walnut by jin hee shin from korea

designer's own words:

What would people do if they had two walnuts in their hand? A lot of people just don’t stop rolling the walnuts repetitively in their hand. They can’t even notice what they are doing. This simple behavior amuses people a little and is also good for hand’s health. With incorporating these habits of behavior, ‘Walnut’ is a camera that does not require batteries. As the name implies, this camera comes in the form of a walnut. It is powered by kinetic energy and is charged by giving it a turn like people do with walnuts. Existing products that are available for self-charging usually have difficulties in turning or rolling. In contrast, when you need to take a picture, ‘Walnut’ will be already charged with your ‘walnut habit’.
