Designers Jörg Boner and Christian Deuber have created the Nan18 floor lamp for the Switzerland based manufacturer Nanoo.

The lamp comprise individual tin slats, arranged circularly to create a conic lampshade. The emergent light is soft and atmospheric. It falls as direct light through an opaque sheet of acrylic glass. Indirect light rises towards the ceiling. The lampshade stands on a stainless steel tube, which is also white. A concrete socle, either in white or naturally coloured concrete, creates the base for the standard lamp.

Seed is a household centrifugal pump concept by designer Aleksander Mukomelov that can effectively water the orchards, gardens and lawns by taking water from lakes, rivers, ponds as well as from water storage reservoirs, wells and chinks in order to reduce the constant human attendance and controlling the watering procedure.

The main objective of Seed is to solve the everyday problems associated with watering and providing ultimate freedom to the owner by featuring a full function remote control on the panel that can adjust different parameters of the pump such as turning on and off, shutdown countdown, setting up the amount of flowed water, schedule how many times and when it should start working automatically, and many more. The recycled plastic made case has not only given it an organic look, but also includes electronic control function to minimize the use of electricity, and in other terms water too.

Foster + Partners with car company Aston Martin, recently won first prize in the ‘transport for London’ competition, whose brief was to design a new bus for the city. The two iconic British brands collaborated to design a public transport vehicle that would be environmentally sensitive and accessible, while reinventing the much-loved symbol of the red double-decker buses for modern day London.

The new bus is designed to navigate London’s dense and varied streets, and employs innovative technologies to allow for greater manoeuvrability and energy conservation. Other technology also includes CCTV screens and radio communication on board the bus, inside the driver’s cabin to optimize safety. The interior of the bus is meant to feel much like that of a living room, with lighting and wooden floors, as well as leather upholstery to give a sense of warmth and comfort when traveling through the bustling city.
