GravaStar's skeletonized gaming mice resemble space-age footwear.Explaining a video that seemingly shows "checkered paint" being applied.UCO's StakeLight: A self-illuminating tent peg.The RIVR LEVA is a Swiss wheeled dog-like robot for carrying cargo.Subaru's external airbag, designed to protect cyclists struck by cars, won't be coming to the 'States.The latest objet d'esign from a luxury automaker: Rolls-Royce's chess set.Peter Donders' Spherene Side Table stretches material optimization to extremes.In Japan, these DMV (Dual-Mode Vehicle) buses can also ride the rails.Unitree's B2 is a firefighting robot dog deployed with Qingdao's fire department.A waterproof fanny pack that allows you to use your smartphone's touchscreen.Industrial designer/design researcher Marco Compardo revives an ancient glassworking technique with a digital twist.Faber-Castell's designey E-Motion line of pens (and pencil).An elaborate mountainside chicken feed monorail, and an ingenious design for chicken nesting structures.Videos of humanoid robots going dangerously berserk. This is why we need kill switches.Flectr's CargoMate is a clever design for a no-tools-required, fast-installing universal bike rack.30-plus wonderful examples of design improvisation, i.e. redneck engineering.In Milan, San Siro stadium's egress feature creates an optical illusion.Video: Dorian Pellumbi Industrial design case study: Pensa develops a lightweight, inflatable travel kennel.
