If you're a politically-minded industrial designer, it can be tough to draw a straight line between the work you do and the political system. However, Germany's University of Fine Arts Hamburg (HFBK Hamburg) along with their Federal University of Applied Administrative Sciences, funded by the Volkswagen Foundation, are trying to bridge the gap. They're sponsoring "Redesign DemocracyReimagining Voting," a design competition that seeks to create a better ballot box.Democracy thrives on participationthe moment when citizens cast their vote in an election is one of the most central expressions of democratic participation. But how does the act of voting affect us? Currently, there is often a gap between aspiration and reality: in some places, simple containers, sometimes converted garbage cans, serve as ballot boxes. It is time to rethink the meaningful act of voting and its contextin terms of design, space, and performance. As part of the research project ReDeRe, the HFBK Hamburg is organizing a competition for the re-design of the voting process. We are inviting all designers, artists, students, researchers and citizens to take part in the competition Redesign DemocracyReimagining Voting. The aim of the competition is to develop appropriate and visionary concepts that enhance the democratic act of voting. With your designs, you are actively shaping the future of democracy. They help to redefine the relevance and symbolism of voting. Be part of this forward-looking project and help to make the act of voting a visible expression of democracy!The deadline for entries is April 14, 2025.

The Core77 Design Awards Sports & Outdoors category features consumer products or services created to encourage play, movement, or learning. Examples include toys, games, athletic equipment, athletic wear and accessories, outdoor gear and equipment. Enter today.Tyler Gilbert has spent 20 years in design asking 'how' and 'why.' He recently launched his own design studio, Tyler Gilbert Design, building on a career as an industrial designer passionate about creating products and experiences that engage consumers with brands in a meaningful way. From his base in the Pacific Northwest, Tyler has worked across categories, including consumer electronics, food and beverage containment, and e-bikes. Surveying the current state of the design industry, Tyler finds the number and breadth of new and emerging tools and technologies that can be leveraged for design work "exciting, though possibly overwhelming." He believes that "strong design skills will be critical to employing these tools appropriately to generate results that benefit the consumer (or client) and the design industry." Tyler feels more concern over what he considers "the contradiction between the energy resource demands of the emerging AI tools and the imperative to sustainably create new products." In his opinion, that fundamental conflict requires designers to focus on the "important discussion of 'how' and 'why' to the decisions around product creation and production." Tyler's advice to entrants in the Core77 Design Awards? "Create a picture of the problem the solution is intended to solve, and discuss how it has met, exceeded, or even missed the mark. This could include how the submission improves upon the incumbent solutions."Stellar Design won the 2024 Sports & Outdoors category for Yardsale P1 Poles.The 2024 winner in the Core77 Design Awards Sports & Outdoors category was Stellar Design for Yardsale's P1 Poles, magnetic modular ski poles that offer convenient packing, handling, parts replacement, and even an integrated GoPro mount in each handle.If you have a design project that will get our jurors asking 'how' and 'why,' submit it to the 2025 Core77 Design Awards.

Except for the obviously portable kind, most lamps are designed to be left alone where you installed them, especially if theyre placed on walls or ceilings. Even desk lamps are rarely moved unless youre redesigning your interior or replacing it with something else. You dont even have any direct interaction with lamps these days, especially smart ones that you can either command with your voice or automate away completely.In complete contrast, this lamp is almost designed to be played with. Yes, even for the variant that would hang from your ceiling. With a design that seems inspired by some fantasy clockwork contraption, this 3D printed Gear Cube Lamp brings more than just light but also an interactive experience thats nothing short of a large fidget toy.Designer: Ruven BalsPlaying with a lamp sounds a bit foolhardy. After all, there is heat as well as electricity involved. Even more worrisome if its a design that was just 3D printed and assembled on your own. And yet, thats part of the adventure with this Gear Cube Lamp, which feels like a journey from start to finish, one that admittedly has a satisfying ending if you do reach the destination.At first glance, the lamp looks simply like an elaborate cube with pieces whose internal edges are shaped like the tooth on a gear. Twist one corner, however, and all the other pieces turn in sync with each other. Its reminiscent of the inner workings of a mechanical clock, or some steampunk contraption that threatens to unravel reality with each turn.Making this elaborate interactive lamp is as much a puzzle as it is a work of art. You 3D print no less than 17 parts of different shapes and sizes, assembling them with the same precision as a model ship. You can opt to use a glueless construction, in which case you need to 3D print 24 additional connectors, or you can fall back to using glue when all else fails.The end result might very well be worth all that effort, because you will have a lamp that is not only a light fixture but also, in some ways, a toy. The desk lamp variant definitely fits this better, as it can be within reach and easily lets you twist and turn the corners to get your mind wandering. At the very least, its an interesting decorative lamp whose form you can change every so often to add a bit of flavor to your space.The post Clockwork-inspired 3D printed Cube Lamp is part fidget toy first appeared on Yanko Design.

Bandit9 Motors is well respected here at Yanko Design for their unique sense of going about for restomod conversions that have a piece of history associated with them. Kickstarting their exciting journey with motorbike restomods, the custom tuning shop moved onto the four wheels with the stunning Monaco electric car in pure black, and then later on the improved version of EVE Odyssey arrived.Going back and forth between two-wheelers and four-wheelers alternatively, theyve revealed the War Truck restomod under their coachbuilding division VAN DARYL Gallery. This will be their second project after the electric Batmobile under this sub-brand. The donor jeep for this build has a lot of history behind it, as it is one of the jeeps used by U.S. troops after the Vietnam War. Otherwise lying abandoned in obscurity and inevitable deterioration, the VAN DARYL War Truck (yes thats what it is called) is infused with new life.Designer: VAN DARYLAt heart the War Truck is an amalgam of intense military history with modern automotive aesthetics, reviving the tough vehicle into a restomod highlighted by a sci-fi treatment. Once VAN got the first jeep into their shop the truck was stripped down to see what old parts could still be relevant in the modern build. First, the team reinforced the custom-designed body with steel and aluminum frames to make it highly durable just like the Tesla Cybertruck. They also decided to increase the ground clearance by refitting the independent coil suspension. The front and rear drum brakes have been retained, encapsulated by the more modern steelie-inspired forged alloy wheels that have light aero-disc influence.The boxy look is complemented by the rear-mounted full-spare tire housing, side-running exhausts, lightly flared fenders, bespoke steel bumper, retro-inspired LED headlights, and taillights that carry the same neo-retro design ethos. The edgy silhouettes are matched well by the rectangular windshield and mirrors, as well as the low-cut doors having wooden handles for the classic feel. According to Villanueva The War Truck isnt just some homage or remake. To call it a restoration would be an oversimplification. It is reimagined, rehabilitated, revived, and refined.On the inside, the jeep is drop-dead gorgeous with a purpose-built theme in pearl white. It comes with sports seats, modern switches to choose from various options, bespoke knobs, an infotainment display and an audio system. The steering and custom shift knob get the wooden bespoke treatment, while the widescreen instrument cluster panel is nothing short of impressive. The spacious and functional boot derives inspiration from yacht designs having teak-style wood deck trims. The whole interior can be customized as per the clients needs with plenty of options to choose from.Powering the guts of this vehicle is the battle-tested 4-cylinder, 2.3L engine but buyers can also opt for the powerful upgraded version, including one that is fully electric. The original version churns out 71hp and 128 ft-lbs of torque for a top speed of 100mph and a range of 300 miles per tank. In this configuration, the buyers can go for automatic or manual transmission variants. The handling and performance characteristics have been tuned to deliver maximum driving pleasure which makes the Wat Truck a force to reckon with. The vehicle hand-built on a made-to-order basis is available for order right away.The post War Truck is an open configuration restomod EV based on battle-tested Vietnam war jeeps first appeared on Yanko Design.
