Metal inflado.
Huff And Puff
The Puff series is an interesting take on furniture design, where metal and wood make a raw connection. Basically the design studio commissioned a series where metal was cut and welded together to form a deflated shape. The flat-packed furniture is assembled and inflated to realize its true form. The series consists of Puff Stool, Yayu Table and Dan Bench. All of them require a quick gust from your bicycle pump and are good to go!

Electricidad? Para qué?
R2B2
Pedal-powered all-in-one appliance can really get you cooking
by Paolo Ferrarini in Design on 13 April 2011
StudioMontag, an open association of product designers and students who met at Germany'sBauhaus-University Weimar, share an interest in transforming daily life into something incredible. A brilliant illustration of their creative thinking, the R2B2 looks like something Pee-Wee Herman would invent, but unlike the cinematic version it actually conserves energy while rapidly chopping, whipping, crumbling, spinning and more.
Designed by Christoph Thetard, the mechanical appliance hides a flywheel below a worktop, that when accelerated with a simple foot pedal can directly power a hand mixer, a blender and a coffee grinder. Smart transmission ratios and different gears enable more than 10,000 rotations per minute. Chopping herbs, grating cheese or mixing cocktails can be accomplished with a few pedal kicks only, in an unexpectedly silent way.
Still in prototype form, Thetard has started a Kickstarter crowd-funding process to bring his concept to reality. Find out more info at the R2B2 website.

Vehículo propulsado con destornillador eléctrico.

About this concept:
“Rennholz” is to be understood as a statement for e-mobility and has been developed for the “Akkuschrauberrennen” at the HAWK Hildesheim.The vehicle is driven by a standard Bosch cordless screwdriver and built out of bent wood. Therefore the concept opens up new perspectives on the use of sustainable materials for vehicle construction. Besides sustainability, wood brings some more benefits to vehicle construction. The natural flexibility of bent wood, for example, has a positive impact on driving comfort.The Vehicle concept developed by the design students Jirka Wolff, Andreas Patsiaouras and Marcel Heise, won the grand price of the jury and audience award at the “Akkuschrauberrennen” 2011.

Concentrar la energía del sol.

spherical glass solar energy generator by andre rawlemon
german born, barcelona-based architect andré broessel has sent us images of his latest development of a spherical glass
solar energy generator. the project uses the advantageous strategy of implementing a ball lens and specific geometrical
structure to improve energy efficiency by 35%. in contrast to its traditional photo-voltaic 'dual-axis' counterparts,
the device incorporates a fully rotational weatherproof natural optical tracking device that is adequate for functioning
on inclined surfaces and curtain walls, empowering any building surface. the new solar generating concept has
capabilities that concentrate diffused daylight or moonlight for a more effective site context application.

Priestman Goode unveils concept for air passengers with disabilities
With athletes flying in from around the world to take part in the London 2012 Paralympic Games, Priestman Goode has unveiled a concept to make it easier for passengers with disabilities to travels by aeroplane.
The Air Access Design is based around a detachable wheelchair by which passengers can be transported on and off the plane. This can then attach to a fixed-frame aisle seat to create a regular airline seat.
The design features 360º-pivoting wheels to allow the seat to slide sideways into the frame, and the two elements can be locked together throughout the flight.
Priestman Goode claims that around 20 per cent of the UK’s adult population are currently affected by some form of disability or mobility difficulty.
Priestman Goode founder Paul Priestman says, ‘At present there are some accessibility regulations on aircraft, however they cater only for the most basic requirements. As a result, passengers with special needs often face considerable difficulties when travelling by air.
‘It is a matter of equality that people with reduced mobility should have the same rights to a quality passenger experience that able-bodied people have.’
The designs have also been hailed by Jennifer Howitt Browning, assistant coach of the British women’s Paralympic wheelchair basketball team and a former Paralympian.
She says, ‘I travel by air frequently and at times it has been an ordeal. I applaud any initiative that tries to tackle this problem, and hope that Air Access will stimulate constructive discussions between airports, seat vendors and disability bodies.’
