Luno container by Martin Jakobsen
October, 2 2013 • 10:00
Czech designer Martin Jakobsen created Luno, a glass container with a cork ball that serves as a lid. Inspired by the Ludo board game pieces, he used natural materials such as glass and cork to create minimalist lines and ergonomic shapes. "In this case, cork was definitely what I needed. It is a sufficiently soft material and very good combination together with glass" Images from Dezeen -
Folded concrete stool by Sam Jennings
September, 10 2013 • 10:00
By studying the movement and folds of fabric, Sam Jennings, contemporary furniture designer from Falmouth University, created a stool that does not follow the standard rules of design. With the use of a special material called Concrete Canvas TM, Sam moulded the legs of the stool into a soft drape mimicking the shape of unfolded fabric. The wooden seat sits perfectly on the apparently soft folds, connected via a loop in the wood. Concrete Canvas TM is a material usually used in the civil and construction sectors to rapidly build shelters. It is a flexible cement impregnated fabric that becomes hard when wet to form a thin, waterproof and fireproof durable concrete layer. Concrete Canvas Building Cladding.

The Fabulous Frozen Factory by Jakob Gomez
August, 13 2013 • 10:00
With the summer upon us we all would like to eat a lovely ice cream, but would you be tempted to try a cryogenic one? Mexican interior designer Jakob Gomez was inspired by this new ice cream preparation experience to design the Fabulous Frozen Factory in San Pedro Garza Garcia, Mexico. The renovated warehouse is a space where the customer can see exactly how the cryogenic ice cream is created thanks to the large-scale machine placed in the middle of the room. “The machine design was based mainly on the operation and reading service, making reference to games of Mexican fairs and also element materials of ice cream prepared through nitrogen.” With colourful Kitchen Aid appliances and stainless steel fittings, the look is that of an industrial warehouse, while the LED lighting re-creates the typical local carnival vibe.

Beach Library by Matali Crasset
July, 26 2013 • 10:00
One of the best things about a beach holiday is the amount of time you have to relax and read a book in the sun. But what happens when you forget the book at home? Designer Matali Crasset has come up with a creative solution, the Mobile Beach Library. Currently situated in France, on the shores of La Romaniquette in D’Istres, the ‘bibliothèque de plage’ is a colourful and humble canopy that provides around 300 titles, including novels that the designer feels particularly close to. Made to fit in with the other local kiosks, the large canopy protects the books and visitors from the scorching sun, while the three surrounding tents provide a place where the readers can sit and relax in the shade.
