Behind the Wall Sofa
As humans we like to be surrounded by walls so we can feel protected.But how about a wall that is also a sofa?Why spend more money on a sofa or even on chairs when all you need is this Wall Sofa that doesn`t take a lot of room.Imagine the surprise your friends will get when you decide to throw them into this 2 side “wall”.All the praise goes to the designer Jordi Canudas.
Bed Suspended on a Rope
Check out this interesting idea, or a bed suspended on a rope. Teak platforms suspended from heavy-gauge rope take center stage, while a punchy orange-striped fabric on the wall and Roman shade create a seamless backdrop. The visual effect of these suspended beds is just awesome, but I wouldn’t recommend a bed like this to someone who’s sleeping like a rabbit and wakes up at the slightest sound. - Via - Curbly
New Approach to Solar and Wind Power - Grow
SMIT (Sustainably Minded Interactive Technology) latest technological innovation, the GROW panel, trumps both conventional solar panels and wind turbines in harnessing natural energy. Combining the best of green tech and ecology, GROW draws inspiration from ivy growing on the side of a building - resulting in a hybrid energy delivery device of flexible, ivy-like fluttering solar leaves that provide power via both sun and wind. Using a series of flexible solar cells as leaves, GROW takes the shape of ivy growing on a building- the leaves are solar cells while the wind that causes them to flutter is harvested as viable energy using a series of piezoelectric generators on the underside of each leaf. The GROW leaves are made from 100% recyclable polyethylene covered with thin film photovoltaic modules encapsulated in Tefzel.
The solar leaves need to be wired together in order to collect the energy they produce, but the system is extremely flexible allowing it to be installed on a building no matter what shape it is. It’s also extremely easy to maintain since replacing a single leaf when it fails doesn’t require you to take down the entire installation. - Via - Inhabitat
maku lounge chairtags: livingroom, outdoors
SUSTAINABLE TEAK generally makes for inviting, casual lounging, yet the Maku Lounge Chair’s outlined armrests and contemporary lines add a healthy dollop of sophistication. Designed for both indoor and outdoor aesthetics, the Lounge Chair (like all of Maku’s furniture) is targeted primarily at surfers, travelers, and other lifestyle enthusiasts. However, we believe that the audience for clean lines, quality construction and eco-conscious attitude goes far beyond this select group; this is handsome furniture we’d love to have in our own homes.

The Hall Satellite 2007
I loved this little and funny Bookshelf made by Perros.If you look at them you can see that these Book Shelfs are made from traditional materials with traditional techniques.They are very simple, but I like them because they make me laugh.
The Corner Tree
Imagined by Abhinav Dapke, the rack “The Cornet Tree” is a rather interesting concept which will enable you to astutely furnish the corner with a part. I’m sure that this interesting shelving system can add value to a corner, a place that is quite difficult to arrange.
“Outside the Box in Vancouver” by Patricia Gray

Patricia has worked with some notable personalities including John Travolta and Rob Feenie.
Brandt Aion, the Kitchen of the Future
When thinking how the future will be, I don’t include kitchen designs or kitchen utensils in the big picture, but now that I see the Brandt Aion, I think I should have. A result of Antoine Lebrun’s work, the multi functional kitchen designed for Fagor Brandt is intended for small places and should go along with the lines and curves of our homes in just 10 years.
From what I see, the appliance is going to be a green space in your flat by using plants to improve the quality of life, filtering water and air. Lift the upper part and there’s a cooking surface and a sink. Close it down and the system will start the dish washing process, using vegetable soap (which also provided by the plants).
I think the concept is great, but would you buy one right now if it would be available? - via CoolDesignIdeas
