I love the design of “Parachute” bags. It’s essentially a soft tool box that you can carry closed or blossom open for easy access to small tools and parts. I haven’t quite figured out a non-tool bag application for it’s design yet…but the wheels are turning…

Rocketpacks drink dispensers. Walking, talking, wearable billboards. I guess this is the modern day Cigarette girl.
Stairs make for an interesting obstacle in the course of life. The most common of thing I see carried up and down stairs are strollers. Beyond being a reminder of the generosity of new yorkers (I’m serious!) it makes me wonder…
Why haven’t we come up with a product-based solution for wheels on stairs?
My boyfriend is an architect and we often talk about how building codes can rearrange the entire design of a space. One question we always come back to is…Wouldn’t it make more sense to re-invent a wheelchair that goes up stairs rather then re-build all buildings? Especially in NYC where building are tight and spaces are small, it is impossible to add ramps everywhere needed. But instead of looking at this as a space issue, why don’t we look at it as a Product design issue?
I say it’s time to re-invent the wheel.
I once had the “pleasure” of designing dog carriers. The biggest thing I took away from it, was how much excess money people are willing to spend on their pets. So that’s why I appreciate this guy who carries his dog in a basic gym bag. Sometimes the simplest answer is right in front of you. (Taken with instagram)
While this umbrella may be the most efficient in a rainstorm, it is definitely the least efficient to carry.
I love it when it rains. But mainly so I can see the creative ways people deal with their umbrellas. In a way, we all become our own designer, finding the most intuitive way to incorporate it into our daily routine.
