Harbour Fishbowl by Ma Xiaoqi & Ma Zhe

You know one of those ‘kick myself for not having thought of it first’ ideas? This is a prime example. The function of the Harbour fishbowl is explained in one simple image above. The fishbowl comes with a smaller volume attached to its side. When you want to change the water, tip the bowl over so that the water gently spills out. The water level should gradually recede and the fish should find itself inside the smaller volume in the fishbowl. Now simply pour fresh water in and you’re done. That’s it! The fish doesn’t need to be trapped, baited, and pulled out of its bowl and put into a glass or plastic bag while you change the water in its fishbowl. It simply has its own safe space to reside in while you change the water in the bowl every week or so. So simple, so sensible.

“港口鱼缸”，我们乍一看感觉这个设计很简单，可能也很实用，但我们看到这类作品时，往往会想，为什么我没有首先想到这种设计？当我们使用一般的鱼缸养鱼时，我们都会需要经常给鱼换水，换水的时候需要把鱼暂时放到其他容器中，等倒完水后再把鱼放回来。这样不仅麻烦，还会对鱼产生刺激。下面这个简单的设计能让给鱼换水的过程变得简单，只需要沿着这个鱼缸边上的突起结构倒水，鱼就会留在缸里，倒完水后再放入清水即可。这个设计是如此的简单，我们只需看一眼下面的图就知道它是如何工作的了。
Multifunctional Convenient Shaver by Kong Dezheng

We may be stuck at home for a bit but that shouldn’t stop us from looking good, right? Kong Dezheng’s Multifunctional Convenient Shaver is a one-piece, two-part product that lets you take control of frizzy, unkempt facial hair. The pen-shaped device slides right into your pocket, allowing you to carry it around with you wherever you go. When needed, the pen packs a pair of grooming scissors at one end, and a folding razor at the other, giving you the ability to groom yourself on the go. Quite nifty if you ask me!

这种笔形设计的刮胡刀方便携带，笔的一端是可折叠式的小剪刀，另一端是一个折叠的剃须刀，让你随时随地都能整洁你的面部，听起来很方便，但我认为，使用传统的电动剃须刀刮胡子也是一件很省时又简单的事情，而且已经够简单省时了，这样的设计虽然看起来很方便，但原来的方式也已经很方便了，这样的设计貌似只是携带方便了一些而已，而且胡子也长得没这么快，需要随时携带刮胡刀一天刮个几次，一般一两天刮一次就足以。
Tri-Cane by Jordan Lau Tsz Chun

This nifty walking stick can turn into a stool when you need! The Tri-cane considers the needs of the person using it, offering more than just support. The cane’s innovative design allows the handle to open up into a seat, while the cane itself comes with three collapsible legs that open outwards, turning it into a tripod-stool.

Tri-Cane这个设计考虑到了使用拐杖的人不仅有拐杖的需求，他们也想坐一坐休息休息。而Tri-Cane可以展开3条可折叠的“腿”，把手也可以展开变成坐垫，形成一个三脚凳，收起来之后就又变成了一根拐杖。
