Supercompact Bathroom

Supercompact Bathroom

A friend of mine just moved to Sweden and showed me potential apartments in the downtown area. I was shocked to see how tiny the bathrooms are. It didn’t have a tub and the toilet actually sat in the shower. Next to that you had the small vanity and a towel rack. The Flight Concept by Isabelle Hauser could be the answer for such small tight spaces.

Rubberized School Desks

Rubberized School Desks

The schools in Mdantsane, South Africa are poorly equipped and lack basic facilities such as chairs and desks which are required to run the schools. With over 7000 students and only 3 schools, the volume of desks to the space available is another key factor to consider. For this reason the design is a combination of both a desk and chair. Each desk is formed from recycled rubber.

Water Me When I Tilt

Water Me When I Tilt

The action of this vase illustrates the state of the flower within. Made from handcrafted pewter, the vase stands proud when it is full of water, though as the level of water evaporates, the vase starts to lie down. An obvious metaphor for life. A great visual cue to know when to add more water. Now you have no one but yourself to blame if you can’t keep that precious rose alive longer than 2 days.

A Phone That Really Hangs Up

A Phone That Really Hangs Up

This cordless hanger phone enables new ways and new spaces to place your phone when not in use. “Hanging up” your phone takes on a whole new meaning as phone calls are ended by simply the hanging action. Letting it stand on a table also turns it off. Comes with an induction charger and transmitter in the form of a hook. It looks a little uncomfortable to hold and I assume it’ll using some sort of motion sensing technology ala iPhone.

Go Ahead And Pick A Light
