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!

Blue Solar Tiles Modern Roof House

This project is called Solé Power Tile, it is actually a reinvention of the solar panels as we know them and comes with an upgrade: great and modern look. There is also a high functional feature that comes with the system which is that if a tile is broken, the others will continue to work independently.
Solar panels are no longer a thing of the future, but are slowly starting to be accepted and used by the population worldwide. People begun to understand their utility and despite their high prices, the need for alternative energy sources that in time will prove worthy of the initial investment.

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.

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 .

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.

Wood Carving-Inspired Acoustic Walls


A great idea for a live/work space, I could see the Pentagon being a really great idea as both a design and sound-minimizing accent for children’s rooms and common rooms in the home, using their inherent design qualities to keep your home from being outrageously loud or chaotic.

Designed to reflect the style and texture of old Norwegian wood carvings, designers at StookeAustad and the wood manufacturer Bosvik developed the Pentagon wall system to lock in and reduce sound using felt and a condensed assortment of recycled materials. Geometric but casual, the Pentagon wall would serve as a great partition for a relaxed, inviting space that needed to be divided for work or play purposes.
