Portable cassette player “ELBOW” (designers: Andrius Žemaitis and Marius Paulikas)

ELBOW is a portable cassette player reduced to the core. In XXI century, the rise of cheap and convenient digital media has made all physical formats “outdated”. Still, the tactile intimacy of physical formats is dearly missed. That’s the reason behind the resurgence of vinyl, and also motivation behind ELBOW. The audio cassette is not just a medium – it’s a cultural icon. Therefore we feel it should not be obscured inside a device, but brought to the forefront of user’s attention. By exposing the cassette to the elements, ELBOW offers a fresh user experience, allowing the listener to directly appreciate the mechanical motion, or even forcibly interrupt playback. A typical cassette player uses a capstan and a pinch roller to drag the tape along the magnetic head at a constant speed, with additional pulleys rotating the cassette reels to manage the tape. In ELBOW, a single pulley is used to drive the tape. To maintain constant playback rate, tape speed is tracked with sensor and used to continuously adjust motor voltage. ELBOW’s most prominent feature is the bi-axial arm. It rotates in two directions – upward motion enables the insertion of a cassette, while sideways motion allows to manually switch the playing direction. Playback is controlled by a single wheel – turning left from the initial position activates the motor and increases volume, turning in the opposite direction fast-forwards the cassette. The device has two connections: a standard 3.5mm audio plug, and a mini-USB port for charging and transferring audio to a computer. Also, an additional small push-pin can be used to attach player to clothes and other objects.

Preventive educable game “ALOIZAS” for the people of Alzheimer’s disease (designer: Karolina Vaikšnytė)

Aloizas (name originated from scientist Alois Alzheimer) – is a preventive educable game, which helps to exercise motor and mental skills, focus attention and stave off the illness which is progressing very fast. This educable game is balanced precisely for people who have Alzheimer”s disease. Graphic elements, package and also conception of the game are created after research of target audience, its needs and abilities. The game is designed for the people who have easy or advanced stage of Alzheimer”s disease. The game consisting of text, colours, shapes and spatial cognition tasks, which have easy and difficult levels. There is a navigation system, which main elements are blue and green colours, because of them it is possible to separate the difficulty of the task. Each player can choose tasks according to their capabilities and needs. A „clock test“ will help to choose a difficulty level. The main goal of the game – to give a motivation for patients and make them to desire exercise their mental activity with preventive measures. Currently patients are using preventive measures, which are designed for elementary school students, but this disturbs patients, because they don‘t want to do tasks which are created for children. For this reason the design of the game and the conception of tasks is fitted for older age audience.

Decorative bowls and plates “GIRIA” (designer: Evelina Kudabaitė)

Everyday objects are used, seen, touched. Tactility and expressive qualities of materials have important communicative value, so the design process requires for intense research on textures. “GIRIA” – a collection of decorative bowls and plates balancing between tactility, shape and color. The project is aimed to pass the sensations of the forest through the dishes, to establish a connection between the user and the object. This process is an allusion into the urban person`s connection with the nature. Tree dishes are the result of an experimental process by which I wanted to show how materials, which are destined to become waste – tree bark and leaves – can be transformed into sustainable design through the traditional crafts. The transformation process is the rebirth of a tree into new objects – dishes. It is a research on the alternative and unconventional ways to shape wood, which reminds of the culinary process. During the research a recipe that consists of harmless organic substances has been found.
