Re-Designing The Pencil

Wow, Sharpie is really on top of its game. Just when you thought the pencil couldn’t get any better — this liquid graphite pencil goes permanent after 3 days of exposure to air. But until then you can erase it, edit it, rewrite it – do whatever you want. Brilliant.

 

Novelty Design: Seat Savers

Another one of those ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ moments. A vendor has taken a novel product, put a story behind it, and now they are selling. These seat savers discourage others from taking your seat, and make you laugh, too.

Check out the new shoe design for Heely, the company widely known for accessorizing the shoe with a wide, rolling wheel on the heel. The newest design, the Nano, features a click-in-place platform with hook-and-loop fastener. Not a scooter, not a Heely, not an inline skate. Check out the video and see for yourself.

Sharp Looking Sharpie

Sharpie product design

The world’s simplest marker just got fancy. Sharpie brand permanent markers have stepped it up, offering this stainless steel barreled, refillable, laser-etched fine tipped marker. At $8 a piece, this pen will never make its way from your pocket to another person’s pocket by mistake. Now you can say “give me back my pen” with a little more confidence, knowing you are the only person around the office with a stainless steel Sharpie.

 

Simple Design: Sealing In The Freshness

After lifting a cap from a bottled drink, you don’t have a way to reseal it, as with a twist cap bottle.  For those of you who enjoy a local brew or specialty soda from a glass bottle, here is a little gadget for you to keep in your pocket at the next party. Beer Savers flex over the opening of a bottle to keep the contents fresh, while also helping to identify your drink. Cool and colorful, I’m sure I’ll see one of these somewhere this summer.

In a market with so many brands and styles of ear buds to choose from, Panasonic stands out from the rest. By nesting the ear buds in the shape of a musical note, consumers can instantly understand what the product is for. Packaging sells, and this is a great example of Panasonic doing it well.

 

Faking It

This unique device is used to simulate the flickering flash and glow of an HD television. Set it on a timer when you leave, and deter potential thieves who may otherwise enter your home. I actually think this is a great idea, especially since it swells and fades like a real TV, but uses 50 times less power to operate.

What a clever way to showcase and enjoy wine. This bottle and 2 cup set is the perfect way to share a glass of wine, as it can be poured from either end and has integrated cups in the base. Unique presentation can be a great advantage!
