Floating Island on the Move

The Solar Floating Resort is an example of what the distant future might hold when it comes to architecture, our reliance on renewable resources, and dealing with overpopulation on land. Covered completely in a photovoltaic skin, the resort is 100% self-sufficient and non-polluting.  On top of that, the floating palace is actually a modular system that divides into much smaller components that can be moved and assembled almost anywhere.

Fan Favorite

Mauricio Affonso’s FAN table is made from over 400 birch slats and a folding geometric base that make it possible to transform the design into an unlimited amount of custom sizes and shapes ranging from circle to square. It’s a super-functional and attractive design that’s adaptable to any situation.

The Human Signal

There are times when rescue workers and policemen have to work in darkness or low-light conditions. To make themselves visible and even to the extent of working as a human traffic signal, we have here the Tex-vest concept. The jersey is equipped with LEDs in green, red and yellow, depicting the traffic signal colors. Using specific hand movements the arrows and colors can be manipulated. I like the fact that it is interactive, viable and can help police officers regulate traffic.

An Evergreen Cooker Hood

Zephiro is an elegant cooker hood designed by Emo design for Falmec. Functional yet simple, the hood is equipped with e.Ion technology for filtration. This technology is an ionization system that reduces odor by eliminating organic molecules (bacteria, viruses and allergens) suspended in the air. The main advantage of this system is that it eliminates the use of exhaust tubes or vents for the hood. This not only supports clean architecture, but also enhances the hood with ceiling suspension.

Literal Gas Lamp

The Gas Lamp (which isn’t a gas lamp at all!) is a straightforward approach to the pendant that uses the iconic design of the propane gas tank as a shade. It’s a vivid reminder of the evolution of lighting that will compliment industrial and outdoor spaces alike.

Cozy Dryer

It is hard to imagine using a heater during these summer months but the truth is, winter will soon creep up and it will back to the fire logs and radiators. Add to the scene, wet clothes and never-ending laundry! To erase this uncomfortable thought, we have here the Cozy Rack; a radiator that keeps you cosy whilst drying your clothes. Talk about killing two birds with one stone, I totally get you Mr. Designer, and I love it!

The Rainbow View

Rainbow is a mini computer designed especially for the new age Smart TV and intelligent media entertainment systems at home. The design includes three options for display: LCD, Television or Projector. The device also houses a modem and WiFi Station for home network, facilitating easy Internet Access. The cool quotient is upped with the inclusion of an ambient lighting system, that peps up the whole deal!

The Story of Lampus

When you are at the helm of an innovative organization such as the Art Lebedev Studio, one can only expect only the best in design to be dished out. Once again your concept is spectacular, so take a bow Art!

The Lumpus is an adjustable modular table lamp with three LED modules located on the same axis. Crafted from anodized aluminum, each lamp rotates independently and switches-on, individually. Simple and minimal, the lamp is as elegant as a swan!

Green Beast

An electric green shell. Bold, sporty, aggressive styling. Ultra-bright adaptive LED headlights. A super-flexible racing-style seat. Horsepower for days. These are just a few ways you might describe this sexy…. TRACTOR! (Gotcha!) But seriously, the T-Ractor concept is a modern, sporty twist on agricultural machinery that is a must-have in the driveway of every redneck!

Imprint

Gotta love the latest design from NOCC in this design where concrete meets wood in a simple, yet purposeful modern table/stool combination. Imprint consists of a solid, concrete molded base and a light, polished, wooden piece that fits perfectly over it. Combine them to save space, separate and use as a seating solution for two or as a seat/table combo for one.

Jam Style Swatch

This modern timepiece concept designed for the Swatch brand uses a familiar functionality to latch on to your wrist. In the same way you’d secure a belt to your waist with a jam-style buckle, simply slide the band through the face and pull to tighten. The functional design makes it possible to get the exact right fit each time. Easy as pie and it looks cool too!
