sebastian schönheit: märz

side view, photography: das schmott


for the office and living space, sebastian schönheit developed märz wallwasher and uplight. this simple and functional led light organizes space in its own and most unconventional way. the passive aluminum cooling system meets the precise requirements of the led technology. the clasp, which connects to the head of the lamp is both a clamp and an axle. by means of this clasp the head of the lamp can be extremely easily moved but nevertheless remain exactly in the desired position. the electronic ballast and the dali dimmer are built into the aluminium base. the on/off function and regulation of light intensity is through a dimmer switch located on the shaft to. the telescopic pole has an adjustable height of 1600 to 2100 mm.

shiro studio: marble lunar crater trays

'mare tranquillitatis' by shiro studio

lunar craters are almost two billion years old, and today, we can observe them unchanged since their formation. 
these craters show the physical impact over an undisturbed terrain by revealing the presence of concave depressions, 
left by the collision of an object against the silent lunar surface. london-based shiro studio has developed a series of marble trays, 
'mare tranquilitatis', conceived by applying the lunar craters analogy, where every intersecting concavity is metaphorically carved 
by the mass and weight of the resting objects. the diversity of depths for each concavity generates different diameters, 
allowing a variety of different objects to comfortably rest on the tray. the fine ribbed texture reveals the industrial milling process 
and it has been deliberately left visible to declare its contemporary machined genesis. each individual tray measures 350 x 350 x 55 mm 
and is made of white carrara c marble, manufactured in italy.

austrian design firm valentin vodev studio presented 'vienna bike' at vienna design week 2011,
an electrically assisted tricycle that rides like a bicycle. after a single three hour charge,
the battery lasts for 60 km (37 miles) at speeds reaching 22 km/hr (13.5 miles/hr) with peddling.

with the extendable bar and custom cargo box, 40 kg (88 lbs) of goods can be carried thanks to
the load being distributed on the two back wheels. given the fact that the wheels
are only 35 cm (14 inches) apart, it can be parked in the same locations as any bicycle.
as it folds into a compact form, the bike itself is easily transportable.

inesa malafej: my writing desk

'my writing desk' by inesa malafej


lithuanian-born inesa malafej of etc.etc. has sent us images of her 'my writing desk' a workspace which has been designed
to reduce difficulties of working in a mess.

a storage trough is organized around three sides of the table top, where things may be placed off the main writing surface,
but still in sight and easily accessible. the desktop can be utilized right up to its edges without worrying that things may fall down,
and unnecessary objects can simply be pushed to the storage sides. the high edges of the desk isolates within the room in which it stands.
the wings are divided for simple construction, leaving a path for the wires. there are two drawers for a laptop and writing equipment.
the legs of the table can be twisted off for easier transportation.
