Jumo - Space Saving Lamp by Edouard Larmaraud

Jumo - Space Saving Lamp by Edouard Larmaraud

I like the idea of a lamp which doesn’t have the same shape when it’s on or off. When it’s off this lamp looks like a little box. And when you open it, the lamp lights up thanks to a contact switch. Compared to the other desk lamps, this one can almost disappear when unused.

Duality Martini Cocktail Glass by Sprout Concept

Inspired by the tall slender look of a cocktail dress, the Duality martini glass retains its simplicity of form through its smooth feminine curves. The base widens to mimic the top, and includes side slits which gently peel open to reveal the central stem. The central stem is drawn from a blue tinted glass to add depth and extra dimension to the glass’s appearance.

New Breed Of Jaguar C-XF

New Breed Of Jaguar C-XF

More than just a show stopper, the concept embodies the look of Jaguar’s future sedans. The new design starts in front with a deeply recessed grille filled in with menacing black chrome mesh and a large centrally inset logo. This most likely means no more Jaguar ornaments leaping off the hood. Designers wanted C-XF to look as if it was milled from a solid piece of metal.

In a saturated market of premium and ultra premium Vodka brands, we created the next level of experience for consumers through our design approach that stirs up new emotional responses and connections.
