Bag Stuck in a Tree: Pendant Light

Tags: Appliances, Bag Stuck in a Tree, ed vince, garbage, lamp, Pendant Light, plastic bag

You must have walked through your neighbourhood and seen this sort of thing a dozen times a week. Children playing would leave kites and footballs stuck high up in the branches of a tree, and it looks good because it tells you that the kids in the neighbourhood are an active lot. What is not very appealing is to see plastic bags stuck up in trees; garbage on the streets is more than enough.
However, Ed Vince has a more artistic vision of this occurrence. Vince saw a bag stuck in a tree and decided it would be a great design for a light. His Pendant Light, also called a Bag Stuck in a Tree, looks much like a bag stuck to the branches of a tree and with an ominous glow from within. Vince states that the sight of a plastic bag stuck to a tree and flying in the wind, glowing with the warm light of the sun is a mesmerising sight.

To make his lamp even more realistic, the stand is made from actual tree branches and the light of the lamp is kept diffused with a real plastic bag. Altering between different coloured bags would also give you the option of changing the look of your room.

Coox Cooking Table: Cook Anywhere

Tags: antoine lebrun, Appliances, Cooking Table, cooking top, Coox, elexctrolux, Kitchen

Restaurants where the Chef cooks right in front of the diners are in style because cooking is such an important part of the eating process. They say the person who cooks gets more out of the whole deal and gets much more satisfaction out of eating the delicacies. That is, of course, if the cook is apt at not burning the food. Cooking anywhere you want also seems to be becoming less of a luxury and more of a necessity, especially with people sharing house more and more often.

An Electrolux table, Coox, designed by Antoine Lebrun is designed in such a way that users can cook upon it and it can be used anywhere in the house. It can even become a part of your usual dinner table so that food can be cooked right in front of your guests for an intensive dining experience. The table includes a cutting board, set apart from the cooking top and appears to work via electricity.

The table can be wheeled anywhere and also has adjustable height for your comfort. It could even be used outdoors, during camping trips and backyard parties. The concept was designed with the theme ‘flexibility for diverse and complex generation’. If this goes into production, the sleek table would definitely become a big hit.

If you thought going green is all about boring and dull colors, think again. LG has unveiled its eco-chic line and has been commissioned by designer NellyRidi. It is no truer that an electronic appliance that is green and environmental friendly also has to be as tasteless as it sounds. Its kind of like how a meat lover would hate to eat veggies. However, if the meat lover were given vegetables smothered with something like a meat sauce, he would lap it all up.

The environment friendly 9kg Steam direct washing machine was unveiled at the Maison et Objet show in Paris. The coolest thing about this washing machine is that it looks like a giant disco ball. According to Caroline Kim, the brand’s vice president for marketing, explained their belief that going green doesn’t mean not being chic. According to her, one could be chic, use chic products and yet stay green. The converse stays true too. The disco looking washing is available in black, white and silver and costs 599 Pounds.
