bridge Bridge Is A Cool New Outdoor Shower That Promises The Sun To You

Bridge is a very new and discreet shower hat has been structured in hot galvanized steel tubing, which makes it fit to be exposed to any kind of climate. Everyone’s fallen in love with it right from the moment it was launched. The sensual treat has a mass of water spraying from 3 shower heads; two of these are situated laterally to fully cover the body. The arch-shaped structure further facilitates that!

The shower when in production is treated with an effective shield against corrosion. Thus, a long-lasting protection is achieved with the least bit of maintenance. And the makers promise this little innovation in any possible color of your choice.

A water tap situated near the shower’s base. Again, there is the hot water regulator that lets you control the hot water and cold water combinations. The shower can be installed both in the sun and in the shade. And its biggest strength is that water is kept at a constant temperature without any regard for the outdoor temperature.

You will especially notice the rear at the stern that has been influenced by contemporary glass structures capturing a play on inside/outside space.

Breathing Partition Cleans Up The Tension In Office Cubicles

breathing-cubicle-partition Breathing Partition Cleans Up The Tension In Office Cubicles

Crowded office spaces with small cubicles for every employer just cannot be avoided what with shortages in space. In fact, they are only going to increase with the high number of budget cuts that companies are making. Some may say that this close working   distance helps build closer relationships amongst employers, but not everyone would agree.

One thing that is quite annoying about the absence of full cubicles are the partitions that immediately spring up to offer individuals something resembling a private space. For the most part, these are annoying and sometimes they even tend to make you feel more claustrophobic than anything else because the feeling of sharing space with another is even higher. The Breathing Partition design will make you breathe a sigh of relief with its ultimate sleek design.

Designed by Jinsun Park and Seonkeun Park, the Breathing Partition intends to bring natures closer to the individuals in the workplace so as to offer a healthier and calmer work atmosphere. The partition has some lovely green growth (that’s plants, not algae) and also comes with a grassy patch for your feet to languor on.

X-Ray Umbrella Is What Patrick Dempsey Should Carry On A Rainy Day On Grey’s Anatomy!

xray umbrella

First it rained cats and dogs, then came the extremely hot men and now it’s raining broken bones?! Re-using and recycling is a mantra for a lot of people but when designers get to making things with waste objects the finished product is more than just green, they are wicked!

ReadyMade magazine gave its readers the task of making every day products out of discarded objects that wouldn’t usually be reused. They probably never expected Anastacia Spada to get creative with something as mundane as x-rays. the X-Ray Umbrella has been made with, what else, a slew of x-rays all showing off eery ghostly pictures of bones. Anastacia insists that with the maount of money we spend on x-rays over the year, it makes sense to flaunt them someone instead of just having your doctor look through them.

Since the magasine also insisted that instructions on how to make the object be submitted along with the graphics, you can follow Anastacia’s instructions to make one of your own. This would definitely appeal to all the goth individuals out there, or anyone who loves to flaunt their inner body!

Self-Sustaining Biosphere Home Farming Concept: Nature In Harmony

biosphere home farming

The sustenance of the environment is in the hands of those who dream big and dream brazenly to create devices that can take the place of energy consuming products. These eco friendly individuals hope that eco gadgets would be not just the demand but the norm of the future.

A self-sufficient home environment is a concept that designers have flirted with for quite some time. The Biosphere Home Farming concept by Philips involves a home farm that involves several ecosystems existing in harmony. The biosphere includes various plants stacked atop of a container of algae which in turn sits atop a fish tank. The lowest container collects the organic waste.

The interconnected system survives through the waste products left out by the inhabitants of one container which are then used by the inhabitants of another container to survive. Water from the fish tank feeds the plants which release oxygen into the water; waste products of the fish collect as manure for the plants and methane and CO2 released by plants power the whole system so there is no need for electricity. Setting this up anywhere where it can get some sunlight will start the process.

Check out a video of the biosphere in action (scroll till the 8th minute if you’re bored!)

The iMT800 And MX6021 Speaker Sets From Altec Lansing Will Haunt You Till you Buy One

500x_MX6021_3QTR_LEFT The iMT800 And MX6021 Speaker Sets From Altec Lansing Will Haunt You Till you Buy One

Music is the life juice of all that we do and some type of music has to be played on sound systems as awesome as the songs themselves. That’s why Altec Lansing has come out with two new sounds systems: the iMT800 and the MX6021.

The MX6021 is an old style speaker set that is simple yet chic, appearing almost to have a style of its own. Apparently, this beauty has been made from motorcycle parts and this would no doubt appeal to the biker souls who can hear rock and grunge music puring out of the set the moment they lay their eyes on it. The iMT800 takes its name from the fact that this has an iPod dock with a device stabilizer. The set has five inbuilt speakers, digital FM radio and remote.

Though both are beautiful, each sound system is made to appeal to different sets of people. The MX6021 is available at $150 and the iMT800 will cost you at double the price ($300). What a heavy price we have to pay for our love of music!

leaf Minimalistic Leaf Phone Is Eco-Friendly And Makes Up For Missing Jewelry!

Technology may once have been called the greatest enemy to ecology but that is no longer how it is viewed as today. Now we have hi tech gadgets that only reinforce our belief that technology and nature go hand in hand. The abundant presence of green gadgets is proof of this new view.

The Leaf is a cool phone that is simplistic and would garner the interest of those who adhere to a lifestyle of minimalism. The flexible cell phone can be worn as a bracelet around your wrist, which makes it part-jewellery, but what makes this simple gadget so interesting is its green feature. The phone has a panel of solar cells on its back which create enough energy to keep the phone running. Just wear the breacelet phone and walk out into the sun to charge your phone.

Apart from being powered by solar energy, the phone can also be recharged in the traditional manner with electricity. Designed by Seungkyun Woo and Junyi Heo, the fact that the phone can only be used for calls and messaging underlines it statement of minimalism.

District Carbon Bikes From Trek Are All About Style

 district carbon

Riding bicycles at one time meant all about being prepared to fix your bike chains because they have the property of always kicking out from place. Fixing them can also take some time and leaves you with grease on your hands (which is a decidedly unbecoming look for a date).

Bike chains may soon become a thing of the past, what with belt drives trying hard to take their place. Although they’ve only been around for just a few years, belt drives have gained the respect and admiration of bikers since they are more durable and sustainable than bike chains over time. The District Carbon Bike from Trek uses the belt drive to advantage. Since the belt drive is not supposed to stretch and break over time, the bike is slightly more economical.

The stylish bike is Trek’s third bike with a belt drive after the District and Soho which came out last year. This bike features an OCLV Carbon Fibre frame for a more lightweight design; plus, it looks really stylish. Then again, $3,360 seems like a helluva lot to pay for a bike, even one as cool as this.
