Celebrating Good Design – the 2016 Good Design Awards

THE SEABIN PROJECT: This has been recognised recently and is just brilliant – basically an automatic rubbish bun for the water – to b deployed around marinas and commercial docks, it’s like a pool skimmer.  I honestly can’t work out how it works – but that’s why I’m not an inventor.

CLEVER PET: This little guy is a game console for your dog.  Yep,  you read that right.  It challenges your dog with puzzles featuring lights sounds and touch pads.  What a time to be alive:)

TESLA POWERWALL: I know this one well, and geez I love the look of it – you know that portable battery you carry around because your phone is always going flat?  Well this puppy from Tesla is that – on steroids.  Well, not quite, but that’s the best way to make it easy to understand.  It’s a battery for your home – storing power you generate from Solar, or take in when rates are low, and its drawn from when power is needed.  Simple, effective and the future.

OSMO: How cool is this – don’t have the kids being drawn back by screen-time – this guy links the screen with a toy, so kids can interact to make shapes and learn.  So simple, so well made.

SINGLED SNAP: A world first LED light bulb with a built in security camera, two way audio communication and cloud storage for video.  It’s a jack of all trades.

LATCH: This is one of many great door locks that turns your door into a smart door.  The Latch features touch screen, Key or Bluetooth entry – so you’ve got all new security on the front door, and forgetting a key doesn’t mean being locked out.

VOZZ HELMETS: Here’s a product that heat’s changed much – the Helmet.  But the Vozz is like no other – it unlocks at the back, and doesn’t have a chinstrap, instead the front chin cup is adjustable.  Innovative without question.
