Decorating White Spaces

In these days most people think that a house with white color will look boring, but if you want to add a beautiful, clean, fresh and airy feel to your interior design, why not consider interior design ideas in white. The key to using white successfully in your interior design scheme, is to add interest in ways other than color. The overall effect you can get will depend very much upon the styles of furniture, fabrics, furnishings, floorings and accessories, which you choose. Now let’s take a look at how these white spaces were totally changed by adding a delicate touch of color.

The interior design color you choose for your room will influence the effect the room has on people. By understanding how this works, you can then deliberately select the interior design color to get your desired effect. We wrote and article about Room Color and How it Affects your Mood some time ago. Today I’ve decided to take a look at decorating white spaces, by adding a delicate touch of color.

Electronic Ruler Combined New Modern and Old Style Design

Designed by Shay Shafranek and Oded Webman with the support of udk industrial design department, Berlin the “Electronic Ruler” is concept that measures the length of drawn lines no matter where on the ruler you start and stop drawing. It has a display showing you the length. According to the designer the ruler is to combine the value of traditional ruler with advantages of a digital interface.

It can also measure the distance between 2 points, add the value of different lines and change its scale. Taking a circuit board, he placed a set of LED digits under a thing strip of wood-like material and added a reset button and little touch-sensitive buttons on the side to detect where the pencil is. So how does it work? By pressing the button the digits illuminate and the ruler is ready to go. Passing a pencil along the edge of the ruler will make the numbers go up or down according to the length of the line. Pressing the button again will reset the value.

Split Stack Lamp Modern Design Neon

The Split Stack Lamp is a very interesting Modern Design Neon lamp design by Roger Borg. To understand the evolution of the Split Stack Lamp, it is best to look first at two earlier bodies of work- the open series, and the flat stacks ( all Roger Borg lamp works can be seen here ). The open series marked the first step in pushing neon away from a history of flatness, and shifting it into three-dimensions Modern Design Neon. These lamps traced the edges of three-dimensional shapes, but had no real solid form beyond the contours of their sides. They had open interiors, and only their edges were delineated. The flat stacks moved further towards addressing a solid three-dimensional shape. By placing individual hand bent neon components atop each other, a larger form emerged, growing from the individual layers. Their contours were determined by the edges and perimeter of each individual cross section. Taken together, the aggregate shape of these layers established the profile of the object as a whole.

In relation, the split stack lamp in particular Modern Design Neon, and the radial stacks in general, are a synthesis of these two antecedents. At its center resides a dense central core of six vertical tubes which towards the bottom, stretch outward and away from this cluster, trading density for openness. The split stack’s name derives from its split personality, vacillating between the flatness of its arms, and the three dimensionality of its cylindrical core. Additionally, it is a reference to its form, which traces the separation of a single line into two, and then the subsequent cleaving of those branches.What these lamps share, the open series, the flat stacks, and the radial stacks, is a challenge to a defining aspect of tradition lamps. Where as their illumination is reliant upon an interior light source concealed and diffused through an exterior, these lamps instead generate light directly from their entire exterior surface. The light is produced and emanates from this external shell; it does not hide behind, rather it stands out in front. The need for an interior bulb is rendered moot. The bulb is now the shape, the shape is now the light.

Ventilation and Heat Recovery System

A bunch of people have been working on a project called Artica, which is a natural cooling, ventilation and heat recovery system. The beauty of the design is that it not only looks and works well, but it also boasts of using less than 10% of the energy of a conventional air conditioning system. Its ratio of thermal to electrical energy rating or COP is 32 making it ten times niftier than the gas chamber of AC you have on your window. Using Artica will reduce your carbon footprint as CO2 emissions are cut by 90%.

A company has been set up to commercialize the technology, supported by Design London (a joint collaboration between Imperial College and The Royal College of Art) and funded through NESTA
Other “eco friendly” features in Atrica include the re-use of materials that are the bi-product of other industries, which would have landed up in landfills and exemption of toxic coolant gases that give out green house gases.
Artica, a project developed by a group of designers supported by Design London and funded through NESTA, is a natural cooling and ventilation system for interiors that incorporates creative design
The good deal about Artica is that it’s not just on paper, it’s been prototyped and tested with customer trials underway.
while remaining almost wholly sustainable. Recently prototyped with trails underway for mass production, Artica will use less than 10% of the energy your conventional HVAC system uses. Visually incorporative, the design quality of its sleek and modern frame is only enhanced by the fact that it was deliberately designed to utilize re-used bi-products from other industries. Needless to say, anything that saves the earth while retain a rigorous design standard is okay in my book.

Linked Hybrid Design : Best Tall Building Award 2009

The 220,000 square-meter Linked Hybrid complex Modern Design that won the 2009 award includes eight towers linked by a ring of eight sky bridges housing a variety of public functions. The complex is located adjacent to the former city perimeter of Beijing. To counter current urban development trends in China, the complex forms a new twenty-first century porous urban space, inviting and open to the public from every side. In addition to more than 750 apartments, the complex includes public, commercial, and recreational facilities as well as a hotel and school. With sitelines around, over, and through multifaceted spatial layers, this “city within a city” has as one of its central aims the concept of public space within an urban environment, and can support all the activities and programs for the daily lives of over 2500 inhabitants.

The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) has named Steven Holl Architects recently completed Modern Design the Linked Hybrid complex in Beijing the recipient of the “Best Tall Building” in Asia and Australia award for 2009.

Fort: Recycled Magnetic Acoustic Modular Partitions

Developed as high-performance acoustic partitions, designer Arihiro Miyake’s Fort partitions are extraordinarily modular in their conception modern design. Developed from recycled PET bottle fiber, each piece of the partition is held together with high-powered magnets strong enough to hold it together indefinitely.

More importantly, the magnets allow for the structures to be very easily modified to suit the needs of the space. Because this modern design is so creative, it would actually be interesting to see these Miyake’s Fort modern design used in other applications aside from just a partition. For example, the edge of a couch, the legs of a inventive table or floating sculptural elements to hold up modern design creative lighting. This is why I love the basic components of modular designs: they can be shifted or adjusted to suit just about anyone’s creative needs.

Alien Abduction Lamp is something new, unique and original for the lamp industry, a really good alternative to the old boring lamps. Here’s how it works. There’s a light bulb inside the supremely awesome metal UFO on top, which illuminates the windows and the mysterious aliens inside. Because of the way the lamp is built, the light also illuminates the glass beam, creating that delightful X-Files effect.For those of you who wanted this lamp so bad the designer Lasse Klein announced that the lamp is finally almost ready for production.

“The way from concept to prototype has gone very well, without having to compromise on any important details. The few changes that have been made from the renderings to the final products have been by will and by listening to your feedback in my little survey rather than by necessity. The most noticeable change is the removal of the ornaments and pattern to arrive at a more timeless and clean result. You probably also noticed that it has taken quite a while, but seeng the beautiful result, I think it has been worth the extra time.” There’s no release date or price yet, but you can sign up to have the opportunity to purchase one of the first 2000 Abduction Lamps in a special limited edition run at AbductionLamp.com.
