Nordic Trendshop
The annual Nordic Exceptional Trendshop (NEXT) will be held at the beginning of December this year, in Copenhagen. It's a combined event with exhibitions of the latest developments in technology to come out of nordic countries, with a conference on the ideas and technologies of the future. Some of the exhibits look damn good! Highlights include Nano clothing (shirts that don't stain, socks that don't smell), the hug shirt (activated by bluetooth to give the sensation of being hugged), bacterial photography (differential growth of light sensitive bacteria) as well as a host of 3D gaming equipment and devices using renewable energy sources.
Two exhibits caused a particular stir on blogs recently - Transparent concrete and the concrete VDU from Litracon and Innovation Lab:
Both are essentially simple ideas but have huge potential - anywhere there is concrete, there could be a display, whether it be displaying advertising on walls or images on flooring and ceilings. Check out the video, and the potential applications on the Litracon site.
Along with all the slick exhibits are more simpler concepts. One that paticularly grabbed me is the Cutting Scale.
It has an integral area on the cutting board that can be used for weighing food, combining two appliances in one. Simple, but a genius idea.
