Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka has trapped a crystal in a perfume bottle for crystal brand Swarovski.

Called The Scent of Crystal, the project was proposed by Yoshioka while working with the brand but will not be put into production.

“The scent of crystal” – Swarovski

For this symbolic work, Tokujin set up the concept of “Wearing the scent of crystal.”

While Tokujin has been conducting several collaboration projects with Swarovski, he was commissioned to come up with a concept design for a product that symbolizes Swarovski.

Rather than by rearranging visual shapes, he pondered of designing a perfume bottle with a thoroughly new concept, which is to affect the senses.

The intent of the design is to bottle crystal within perfume, and to let the crystal fit in the scent.

Even this project had not been realized, Tokujin developed a new perspective.

American Thomas Meyerhoffer has won Australia’s 2010 International Design Award for his groundbreaking surfboard design.

Evolution? Revolution? Future surfing solution? The Meyerhoffer is possibly the most radical design innovation in longboarding for a generation.

Maverick designer, Thomas Meyerhoffer, is renowned for his innovative product designs including the ground breaking eMate. His quest was to merge industrial design processes with his passion for surfing.

Using the natural world as an inspiration, “the resulting shape is organic and fluid which seems to fit the wave better. Instead of surfing the wave, the wave surfs you. The board integrates with the wave seamlessly. You become one with the wave.”

The radical board design has an hourglass shape. The purpose? “The three main sequences of longboarding – turn, glide and nose riding – are pushed to a higher level. The shape with its different sections has been designed to give you something unique. The total experience is a board that is faster, turns better and delivers a higher level of surf experience”

“Choosing plastic wrap for non-perishable items is often a choice that is unjustifiable for the real needs of the product. To address this problem, Corinne Pant looked at the real needs of electronic parts packaging. In a poetic and very functional gesture, it shows us once again that “less is more”.”

Spun isn’t the most relaxing chair to sit in, but it is a lot of fun. Designed by Heatherwick Studio, Spun is an attempt to make a chair with perfect rotational symmetry – it’s circular and balanced on a single point, like a spinning top. Sit in it and tilt to one side, and it begins to roll until you feel like you’re about to topple over backwards. Instead, you come full circle, rising back up to where you started.

The chair is assembled out of six pieces of metal, which are shaped using a metal-spinning process also used to create timpani drums and kitchenware. These pieces are welded together to create a seamless, sculptural whole. The rim that comes in contact with the ground is trimmed in leather to avoid damaging floors.

Limited-editon versions of the chair are available in brushed and polished steel, brushed and polished copper and aluminium, from London’s Haunch of Venison gallery. Heatherwick has also developed a more affordable version in moulded polyethylene, for manufacturer Magis.

At 9.7 inches this portable display allows you to effortlessly scroll between pages of graphics with unbeatable resolution with just the flick of a finger. All this and no batteries… Amazing. That and it could be yours for a meesley £8.99. Now i see what all the fuss has been about.
