The Wireless, Shape-Shifting Hairdryer That’s Designed To Dock

-
Building on the running consensus that life is too short for bulky, clunky products, the Docking Hairdryer by Jeongjin Ko features a clever, rotating handle that transforms the hairdryer’s shape from an L-shaped product to a linear one, allowing it to make a slimmer footprint, and to dock perfectly into its charging stand, becoming an overall cylindrical mass that’s beautiful to look at.

Jeongjin’s hairdryer explores different proportions, with a shorter, wider body, and a long, slim handle. The two masses intersect at a swiveling 45° miter joint, allowing the handle to go from perpendicular to parallel simply by rotating it. The wireless hairdryer, with its charging pins located at the base of the handle, can be docked cleanly into its charger stand, where its battery gets juiced up for another day of hair-drying. The docked unit can easily fit into travel bags and suitcases too!

Designer: Jeongjin Ko

Wynd Smart Air Quality System

Scrub away every hard day’s work while enjoying the fresh air with the Talenti Rainbow Outdoor Shower. Beautiful yet functional, this shower is perfect for any garden or terrace. The stainless steel and aluminum construction shrugs off the elements, and it is finished in white for a clean look. The minimalist design mirrors the best of modern architecture, and a wide shower head provides a comfortable stream of water. In addition, the base is grooved for better grip when you have wet feet. The shower’s relatively small footprint means that it will fit in any outdoor space. You can even walk under the arch when the shower is not in use, so the Rainbow almost becomes a kind of sculpture or garden centerpiece.

The chair gives you a unique sensation — the sensation that you will fall off at any second — but you never do. You just spin around as if you were perched on a giant spinning top (which you are).
The chair was created by Thomas Heatherwick— he collaborated with the Italian furniture firm Magis to produce this chair. To construct it, plastic pellets are heated and “rotationally molded”.
