Entry: Mirai Rice Cooker
Rice is a staple food source in Asia, and yet also one of the largest contributors to the food waste epidemic. Mirai presents an innovative solution to this issue. This rice cooker features a unique cooking pot with a moulded bottom that is specially designed to re-cook leftover rice into crispy toasted rice cakes, which is a delicacy in many Asian cultures.

Entry: OCD Switch
Observations about human behaviour and the subconscious tells us that humans are naturally attracted to order, pattern and symmetry. OCD Switch takes advantage of such a predisposition, and employs an interruption of a geometric pattern on the switch to remind users of a light's turn-on mode, thereby encouraging them to turn-off the switch after use and to decrease electricity consumption.
