Boey is a computer animator and he draws on foam cups, each can take from hours to months to complete, covering a wide range of styles. It is a demanding medium to master. It’s curved. It smudges. You can’t redo mistakes. And every drawing must re-connect to its start.

« The basic body of the Longgrill, a formally well-balanced fire-resistant vessel made of 4-mm sheet steel, rests on three unfinished basalt stones. The Longgrill offers different kinds of fire use: it can visually take centre stage in a given space and be used for heating, or be used for barbecuing with the help of a sliding top frame. At the same time as the barbecue is grilled on the embers, the Longgrill keeps a perfect fire and thus continues to produce additional embers for the barbecuing; the heat can be adjusted by easily sliding the top frame sideways. »

Flower Lamp builds on an increasingly prevalent technology –remote energy metering– to visualise electricity used in the household as a whole. With a decrease in household electrical use, the Flower Lamp slowly opens up and appears to ‘bloom’. If energy consumption increases, the lamp closes into a more contracted form, which also affects the quality of light emitted.
Project team: Sofia Lagerkvist, Charlotte von der Lancken, Anna Lindgren, Katja Sävström, Göran Nordahl.
The Power Aware Cord visualises the energy of the current use of electricity of the appliances connected with it through glowing pulses, flow, and intensity of light. It may be used as a ‘tool’ to rediscover energy at home as well as an ambient ‘display’ to see energy consumption at a glance.
Project team: Anton Gustafsson, Magnus Gyllenswärd, Sara Ilstedt Hjelm, Christina Öhman. In collaboration with ThinLight AB.
Energy Aware Clock is an electricity meter that resembles an ordinary kitchen clock, which visualises the daily energy rhythms of the household and shows electrical utilisation of its environment in real time.
Project team: Loove Broms, Karin Ehrnberger, Sara Ilstedt Hjelm, Erika Lundell, Jin Moen
Designed by Victor Carrasco for Boffi this washbasin is available in a suspended ans floor mounted version.
London architect Julian Hakes has designed a pair of shoes with no foot plate.
Called Mojito, the design consists of a single piece that wraps around the wearer’s foot, forming support for the heel and ball. The foot naturally forms a bridge between the two. The product is made of carbon fibre, laminated with rubber on the side that touches the floor and leather on the side next to the skin.
