Don´t you sometimes wish to see the world through children´s eyes? They see it from a different point of view. Much easier and jet still logical. At the same time children are very inventive and creative and have a lot of ideas. And they also have their own website to learn more about invention and creativity.

The inventive kids website has a playful, informative and engaging content. With the launch of the inventive kids blog, children can experience invention and innovation in “real time”. The blog aims to nurture the creative spirit in children and to provide helpful information to teachers and parents.

In celebration of its mission to recognize and foster invention, the US National Inventors Hall of Fame has announced its 2012 Inductees. According to the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) the inventors to be honored this year created remarkable innovations that include the now ubiquitous laser printer commonly found in the workplace, the thin-film head technology that has contributed to the success of the disk drive industry, and the first statin which pioneered the class of drugs targeted at lowering cholesterol.





The National Inventors Hall of Fame annually accepts nominations for men and women whose work has changed society and improved the quality of life. The candidate’s invention must be covered by a United States patent, and the work must have had a major impact on society, the public welfare, and the progress of science and the useful arts. This year’s Induction ceremony will take place on May 2 at the historic Patent Office Building, now the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Portrait Gallery, in Washington, D.C.






The 2012 Inductees are:

Plants upside down

All good things come from above, why not plants. Boskke, a company from New Zealand, shows how.

With its innovative design the Sky Planter defys gravity. The unique upside-down planter encourages abundant greenery at home and at work, without sacrificing floor space.

But how do you stop the soil from falling out?

According to the company a simple locking disc or ceramic collar fits around the stem of the plant and connects to the planter body with small tabs, much like a tea pot lid. A plastic mesh is also included that can be cut to fit around the plant stem and sit on top of the soil as added protection against soil falling.



Several years of testing found that a small amount of soil may initially fall out when the Sky Planter is first hung, but it will quickly compact and stabilise, say the inventors.




And the maintenance? Just water from above.

A porous ceramic reservoir sits at the top of the Sky Planter and connects with the soil. It’s filled through a small hole at the top of the planter and water is gradually released into the soil by diffusion. This means most of the water reaches the plant roots directly, reducing evaporation and conserving water.

The Pillow Talk

Do you remember the long distance kiss-messenger we introduced you in February? Here is another innovative product for long-distance couples: The Pillow Talk.

The device for loved ones was created by Scottish designer Joanna Montgomery. As written on her blog Pillow Talk is a project aiming to connect long distance lovers.

Each person has a pillow for their bed and a ring sensor which they wear to sleep at night. The sensor wirelessly communicates with the other person’s pillow. When one person goes to bed, their lover’s pillow begins to glow softly to indicate their presence. Placing your head on the pillow allows you to hear the real-time heartbeat of your loved one. The result is an intimate interaction between two lovers, regardless of the distance between them.

It really works!

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…

Get a Grip, Bunjee it!

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!
