You can either be a prude and get shocked at this post (in this case I suggest you move on to the next post) or enjoy the sensual display of the human form as it brings SEX into the industrial design world. Call it lusty, erotic or whatever you want but the truth of the matter is that sex sells in any industry, so why should ID be different! Here is a look at the ten sexiest items that display erotica effectively in ID. 10) Immaculate by Hans A Huseklepp
Tell me honestly, were you looking at the prosthetic limb, or the sexy plunging neckline of this girl! Although Immaculate is a neurological prosthetic connected to the users central nervous system, it takes the woman in the picture to make you realize that an amputee can look as sexy as a runway model. 9) Puma Starck Naked Body Wear by Philippe Starck
Near-naked sexiness personified! I brand the Puma Starck Naked collection as a functional yet sexy essential that reveals nothing but displays a lot of skin aesthetically. I know this does not fall into ID, but I wanted to bring across the point that naked people sell a lot of clothes! What an oxymoron! 8 ) Bodylicious by Hiroshi Tsunoda
Inspired by Nyotaimori, a rather controversial Japanese tradition which consists of presenting Sushi on a naked woman, using her body as a tray, Bodylicious here iterates the kinky side of mankind. Conversely, when presenting Sushi (Sashimi) on the naked body of a man, it’s called Nantaimori. You eat off me and I eat off you. What could be sexier than that!
Fumbling to reach out for a condom during the most sensual moment can be quite an embarrassment for both the parties. A sleeker way would be to whip out the sophisticated Love Case and impress your mate. It stores 1-2 condoms and has a magnetic slider; the provocative scene depicted in this pic further strengthens my belief that sex sells everything, even condom holders! 6) HotDoll, Love Doll For Dogs by Clement Eloy
Man’s best friend has his urges too, and they need to be satisfied pronto. Like we get dolls and toys for ourselves, why not a one for him! 5) NASA Interactive Sex Toy by Pei-Hua Huang
There are two reasons why I put this interactive sex toy to my list. One is the obvious NASA branding and the other is that the toy can be used by both men and women to indulge in some out of this universe experiences. 4) Aloe by Discoh for Imaginarte
The next time you reach out for Aloe juice or an Aloe Vera cream just remember that it inspired these folk to make a dildo. According to its creators, “Aloe gives the user the chance to choose. It´s a dildo. But visually it can also be a plant. It can be a perfect gift or even an elegant way of ending a relationship”. 3) Intimate Massagers by Philips
When the Big Daddy of consumer electronics comes out with a product that is meant to stimulate, arouse, and tease, you stand up (no pun intended) and take notice. The Intimate Massagers purr seductively and encourage greater physical contact between the two of you.
I’m speechless! That’s coz this exhibition is bang on target as to what I wanted to convey. Tour around the MoSex (Museum of Sex) and get familiar. 1) GlowBalls Warming Light by Ashish Chaudhary
We are pretty familiar with Ashish’s work on YD and his Butt-On was quite wicked. However this one takes the cake! Would you have the balls to light one of these in your home? No Tags

台灣設計之光-太平洋自行車 iF Mode 折疊自行車,2009 年取得德國 iF 產品設計奬金牌奬 全球油價高漲,強調節能、環保的大趨勢與強調健康生活的新主張,促使 自行車產業在 2008 年大放異彩。騎自行車從歐洲巴黎、巴塞隆納到澳洲雪梨各大城市掀起一股風潮。歐洲數 10 個城市已採用自行車共乘計畫。美國歐巴馬總統也提出全美擴建自行車道,大力推廣自行車運動。騎乘自行車已用代步工具進而反映出現代人生活態度的演變。 台灣自行車產業在全球擁有舉足輕重地位,最大特色是擁有上、中、下游完整的產業供應鏈。雖然過去曾面臨產業外移,大陸業者競爭,造成台灣自行車外銷數量下降。然國內巨中機械與美利達兩大車廠結合22家零配件廠商組成台灣自行車協進會(A-Team),以新材料、新功能、新用途策,致力提升效能、改進品質與流程,讓台灣自行車產業由製造轉型為高級自行車研發設計中心,並由加工代製走向自創品牌與經營品牌之路。近年來,台灣自行車更在國際自行車大展與國際工業設計大奬屢獲佳績,表現出色。美國自行車領導品牌 Trek Bicycles Corporation 的總裁 John Burke 即曾公開讚許台灣自行產業不論在研發、生產或行銷都展現出高度創意與彈性。 台灣自行車業者之所以能突圍勝出,除了擁有產業聚落優勢外,關鍵因素是持續創新的企圖心與經營思維,維繫了品牌競爭力。為使國內企業瞭解品牌在國際化經營與管理的實際作法,本會特別邀請到義大利自行車業一王三后之首,以產製頂級跑車而創造自行車業傳奇的品牌大廠 Pinarello 總裁 Fausto Pinarello ,與獲得 2008 歐洲自行車展金獎、 2009 德國 iF 設計金奬的台灣太平洋自行車董事長林正義等兩位傑出企業經營者,就創新作為品牌經營的動力為題,分別發表專題演講,並就其如何依國際現勢調整其品牌經營方向進行精采對話。 Pinarello 自行車的義大利文全名為 Cicli Pinarello Spa ,係自 1952 年由義大利自行車賽車手 Giovanni Pinarello 在義國東北部大城 Treviso( 亦為義國知名服飾 Benetton 所在地 ) 創辦。 由於 Giovanni Pinarello 本身十分熱衷自行車賽,在當賽車手的夢碎後,轉換為贊助其他自行車隊。經過近 60 年不斷的努力,Pinarello自行車享譽國際,成為義大利自行車業界的傳奇,穩居義大利自行車業界所謂一王三后中三后之首,主要生產純手工的頂級公路賽車 (Road Racing Bicycle) 。 國際知名的自行車賽選手包括 Alexi Grewal 、 Pedro Delgado 、 Jan Ullrich 、 Miguel Indurian 、 Bjarne Riss 、 Oscar Pereiro 及 Alessandro Petacchi 等,均騎乘 Pinarello 自行車,取下無數面包括環法賽 (Tour de France) 、環義賽 (Giro d’Italia) 、環西班牙自行車賽 (Vuelta a España) 及奧林匹克 (Olympics) 等國際重要自行車賽的金牌。 國際知名的西班牙自行車選手 Miguel Indurian 即騎乘 Pinarello 自行車,贏得 5 面環法賽的金牌、 2 面環義賽的金牌及 1 面奧林匹克金牌等。歷經 50 年來諸多國際知名賽手的見證與加持下, Pinarello 品牌已奠下在國際自行車市場上的雄厚根基與知名度。 太平洋自行車成立近 30 年,著重於產品的研發與設計,擁有繁複且精密的製程,關注每個生產細節,強調精緻與客製化,堅持走小而美的利基市場 (Niche Market) ,自許為國際自行車設計師的工作室,讓來自世界各地的設計師將其夢想轉變為實體產品。除以自有品牌產品 REACH 、 CARRYME 及 HANDY 等行銷外,目前全球 40 多個走高品質、高單價路線的國際知名品牌 ( 含括各種特殊功能自行車 ) ,其自行車的研發與設計亦均出自太平洋之手。 1994 年太平洋自行車生產的折疊車「 BIRDY 」打開國內知名度,在國際市場上, BIRDY 折疊自行車與汽車界的雙 B 同等級,是自行車迷眼中的經典。太平洋自行車的靈魂與創立者林正義董事長為台灣自行車業界尊稱為「教父 (Godfather) 」, 2009 年其「 iF MODE 折疊自行車」更為台灣奪下唯一一面素有設計界奧斯卡之稱的德國 iF 設計金牌大奬,以及台灣精品銀質奬,是台灣自行車業界的驕傲 。 more: http://www.brandingtaiwan.org/index.aspx Related posts

G20晚宴蜜雪兒戴MIT珍珠項鍊 時尚品味「很台灣」!-台灣大東山珠寶-是希望珍珠 國際中心/綜合報導 美國第一夫人蜜雪兒近日為雜誌拍攝照片,照片中她頸上穿戴的珍珠項鍊特別引人注目,不過不說很多人可能不知道,蜜雪兒所配戴的珍珠項鍊,其實是來自台灣的珠寶品牌「大東山珠寶」。 這家珠寶品牌的老闆是呂明鑑,從銷售澎湖的珊瑚起家,1984年到紐約打天下。經過20多年的努力,大東山珠寶現已是全球最大的珍珠供應商,連紐約知名的Macy’s 及Bloomingdales百貨公司也主動在其商品型錄中,介紹呂氏珍珠飾品。 歐巴馬確定獲得總統提名後,由於蜜雪兒戴珍珠項鍊的照片曾登上《紐約時報》頭版,也讓呂明鑑在百貨公司所販售的平價珍珠項鍊禮盒大賣,業績因此成長了好幾成。 呂明鑑表示,「歐巴馬是一個白人的母親、黑人的爸爸,怎麼樣子各個天然的珍珠有不同天然的顏色,也代表全世界各民族一律平等。」 事實上,蜜雪兒喜歡穿台灣設計師吳季剛的衣服已經不是秘密,像是蜜雪兒陪同歐巴馬到倫敦參加G20峰會,走下空軍一號時,當時她身上的黃色洋裝就是來自吳季剛的作品;還有之前在總統就職舞會上,蜜雪兒所穿的白色斜肩式禮服,也是吳季剛所設計。 蜜雪兒現在穿戴的珍珠項鍊又是來自台灣品牌,她的品味無形中也為台灣的時尚產業做了最好的宣傳。(新聞來源:東森新聞) http://www.nownews.com/2009/04/02/11490-2431122.htm Related posts

A cross between the boombox on your shoulder and an MP3 player is the right description for the MU SPACE! Touted as this relaxation portable music system with a mat included, nirvana will be miles away if you use it to catch those forty winks at work! However, investing in the MU SPACE will be cheaper than Sleep Pods but it looks more apt for stressed-out teens than boardroom chiefs.
