Slovenian designer Tilen Sepic, came up with a an interesting flashlight that seems to been taken straight out of the sci-fi movies.

The idea behind this concept is to produce a light without shadows being reflected in the object. The flashlight will be worn like a glove around the wrist and the light is emitted through LEDs. The light is transferred through optical fibers to the specified pointed location.

Israeli designer Itay Ohaly came up with an interesting idea: Papa Chair which is a chair for son/daughter and father and “encourages interaction between parent and child”. Of course you can always use the little chair put your tea or coffee.

Maybe a bigger version with two little chairs will be more interesting. Too bad that the chair doesn’t look made from high quality materials. Looks like and ordinary chair…

Gollifer Langston Architects is an architectural studio for commercial, education, arts, media, residential and public design.

The Classrooms of the Future project was born from the idea to create a prototype that will be easily fitted out with advanced ICT ( information and communication technology ) and to be installed rapidly, safely and cheaply.

This advanced learning environment could be suitable to be used by schools as a mobile classroom that can be moved anywhere.

What would you think for a math course near the beach or maybe in a nice forest on the mountains. The possibilities are endless.

The mobile home concept by Tom Kundig is named Rolling Huts and is several steps above camping but remains low-tech and low-impact on the environment.
Each house is constructed from a 200 square-foot steel clad box that sits on a steel and wood platform that extends the structure with 240 square feet of covered deck space.

You can enter the hut through a double-paned sliding glass door. The interiors are outfitted in cork and plywood and the exterior of the huts are finished with materials such as steel and plywood.

The huts are grouped as a herd: while each is sited towards the mountains their proximity unites them.

This homes can be used in sensitive areas that don’t allow permanent homes, that’s why the huts are raised a short distance off the ground. Also thy have wheels to be moved.

I really like this idea of mobile home that can be moved from place to place in order to have different views of the landscape.

This is one of the coolest lamps I have ever seen. Designed by Iliara Marelli, made from aluminum and lit by 4 bright white 1-watt LEDs, its articulating body folds to form an accent light when you’re not using it for illumination.

When you close it , measures just 2.75″ tall but when you open it up, it can reach almost 22″ in height.

The “problem” is that the lamp is a bit expensive at the price of $595 USD but if you want a cool and very elegant lamp you have to make this effort.
