The future of Washing Machines - Hanger Washer



The Hanger washer is an innovative washing machine that could pave the way to a new and more efficient future for single households owners around the world.

Designed by talented Wonkyung Jang. This is the wall mounted washing machine for a one person household which has enough space efficiency for your laundry and hanging. There is a hanger on the bottom part for you to hang your laundry without having to carry your laundry from the washer to a drying rack or clothes line. The washer redirects the heat from the motor over the hanger, for a quicker drying time.



The Samsung Hanger WM's powerful air blower has multiple benefits, by using the hot air hanger you will not have to iron your clothes afterwards as using the hanger decreases your clothes. You also have the option to add fragrance to the hot air (lemon, jasmine,lavender), so that your clothes don't just look fresh, but they smell fresh too.




Not only does the washer do a great job at cleaning your clothes but it utalizes the heat that would usually be wasted and directs it in practical way.

"We can save energy by means of circulating the remaining energy in a natural way"

For the modern world that is constantly looking for ways to recycle materials as well as energy, this is definitely one of the products thats taking a step in the right direction.

Stackable Speakers - The more you stack, the louder it gets

This innovative speaker requires physical interaction to control the volume, the 'Stack' speaker needs tactical contact, eliminating the needs for buttons and switches. The designer of the stackable speakers Rowan Jackman was motivated to create an unconventional speaker that doesn't need traditional buttons and switches. 


The speakers have integrated force sensor resistors, as the user starts to stack the weighted forms the speaker turns on, and as you stack each additional piece the volume also increases. The weights have been casted in identical mass to insure a consistent volume increase. The cohesive form of the pieces are visual representations of audible sound getting louder when they are stacked, and the opposite when pieces are removed.    


The speakers have been delicately created with a laser cut piece of white ash wood that allows for great quality sound. 

"Stack encourages a real interaction and a hugely visual and tactile system of control. Playfulness and an emotion of surprise is achieved which sets Stack apart from the other options."

The Innovative Camping Cup



This Upright Cupright camping cup was created by Wang Jiaxin and has been designed in such a way that it can stand on any outdoor terrain when full. When the cup is placed on any soft or uneven surface, the ball bearings inside will roll across the base of the cup to provide a relatively flat and stable surface.

 

Camping is an outdoor activity of recreation but the ground is usually uneven at the camping sites, thats why there is a great need for a camping cup that can stand on pretty much any outdoor terrain. Wang Jiaxin has designed such a cup that has been created to self adjust to its environment, enabling the cup to stay vertical without having to adjust it constantly.



The solution for this camping inconvenience is provided by the distribution of the mini ball bearings at the base of the cup. When the cup is placed on an uneven or soft surface, the ball bearings will naturally redistribute across the base of the cup to provide a relatively flat and stable surface. This simple but ingenious product is a must have gadget for your camping trips, making things that much easier in life.



This Upright Cupright is a really creative and unique conceptual product, it even got an honourable mention from Red Dot

Braille Cube - The Rubix Cube for the blind



The concept of this Rubix cube is an attempt to adjust the timeless puzzle toy to the needs of a blind person. It allows them to physically feel the colours. The most interesting aspect of this concept is to recognise that it's just as difficult to solve for somebody that can see as it is as difficult for a blind person to solve a regular Rubix cube. 


The original Rubix Cube was invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Erno Rubix. The Cube was released as a puzzle toy in 1980. As of 2009, over 350 million cubes have been sold worldwide, making it the top selling puzzle game and is considered the world's best selling toy.  


This puzzle cube was created by freelance designer Konstantin Datz of Berlin, Germany. Due to the success of the original Rubix Cube and how much pleasure can be had whilst solving the toy, It just seems fair to have an equivalent puzzle for blind people. Konstantin has managed to create a functioning rubix cube of simplicity and joy. To see more work by Konstantin, visit his website via this link.     


This Cube would make a really thoughtful gift, If you would love to get your hands on one of these puzzle cubes click on this link to order your very own.

Most people unknowingly apply only 25% to 50% of the suncream they should. That's where the Sunscreenr comes in to lend a helping hand.



Sunscreenr is a special viewer that changes the way you protect yourself from sun damage. They have taken high quality technology used by scientists and made it easy to see where your skin is covered by suncream and where it's not. The more suncream that's present (SPF 15 of higher), the darker your skin will look. It will specifically show you where you've missed a spot when applying suncream and where suncream has worn off your skin after sweating, swimming, or towelling off. 



If you love the Sunscreenr as much us then why not head on over to their website today to pick up one of your very own. It's a must have product for this summer.

Pry.Me - Grade 5 Titanium Micro Bottle Opener

This is one of the smallest bottle openers ever created. It's the size of a penny yet is strong enough to pull a car. 



It's hard to deny that the standard key chain bottle opener isn't a convenient device to have around, this convenience however does come at the expense of being rather large and clunky. What if there was a device that had all the perks of the traditional bottle opener but without the unwanted mass. This was the fundamental idea behind the Pry.Me Titanium bottle opener. It has left behind the traditional size and shape of the existing models and has brought an aesthetically pleasing design to the table. The perfect companion to your keys.  


Despite it's minuscule size, weighing in at 0.5 grams the Pry.Me actually packs one hell of a punch as it is made from high quality grade 5 titanium and has been designed to be incredibly strong. So strong in fact that it has the strength to pull a car with ease. Amazingly the Pry.Me is the diameter of one penny, the thickness of two, 145% lighter and way cooler than a penny. 



The Pry.Me comes in various colours to, from the original sandstone finished titanium colour, to specially anodized tones based on a client survey once the funding process has ended. To get your hands on your very own Pry.Me, head on over to their Kickstarter page and pick one of there funding packages.

The Jean Hanger: The new way to care for your jeans

Jeans have been around for over 100 years and yet there is no good way to hang or dry them. Yes, isn't that crazy? Folding your jeans causes wrinkles and creases. Drying your jeans in a clothes dryer not only shrinks your jeans but damages the denim over time. Using drying racks to dry your jeans is way too time consuming. Standard clip pant hangers take too much time to use, don't work properly, break easily and they can damage your jeans.


Introducing the simple wooden hanger that will simply solve your previous issues and complications with hanging your jeans. Steven Sal Debus is a Canadian designer that may have created the perfect jeans accessory for your wardrobe. 


The Jean Hanger is easy to use, there are no fiddly and weak clips like the ones on many cheap hangers produced today as it is made from one solid piece of fine wood. Your jeans are hung vertically thus evading creases and wrinkles that are commonly caused from folding. The sturdy wood jeans hanger will fit all jeans or pants with standard belt loops; from 22 inch waist to 44 inches.


The hanger prototypes were designed and built over the course of a year at the Makerlab in Vancouver, BC. Getting the design right was one of the main priorities of Steven Sal Debus as he wouldn't settle for anything less than perfect. Due to the solid construction and lack of moving parts, this hanger really is a cut above the rest, with maximum durability that will be sure to last a lifetime.

Rhei - The Liquid Clock


Rhei is a prototype of an electro-mechanical clock with a liquid display, and the result of a year long passion project, created by Damjan Stankovic, executed in collaboration with Marko Pavlovic.


Here at Mindsparkz we are all about creativity, passion and innovation. It's clear to see that that Damjan, Marko and the other contributors also share the same ideologies as us, There dedication and commitment to this project is incredibly admirable. They have managed to make a complex and technical clock look simple and elegant.  


What is a liquid clock though and how does it work? 
Rhei is a liquid based clock. It keeps the time perfectly and visibly ticks away the minutes and hours, but instead of using printed digits or LED lights to display the time, the Rhei prototype magnetically manipulates ferrofluid into numerical digits. Ferrofluid is a magnetic liquid that was first discovered by NASA in the 1960's.


"Never before has a liquid substance been unveiled in its pure, unrefined form and controlled in a manner which allows it to display tangible shapes. Time as a concept is highly subjective, but there are two things we can claim about it with certainty: time is unrelenting transience and continuous movement. It is precisely this endless rhythmic flow that Rhei captures, and just as every moment differs from the other, the movement of its digits is differently animated each time, never permitting it to exhibit the same shape twice. Rhei is a dynamic installation, an animated sculpture, an idea expressed in the form of a minimalistic, digital clock.
Time flows. Literally."

Mindsparkz are excited to see how the Rhei prototype progresses in the future. We always have creativity and functionality in our minds as we create, so if you want to construct unique and innovative products, why not send us an email at info@mindsparkz.com

FieldCandy's Ultimate Sunshader

Summer is one of the most enjoyable seasons in the year and its just around the corner. The ice cold drinks, outings with friends and family at the park or beach. It's great, but all that hot fun in the sun can be exhausting and even damaging if exposed to sun rays for too long. Having a relaxing cool down under shade is essential, that's where the FieldCandy's Sunshade comes in handy.

FieldCandy have recently launched a range of brand new designer tents called Sunshades. They are very light weight and drenched in colourful patterns, these simplistic goods will be perfect for a day at the beach or a lazy afternoon at the park.

To launch the new range, designers Daniel Ting Chong and Si Maclennan from Cape Town, South Africa designed an exclusive range of patterns, to be printed on the flysheets. The patterns had to be bright, energetic and reflect the cheerful aesthetic of the FieldCandy brand.


SunShades offer the perfect way to relax on the beach, park or garden on sunny days whilst protecting you from the sun. They can be repositioned in three different ways to follow the sun as it rises and sets, so there’s no need to keep moving around! 

Rest easy in the sun as these sunshades offer UPF50+ protection blocking out 99.7% of UV radiation. The unique designs will help you stand out from the beach crowd with colour and creativity. Don’t worry about the brilliant design fading as the fabric is UV fade resistant.


Mindsparkz are ready for summer and are loving the creative and practical Sunshades. We always have creativity and functionality in our minds as we create, so if you want to construct unique and innovative products similar to this one, why not send us an email at info@mindsparkz.com

Innovative Kinetic Power Bank

You could be out and about or on your travels when you realise before that important phone call that you're low on power with no means of charging it any time soon, it happens to all of us at some point and can cause quite a few problems. 


Those powerless troubles could be left in the past with the simple but effective Voltmaker charger. The Voltmaker is a compact kinetic power bank with 2000 mAh capacity. With a few flicks of the wrist, you can generate your own energy to recharge your portable devices. 
The thrust of the hand is enough to activate the internal generator. This fun, effortless and single-handed movement, inspired by the ratchet device can recharge all your portable devices: your smartphone, your MP3 player, your camera, your camcorder, your GPS device, etc. 

The Voltmaker’s body holds a spring-loaded mechanism at the top of the tube which generates energy as it spins. It is possible to fully charge the Voltmaker through kinetic energy alone, however it would require around 2 to 3 hours of manic jazz hand action. The developers recommend using the device as a backup rechargeable power source.


Here at Mindsparkz we love the eco friendly design of the VoltmakerMindsparkz always has innovation and practicality in mind as we create, so if you want to construct inventive and unique products similar to this one, why not send us an email at info@mindsparkz.com.











The Cultivation of Ideas

Design isn't always about creating new products, but it is all about sprouting fresh ideas and this can lead to some simple yet innovative perfections of an item that you didn't think it needed.

Lets take a sieve as an example: created for the use of removing the lumps in flour and other powders so that mixtures are smooth without air pockets, and one of little problems with them is the flour that gets stuck in the holes as you sieve leading to the classic bashing of the sieve with your free hand.


Developed by Equals Design for the Joseph Joseph Kitchenware brand, this small addition to the sieve doesn't re-invent the product, but perfects it by one more step by removing the hassle as well as allowing multitasking that couldn't be done before, such as whisking or folding as you sieve.


The greatest achievement is the eye of the observer, to develop an understanding and advance upon that which has already been built. Evolution of fundamentals is just as important as the creation of new one.

"By spending time with Joseph Joseph, retailers and consumers, we built a clearer picture of the brand, its positioning and existing product range. We reviewed Joseph Joseph and competitor products to learn how they were performing – helping us to understand people’s attitudes and usage of a range of everyday kitchen utensils." - Equals Design


We're loving the design of the new and improved self-tapping sieve, kudos to Equals Design. Mindsparkz has innovation in mind as we create, so if you want to construct new and unique products  like this one, why not send us an email at info@mindsparkz.com.

A Guy Who Grow Furniture


One entrepreneur decided not to grow vegetables or fruits like most farmers, but instead to grow furniture.

A young man who worked as a gardener for a long time decided to invent a new way of earning money by deciding to grow and make his own handmade furniture.


In his parents garden, one specific tree reminded him of a chair. Remembering this memory he decided that perhaps it was a more creative to grow a tree that resembles home furniture. After a patient period spanning over four to eight years, he finally succeeded in training the trees to resemble chairs.


In order to impart the desired shaped trees, the trees are grow along specially built plastic chair frames to achieve the specific shape and bend. The outcome, a trees roots shaped like a chair that do not require any other material to strengthen.



The farmer currently grows about 400 tables and chairs, making this furniture using trees of numberous varities including: willow, maple, walnut, sycamore and ash.



Despite the fact products are simple, they are currently working on more complex designs including bookshelves and chest of drawers.


This production method is so ecological and practical that it has now been planned to start growing more furniture items on an industrial scale.
