Life-Altering Device Concept of the Day: Lee Sanghoon’s award-winning corner-collision-preventing traffic light “takes the apprehension out of approaching a corner, by allowing one to perceive that another person is nearby.”
“Corner’s Communication,” which “lights up and emits a little sound” when sensing a potentially-unwelcome stranger-on-stranger interaction, is perfect for offices, hospitals, schools, restaurants, and any other public space prone to the excuse-me shuffle.

Just bought my new headphones from this guy. They’re handmade in Brooklyn and wrapped in the worst product packaging I’ve ever seen. That’s the charm, though. These guys make headphones - they don’t sell a lifestyle. These aren’t head-accessories. These aren’t sponsored by Dr. Dre, Lady Gaga, or sold in Best Buys and Apple stores. They are simply headphones and you can only find them at audio shoppes.
I would totally buy some Grados if they made a closed-air model. My coworkers wouldn’t like hearing my incessant wobbly basslines.
Good Design is as little design as possible
Less, but better – because it concentrates on the essential aspects, and the products are not burdened with non-essentials.
Back to purity, back to simplicity.

Oh wow, I haven’t seen this one yet…
