My theme for today is CONCEPT.
Travelling can sometimes be tedious. Thank heavens for the many designers around who pour their time and energy into making travellers’ lives easier. Designing is a miss-and-hit affair but somewhere out there, I’m sure one or two of these concepts will find a future consumer.
1. THE LUNCHBOX.
A lunchbox that flattens out to become a table? How transformer-y! I just love the idea of the SUNCH.
I’m a bit skeptical, though, if all these can fit into such a tiny box. But you gotta love the bento feel.
Designer: Soo Kang Lee
2. THE JACKET/TENT/BAG
A many-in-one garment, the VESSEL satisfies both clothing and privacy needs. Ideal for backpackers or those who like to travel light.
Designer: Justin Gargasz
3. THE FLAVORED BUTTER SPOON
This one I’d definitely buy. It not only eliminates the need for a separate knife but satisfies the craving for fat, too. Just perfect!
Designer: Yeongkeun Jeong
And saving the best for last, here’s…
4. THE LUGGAGE
Definitely not for everyone (or anyone?), the Dragging Dress may either make travelling easier or such a… err… drag.
Have your read the writeup above? Are you convinced? If not, see the demo here.
Designer: Miya Lee
Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I’ve really enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case I will be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon!
Thank you, Traina. I really appreciate the comment. Happy travels!
I like the jacket tent/bag. I’m looking for a small/light tent right now. I wonder if it’s available at R.O.X.
Hi! The jacket/tent is still in concept stage, I think and won’t be available for a while. Pero cool idea no?
patented na ba hahaha, pwede ko ipatahi kay manang ganyan 🙂
baka hindi pa. go! haha. 😀
I love the lunchbox and the jacket/tent as well. But the luggage is hideous as a skirt =p
Hi grace. The luggage skirt is really ugly haha. Saw your blog. Will put you on my blogroll.:) Happy travels!
Thanks Pauline, I’ll add yours to mine too. I’m actually heading back to Manila for a visit in May and wanted to get the latest scoop from you in terms of going to new interesting places in Manila or outside of the city. Thanks!
Hi Grace, You just gave me a topic for my next post!:) Nice to hear that you’re coming over. May is the perfect time! Don’t you just miss our beaches? Will give you a couple of suggestions, just watch out for my post 🙂
