Amazing Innovations:

 

1. The milk carton that changes color before expiring

What a great idea designer Ko Yang has had with this milk carton that changes color telling us how fresh the milk is.

The carton begins being white in color, and as the expiry date moves closer, it begins changing color to tell us we should drink the milk before it¡¯s too late. A brilliant way to help us consume our food without wasting any,

2. A cellphone that runs on Coca-Cola. Incredible!



Designer DaiziZheng brings us an interesting concept: a Nokia phone that runs on Coca-Cola. Yes, you read right.It may sound incredible, but it seems this eco-friendly cellphone model really works. The designer has called it Nokia¡®green¡¯phone and it works generating electricity through carbohydrates such as the sugar contained in this and other similar drinks. It does not pollute because the end-product of the process is water and oxygen. And to top it all off, Daizi herself assures us that this completely biodegradable battery can last up to 3 and 4 times the normal life of lithium batteries. 

 

3. Take a seat wherever you like with this portable seat 
 

What a great idea it would be to always have a seat at hand to sit down and rest, something light and easy to carry. That¡¯s just what Dolmen is, this clever seat made of cardboard, which -as always- comes from Japan.It weighs only 360 grams and folds so that it can be carried in a purse or briefcase. Whenever you feel like sitting down and taking a breather, all you need to do is unfold it. For the time being, we can unfortunately only buy it in Japan , for the equivalent of approximately 7.50€, in 4 different colors. Until it's available elsewhere, we'll just have to sit down and wait. 

 
 
4. Shave anywhere, whenever you like 
 


Small, light and simple. This is the perfect razor concept for today¡¯s hectic, dynamic life. With this  razor you can finally shave anywhere you like. Its name is Carzor and is designed by Kuo Chia Hung. It is a portable razor, the size of a credit card, making it perfect for carrying in a wallet. It comes with two spare blades and, best of all, it includes a small mirror, so that you can shave at any time. It also includes a small filament that gives off scents such as mint, lemon, sandal, ocean or orange to avoid irritation and give some aroma. 


 
5. The suitcase that becomes a scooter. Forget running around the airport. 
  

Do you travel frequently and hate having to run dow n n ever-ending corridors and terminals? Well, the people at Samsonite have joined forces with Micro Mobility to design this brilliant suitcase called Samsonite X Micro Mobility Trolley Scooter. 

It is a suitcase that transforms into an useful and amusing scooter. It takes advantage of the suitcase¡¯s two wheels, and the handgrip becomes a handlebar. This is the end of having to run to catch your flight.
