Veteran designer Cristian Visentin’s latest Winelamp is a collection of lamps that resemble or, better yet, are inspired by the sleek and beautiful wine bottles. Based on a rather simple design concept, these lamps have their base cut and turned upside down on a classy white metal structure, which is a lighting component’s stand that is surrounded by an internal light.
The highlight of this splendid range is that the glass material is recycled after the original object is reused, making it an impeccable ‘green’ choice, quite literally as well.

Working in a kitchen typically requires a user to stand for a long period of time. This may pose a lot of trouble for those who are either handicapped or old. Marta Rudyk has designed the Transgenerational Kitchen for people who cannot bend much or stand for long.


The whole setup does not consume much space and will endow a user with the flexibility to alter the kitchen as per their comfort level. People with different kind of disabilities need things placed at a different height or level. The design consists of a metal pole onto which all the essential components that are a part of the kitchen are placed. The pole is fixed between the ceiling and the floor and all the pieces can spin easily around it. The height of each section can be adjusted further by moving them upwards and downwards, as each unit is fitted with a stepper motor. These features will subtract all the stretching and bending required inside the kitchen and will prove to be a boon for elderly and people with restricted mobility.


The unit is controlled with a remote and the whole setting can be altered in no time. After all the chores in the kitchen are done, stick the modules on the ceiling. This step will make sure that you are left with a lot of free space which will in turn make the area look clean. Carbon fiber has been used to craft the kitchen. This makes it lightweight and hard-wearing for maximum use. The whole structure is heat resistant and is available in various colors.


Transgenerational Kitchen is a step ahead to provide people suffering from disabilities a safe and comfortable environment. It can also be used by those who are perfectly healthy. With its attractive looks and irresistible features, Transgenerational Kitchen will make cooking time more fun.

Trash can is one reason that keeps our surroundings clean. But normally we throw all kinds of waste in one can; this poses a trouble while filtering different kinds of garbage. A team of nine members has designed Residuário para Eventos (Residuary Events), fit to be used at both homes and public places. The main aim was to make a product that will guide users on the environment and ecological level.


It is a collection of five modules, each used for a different purpose. It comes with a flexibility to use all the modules together or individually. When placed together, they act as a magazine for the plant. Each module has a nozzle that represents what kind of waste (plastic, metal, glass, paper and organic) should be thrown in it. There is a display on each that will guide the user what kind of waste can be discarded in that specific container. This will also aptly guide the user about the way materials are recycled.


The whole structure has been fashioned out from PET fabric. This is further caked with plastic strips of wood, which endows the user with a flexibility to completely remove the residuary body. This property poses no trouble while carrying it from one place to the other. The module consists of a base, a body and a specific nozzle. Each nozzle has a graphical portion that has been crafted using green stickers.


Easy transportation and waste removal makes the Residuary Events an instant hit. Moreover, the way a new compartment unfurls, where any kind of plant can be placed, when all the units are placed signals the green aspects it comes attached with.

Now is the time to go back into the lap of nature. Up till now, we were finding ways to develop natural resources as raw material for producing commodities to support our daily lifestyles. That effort of ours brought us numerous dependable alternatives handpicked from nature. But this time, nature’s influence is found in the design of stylish products too.

Designed with 56 thin scales put together by small screws undetectable from outside, the lamp brings you the feeling of decorating your room with hanging pine cones.

The semitransparent sheets of the lamp let the light come out in subtle quantity and give the illuminated corner a magical appearance.

Imagine life without a fridge! Storing food, so that it remains consumable, will become such a problem. But with living spaces getting smaller, keeping a refrigerator will eat up the space even further. Chinese designer Zhang Wei has designed a floating fridge named Up-in-the-air which will make sure that food remains fresh while saving space.

If we observe, the only place we exploit aptly is the floor while the ceiling remains untouched. The designer has explored the possibility of using it in an ingenious manner with Up-in-the-air. In China, hanging food by attaching it to the ceiling is a traditional food storing method. Taking inspiration from this long-established system, now we will be able to store food attached to the ceiling.

The fridge has been fashioned in the form of a cute looking container that can be charged wirelessly. The container has been injected with gas and cooling sheets. After filling the container with food, place it anywhere you feel like on the ceiling. It works like a floating balloon and remains there. The container comes attached with a central controller, which can easily detect the change in gravity. After the gravity is sensed, the correct amount of gas is released by the controller which helps in a suitable uplift.

Different containers are available to store different types of food items. One can easily come to know from how long the food has been stored with an indication wedged on it. Up-in-the-air will prove to be a boon in this intertwined world. It will save space and make sure whatever you store remains fresh.
