ntroversial cooker that 'grows' meat in your kitchen wins major design competition By Fay Schlesinger Updated: 08:58 GMT, 25 September 2009 A controversial cooker that 'grows' meat and fish by heating animal cells in your kitchen claimed first prize in the Electrolux design competition tonight. The invention, called Cocoon, could develop food with the make-up and nutrients of real meat. Mr Hederstierna, 27, said: 'This will create 100 per cent pure meat without the need for animals to be killed and with no risk of contamination. [caption] A food generator is a popular concept in science fiction programmes such as Star Trek. Swedish industrial design student Rickard Hederstierna, 27, said it could tackle food shortages as the world's population spirals. And the glass cooker, which would heat pre-mixed food packets containing muscle cells, oxygen and nutrients, would put an end to messy and time-consuming preparation. Competition panelist David Fisher, design director of consultantsSeymourpowell, described the invention as 'controversial'. Feeling hungry?
Agenda - Les applications des plastiques végétaux,... Face à la raréfaction des ressources pétrolières, à l’augmentation de leurs coûts et pour répondre à la volonté des pouvoirs publics de réduire l’impact environnemental des plastiques et aux attentes des consommateurs en matière de développement durable, de plus en plus d’industriels se tournent vers l’utilisation du plastique végétal. Obtenu par la conversion chimique d’amidon de maïs, de blé, de fécule de pomme de terre etc., le plastique végétal offre une alternative au pétrole dans les domaines de l’emballage, de l’automobile, du bâtiment, de la décoration, du médical, de l’hygiène, de la restauration, de la cosmétique, etc. Il présente de nombreux avantages : limiter la dépendance au pétrole, réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, créer de la valeur ajoutée et de nouveaux emplois, répondre aux exigences du règlement européen REACH sur l’importation de produits chimiques etc. 4 conférences et 2 tables rondes pour faire le point sur les plastiques végétaux : Déjeuner

stitz task stool by wilkhahn The Stitz work stool by Wilkhahn does not fit easily into any category. Its a work stool, yes, but it has a pneumatic lift like a task chair - not a fixed height. And the base is unique, as it is not a static base. Its not a base with wheels, but a large sand bag like base that allows the stool to tilt, yet remain standing. What does that gain you? Its a stool that you can sit upon, or lean against. So you can use it at a stand up work station, or at a bar, or in a lab setting.
