Want to see another innovative fair product, which retailers will find at our fair stand at the Creativ Salzburg?
Well this one you can rather smell than see, but on the other hand you will never run out of fresh air. Our Alpine air in a can is coming straight from the Alps, filled up in Salzburg, Austria.
For all who like the smell of fresh air, want to have a typical Austrian souvenir or just a funny little accessoire…
Our variety of inventions includes products from all over the world. The Tea Diver and Tea Fishing, two extraordinary products from a design studio in Korea, we found at a design fair in Asia. Bunjee, the product we want to show you today and which also will be part of our product line at the Creativ Salzburg, we first saw at a design fair in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
As shown above, Bunjee is a mobile phone accessory that simply fits over the top of your phone and clips to your clothing or your bag, ensuring it never gets lost, damaged or stolen again.
Tomorrow we´ll show you another product for which we have exclusive distribution rights. So stay tuned…
Our plans for the weekend? Yesterday we already told you that we will participate at the Creativ Salzburg. Today we want to introduce you some of our innovative fair products:
The Tea Fishing from the Korean design studio AbelParnters, for which we have the exclusive distribution rights in Germany and Austria, for instance.
As you know, tea bags have a common problem. The string often slips into the hot water cup. Tea Fishing avoids that. Just put the little figures on the edge of the cup, the string of the tea bag into the fishing pole and your tea bag stays where it should.
Remember our Tea Diver?
This is another innovative product from AbelPartners you will see at our Creativ stand at the Salzburg Exhibition Centre in hall number 10, stand 712.
We look forward to meet you there!

Can you believe that? To produce dinnerwear you only need two things: fallen leaves and water. VerTerra shows how, because the company´s environmentally-friendly plates, bowls and serving dishes are made from these two ingredients.
The innovative idea was born from the most simple and unexpected encounter. As his car bumped its way down a dirt road in rural India, Michael Dwork saw a woman soaking leaves in water, then pressing them in a crude waffle iron. She pulled out what looked like a plate and served food on it.
Though he can’t remember what he ate, that simple organic plate started Michael on a journey to refine what he saw that day into a stylish, durable and truly environmentally-friendly line of single-use dinnerware.
Founded on the belief that it’s possible to combine high design with the highest standards of environmental responsibility, VerTerra now redefines what stylish, sustainable and compostable disposable dinnerware can be. The company offers a chic touch of nature to each table.
Durable and versatile the dinnerware is lightweight yet sturdy and stands up to hot foods, hot/cold liquids, the hot sun and can even used to bake in the oven, store in the fridge and reheat in the microwave. And since VerTerra is all-natural there are no concerns about plastics, glues, lacquers, veneers or any toxins to leach into foods.
Do you like crazy clothes? Yes? Well, then the Scratch-n-Sniff Scented Denim might be of your interest. The jeans actually smell like raspberry candy when scratched. Naked & Famous Denim, the company which invented them says the effect is created by coating the denim fabric with a special coating that contains mini microcapsules. The coating is applied and then baked into the denim. The tiny capsules have a bit of perfume inside and as you scratch them the scent is released.
Naked & Famous Denim also came up with jeans you can charge up with light (can be natural sunlight or artificial bulb light) and then shut the lights and watch ‘em glow! The jeans will also glow intensely under UV light, so if you wear them in a club with a blacklight, your pants will appear neon green!
According to the company these kind of jeans work because they apply a phosphorescent coating to the fabric in Japan. This coating is baked into the fabric and will absorb light and slowly release that light with an emanating green glow, just like Glow in the Dark stickers. Another fun aspect of the jeans is after you beat them up a bit the wear patterns will cause the coating to fade in certain parts of the jean and will create a unique piece of glowing art.

Presidents, especially the US ones, always attract a lot of attention. But there are some facts that aren’t commonly known. Well, that Barak Obama is the first African-American US-president and that he received the Nobel Peace Prize 2009 doesn´t sound new. But did you know that John F. Kennedy was so far the only Catholic American president and that he won a Purlitzer Prize.
And Abraham Lincoln? Do you know that he was the only United States President to hold a patent?
Want to know more? Read some quotes from about.com: Lincoln had a strong interest in new technology. As a young man he took a boatload of merchandise down the Mississippi River. At one point the boat slid onto a dam and was set free only after heroic efforts. In later years, while traveling on the Great Lakes, Lincoln’s ship ran afoul of a sandbar.
These two similar experiences led him to conceive his invention. In 1849 Abraham Lincoln received a patent for „A Device for Buoying Vessels Over Shoals“. Abraham Lincoln whittled the model for his patent application with his own hands out of wood. It is on display at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of American History.
The invention consisted of a set of bellows attached to the hull of a ship just below the water line. After reaching a shallow place, the bellows were filled with air that buoyed the vessel higher, making it float higher. The invention was never marketed, it was discovered that the extra weight the device added increased the probability of running onto sandbars, defeating the purpose of the invention.
First, he invented a drink and now there will be a museum named after him, the Cade Museum for Invention and Innovation. But let’s start from the beginning.
Robert Cade was born in September 1927, in San Antonio, Texas, and worked most of his life at the medical school at the University of Florida. During his career at the University he was the lead inventor of Gatorade, which is now a well known product of PepsiCo and distributed into 80 countries.
Like many inventors, his main aim was to find a solution to a common everyday challenge: How can sports men quickly replenish the liquid they lose in sweat during a tournament? They need more than just water, they also need carbohydrates and electrolytes. He developed a drink for the athletic team of the University called „the Gators“, where the name Gatorade derives from.
Although Gatorade is his best know invention, Dr Cade was interested in many other fields. Among others, his numerous inventions also include the first shock dissipating football helmet and he was also a musician and collected Violins.
In 2008, the Cade Museum Foundation had announced that the Depot Park in Gainsville, Florida, had been selected as location. The museum will be built in 3 phases and will inspire future entrepreneurs and inventors through exhibitions, creativity programs and many other events.
The Foundation has been supporting Florida inventors for many years and just recently announced the 2012 Cade Museum Prize, giving away $50,000 in prize money for the successful candidate. This prize should encourage and inspire the work of all Florida inventors and early-stage entrepreneurs, says Phoebe Miles Cade, President of the Cade Museum Foundation.
