Industrial Design Student Work: A Multipurpose Disaster Relief Vest
Here's a timely project by Eva Steinz, an Industrial Design student at Austria's FH Joanneum University of Applied Sciences, Graz.
VitapackIn times of international conflicts and economic crises, more and more people are forced to leave their homes — they start a journey of escape in search of refuge. Unfortunately, thousands do not survive this journey each year. More than half of those who die drown, others fall victim to violence, accidents, exhaustion, illness, or harsh environmental conditions.Vitapack is an attempt to provide as many refugees as possible a safer journey — regardless of gender or age. This multifunctional life...Industrial Design Student Work: Gabriel Schroer's Low-Tech Height-Adjustable Bar/Café Table
This Nice to Meet You table is by Gabriel Schroer, an Industrial Design student at Germany's Burg Giebichenstein University of Art & Design Halle.
"The bar table is an often overlooked and underestimated piece of furniture and not only by designers. It tends to evoke associations with company parties, silver wedding anniversaries, and somewhat subdued atmospheres. Yet it has its merits: it is a piece of furniture that naturally facilitates encounters, defined by moments of coming and going."
"Nice to meet you takes this neglected typology and reinterprets it through a small...
Menssula sit-stand work tables by Actiu
Dezeen Showroom: office furniture brand Actiu has released a series of sit-stand desks and meeting tables that feature a cantilever design created with modularity in mind.
The Menssula work table range comprises desks and meeting tables that can be raised and lowered with the touch of a button. They deviate from other tables with the same functionality in their asymmetric silhouette.
Menssula's cantilever design differs from other sit-stand tables on the market"The collection's primary innovation is the offset placement of its electrical height-adjustable lift," said Actiu.
"By concentrating the mechanical components into a single lateral column, the design eliminates the traditional central or...
Piko Low-Tech Light Switch Add-Ons
In Taiwan, Panasonic's Deco Lite series of light switches are ubiquitous.
They're so ubiquitous that Taiwanese manufacturer Switch Papa finds them boring. They've thus designed this Piko line of switches that fit over the Deco Lite, switching them back to lever-style rather than rocker-style.
The installation method is low-tech, and sticker-based, no wiring required:
While the company initially came out with the plastic design you see above, they've announced they're expanding into wood:
The wooden switches will, they say, be on the market "shortly."

The surprise of turning onto a street to see a vibrant mural—or the joy of viewing several in progress during popular festivals like Nuart Aberdeen—is essentially an ephemeral experience. Murals may be designed to last several decades, or they may be temporary installations that address a particularly interesting bit of local history or urgent social issue, but either way, the experience is brief as we walk by. Always vulnerable to the elements and new development, these pieces don’t always last long. That’s where Art UK’s archive comes in.
As a digital platform, Art UK connects viewers to public collections around the...
Esteras Perrote nestles brick-clad painting studio in Argentinian woodland
Austere brick walls cloak a bright skylit painting studio at the heart of Atelier Cambre in Argentina, designed by local architecture practice Esteras Perrote.
The studio sits nestled within the mountainous, forested landscape of Còrboda's Punilla Valley, and was created for Argentinian artist Juan José Cambre.
Tasked with recreating the feeling of painting outdoors, Esteras Perrote organised the studio around a five-metre-high painting space, which is illuminated by long skylights and opens onto a terrace through a set of folding glass doors.
Esteras Perrote has completed an artist's studio in Argentina"One of the central gestures of the project emerged from a very simple request...
Когда кофе оно
Кофе — он, это все знают. Целый день он работал в мастерской, а Ремедиос носила ему туда чёрный кофе без сахара.
Но слово «кофе» иногда означает не сам напиток, а место, где его пьют — кофейню, кофе-бар. И тогда оно оно! Напротив библиотеки открылось новое уютное ко́фе.
Надеюсь, вы понимаете, о чём я.
Tricolour washbasin bowls by Laufen
Dezeen Showroom: Swiss brand Laufen has released a washbasin made characterful by its colourful inner bowl and the conjunction of matt and glossy finishes.

As well as distinctive colours, the basins combine a gloss finish on the...
