There are times when some everyday gizmos just fail to catch the eye of innovators after so many years of use. Although there is the need to improve their functions, it is unfortunate that there are certain devices that just remain as they are. Take for example the ordinary ice cube tray.
When you look into an ice cube tray in your refrigerator, you instantly know what it looks like and what it does. But many years of producing ice out of them, people may have experienced the ice cubes falling into the sink while removing them for use. The common design of the typical ice cube tray just allows some of the ice cubes to go wasting when they fall off from the try and into the floor or sink when being removed. But this will no longer be a problem with the Brrrrr Polar Bear Ice Tray.
The Brrrrr Polar Bear Ice Tray is a simple and yet innovating way to make ice cubes without the usual waste. This uniquely looking polar bear is designed with ten legs and a cap for a mouth. Users fill the device with water by removing the cap. There is a runoff spout located at the other end that indicates that the right amount of water is inside the Brrrrr Polar Bear. Then put the cap back and place in the freezer.
This design allows for users to make ice cubes that do not absorb the odors of other food inside the freezer. It is even more convenient to use since users need not handle the ice cubes when solid. All they need to do is bang the device on the counter to remove the ice cubes. Open the cap and the ice cubes will fall right off into a glass. It can be quite a useful ice cube maker for the home. Too bad it still remains as a design concept created by black+blum. But you can still check it out at Yanko Design for the moment.
