play shirts by elisabeth buecher and trine lindegaard

From Elisabeth Buecher, a series of three playful T-shirts by textile designer Buecher and menswear designer Trine Lindegaard. "The House, The Road, and The Town are bold and colourful prints. They come with little cars and people, which can be freely placed around the patterns in a playful way."
The Play Shirts are like game boards. Each T-shirt comes with a pack of little character and car pins as well as a mini-dinosaur pendant. Buecher and Lindegaard met while working at the same fabric shop in London five years ago. After completing their Masters at Central St Martins and the Royal College of Art, they decided to collaborate on a project which became the Play Shirts.

5.5 designers: matières à chaud

'matières à chaud' is a collection of 12 unique pieces which reinterpret an essential household object - the radiator. created by paris-based studio 5.5 designers for saazs, the series is an extension of the company's aim to reveal  through art and design, the perspectives offered by quantum glass™ active glass -
finding a practical way of encouraging a hi-tech product to communicate on an emotional level.
presented at milan design week 2011, these pieces should be considered more than just objects
which provide heat to the interior environment. 'matières à chaud' should be seen as a landscape
in which artificial materials create a certain ambient heat. a series of brackets, bases and spikes
formed to offer everyone the possibility to create a woody warmth or color

rochus jacob - rethinking the radiator

By moving the radiator deeper in to the living space the interaction becomes more present which enables the user to keep the heat consumption more often at a lower and constant level. The design refers to the analogy of a campfire which represents the social aspect and essential importance heating once had in our culture. Heat is a emotional value. The interface is not numeric instead you can either slide the heat up or down to find your personal state of warm. New insulation standards liberate the radiator from his position under the window. The system works with hot water or steam just like regular radiators and can be integrated in to every existing infrastructure. In the summer, the radiator can be stored elsewhere to allow more living space

ROPES is a new series of lamps launched this week at Colette, Paris. The idea behind the lamps was to combine LED-technology with a innovative soft look and textile appeal. Unlit, the lamps provide a graphic statement to their environment. Lit, they diffuse a gentle ambient light.

Each piece is unique, numbered and varies in size and technique. ROPES are handmade in France and Germany.

tube chair by elinonor ericsson

The TubeMe chair is about a tactile interaction with a chair. You are able to braid the naked chair with pillow tubes creating your own upholster with the different textiles. While actually sitting in the chair you can interact with it by using the tubes or just throw them around you and fall asleep being embraced.
