| The Techno Bra is an intimate wearable device that is outfitted with a heart-rate monitor woven into the fabric, and global positioning system and wireless phone embedded into contoured gel pads. If the monitor detects a sudden leap in the wearer's heart rate, indicating severe panic or heart distress, it will send a signal that alerts emergency services or a loved one and relays the victim's location via GPS. False alarms can be averted if the wearer switches off the alarm, which vibrates silently. Future Retro Bike: Kursty's design was a finalist of the 1997 European Bicycle Design Contest - Vision 2000 - in Milan, where it won Runner-Up against the world's leading bicycle designers, including Cannondale and Mike Burrows. Immediately following its success at the design competition, the Future Retro went on exhibition at the London Design Museum. No-blow brolly: Tested to destruction in automotive wind tunnels, the no-blow brolly features a two-tier construction that can withstand the most fearsome of rainy-day gusts. Designed to stabilise in high winds, the no-blow brolly will never blow inside-out! |
