Flo - Water Filtration System by Ashley Legg

Flo – Water Filtration System by Ashley Legg

Flo is inspired by a simple observation; water moves in cycles. It flows into our homes, it’s used, and flows out. Water moves the same way in our homes as it does in the natural environment. The filtering process is revealed through an arterial network of tubes. We can trace the water as it rises up and passes through the various filtering stages, finally emerging into our glass.

Bobbin - Hanging Fibreglass Lace Lamp by Niels Van Eijk & Miriam Van Der Lubbe

Bobbin – Hanging Fibreglass Lace Lamp by Niels Van Eijk & Miriam Van Der Lubbe

Three rectangular objects that are made of strands of fibreglass now hang in the central lobby of the new building. Just like the original Bobbin Lace Lamp, they provide light without the use of bulbs. The light is produced in a hidden box and transported by the strands of fibreglass until it reaches the end of the object. In this way the entire construction of woven strands of glassfibre becomes a source of light in its own right.

Faceted Curtain by Hannah Allijin

Faceted Curtain by Hannah Allijin

A new system to use as a curtain. My idea behind it is to eliminate the colossus which arise when curtains are opened. The challenge is to change a big surface into a small form in different ways. Playing with forms and positions. From large to small in different ways. Born out of irritation with the heavy, massive curtains which absorb the light even when they are open.

Go Ahead Key - Lock Indicator by Jongoh Lee

Go Ahead Key – Lock Indicator by Jongoh Lee

We turn the key and lock the door. Through this action, I came up with an idea and created a key which has a center part turning round. This part helps indicate open and close of the door. When we insert the key into the key holder and turn round, by moving Flexible plastic, which indicates close and open, attached to the handle of the key, close state is shown. This structure is very simple and electricity is unnecessary.

Heating Solutions by Danny Wan

Heating Solutions by Danny Wan

The best place to fit a radiator is beneath the window in a room as cold air falling by the window will be balanced by the warm air rising from the radiator. This idea directs heat in front of the curtains instead of behind them allowing more heat to be retained within the home instead of losing heat behind the curtains. Water fills between the double layer tubes and as it gets heated the hot air gathers within the tubes and rises through the centre of each tube and through vents at the top, heat also radiates outwards.
