25 Winners Of 2017’s A’ Design Award & Competition That Are Genius

4. “Wake Up” Boarding Time Tag by Ari Korolainen. Have you ever missed a flight? This product just might be perfect for you! ‘I got the idea for this product when I once fell asleep at the airport after a long trip,’ says designer Ari Korolainen. ‘Luckily, another traveler came and woke me up just before the boarding time. I would have missed my flight if this person had not noticed that I was asleep. I realized this must happen quite often at the airport, that it was a common problem that needed a solution.’ Korolainen shares that’s how the idea for “Wake Up” was born, specifically designed with travelers in mind. The tag features a clock face with movable pointers, which you can set to show the boarding time of your flight. You can keep the tag around your neck, arm, or around your luggage, anywhere someone walking by would notice it. That way, if you happen to fall asleep while waiting for your flight, someone can easily see the boarding time and the ‘Please wake me up’ message on it. Problem solved!
