NESTREST

NESTREST
Doesn't that picture look so peaceful and inviting? I think I'm in love. That dangling, serene little pod is a NESTREST, designed by Paris' Daniel Pouzet and Fred Frety. It's described as an over-sized bird's nest that's perfect for relaxation, meditation and open-air conversations. And if you love the design, but dangling in the air isn't your thing, NESTREST is also available as a standing lounger. It's made of 4 cm wide strips of a unique material called DEDON Fiber, the world's first synthetic resin fiber material.

The centrally placed lamp pops up to emit a soft glow while projecting any form of branding (via stencils) to the floor-space below. Eun-Gyeong Gwon & Eun-Jae Lee & Yanko Design This one’s kinda hard to swallow so take a deep breath, open your minds, and pretend it’s 2100. I CONTACT is essentially a mouse fitted to your eyeball. The lens is inserted like any other normal contact lens except it’s laced with sensors to track eye movement, relaying that position to a receiver connected to your computer.
