Molecular gastronomy studies the physical and chemical processes that occur while cooking. It basically tries to investigate and explain the chemical reasons behind the transformation of ingredients. We saw reference to this stream a while ago and now inspired by the so-called ‘molecular gastronomists’ who take pride in completely deconstructing food only to re assemble them bizarre modern ways, Philips Design presents the Food Creation Concept.
Food Creation consists of a food printer that would accept various edible ingredients and then combine and ‘print’ them in the desired shape and consistency, in much the same way as stereo lithographic printers create 3-D representations of product concepts.
For example carrot could be served as foam or parmesan cheese as a strand of spaghetti! So if the kids don’t want to eat broccoli or brussels sprouts, how about shaping them as candy or ice-cream?
Interestingly, the printer allows you to adjust the nutritional value and relevance of what was being ‘printed’ based on input from the diagnostic kitchen’s nutrition monitor. This ways you’ll always have the perfectly balanced meal.

Forgive me for the overdose on Printer Designs, or rather re-design, but apparently current cartridges and toner ink is a major source of worry for our designing community. The evil existing ones are BAD for the environment; hence after Pencil I and Pencil II, it’s time to consider draining out the last drops out of a Ballpoint Pen and use it for printer ink. So let’s dissect the REENK…only request, keep the discussion to why you think this will work or why not.

The refined Pencil Printer part II comes with detailed explanations and a better understand of saving the environment from paper trash and permanency of Ink! In here we see how the lead shavings feed the cartridge toner and prints effortlessly on paper. Mistakes are easily erased, and once the crappy memo is done with…you can erase all the gibberish and re-use the paper. A true test of erasing skills!

Taking our obsession for home videos and technology, designer Kim Hyun Joong has come up with an idea that explores the possibilities of instant gratification that Polaroid picutes gave us. The Movie Polaroid Camera prints movies on a flexible display that hopes to use Touch grapheme* technology to its advantage. The concept is a combination of analogue Polaroid film and digital touch technology and contains a built-in movie printer, which immediately “prints” the footage after the user has filmed it.
The device captures movie and sound which are “printed” on a substrate that mimics traditional Polaroid film paper. The camera gets powered by giving it a few good shakes and also juices up the Polaroid Film for viewing. The compact size of the film screen makes it easy to carry around in your wallet or pocket.
Except for having a charming novelty value, I don’t see much application to this device…but it will be good to see technology being to good use.
*Graphene is a flat sheet of carbon rings just one atom thick, which is being studied for a range of electronic applications.

So you don’t want to join pencil stubs and make a long pencil. No worries, we have another alternative, how about using them to print on paper. Yes, like a printer that uses pencil to print your documents. Traditional don’t you think? I feel the concept gets even more radical because it proposes the use of eraser to erase off mistakes! Do I hear my office scream in delight; no more cartridge woes!

Welcome to the future of mobility. See here a concept about the way we’re about to be getting around. Cars controlled by robot brains, cargo containers for 20, 24, 40 passengers at a time. Entertainment screens on the backs of seats. Swivel chairs. And bright, shiny colors!
Designed to be a system that works sort of like our electronics to today with replaceable cartridges – except unlike the terrible situation we’re in today with printers and ink, these cargo containers and their autonomous power trains will work together to make the world a BETTER place.
Why a flexible layout in there? Because during the day it can be a kid bus (40 passenger) then at night and on the weekends it can switch to a lower amount of seats for all the billions of people standing!
THE BEST PARTS – The seats have screens on their backs. What for? Teevee. But they don’t activate unless you’ve got your seatbelt on. Then when you get in a crash and roll down a hill, the middle rotates independently of the rest of the train. Then when the rolling stops, foldable seats make it easy to exit quick.

Consider for a moment if you will, the shape of the world today. Think about what we humans have done to the world, think of all the concrete! If you’ve seen the specials on tv or read the book I’m thinking of, you know that once we leave earth, mother nature WILL take it back. But what about us? We’ve got to go on! And so! Yoo Jaechang has an idea for us. An idea in the form of a globe!
This right here is mostly an experiment in form. It’s a lovely globe, constructed in 3D using a rapid-prototyping printer (you MUST look this up if you don’t know about the possibilities.) In the center is the main hub, along the rings in the inside are the buildings where everyone resides.
Maybe a business globe?
Maybe a residence globe?
I’d put it in Star Wars episode 7. Reducing and re-administering the Death Star plans for the greater good of the galaxy.
