Paul Webb DSGN Journal - Wat Hut via VisionDivision 01

This house exten­sion was made for the chil­dren of a Swedish/Thai cou­ple [the kids are mov­ing to Swe­den from Thai­land so empha­sis is espe­cially placed on them to make the move easier].

And just so you know, that is a car­pet of arti­fi­cial grass to con­nect seam­lessly with the outdoors.

In addi­tion, there are arti­fi­cial grass hills/couches that can be moved freely. It would have been awe­some to have this in my younger days.

Paul Webb DSGN Journal - Bunk Beds by PLUUNK 01

I wish I had this when I was 7 … this bunk bed allows for a coupe of dif­fer­ent con­fig­u­ra­tions, which is a plus if you tend to rearrange fur­ni­ture every now and then [like I do]. Ik promises easy assem­bly within minutes.

This new take on bunk beds is con­structed of high qual­ity hard­wood and ply, fin­ished with envi­ron­men­tally sound finishes.

The Copenhagen Wheel

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

The Copen­hagen Wheel trans­forms ordi­nary bicy­cles quickly into hybrid e-bikes that also func­tion as mobile sens­ing units. It allows you to cap­ture the energy dis­si­pated while cycling and brak­ing and save it for when you need a bit of a boost.

It also maps pol­lu­tion lev­els, traf­fic con­ges­tion, and road con­di­tions in real-time.

And ultra-cool con­cept that I hope catches on in cities every­where [a good decrease in emis­sions and such].
