In the future a new earth-like planet - named Ademis - is discovered. A group of people with different skills is sent to Ademis to live there and examine the pre-conditions for a larger colony to be established.
A monochrome glimpse of Monaco’s dense urban fabric, where layers of architecture climb the hillsides. Every balcony, terrace, and façade tells a story of a city squeezed between the Mediterranean Sea and the Maritime Alps, a vertical playground of luxury and history.
Fun Fact:
Monaco is the second smallest country in the world, yet it has one of the highest population densities—over 38,000 people per square kilometer—making space a true luxury.
My apartment is not very big which is why I have bed sleeping on a sofa bed this past year. This weekend I decided to get my old bed up from the basement. Real thick mattresses. A bed! I had forgotten how important it is to have a space that is my own. Important for love. Important for me. I have created my own bedroom zone in the living room. It is what it is. And it's pretty good!
Mathew Gilbride’s modular, wall-mounted appliance provides flexible modes of cooking, refrigeration, air conditioning, lighting, and environmental design whilst reducing space. The appliance draws power wirelessly through ‘powermat’ technology applied to the wall, which is supplemented through solar energy as required. Multiple units and surfaces automatically work together through wireless smart networking, whilst customisation is offered by being able to install the units as the user prefers.
The Clean Closet is essentially a closet that washes clothing. Textiles are scanned for impurities and cleaned accordingly with molecular technology that removes dirt and odours. The concept replaces the laundry basket, the washÂing machine, and drying cabinet to save space and, as no water is used in the process, is kinder to the environment.
Two years in China provided the inspiration for Nicolas Hubert’s external refrigerator. Fixed directly on the outside wall of residential buildings, the concept is an elaboration on a way of life in northern China where food is kept on balconies in the winter to save space and energy. During cold seasons and at night, the low external temperatures are used to provide the right climate for items in the fridge. During warmer weather, the sun is used to transform light into energy through solar panels Nicolas reflects Electrolux design values: the shape and finish are kept pure and simple so as to ensure easy integration with the external urban environment, whilst a range of colours and ambient lighting further facilitate this.
Qumi is a fold out universal kitchen set. It can be used to heat, fry and steam a wide variety of food types (including liquids such as soup or sauces). When in storage the Qumi takes up little space (no more than a dinner plate) and is designed to be hung on an induction charging hook, making it wireless and portable. The concept features no display or control panel, rather all instructions are processed via mobile devices in the network ready home of the future.
Iosif Mihailo’s vision of the future includes the Bx7, a concept that can be used to mix capsules of zinc, calcium, magnesium, or carbohydrates with water to create a tasty nutritious juice. With less time, the Bx7 allows the user to prepare and consume meals on the go. The Bx7 is also equipped with internet connectivity to facilitate reordering of ‘food’ capsules.
The Freedge brings innovation to an appliance that has seen little modification since its first inception. Matthew McNaughton’s concept maximises the spatial capacity of a home by placing the bulky storage compartment of the fridge beyond an exterior wall, until it is actually needed, at which point a draw in the wall is utilised to bring the fridge and its contents to the user. This solution also requires less energy – during cold external temperatures the fridge does not need so much energy to keep food cold.
Dulyawat Wongnawa (an Electrolux Design Lab finalist from 2009) has conceived a storage unit that cleans clothes using ‘Airwash’ technology (with ozone being created to remove bacteria and odours, as currently found in industrial cleaning) and steam to remove wrinkles. The Zephyr integrates a number of laundry processes in to one to free up space.

The Inflower Clothes cleaner completely rethinks the laundry process, drawing influence (in name at least) from a literal combination of insects and flowers. These solar powered miniature cleaners (each no larger than the palm of a hand) use nano technology to clean clothing without water and take a minimum of space. Jianjiang Yin’s invention also doubles as an air purifier and can be used on clothes that are either in use or in storage with the cleaners placed on the spot that needs cleaning.

Lichen Guo identifies the conventional washing machine as an unnecessary occupier of space. The Dismount Washer addresses this by combining the cleaning vessel and laundry basket in one. The dirty laundry capsule is placed on a wall mountable motor (or ‘energy stick’) which takes up very little space. The energy stick also dispenses steam to aid the cleansing process.

The Mesh Cooker is a true space saving device taking up room only when in use. The portable device uses retractable aluminium and expandable Teflon to accommodate different food types and sizes. The Mesh Cooker can be placed on a table or anywhere near a socket to plug it in. The cooker is not only small, but flexible, providing the benefits of an oven with a cooking plate – heating food within or on top depending on user preference. When not in use the Mesh Cooker folds away in to a 30 x 10 cm space.

With only few square metres I have optimized our living space by designing and building (with the help of capable hands, i.e. my fathers) a loft bed for the girls. To make it we used some recycled bits (left-over pieces from the kitchen) and some beautiful vintage panels bought at a building store specializing in recycled building materials.
Browsing through my photos from last winter I came over this stunning photo of Italian space saving technique ...
I pass by this building every day and just love that jam packed balcony on the top floor :)

This was taken at a housing estate. Blocks of flats like this are a common sight in Hong Kong.
