Liquid to Light! Designer Ed Chew takes a green step in the right direction with the TetraBox lamp, a light object made from discarded drink packets that would have otherwise ended up in landfills already packed to the brim.
The design is achieved by unfolding the packets and refolding them into hexagonal and pentagonal sections that are then pieced together to form a geodesic sphere or any other desired shape. Here, the Epcot-like ball makes an attractive overhead light and casts an impressive web of shadows and shapes on the surrounding space. Designer: Ed Chew.

Admire the label art, open the bottle, drink the wine, put a stopper in, then consume the rest later … and then what?

Here are some illuminating reasons to think twice before recycling them right away. (Instructions for the above DIY outdoor wine bottle wooden-wall torch at Design Sponge). More than decor, candles can add nice mood lighting to a space – particularly when filtered through dark greens and browns of a glass wine bottle.

Faucet that allows only 1 liter of water - Seoul Colors - StumbleUpon. 1ℓimit faucet doesn’t necessarily changes how we physically interact with faucets but will definitely impact our behavior and environmental awareness when using water.

Although the water is refilled whenever the user closes the faucet, it still effectively transforms our behavior when spending water and creates environmental awareness by forcing this “1 limit”. via Yanko.
The Bend - Modern electric Moped - Erik Askin : The Method Case. Posted on July 20, 2011 by Themethodcase The Bend is a modern electric moped which offers urban dwellers the riding experience of a motorcycle with the ownership experience of a bicycle.
With the Bend we looked to revitalize the moped with a modern electric drivetrain and materials, while still evoking the style and emotion of the past. Mopeds, which are traditionally powered by 50cc 2 stroke motors and have pedals, were popular during the 70′s and 80′s during the oil crisis. Utilizing a rear electric hub from an ebike and lithium ion battery, we created a vehicle that was both fun and efficient. When we approached this project, we immersed ourselves in bike, moped, and motorcycle culture talking to riders, riding different types of vehicles, and observing what worked and what didn’t. One to one drawings, ergo jigs, and full scale card board mock-ups helped us justify our design decisions and helped form the final design. Team: Erik Askin – Brian Mitchell – Eric Peloquin.
