Stacking Throne


Amsterdam designer Laurens van Wieringen presented this piled-up child’s chair at Ventura Lambrate this week. The idea was to use the same chair from toddler to adult years. The foam seats stack on top  of each other marking different stages of one’s life. The older you are the less seats you need. The seat can also be a fun stacking games for kids & adults.

R2B2: Electricity is not the answer!


German designer  Christoph Thetard has created, during his studies at the  Bauhaus University Weimar, an electricity free kitchen machine. He called it R2B2. The R2B2 came to life as a result of an eco-friendly project. There are three different kitchen appliances in the R2B2: Coffee grinder, hand blender, & food processor. All are powered by rotating a flywheel with muscular strength. Electricity is not necessary anymore.

The pedal powers the machine up to 400 rpm which produces 350 W energy per 1 minute. The machine even has a storage cabinet for the different items. You can now exercise while cooking and not just that! You are going to cut down on the electricity bill and make a step in saving the environment.

Zaha+Swarovski


Does the design ring a bell?

Yes those flowing fluid-like forms are yet another creation by Zaha Hadid. Zaha in collaboration with Swarovski used her 3D and Cad skills but this time to create Jewelry, not buildings. The designs resemble most of her architectural projects however the only difference is that you can wear them. They might not look attractive and appealing, however when wearing them, you get to say: ” i am wearing a Zaha Hadid design”.
