As the early alchemists sought to turn common lead into precious gold and silver, Lamin-Art’s catalyst material transforms common HPL into a versatile and durable decorative surface with a notable luster. The Catalyst collection features a hand-crafted, spiral-etched dimensional finish that re-creates the brilliance and texture of brushed metal. Unlike [...]
The Gage Planium stainless-steel floor system is a high-tech flooring solution designed for maximum durability and ease of installation. The installation of the patented system eliminates the need for adhesives, cements, or grout. First, a rubber underlayment is installed over any existing level floor. Planium tiles are then aligned to [...]
Solaris Glass is a wall-mounted “lightwork” inspired by the beauty of sunlight streaming through stained-glass windows. The result of a collaboration between Los Angeles-based Visopia and padLAb, Solaris Glass includes a backlight that projects changing colored illumination through a handmade, fused-glass panel. The lighting can be set to run through [...]
The Slinky Stool represents an exploration of the structural properties of knitted fabric. Designers Nicola Lagan and Tom Price developed a three-dimensional polypropylene yarn construction that expands and contracts freely, naturally suggesting the form and use of an adjustable stool with its cylindrical shape and vertical orientation and movement. Lagan’s [...]
The Cellscreen is a simple mathematical honeycomb panel crafted from crisp lightweight aluminum. It is a cellular filter structure which explores rhythm, repetition, and sequence. Intending to achieve visual density and decorative effect with a minimum of means, designers Korban Flaubert generated the cellscreen from the simplest geometry, using a [...]
The PLANKS are the result of collaboration between artist Henrik Menné and scientist Anna Vallgårda as an exploration into the aesthetic potential of computational composites. Comprised of wood boards and electronic circuitry on a supporting frame, PLANKS responds to local stimuli as an experiment in animating architectural enclosures. When the [...]
Geometric Structure Cushions are porous skeletal structures that can be flattened and return to their original form. Developed by London-based Lauren Moriarty using digital-fabrication techniques, each structure is designed virtually before it is laser cut and hand finished. The cushions are made from ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and are fabricated [...]
Wood.e is essentially electrified wood. Furniture made of Wood.e, with an electrical current of 12V, permits one to easily plug in different applications (plug and play). Wood.e is a built-up composite comprised by plywood and two integrated conducting layers. These layers allow for unprecedented possibilities for sound, light, and motion [...]
Meejin Yoon’s White Noise White Light is an interactive light-and-sound installation. The project consists of a field of fiber-optic strands and under-mounted electronics units that respond to the movement of pedestrians through the field by transmitting white light from white LEDs and white noise from speakers below a raised platform. [...]
Solar Ivy is a solar energy generation and delivery system inspired by ivy. Attached to a building façade, its “leaves” are flexible photovoltaic panels that flutter in the wind, creating a kinetic experience. Solar Ivy’s visual appeal and flexible hardware system bring a technology traditionally restricted to the roof to [...]
