Review of Milan 2012 – Part I: The high concept and the unexpected ... - 2012 - Events - Xymara™ 14.05.2012 | Events | By Le Vin Chin A jam-packed report from Milan's design week again this year. We'll have four parts, starting here with some of the more high-concept design work and the more pleasingly unexpected uses of materials. Upcoming articles will focus on the colors and the interesting materials and surfaces we saw; the evolution of shapes and forms in design; and, finally, the things that were just plain fun!

All aboard and sitting comfortably? Let's go ..! 1. Hellmut hydroponic table, from Andrea Caputo’s Unit #3 project, Ventura Lambrate. Andrea Caputo's works combined aquaculture, hydroponics and sleek design to present a vision of living for the future. The Sea Chair Project, by Alexander Groves, Kieren Jones and Azusa Murakami, at the RCA “Paradise” exhibit, Ventura Lambrate. A neat idea - in every sense of the word - these RCA students posit a new initiative for sustainability which also makes great socio-economic and marketing sense. 2.

Alive | Biophotovoltaic Moss Table. Carlos Peralta, Alex Driver, Paolo Bombelli The ‘Moss Table’ is a conceptual design intended to illustrate the potential of biophotovoltaic technology and how it might be applied in the future. Biophotovoltaic (BPV) devices generate renewable energy and other useful by-products from the photosynthesis process in living organisms such as algae and moss. The ‘Moss Table’ suggests a future in which hybrid natural/artificial objects are utilised in the home. Biophotovoltaic technology is at a very early stage of development. Moss can be used to power small electronic devices like a digital alarm clock, but cannot currently power the table’s integrated lamp. However scientists anticipate that with further research, applications like this may be feasible. Low-cost BPV devices may become competitive alternatives to conventional renewable technologies such as bio-fuels in the future.

Beyond Green Roofs: 15 Vertically Vegetated Buildings | WebEcoist - Waterfox. Vertical gardens bring lush, verdant life to even the coldest and barest of surfaces, both indoors and out. These ‘living walls’ are a big part of the future of green design and technology – they increase interior humidity, purify the air and provide a much-needed touch of nature in spare, angular urban spaces like airports, museums and shopping centers. From skyscraper farms to vertical parks, here are 15 green buildings with stunning vertical greenery, from 6-story elevator shafts to subterranean restaurants.

Unique Wall Decorations. Interiors on a budget: Gardens: make a moss wall hanging. How hard can it be to kill moss? This is one the sorts of indestructible sorts of plants that I need more of in my life (OK, I'm cheating - it's a special kind of preserved moss). I love this idea from the inspiring new book about house plants from Isabelle 'Balcony Gardener' Palmer. And any gardening project that involves gluing the plants in place sounds like my kind of project. The book also features a few outdoor projects and here's one: how to create your own moss wall hanging. Over to Isabelle... "This is a simple project to set up and uses a rectangular piece of hardboard. "Take some reindeer moss - I have used three different shades of green here. you could even spray paint some of the pieces of moss with different colours to create a more interesting scene.

Thanks Isabelle! The book is full of other unintimidating ideas for brightening up your home with plants. Anything But Stony: Lovely Living Moss Sculptures. Sculptures are typically seen as cold, hard, dead works of art. They may be beautiful, but the metal or stone they’re made of doesn’t lend a particularly lively feel to the pieces. These terraform sculptures from Robert Cannon are different; they combine the solid, permanent nature of stone with the soft and ever-changing nature of moss. Cannon’s living sculptures are full of life and movement thanks to the pieces of living moss he strategically places on the forms. The moss grows and changes while the stone stays as rigid and unmoving as always. The body of work is collectively called Terraform Sculptures. The artist’s B.A. from Yale with a focus in architecture has no doubt helped him to construct these fanciful forms and poetic sculptures. Cannon has even constructed a 40-foot-square playable chess set from stone and moss, making a truly amazing life-sized game.

Verde Profilo | Profile | Home furniture | Decorative lighting. A young entrepreneur with a new green philosophy The brand VERDE PROFILO was founded in 2008 by the will of Stefano Laprocina, a young agronomist, connoisseur and lover of nature, who decides to promote and share a new green philosophy for the exploration of the concept of all-round green.
