This fantastic design comes from Stefan Ulrich and is in fact an out-of-the-box idea on reducing the energy used by your household. The designer explains that a normal fridge consumes over 21% of the total energy in an apartment, which is an impressive figure. “Neff” comes with a new approach.



These small fridges can be connected to a power supply, get fully charged and the cool off your food for hours to come without consuming anymore energy. Also, if you happen to have small quantities of food or groceries, it is not necessary to power-up all the cooling cases, but just one or two. This would not be possible with a normal fridge. Portability is also a strong feature. You can just place the items anywhere you like, without worrying about occupying a lot of space. And just look at their amazing shape!

Amazing Water Recycling System in Your Own Shower


Recycling is a great concept with even greater effects. The fact that designers everywhere seem to grow an interest in the field is a wonderful thing. This revolutionary concept proves that with hard work and experience, amazing recycling products can become available worldwide. Jun Yasumoto, Vincent Vandenbrouk, Olivier Pigasse, and Alban Le Henry created this sustainable shower that can filter the water that you use while showering and make it drinkable again.
This is possible due to some special plants that “feed of” substances like those that exist in soap and shampoo. Here are some more words from the designers: “Using a natural filtering principle called phyto-purification, the bathroom becomes a mini-eco-system by recycling and regenerating the waste water. With this project, we tried to combine the pleasure of taking a shower with the satisfaction of recycling water. We wanted the recycling process to actually interact with the use of shower.”

Expanding TV Screen

You can now watch your favorite TV shows at the image quality you’ve always dreamed of. Adjust the unit for getting the proper dimensions. After that, all you have to do is sit back, relax, grab some popcorn and enjoy the show.


We all dream about that huge TV screen that would take over our room and give us the perfect cinema-like experience. But too bad that idea usually conflicts with the lack of space. Here’s an ingenious solution for this problem: the TV wall unit from Acerbis. Make your living room a home cinema by simply adding this flexible unit with a concealed projector screen inside.

Multi-functional Bathroom Accessories

Arc Basin Mixer & Mirror Storage by David Goss is an interesting idea that combines three functions into one simple, discreet unit. This multi-functional bathroom accessory that besides providing with water to help you wash your hands lets you store your stuff.
A wide (but controlled) plane of water emerges, momentarily extending the arc beyond its metallic form. The mirror pivots along one edge to reveal a concealed storage cabinet. Arc strikes a balance between form and function, highlighting both the preciousness and scarcity of this rich resource, and highlighting the elemental beauty inherent in cascading water. For now this idea is just a concept, but I have to admit that it looks pretty amazing don’t you think

'Smart Door' 3 Ways To Opened

You thought Star Treck was way ahead of our times? Apparently the movie had yet to inspire designers throughout the world. Sure, the idea of a door that opens only after it does a fingerprint check-up on you was crazy back then, but that does not mean that it makes it less real in the present. “Smart Door” comes from iHouse, a company that invests in creating high-tech housing products.
All you have to do is place your finger on the scanner to release the door’s lock, and you can program other fingers for operating the lights, activating the AC, lifting the window blinds and lots more. Not only this, your smart door lock is endowed with a cool feature of storing the data, date and time of the last 64 accesses, thereby giving you the information on who entered the residence during that period. There are three ways you can open this door. Remotely, by sending a command through your PC or advanced mobile phone, through a numeric password or by simply taping the scanner with your finger. All your family members can have access to opening the door, so more fingerprints can be registered. Futuristic and fun, this is guaranteed to keep the burglars away.

Remarkable Design : Save Energy with Solar Roof Tiles

Renewable energy and alternative sources of energy are some of the buzz words that we are hearing daily. The fact that the principles of sustainability are embraced by the design industry is remarkable. These solar roof tiles are an example of how some designs can be creative and environmental friendly at the same time. SRS Energy is the company that has taken design to another level. The tiles are completely embedded in the design, so it is basically impossible for your neighbors or anybody else for that matter to tell the difference.



We quote from the site of the manufacturers: “SRS Energy roofing tiles are designed to capture and convert sunlight into cost-saving electricity without compromising aesthetics. The tiles are offered as an integrated upgrade to a traditional roofing purchase. Added to the protection and curb appeal expected from a premium roofing system, homeowners are able to capitalize on solar electricity as sustainable value”.The roof with the embedded tiles can currently be purchased only in USA .

For the Design Lover Geek : Pottery Barn Smart Technology Daily System


They come with a digital frame with corkboard & cubby plus a 6-inch digital frame that copies photos, does videos and plays MP3s directly from a memory card, camera, laptop or PC. More to it, the Pottery Barn Smart Technology Daily System comes with an HDTV wall mounted system that adds a built-in 15″ screen, and features a charging station for you DAP and cell phones.
Talking about a good place to take good care of your gadgets and gizmos, how about the Smart Technology line? Other than appealing to our geek side, it somehow managed to catch people’s attention with its innovative combination of both creativity and functionality, as well as conventionality and high-end technology.


“Easy Click” Panels for Bathroom Furniture


The panels are as easy to install as they are to remove, almost no effort is involved. We quote from the site of the manufacturers: “Assembly is easy. First, the installer lines up the panels, which are then joined by turning the supplied hexagonal rod 90°. This is made simple thanks to the aid of the provided EasyClick open-ended spanner. Next, the panelling is fitted onto the tub via insertion of the EasyClick tool between the edge of the tub and the panels as well as an additional 90° turn of the rod”.
These fashionable and easy to install bathtubs come from Duravit, a company that produces bathroom furniture for more than two hundred years. With their experience, it is no wonder that these do-it-your-self bathtubs are so appreciated worldwide. The panels around the tub are elegant and sophisticated. Their exterior can be custom made so it could feet with your bathroom design. But being fashionable is not what these items are about. Above all, function is particularly relevant.



Attractive Light Box

Attractively crafted in wood by Dutch designer Jo Meesters the pattern of the Light Box resembles stylish low growing trees because of the 8,000 holes that have been carefully drilled and plugged with resin. Makes for an eye catching focal point that forms an artificial hedge or a nocturnal landscape within your home.
Some people don’t pay enough attention to their home interiors, especially when it comes to lamps or lighting — sometimes mainly because there aren’t enough good options to choose from. But that changes right when you see these gorgeous floor lamps that do great as a glowing room divider.
