Design Rumour featuring great design, architecture, fashion, graphics and innovation from across the globe.
This is a robot design base on retrofuturism in a fictional world . The Arnold-II is the second type from Arnold Industries, and it's also the most successful product. It's designed for restaurant as a waiter. Customers can directly use this robot to place orders, receive their meals, and complete the payment process. This robot will completely replace human workers in the restaurant.
Continue readingObservation of infrasound generated by natural phenomena is attracting attention In Japan, where natural disasters occur frequently. Infrasound cannot be heard and seen, but infrasound generated by volcanic eruptions, for example, can be transmitted far and can be observed from a safe distance in order to avoid disaster. In collaboration with the Earthquake Research Institute of the University of Tokyo, experimental artworks in which infrasound is visualized and made audible were created to stimulate the sixth sense, the ability to sense nature, which modern humans have lost.
Continue readingCamel Robot is a new way to show an specific brand logo for showcase purposes. It's deeply inspired by industrial machines and robotics. The design is thought-out to fit the shape of the brand logo, but in a more futuristic perspective. It's a way to play with the boundaries of a brand communication, showing it in a hi-end technical manner. The design has two levels, the outside parts and the visible interior parts, this way it can be perceived as a complex machine where each part has its own function and give the feeling that even though it's a static image the camel is alive.
Continue readingThe Polyhedron stool is a 3d printed stool that has an interaction of a closing flower. Except for one CNC processed metal component, every part is made through the 3d printer, allowing individuals to produce and reproduce themselves within small amounts (leading to numerous variations). When a flower sets, its petals gather (twirling inside). The ends go up, and the height gets changed. As grabbing its head, rotating the upper part makes pillars move and escalates the stool. The four gears inside convert circular move vertically, making the pillar's end rise.
Continue readingGeorgia is an open toe 3” block heel with a flexible 3D printed sole that feels like a sneaker and looks like a clog. The platform combines a traditional insole, midsole, outsole, and shank of a high heel into a single 3D-printed platform that embodies the performance requirements of each of these layers within a complete construction. Inset into the platform is a woven mesh of lattice that acts as a dynamic form of supportive cushion. To top it off, a soft leather upper that comes with two interchangeable strap options.
Continue readingVenous Materials project envisions a new way to design dynamic tangible interactions using fluidic Interfaces. It is a new type of interactive material that is inspired by veins systems in nature and the human body. When the user applies pressure or motion to the material, it dynamically displays geometric patterns and colors. The different patterns are displays that function as tangible sensors, that can animate dynamic graphics, create responsive objects for learning activities, and visualize body movement and balance.
