Here’s a concept that is healthy, environment-friendly and, to crown it all, is a stylish-looking home gadget . A water purifier invented by South Korean designer Choi Jinyoung makes the inside air fresher and more wholesome by adding natural humidity converted from leftover water. The elegant device is called the Crystal Clear and uses oxygen-producing processes involving trees and water, thus bringing nature closer to us. The water that wasn’t used up or was partially used is poured into the basin from which it is sucked into the valve and gets converted, coming out of the faucet as humid steam. The leaf-shaped faucet has a controlling knob to regulate to the desired temperature.

Flap phones seem to excite designers’ imagination with multiple possibilities, just look at the latest one from Nick Trincia .

If you fold it in half you get full access to talking, messaging, media and gaming controls. There’s a built-in fingerprint reader that secures your ownership and a high-resolution camera that allows you to shoot movies or have a video conversation. Bluetooth abilities haven’t been forgotten either. Nicely pink and black, looking stylish and fresh, the Plica phone charges via induction.

Of the gadgets worth noticing at CES2011 there was a pair of sunglasses created by Lady Gaga in collaboration with Polaroid.

Afterwards the pictures can be uploaded or demonstrated to your friends on the sunglasses’s built-in LCD screens. This device that would have been loved by James Bond is expected to be unveiled some time during 2011, the price to be given out later.

Russia-based luxury gadget manufacturers Gresso Ltd. are undoubtedly fond of black in general and of African Blackwood in particular, and those preferences are in evidence in their new product. Gresso’s latest iPad boasts 18k gold details and a case made from 200-year-old Blackwood. African Blackwood , regarded as the world’s most valuable tree, is popular for its resplendent ebony look whose elegance is only matched by its durability. The tree is naturally tough, the quality that has been enhanced by a special processing technology owned by the designer. The new iPad Gresso is said to be coming out soon, although its price hasn’t been given yet. Gresso declared that all their iPads will have some distinguishing features, no two gadgets having the same appearance.

Considering that we don’t have squares for hands and square-angled fingertips, it is surprising that there are not too many curvy communication gadgets . We may even say there are too few, so this curvy cell phone by designer Fisher Thierry does rather stand out.The phone features a large screen below which it goes into a curve carrying the buttons. It ends unexpectedly cutting off the “*”, the “#” and the “0” buttons, so every time you are tempted to turn the device over to see if they are located on the back side. It may also make an unwelcome bulge in a tight-fitting pocket or misbalance a loose-fitting one, so these nice curves may take some getting accustomed to. Still, a stylish gadget is always worth it, right?

Manfred Kielnhofer is one designer that took security onto a new level. Time is what we have to guard most in the new year, he believes, so his present to the world is life-size figures that he called Time Guards . It’s a bit off the mark whether he drew inspiration from the time of the inquisition or from Tolkien’s Ringwraiths, but the figures look like something created for a creepy movie. With energy-saving 32W lights inside, they light up in different colors exuding a very special atmosphere like nothing else would – when you’re in the right mood.

One of those little things that we need oh so badly every now and then is tangle free cords for our gadgets and devices . An inextricable-looking tangle of cords is never too petty an occurrence to get our teeth on the edge or end up with a broken-up or torn-out cord. DGA’s latest headphone design is called upon to deal with that. Your new tangle free zipper earphones hold a promise of an exasperation-free listening to music or taking a phone call.

While CDs are losing ground to USB storage devices that are far more capacious, erasable, comparatively cheap and handy from all points of view, designers are rejoicing. They could do but little to re-invent CDs and come up with a luxury or quirky model; now with USB devices they can pull as many rabbits out of their hats as they like.USB storage device by designer Hyun Kim is worth considering – a compact shiny affair that swivels round to open, it’s a cute little thing that will store up whatever you need and look elegant to boot.

BlackBerrys are surely fetching in design and in shape, well-equipped with sophisticated features and popular enough, which can be ascertained at just a single glance. Are the manufacturers satisfied with that? Not on your life. They are working to push the smartphone further into the future, proof to which is the latest concept by designer Daniel Yoon . His idea of a future BlackBerry is called the Empathy. The cool BlackBerry features (a translucent keyboard, movable keys, a flexible OLED display and a heads up facility) are augmented by a mood ring . Its sensors handle receiving and sending out the information about your – and other people’s – moods and emotional states via direct access to network social sites. Moreover, the Empathy mirrors the owner’s mood changing the color of the keypad. Good enough to grab it when it has been launched, isn’t it?

A new wall clock concept has just come from Seattle-based product development consultancy CarbonDesign Group. The Domino Clock is as simple as it is ingenious, using three king-size domino game pieces. The dots on the pieces change to tell the hour and the minutes. To add some visual interest they also alternate between black and white. The time-telling dominoes is just one of ideas selected for a Carbon Passion Project launched by CarbonDesign Group intended, as Google’s 20% Time does, to encourage creative imagination.

If you are looking for some of the best gifts for this year’s holiday gifts then Kenneth Cole Touch Screen Watch is worth considering. Kenneth Cole’s line of Touch Screen Watches is surely a fun and attractive to look at. Well they are not as good as Patel Philippe or an IWC but they are far better than C asio G-Shock .

Maybe it’s good old movies that keep reminding us of typewriters , or nostalgia has become an indestructible part of our lives… Isn’t it queer that long-forgotten typewriters should resurface after all those years? Although this time no-one will ask you to type out a document – probably hurting your fingertips in the process.This new gadget isn’t actually a typewriter, it’s a waffle iron created by designer Chris Dimino. And though it is called Corona-Matic , which for older folks sounds as a clear-cut reference to typewriters, the younger generation will surely be associating the waffles it makes with a keyboard, and not with typing out a document, but with playing a computer game.
