Stackable Wine

Stacked wine is a great new way to package wine. Comprised of four 187ml plastic cups, it contains the same volume of liquid as a standard bottle but can easily be split into four equal parts ideal for picnics, festivals or other outdoor activities.

 

This design frees the consumer from searching for a bottle opener or glasses and they could be sold at venues that don’t permit glass. The plastic is lightweight, recyclable and a whole lot classier than necking it straight from a bottle!

 

Although I love the concept I think the packaging could benefit from a bit of a redesign. I think it lacks a little cohesion between the outer and inner design and it seems to neither look classy or appeal to the young festival types so perhaps a little more consideration of the target audience could be needed. All that said I don’t think it’d take much to turn this into a worldwide hit.

Say Cheese! Introducing the Air Clicker, the Invisible(ish) Camera

This is pretty much the cleverest thing I’ve ever seen! The Air Clicker is currently a concept design from Yeon Su Kim for what is basically, an invisible camera. When the silicon rings are worn and the forefinger is bent a photo is taken and sent using bluetooth to your smartphone – if more than one finger is bent a video is created! I’ve got absolutely no idea how this all works but it’s a pretty incredible thing: 

When the files are on your smartphone you can send / edit / export them as you would with normal photos. All it needs now is a few instagram-esque vintage effect options and it’s sure to be a success!

Bio-Customised Stingray Shoes – Is there something fishy about all of this?

This is a bit of a sidetrack, and perhaps isn’t the most graphic design related post, but It’s one of the most interesting things I’ve come across over the past few months.

Introducing RayFish Footwear, the company that allows you to “design” your own stingray by genetically engineering the DNA which changes the patterns on the stingray. These bio-customised rays are then turned into stingray leather shoes as the video below demonstrates:
