BURO NORTH'S SURF SHOWER



Came across this really innovative piece of technology by Buro North. Basically, they had this idea of creating a handheld hot shower for surfers in response to the cold weather and the lack of beach showers when it was developed in winter 2003. More about the surf shower after the jump.

What's so cool about it is that it produces hot water from being charged by a vehicle cigarette lighter and a mobile phone charger in 30 seconds. Isn't that fantastic?



I'm not really a surfer but hell I wanna have one of this thing! Summer is almost here and I'm sure this will come handy after a long day at the beach before hitting some fancy restaurant for some snacks and all that stuff.

TIWE BY LV ZHONGFANG



Less is more. Found this really modern watch by a Chinese designer named Lv Zhongfang. Seems like it doesn't have a lot of feature but I love its stylish minimal black look. More about this nice piece after the jump.

Apparently, it's an OLED watch and what's so amazing about it is that the white dots that we see moves randomly (like in the second picture) but if someone wants to know the time, a lil shake or slight hit on the glass surface will reconstitute the dots back into place. Really cool, huh!

It's not yet out in the market but I wonder how this thing's gonna cost?

FYI: Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLED), as compared to LED, uses plastic or organic materials which makes it more lighter, thinner and far more flexible. It has a brighter display yet consumes less power and have much larger fields of view (170 degrees) which enable comfortable viewing from almost any angle.
