Design your life-an unforgettable tour in Red Dot Design Museum

I mainly came across you by chance, but I would not miss you on purpose.
You are more than a museum that simply displays paintings or sculptures. You are portraying ideas and concepts as a matter of fact. Impressed by how great minds can shape the world and how those inspirations may design our life, I did enjoy the tour in this design museum which exhibited not only entries from the winners of the international Red Dot Awards but also ideas that have already been applied to the market.

I would like to share some of them.

It is a magic pen that can draw with the colour you like. Simply point it to a certain object and then it will be able to draw in the colour of that object.



Such designs allow several persons to share the same MP3 device while listening to the music.




In this pair of dancing shoes, there are tiny buttons fixed inside that can quake to the rhythm of the music, which enable the deaf to dance.


Such curved ground can collect rainwater of a larger area and reserve it to water the nearby plant.

This device can produce ripples to the rhythm of the background music.




With this camera, the blind can touch the “shape” of every object after it takes a picture which transfers image of the real world into intensive dots.

There are much more things left there to be explored. What I have uncovered are just part of them. On top of the exhibation I mentioned above, you would be overtaken by the speed of various events that take place here. From mini-concert to on-the-spot portraying practice, you would surely enjoy to your heart's content.

Come, have a look yourselves, and be awed by the wide array of past, present and future innovations!

  1. Somehow, the first thing that comes into my mind is a gearbox I saw one day in a TopGear. It is really amazing, I have to confess. DCT, AMT, MCT, Auto, CVT or whatever, how can the people like you and me create machines with such complexity!? Though they are quite different from the "Red Dot designers", I think they are worth revering, too.
