I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
Vases occupy an awkward corner of product design. Most exist somewhere between functional and decorative without committing to either, and the result is a category that rarely surprises. Ceramic ones carry craft tradition, glass ones depend on color and transparency, and the novelty options try to be sculptural without much conviction behind them. It’s a…
The Rhode Island School of Design has discovered something remarkable hiding in plain sight: their trash bins contain tomorrow’s art supplies. Through the newly launched Loop Lab initiative, what once headed to landfills now becomes raw material for the next generation of designers and artists. The Edna W. Lawrence Nature Lab spearheaded this ambitious pilot…
Rice waste, often discarded after harvest, is emerging as one of the most eco-friendly resources with numerous applications. From producing biochar for improving soil fertility to creating sustainable nanomaterials and biodegradable packaging, rice waste is transforming industries. Studies indicate that the global rice production yields over 750 million tons of grain each year, generating approximately…
Furniture design has become increasingly focused on mass production and disposable aesthetics, but some designers are pushing back against this trend with thoughtful, sustainable alternatives. Caroline Chao, an architect turned object designer, represents this movement toward more meaningful, personal furniture that tells a story about materials, function, and our relationship with everyday objects. Her Roll-up…
Most 3D printers force you to choose between speed, color, quality, or price. You can have fast prints, but only in one color. Multi-color prints take forever and waste enormous amounts of filament. Professional results require expensive machines that most makers can’t justify. The Snapmaker U1 Color 3D Printer refuses to accept these compromises. This…
British designer Max Lamb has done something pretty cool at Bali’s Desa Potato Head hotel. He’s taken their actual trash, old bed sheets, used cooking oil, broken glass, leftover oyster shells, and somehow made furniture that looks like it belongs in a design magazine. The whole thing took five years to figure out, which makes…
Electronic waste is one of the top contributors to the world’s ever-growing trash problem. As long as we keep producing new gadgets and devices, there will be all kinds of waste that will probably end up in the landfill eventually once they reach end of life. Good thing there are designers that are constantly seeking…
Coal-fired power plants have done their fair share of damage over the past century. From climate change to acid rain, black lung to heart disease, they’ve generally been on the debit side of the ledger. But lurking in the literal ashes is something of a minor climate savior. “Ash can be used to replace up…
When you’re on vacation at the beach, you probably enjoy looking at and listening to waves as they crash onto the shore. You may even like going into the water and battling these waves, safely of course. But these wave actions can sometimes cause damage on the shore and shoreline structures so we put wave-dissipating…
There are plenty of designs that advertise being sustainable, but many of them stop halfway through the product’s life cycle. They are usually made from sustainable or renewable materials, and some, but not all, are made with a reduced carbon footprint. That said, not many cover what happens after the product has served its purpose,…
