Design for a Dangerous Planet
Businessweek's Annual Design Awards for new products with one gold going to 2Seconds Quecha, a tent that, using spring hoops, sets up in 2 seconds. Note too, the cocoon disaster relief shelters and the one-handed tourniquet.
Other golds to the DKL Protective Helmet, ResQTec hydraulic rescue tools, SignalOne's Vocal Smoke Detector that uses a parent's recorded voice to wake children in case of a fire and provide them with evacuation instructions.
Key trends, more good design coming from Asia and more design for a dangerous planet.
