Industrial Design Student Work: A Brick-Based Personal Heater
This STEA project is by Industrial Design student Eliot Andrault, done as his Masters project at France's École nationale supérieure des arts visuels de La Cambre.
STEA was born from a simple yet essential question: how can we heat ourselves differently, without sacrificing comfort? In a context where heating accounts for nearly two tons of CO2 emissions per person per year in Belgium, rethinking warmth becomes both an intimate and political act.Rather than heating an entire volume of air, STEA focuses on the user, at the scale of the body. Inspired by the SlowHeat concept, this localized device...
Water Samples from Around the World Melt into Dima Rebus’ Dreamy Paintings
The act of painting is often seen as a solitary pursuit; we picture the artist alone in a studio, working through compositional puzzles and experimenting with materials of their own choosing. For Dima Rebus, the process is collaborative, although she may or may not know the other participants. In her large-scale works, the London-based artist adds new meaning to “watercolor” as she incorporates water samples collected from strangers around the globe.
In her series Floaters, Rebus processes these crowdsourced units by freezing them with watercolor pigments, which she then allows to melt across the substrate, creating abstract color fields. She then...

A Long-Lived, Attention-Drawing Public Garbage Can
This Buzz garbage can is by Spanish architect Pepe Zazurca. Originally designed for a sailing club, it borrows the form of a merchant ship's ventilation cowl.
Buzz reinterprets the urban litter bin with a distinctive identity and a subtle reference to the maritime world. Its wide cast-iron mouth, inspired by the ventilation cowls of merchant ships, defines its character while improving usability, with a coloured interior that [corresponds with Spanish colour-coded recycling initiatives].The contrast between the cylindrical steel body and the cast-iron funnel top gives robustness and presence in public space, while the inner bucket...Made to Measure collection by Herzog & de Meuron for UniFor

Nathan Martell's Extreme Bent Plywood Layup Chair
Becker Brakel is a German company that specializes in bent plywood and veneers for furniture. They hold a biennial Design Forum, where designers are invited to explore and experiment with molded wood forms. Brakel then prototypes the designs.
At last year's Brakel Design Forum, Canadian industrial designer Nathan Martell first conceived of this Layup Chair:
That's a form the Eameses could never have dreamt of, given the technology of their era. However, Martell actually got the design into production: The Layup is now manufactured by British design furniture brand Established & Sons (presumably using Brakel's technology).
Thousands of Strips of Silk Undulate in Kenny Nguyen’s ‘Deconstructed Paintings’
Silk has been crafted in Vietnam for centuries, where it’s treasured as a lightweight, luxurious fabric used in traditional garments and art. For Kenny Nguyen, who was born in Ben Tre Province and is currently based in Charlotte, North Carolina, the material provides the foundation for vibrant, large-scale wall works that combine elements of weaving and tapestries, garment production, painting, and sculpture.
Using thousands of hand-cut strips of silk, Nguyen draws on his background in fashion design, employing techniques such as pinning, weaving, sewing, and layering to create what he describes as “deconstructed paintings.” Each work is created around a kind...
