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. Designer Pavel Eekra has made pendant lamp using natural maple which looks like a pine cone; a simple, but effective inspiration from nature itself. 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.
Without the need of an internal supporting skeleton, the lamp attracts less gravitational pull too. The semitransparent sheets of the lamp let the light come out in subtle quantity and give the illuminated corner a magical appearance. The lamp is fit for any and every enclosure that aspires utility with elegance. But the most interesting feature that can make the lamp popular at one go is its handiness in packing and transporting. The 56 scales can be flat-packed without any hassles and reassembling is as easy as child’s play. So, taking it anywhere and hanging it to illuminate your life is just a matter of time now.

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.
