Reusable packaging forms a protective skin around delicate objects. Design graduate Mireia Gordi i Vila presents a flexible and reusable packaging system for valuable goods at the Royal College of Art (RCA) show in London, which opened today (+ slideshow).
Named Fragile, the packaging consists of a flexible membrane that creates a supportive skin around fragile items such as collectables and works of art, allowing them to be safely transported from one place to another. Described by Gordi i Vila as "a standard for the non-standards", each package is reusable, modular, collapsible and able to fit inside existing logistics systems. Anna Czaniecka's kettle is shaped like mugs to measure water for tea. This kettle by Kingston University graduate Anna Czaniecka is shaped like two mugs so the user can precisely measure how much water to boil for cups of tea.
Anna Czaniecka's Kttl is designed to save energy, and therefore money, that is wasted from boiling too much water in traditional kettles. "I started this project by looking at kitchen appliances and I came across some data about the unusually high energy usage of a standard electric kettle," she told Dezeen, stating that three quarters of British households overfill their kettles – wasting a total of £68 million per year. "Boiling more water than necessary has several implications - it takes longer time to boil which equals wasted electricity and higher energy bills," Czaniecka said. Estel Alcaraz designs wellington boots you can squash into a bag. With heavy rain forecast for this weekend's Glastonbury, festival-goers will be wishing they had a pair of these lightweight wellington boots that can be rolled up and stuffed in a bag (+ movie).
Called Sardines, the boots squash down to a fifth of their original size and have been developed by Barcelona designer Estel Alcaraz. She got the idea after getting caught in the rain without adequate footwear and wishing there was a more portable alternative to traditional rain boots. "One evening in February 2012, I got caught in the rain," Alcaraz explained. "By the time I got home, my clothes were soaking wet, even my socks. " Drop umbrella by Ayca Dundar is made of just six parts.
Royal College of Art graduate Ayca Dundar has redesigned the umbrella, paring it back to a pop-up canopy with six parts so it can recover from being blown inside out (+ movie).
Driven by the number of broken umbrellas she saw littering London's streets on a rainy day, Dundar set about finding a better solution. She dissected a number of the broken umbrellas and decided that the problem lay in their overly intricate mechanisms. "Their complex structure makes them fragile and non-repairable," she said. "They are so rigid that they turn inside out and break during strong winds. " The Drop umbrella has a supple structure, so it flexes during strong wind and comes back to its original position afterwards. Its organic form consists of only six repairable parts that depend on material properties rather than hinges and joints. The cover is made from waterproof fabric stretched over two plastic-coated spring steel strips. Pop-up Linen wardrobe by Renate Nederpel folds flat. This wardrobe by Dutch designer Renate Nederpel is made from fabric panels that fold flat when its wooden poles are removed.
The soft foldable Pop-up Linen cabinet sits atop high pinewood legs, that cross through the fabric structure to hold it in place. Renate Nederpel integrated creases into the top, bottom and side panels – along with extra flaps of material at the corners – so that the front and back can be pushed together and the whole piece lays flat. Four large poles form the main structure and the legs of the cabinet, slotting through holes in the fabric. Smaller sticks span between these legs to hold up the base of the padded linen box. Another thinner wooden element slots between the two sides where the large poles cross to form a clothes rail. The front features two doors with wooden knobs that swing open to reveal the storage space and internal structure. Nederpel created the wardrobe "to be produced and transported efficiently".

This project, named Tobacco, contains four different types of cigarettes. They are designed around the different habits smokers have, allowing them to wean off tobacco gradually. Tobacco-Luck is a set of several cigarettes, with a gradually increasing filter tip for each stick and decreasing tobacco section. The idea is for smokers to smoke less tobacco gradually. Tobacco-Sharing is a cigarette that can be halved and shared with another smoker. Tobacco-Trace involves assigning a number to purchased cigarettes, allowing people to be tracked down by the cigarette butts they flick to the ground.
Tobacco-Day is a pack of cigarettes that have the days of the month printed on their tips, helping smokers to track the number of cigarettes they have consumed. A Brilliantly Simple Design Transforms Old Boxes Into School Desks And Bags.

Portable Robot Printer Is Like A Roomba That Squirts Ink. Designed by Zuta Labs and now on Kickstarter, the Mini Mobile Robotic Printer is one for the mobile age. It cleverly sheds the bulk of consumer printing by re-imagining what a printer actually is. Printers, of course, are annoyingly big pieces of hardware that remain tethered to our desktops, a particular insult while other gadgets become ever more mobile. The prime factors of printer bloat are the giant reservoirs of ink and toner needed to power them. Add to that the requirement that a printer be at least as big as a ream of paper. The Simple Piece Of Plastic That Teaches Kids To Tie Their Shoes. As a first grade teacher, Eileen Sloan got tired of tying shoes. Though it wasn't something she taught in her class, she expended plenty of energy helping students tie their laces throughout the day, a skill she says they weren't particularly keen on learning to do for themselves. To help kids learn to tie their shoes on their own, and make it fun in the process, Sloan invented the EZLeaps shoe-tying tool, a simple plastic card with holes that helps keep laces secure while kids tie their shoes.

On attend le reste de la vaiselle ! How Ideo Helped Reinvent The Pillbox. A Coffee Maker That Looks Like It Comes From A Chemistry Lab. Perhaps it's the late nights at the lab, or just the fact that the ubiquitous glassware is so well suited for double duty brewing up a cup of joe, but chemistry and coffee have always seemed to go hand in hand. The Café Balāo is a coffee machine that even Mendeleev (or Gale Boetticher) could have loved: a siphon-like coffeemaker that borrows its design cues not from Nespresso, but from the equipment of a science-age chemistry lab. Designed by Portuguese design student Davide Mateus, the Café Balāo looks very much at first glance like a modified version of the Kipp Apparatus.
There are two tiers of the Balāo, one for water and the other coffee, each of which is made with reinforced glass. Place ground coffee in the top bulb, and fill the bottom tier with water. A submerged electric coil heats up and boils the water when the Balāo is plugged in. This Transformable Bike Basket Might Get More People Out Of Cars.
