Luján & Sicilia’s Zona Lights

Bordered by a clear acrylic frame and developed from a polypropylene diffuser, Francisco Luján and Jaime Sicilia’s Zona Light pendant lights have an industrial feel that’s hard to find in colorful complementary light systems. Available in several sizes and several different colors, I love the way that these lights are a modern, progressive take on the shape of a lantern, or a creative a fusion of a spotlight and a table lamp. Either way, the acrylic frame allows for the Zona Light to both diffuse light evenly as well as glow on its own. The Zona Lights would be smart accompaniments to long or circuitous hallways, accent lights for low-lit patios, or mood lighting for a modern bedroom possibly. – you can actually purchase a Zona here

Modern Space Saving Mini Kitchen from Ensci

The Modern Space Saving Mini Kitchen from Ensci is great in places where the space is premium. The mini kitchen is quite an invention and will even let you enjoy keeping everything you need at your fingertips. The countertop is movable and slides pretty well to reveal the range, sink, storage, cupboards and even plenty of cabinets. Imagine, all this in just one kitchen unit. When you are not using it, the kitchen closes up, giving a minimalist, streamlined look and some much-needed organization to what is the most-used, most-chaotic room in the home.

Light Up Your Bedroom with an Alien Abduction Lamp that Steals Cows

Two years ago when I’ve first published about the Alien Abduction Lamp a lot of people loved this product, but unfortunately the lamp was in the concept stage. 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.

Softwall+Softblock: A Wall of LED Light

Developed by the studio Molo Design, the Softwall+Softblock modular LED wall system is a glowing feast for the eyes. The integrated LED lighting was designed to draw a specific focus on the texture of the fabric, which is very noticeable when the designers move and shift the size and direction as each wall moves through their interior space. Expand, contract or manipulate it, Molo’s Softwall+Softblock is an adaptable modular band of gentle LED light meant to serve both as a warm interior accent and keep energy costs low. This would be an amazing concept to use in a bedroom or entertainment room, as well as a smart partition for a large loft or industrially-designed area. – visit their site

Fort: Recycled Magnetic Acoustic Modular Partitions

Developed as high-performance acoustic partitions, designer Arihiro Miyake’s Fort partitions are extraordinarily modular in their conception. 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 design is so creative, it would actually be interesting to see these Miyake’s Fort 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 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.

The idea looks good, and practical especially that you can save some space in a very stylish and useful way …to bad that this is just a concept for now. – Via
