Transparent House Team presents its vision of the classic flooring material concrete.
The design is a floor lamp for indoor use within a home environment. The main function is to emit light through various filters to control the proportion of light illuminated. The pattern of the filter was inspired by the idea of fractals of repetitious forms to create the light structure. It is environmentally sound as it is manufactured from white paper cardboard of various thicknesses.
Shade is a stretchy, 6x6 meters portable canopy that reshapes itself from within when the printed pattern is pushed from the inside. It unfolds out of a hand luggage bag and it could be installed anywhere to define a space and hide activities from the outside. The space inside radiates a white, comfortable and intimate atmosphere.
Wallfa is an intriguing two sided piece of furniture that is both wall and sofa. It offers a comfortable sitting area that becomes playful when users interact from both sides of the wall. Movement, sound and touch hint at what might be happening on the other side.
Nowadays, to save energy is one of the most pressing problem. This is already possible with the actual technology, such as low consumption led lights and solar panels; but actual products seem to be too far from people’s uses and overall they require not so much interaction to aware people about the problem.
Energy Bucket is an innovative product that comes from the habit of the past to collect potable water at the well using buckets. In fact, “Energy Bucket” requires to be exposed by the user under the solar light to recharge (thanks to the solar panels on top), so that it can be carried anywhere and illuminate once night (it works with 1KW led lights housed on the plastic bucket). A honest exchange between man and nature: I do something to have something back: clean light!
