I love Industrial Design competitions. DesignBoom is a european site offering online design courses. They also hold monthly design competitions.

This month, the theme is dinner. In 2015. They had nearly 5,000 participants worldwide. Here are some of my favourites:

One of the winners takes the lowly BIC pen to new culinary heights… Forget that the creator has branded them Dink… I’m wondering though – will there still be BIC pens in 2015?

By 2015, everyone on the planet will be on Facebook – and all direct human-2-human interaction will no longer be permitted. What’s a lonely girl to do but date dogs. This special people / dog placesettings will soon be available on the Bloomingdale wedding registry.

In another move to limit human interaction – check out these mobile table vehicles: WheelYouPassTheSalt does just that… and how about that classy Tooth-Pick-Up-Truck?

Finally, an idea that’s actually useful. It’s called dEAR. They’re rechargeable power plug-ins that connect to self-heating kitchen ware. When the charge is depleted, simply plug it into a wall socket for recharging.
