Ripple Interactive LED Coffee Table

by Stefan, posted in Interiors, on October 19th, 2009

We love gadgets and unusual things just because they are unusual and very few people have it or have even heard of it. That makes you special and unuque and this is a good feeling we all have been seeking for centuries. Just like this very special coffee table that is called Ripple Interactive LED Coffee Table , which is offering an illuminating effect when you place your stuff on or near it.

It is available from 1500$ depending on length. Anyway it is a little too expensive just for a coffee table, but it does have an unusual and fascinating visual effect.The lightshow effect,which looks cool will add a touch of glory to your living room. It may seem like an ordinary coffee table, but it has a lot of touch sensitive detectors and LEDs incorporated in its surface, so when you touch it with your hand or place something on it, it will immediately start glowing in the area where there is pressure on it.

When the object is removed the glowing stops, so it’s not an energy waste if nobody is around. Imagine the light show if you have a party with many people invited and you keep them in the dusk telling them to sit around this table: I bet your party will be unforgettable.

Street light floor lamp

by Stefan, posted in Lighting, on October 19th, 2009

If you were looking for an interesting lamp idea, here is the Monumental Untitled Concepts Collection Floor Lamp. Inspired from street light design its available for 2400$ and looks absolutely amazing. That does not necessarily means it looks great, but it does have a different design than what we are used to seeing when it comes to floor lamps.

We know that street lights stay in the street and we do recognize the special design but it’s simply unusual to see it inside our homes. Any way, I don’t know for sure if the designer really took a street lamp and turned it into a floor lamp or if he only got inspiration from them, but this unusual floor lamp looks a bit over sized and unusual. It is made of metal and has a very powerful light bulb, so it can be very effective, but I am afraid it is a bit too robust to my taste. However, it seems that there are enough people who like it and bought it since the price is a bit high and there’s still demand for it.

Murakami chair by Rochus Jacob

by Stefan, posted in Sofa and Chair, on October 19th, 2009

I really want to start this day with Murakami chair by Rochus Jacob.Why? Because it is a unique chair design featuring an advanced nano-dynamo technology built in to the skids of the chair and the newly developed OLED generation with a reading lamp above.The Murakami chair contributes to saving the planet Earth.

It is an eco piece of furniture and you will find it very interesting to find out that you can actually generate energy by simply rocking your chair in the living room. I know it sounds incredible, but think about the little squirrels you saw in the old cartoons that used to run inside a wheel and this way they made energy that was used to light a bulb. Well, the principle is pretty much the same. But this time we are the busy squirrels and we can spend quality time enjoyinmg our reading a book and lighting the nice lamp above the head at the same time. No energy spent, so money spent. Just saved.

Colman Triplex by Workshop for Architecture

by Stefan, posted in Architecture, on October 16th, 2009

This is a 3750 sq.ft owner occupied three unit apartment located in Seattle, Washington which was completed in 2009. This is built on an incredible design considering the economy of space, individual dwelling program, and access to landscape. The organizations of the dwellings are free to rotate or flip according to their individual requirements. For the interior bearing, an internal structural steel frame is used. These apartments are supported by non load bearing walls.

The concepts of the apertures are derived from both the criterions of activity and environment. These apertures or porches can be used to control sunlight or rain all depending on your wish. A broad horizontal array of windows connects the upper dwelling’s main living space to the sky or the other distant views.

In the Master Bedroom, a private interior light well allows daylight to reflect here. Entry porches connect the adjacent park to the open living spaces. There is also a horizontal 1×4 exterior cladding rain-screen which protects this apartment from turbulent rains. In overall, this is a great place to stay and a great place to be.
