Who says art and technology can't mix? The brainchild of both Samsung Electronics and Seoul National University, this highly provocative circular printer was picked as one of 130 winners from the 2004 Industrial Design Excellence Award (IDEA). Thinking out of the (square) box, the designers opted for a rotational rather than the traditional linear movement of printers. The result: A printing device that's both refreshing in form and imagination and as portable as it can get at one-third the usual size. Print speed and connectivity issues aside, we'd iterate what one jury member said: "Samsung… please build this!"
