 88x107cm) and backlit. They are 20 mm thick and use energy-saving LED area lights. The frame is wooden and they are made in Germany. Also good to know: The photographs can be changed at any time and you can even send your custom image."
