interesting product designs
1. Coiled Up In The Dryer
Designed by Industrial Facility For Wallpaper
I personally find this design very simple yet practical in a sense, which i think is fairly useful for everyday users of the product. The small compartment at the back acts as a sort of space/cupboard to store the wire and enables us to keep the wires in without much fuss, and most importantly it helps users to save space. Also I think it is really simple to use and I think it will garner quite an interest in the market if they were to be sold internationally.

2. Umbrella Dryer
Designed by Noh Seon Mi
Video demo on how to use it
This may seem like a normal, unclever device at first glance, but what I find really interesting about this invention is that the water collected from the wet umbrella will be gathered to water plants and flowers, which I think is very thoughtful and environmental friendly while using the device. It seems like a kill-2-birds-with-1-stone product design as other than being environmentally friendly, it can also help us humans save time and energy by squeezing or flickering the rainwater off our umbrellas.
I think major malls or shopping centres can input this device at their doorsteps, it can garner interest and help their consumers on a rainy day, and at the end of the day = clean, non wet floors in malls which will result in LESSER NEED FOR CLEANERS = SAVE MONEY $$$ + HAPPY + MORE CUSTOMERS = MORE SALES = MORE REVENUE = MORE $$$ IN
pretty beneficiary eh?

3. Power Line-up
Designed by Chen Yinfeng
To be honest this was the first product I thought which never and will exist, so this finding sort of ‘wowed’ me. However, as much as it surprised me, I have some question because I don’t quite trust the reliability and the withstand of this product overtime.
-what if too much plugs were loaded in?
-will the product overheat and explode?
-does the product have a cooler inside?
i doubt it will pass the psb (i forgot what company)’s standards of using the plugs as too much will cause a power overflow which in turn may be dangerous to use.
despite the many complains, i think it is still quite innovative to design the product in such a way to save space and look unusual.
