YD Handpicks: 15 Winning Designs from A' Blueprint Awards 2017-18

01. Meditation Seat by Gao Fenglin

Gao Fenglin's Meditation Seat tin merely exist sabbatum on in a certain mode, directing the user's behavior and encouraging a seating position that keeps your back upright, and your legs folded inward. Designed to promote physical and mental fettle, the Meditation Seat actually makes sitting healthier!

02. Minimbike by ozestudi

Minimbike'southward sculpted organic balanced pattern stems from the need to be aesthetic and not overtly functional. Non weighed downwards by concerns similar shock absorption or aerodynamics, the stationary bike'due south form is but purely desirable, inviting you lot to come and apply information technology!

03. Dab ECG Holter Patch by Adam Miklosi

Minor but constructive, the Dab ECG holter patch sits on your chest, constantly monitoring and recording your middle action, while truly being as invisible and distraction-free as any skilful medical wearable must exist. Sitting on the skin via a gel patch, the Dab is reusable, unlike most disposable ECGs and charges separately in its ain wireless charging dock. A perfect embodiment of Rams's design communication that skillful pattern should be equally little design every bit possible.

04. Croz D.I.Y Digital Camera by Calvin Sio

The Croz camera helps bring a do-it-yourself quality to consumer electronics, something we see little of nowadays. It comes with a bare-bones aesthetic that's the consequence of stripping abroad everything unnecessary (even a fully molded outer casing) in exchange for the lens module, a circuit board, bombardment, viewfinder, and a cleverly designed laser-cutting slice of acrylic bent into shape to course a transparent cover that lets you peer right into your photographic camera's innards, bringing a sense of marvel and involvement in the photography procedure.

05. Joseph Felt Chair Seating past Lothar Windels

Quirky, clever, and wrinkly plenty to project a semblance of comfortability, the Joseph Felt Chair is entirely made from sheets of felt layered together and folded before being fastened together with stainless steel fasteners. The chair looks playful, has an intriguing appeal where you lot tin can literally see the folds forming the chair, and definitely looks inviting to both adults and children!

06. Solar Egg Public Sauna by Futurniture and Bigert & Bergström

A symbol of youth, nourishment, and vitalization, the egg was perhaps the nigh perfect form for the Solar Egg Public Sauna. With stainless golden mirror sheeting on the outside, and a faceted form, the sauna mirrors the serene mural around it, but looks every bit golden as the lord's day does (a fitting metaphor, considering it's so hot on the inside). The within has a wooden structure with a heart-shaped sauna stove at the center, radiating heat, and making for a fitting design detail for something that looks similar an egg on the outside!

07. PIXIO Magnetic Сonstruction Set by Ivan Khalus and Oleh Berezovskyi

Designed to be used like pixel-based play dough, the Pixio are magnetic pixels that snap together, creating complex shapes and figures like Lego, only without the hassle of plugging and unplugging pieces, or the pain of inevitably stepping on a loose lego piece sometime later on in the day. With an appeal that tin can only be described as Minecraft in existent life, and an absolutely succulent set of available colors, the Pixio is a perfect tool to permit your listen roam complimentary!

08. Cocoon Lounge Chair past Tim Kwok

Office recliner, office rocking chair, part hammock, the Cocoon must be an absolute stress-busting care for to lie on! Comfy, thanks to its netted base of operations, the Cocoon slowly rocks to and fro, giving you the relaxed posture of a recliner/hammock, with the meditative rocking of a rocking chair. A guaranteed 11/10 would want to sit down on this.

09. Tab4 Home Assistant by Lenovo Blueprint Grouping

Our dear for the Tab4 stems from its clever design strategy. Using one production (rock) to hit two proverbial birds, the Tab4 is a smart speaker and a tablet, designed to be used together or even independently. Given the rise of smart speakers in homes today, Lenovo'due south smart speaker is a sure-shot hit, since it comes with a free screen/tablet too. And it's a hit for Lenovo, because it means being able to eternalize tablet sales in what I can merely describe as an Android tablet auction slump. Clever, eh!?

10. Kulms Stackable Chair by Daisuke Nagatomo and Minnie Jan

The chair's clever 2 dimensional blueprint remains stable, cheers to the fact that information technology rests on three points, remains easy to produce, because you can easily shape wooden ply into 2D curves, and is fabricated to be stackable, assuasive it to practice something almost plastic chairs consider an reward over their wooden counterparts. Useful, easy to produce, aesthetically unproblematic, yet with loads of character, the Kulms chair could be easily spotted from the opposite end of a room.

11. Jal Lamp by Mos

Designed to look like a martini-esque hourglass with an ambient lightbulb in it, the JAL Lamp'south dazzler arises from its simplicity and its ability to exist whatever you want it to be. The glass comprises two conical containers in the hourglass shape, that tin exist used to store anything, making the lamp a rather versatile slice of decor (rather than 'just another lamp'!). The seedling can be oriented either manner, allowing you to use the lamp in any orientation that y'all'd similar. A nice combination of simplicity, elegance, and a minimal beauty that one would associate with Scandinavian or Japanese pattern.

12. Impress to Build Furniture Joint by Gellert Olle

Putting his desktop 3D printer to good use, Gellert Olle designed the Impress To Build, a joinery set that could be used to spike two pieces of plywood together in a variety of orientations, creating piece of furniture that comprised literally two types of components. Just wood and plastic. The resultant furniture is bones, but clean looking, and apartment-packs then efficiently, it would probably occupy less than 10% of its infinite when assembled.

thirteen. EXEO Gaming Controller past Sushant Vohra

The EXEO's a personal favorite for bringing modularity to games in a way that completes experiences, allowing yous to play multiple types of games and build the motion-sensing controllers y'all need for it, rather than simply play with that boring old Joypad. Designed around three components, a gun, a baton, and a puck, users can create much more circuitous weapons/instruments, from steering wheels to archery equipment, allowing for a gameplay experience that's MUCH more authentic than a standard joypad or remote.

14. Karekla Chair by Phebos Xenakis

Made out of difficult plywood, but designed to be 'comfortable', the Karekla Chair comprises a seat made from plywood with vertical cuts in them. Sit down on the seat and the plywood members bend to your weight to assume the curvature of your torso, feeling less like a hard wooden surface and more flexible and comfortable like wickerwork. A curved metallic rod sits underneath the vertically cut plywood seat to provide a support for information technology, preventing it from angle more than the desired amount. Go off the seat and it returns to its flat position over again!

15. Braille Ebook Reader by Brian studio

With the ability to turn text to braille in real-time, the Braille Ebook Reader is truly the Kindle for the visually dumb. Sporting a big dot-matrix panel with individual dots dynamically raising to class braille patterns, a scanner on the back that actually scans volume pages, and controls that enable the visually impaired to configure and fine-tune their reading feel, the Braille Ebook Reader scans and saves bodies of text from newspapers, books, and magazines, allowing the blind to read from readily available printed material. What's more, it even connects to the net to access and download ebooks for reading too!
