Topoanalysis is a site-specific installation that reimagines the window, transforming it from a transparent portal to a luminous paper canvas. Designed by artist Ann Tarantino, Topoanalysis consists of laser cut paper with intricate patterns that conjure the visual languages of the natural sciences, aerial maps, and underground networks. According to […]

Panelite Bonded Series translucent honeycomb panels exhibit directional transparency, offering dynamic views while transmitting up to 65 percent daylight to interior spaces. The honeycomb structure amplifies daylight because light bounces within the honeycomb cells. Some daylight is transmitted directly, but most is diffused, reducing the energy required for artificial lighting, […]

The mimicry of natural substances need not be limited to biological subjects. Arctic Ice, a glass panel created by Nathan Allan Glass Studios, seeks to emulate a particular state of water in a mineral material. Arctic Ice appears convincingly like ice at its melting point, with reflective wet rivulets emerging […]

Peter Trimble’s Dupe is a micro scaled, mobile manufacturing plant that synthesizes sandstone objects out of sand, urine, and bacteria. Building blocks, furniture, sculpture, and other objects may be created by pouring a urine and bacteria mixture into a sand mold. Over time, the mixture calcifies, becoming a durable sandstone. […]

One method of achieving material innovation is to manipulate a known material in a new way, creating an unexpected outcome. Such an approach typically requires extensive material experimentation and technical mastery of unorthodox processes. The Lightweight Porcelain collection of stools exemplifies this approach. Created by Dutch designer Djim Berger, the […]
Mystile is a contemporary artistic wall and floor surface with tactile appeal. The tiles are handmade from specially formulated fiber-reinforced concrete. Fabricated by London-based Kaza Concrete Ltd. in a manufacturing facility in Szentendre, Hungary, the tiles are offered in both designer-created collections as well as customizable shapes and patterns. Mystile […]
The Ball Wall is an interactive light surface that allows visitors to map gestures by spinning an array of low-friction balls treated with the luminescent material and mounted in a wood and metal frame. Paul Bird, Conor Oberlander, and Kevin Remy, developed the interface at RISD as a facade application […]
The cardoon, also called the artichoke thistle, is an edible plant native to the western and central Mediterranean region, where it was domesticated in ancient times. It is adapted to dry climates and is among the most abundant natural resources to be found in Greece. Recent studies have shown that […]
Eden’s Paper is gift-wrapping paper that may be planted to grow vegetables after its first use. It is made from 100% recycled paper, and the seeds are embedded on the back of the wrapping paper in seven layers of biodegradable tissue. Each sheet of the paper is printed with colorful […]
StoCoat X-black is a 100 percent acrylic exterior wall coating system that reflects the sun’s near-infrared light energy and lowers surface temperatures significantly compared to traditional paints of the same color. The energy saving coating works well even in medium and darker colors. SoCoat X-black also minimizes color fading, thus […]
