Eye of Ra'

The ambition of this design is to merge ancient Egyptian history with the futuristic fluid methodology of design. It is a literal translation of Egyptian most iconic religious tool into a fluid form of street furniture that borrows the characteristics of the flowing style where no specific shapes or design is advocated. The Eye represents both the male and female counterparts in the procreation of God Ra. The street furniture hence is presented in a sturdy design symbolizing masculinity and strength while its curvaceous looks portray femininity and gracefulness.

Elastomeric Technology Collection

Elastomeric™ technology, an exclusive development preventing excess pressure from building around the eye; this new offering provides a superior gushy seal, unparalleled in other swimming goggles. Clear Sight™ Technology: Split-angled lenses offer 180° peripheral vision with zero distortion. All curved lens goggles inherently have some degree of distortion that cause eye fatigue, and prevent maximum visibility. Utilizing a split-angled lens, Speedo combines two flat lenses together, thereby eliminating the need to curve the lens, while offering the best sight possible.

Steam

Steam is a stove-top tea maker. It brews tea by passing hot water pressurized by steam through stacked kettles. Reflecting upon tea culture in east, Steam has stacking teapots specially designed for tea preparation. Larger lower kettle is filled with water to boil, and then boiled water evaporates into upper kettle, steeping loose-leaf tea blend rather slowly. When desired amount is collected in upper part, switch on top is turned to stop water transfer. Serving is made using two kettles with poured tea and water to dilute, therefore allowing user to adjust the strength of drink.
