Australian architect Matt Gibson has designed a shop interior for the fashion retailer Fame Agenda, located in the Docklands of Melbourne, Australia.

Involving concepts of ‘transparency and illusion’ and bringing customers minds in-between interior and exterior this store plays on the perspective of the ‘arcade’. A random and organic set of arches inspired by Thomas Heatherwick’s sculptural works merge to form a cave like enclosure from within the confines of the rectilinear shell. Providing intimacy and protection from the elevated & wind blown Docklands promenade the organic arches intend to shift the visitor inwards toward the end of the awkward ‘L ‘shaped plan & at the same time provide merchandising benches, walls and ceiling. The arches partially cover existing structural piers & terminate with mirrored cladding behind the sales counter seemingly extending the space and encouraging a play on perspective.

Unforgetablet by designer An Sang Hyun, is another functional gadget that utilizes bar codes that is used on almost all the food people buy from supermarket and warns consumers about their expiry date by storing all their information before placing them in the refrigerator. All the food and beverages are registered along with the expiry date in the device before they are kept into the refrigerator; even users can set expiry dates for certain foods if they want. The device remains fixed on the refrigerator, showing necessary information on its black, glossy screen, and alarms whenever a food reaches to its expiry date.

The new showroom Davide Groppi in Barcelona is now open in the heart of Born. This is an exhibition space designed by the creative and multidisciplinary hop! design studio. The area is signed by the Italian interior designer Paolo Tosi, who shared, from a long time, friendship and feeling with Davide Groppi and its projects.

This is the first exhibition and single brand sale space of Davide Groppi in Spain, is an innovative concept in many aspects: not only is a place for exhibition and sales, but above all a space for projecting where designers and creatives can offer and share their experiences, united by the taste and the search for minimal and essential light.

Within this space, are located, in fact, other activities related to the design world, from fashion to photography through architecture. 200 square meters where white and black alternate in a game of full and empty; frameless windows and white divisions at different heights, in contrast to the walls with the texture of marble and iron, mark the working areas of the other activities developed into the area.

The showroom is aimed at both designers, architects, professionals and the general public. A space oriented to understand light, performed in its many applications and nuances of purity and functionality.

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.
