| A Table of Religiosity and Geometry Posted: 18 Feb 2011 08:41 AM PST Check out this polarizing coffee table called Crucifixion. The inspiration came from religion, aesthetics and geometry – complimenting each other to create this stainless steel and polycarbonate figure. It looks almost alien. Quite austere but in a way that makes you stare. The aerial shot is gorgeous. Great proportions. Designer: Fuquan Junzefor for Oil Monkey

| Sitting Next to People at the Airport Posted: 18 Feb 2011 08:36 AM PST 5% annual growth of global commercial air passenger traffic means more people in an airport terminal at one time. The AEROS project looks to improve seating efficiency by tackling personal space issues through the use of table and seating arrangements. Current tandem seating is ineffective. People tend to avoid sitting next to strangers. In some cases bags are put on top of seats intentionally to create a barrier. The layout proposes an alternating 1 : 2 seating arrangement with tables in between. You gain more seating capacity and provide more utilitarian space for passengers. Thin metal sheets with thin high density foam form the streamline feel to the chair. Neutrals are used in order to blend well with most airports while the plywood is used to bring warmth to these pedestrian spaces.

| Posted: 18 Feb 2011 08:28 AM PST The Aerius concept is a high performance electric vehicle for 2025. The concept is combines the performance of race cars with emerging sustainable energy sources and materials. It’s driven by Michelin Active in-wheel electric motors at the rear and on-board electric motors in the front for instantaneous acceleration and agile handling. The aerodynamic body to reduces energy consumption and solar panels re-charge the carbon nanotube super-capacitors to extend its range while emitting zero carbons. Time travel will cost extra. The form of the vehicle is heavily influenced by formula 1 race cars. The strong wheel arches hints at the four-wheel drive of the vehicle giving it a strongly planted road stance. The elegant clean glasshouse that runs the length of the vehicle represents the clean purity of the vehicle meaning zero emissions and the diffuser side blade links the whole aesthetic back to race cars.

It stands out from other meters by converting the consumed liters into actual cost! Now you’ll know your water bill in advance, sort of! Designer: Young-Suk Kim

| Posted: 18 Feb 2011 12:08 AM PST The Writable is a fun and interactive look at how we can spark up the conversation around the coffee table. Three flip panels at the centre house chalkboards on the underside with a chalk discreetly held in place. I love the way it changes the outlook of a simple structure to something more eloquent. Definitely a conversation starter! Designer: Tianyu Xiao

| Posted: 18 Feb 2011 12:06 AM PST The sight of ugly trash bins in scenic parks certainly mars the natural beauty. Bryant Park Litter Receptacles and Recycling Bins put an end to the eyesores and appear as inspirational pieces that urge us to be responsible citizens. The bins come in three variations, one for general trash, one for papers and one for cans and bottles. The linear detailing, colors and operational slits match the function of each bin. Details
Ignacio Ciocchini for the Bryant Park Corporation in New York designed this line of litter receptacles but the units are commercial products that are for sale to be used in other urban areas or parks. Other parks in New York, like Herald Square Park, Greeley Square Park and sections of Broadway Boulevard, are already using it and several parks in the United States are currently considering its use.
