The concept lamp, Nissyoku from igendesign is one beautiful creation. Working on “magnetic” mechanism, this unique lamp will make for the most amazing bedside light source. Inspired by the solar eclipse, this lamp is truly breath taking. The magnet is situated on the two len-form panels, and there is metal surface which fixes the magnet. The len-form panels found on both sides can move in various directions and the strength of lighting is adjusted by the degree of turning. The two panels move on the concave surface made out of the intersection of the two globes. The lamp is fashioned through vacuum forming. There is a 5W high powered LED per panel. By touching the middle ring, you can either switch on or off this beautiful lamp.

Here is one street lamp that will get the seal of every environmentalist. Christened the Light Tree, this solar powered lamp is not just a technological genius but a design beauty as well. Entirely powered by renewable energy, its design allows growing plants as well. Light is generated by LEDs situated in the base and conducted by water through the tree-shaped system. Simultaneously, water feeds the seeds located at the upper extremities. Brainchild of Omar Huerta, this Light Tree street lamp is ideal for all modern cities.

Innovation in our living space is all about juggling with materials and kinky designs that could do wonders to the way we look and manage things. Check out this unique lamp named 360° Ceiling Lamp. Made out of white plastic and mirror surface, it doesn’t even come across as a lamp until we switch on the light. This is the way we’d liked to be ambushed by our lighting fixtures. The light has a well thought out construction and one can choose from white surface or mirrored surface, depending on the environment. The easy to assemble lamp has original laser engraving which is sure to add special charm to your room. Another ambush is the superfluous circle in the middle of the lamp which is actually a bookmark! Thank me for you’d have done away with it if I wouldn't have let that out!

Upgradation in the basic daily use products are always welcome, but more often than not there is not much scope of working around the functionality. The least a designer can do is work around the design a bit. And this is what designer Paul Sandip has done to the simple clothesline clip. By playing around the concept of perception this single piece injection molded component is made of recycled plastic. The design is elevated by making it possible to be used by both the sides. This daily life utility product is truly a simple and useful innovation.

Every home has a fire extinguisher in the kitchen. But how many of us actually know the right way of using it? I’m sure the complicated instructions make it a tad difficult to use it by the common man. The ‘Guardian’ is a solution to that problem. With its easy to use functionality, it definitely is the users product. With a 3V battery that can be recharged with the solar panel on the surface, the new age fire extinguisher lights the LED bulb that it consists. The usage part of the fire extinguisher is quite simple where all the user has to do is point the nozzle at the fire base and press the handle forward to discharge the extinguishing agent. Replacing the aerosol can is as simply as using it. All one needs to do is simply slide in the new aerosol.

When it comes to bathroom fittings, hygiene is my top most priority. That is why I have loved the Another Bathroom design concept by Felipe Ribon. The unique Another Bathroom concept features a series of textile basins and a line of variable flow faucets. The fabric stretched over a metal structure and a water column is placed in the centre. The smooth curve created by the tightened fabric creates a washing receptacle. In this unique receptacle, water flows easily and there is no place for dirt to accumulate. What is more, integrated with nano-technology, these fabrics are both waterproof and bacteria free. What is more, the fabrics can be removed and washed in a washing machine as well! Thus, increasing hygiene and cleanliness.

No matter what innovations we come up with in simplest of everyday appliances and devices in life, we more often than not tend to ignore those who may not be able to use the product like the majority of the rest. The Rotary Kettle attempts to make an innovation with the functionality of the product. Basically catering to the people with impaired hand strength and control, all you need to do is rotate the kettle’s body to pour boiling hot water. The user only needs to grip the handle, and rotate the kettle in its base, to pour a cup of tea, whereas in all other existing tea kettle designs, much more effort is required from the user; where they have to bear the kettles' weight when pouring. With its revolutionary user-centric design, the 1.2 liter stainless steel, this product definitely caters to a diverse audience.

Nowadays everyone uses water from the water dispenser. After the after form it is used up, it has to be returned to the water company for refilling purposes. The space that many of these dispensers occupy while transportation is too much. ‘Compressed Water bucket’ is one such dispenser that can be gently compressed for smarter storage. Not only does this save space while transportation but can save human labor and resources. It is made of eco-friendly materials and thus has a long shelf life. [red-dot]

Imagine a rainy afternoon when you’re rushing past to reach the coffee shop to catch up with your friends, and you’ll chat and chat and then get up and leave when it’s evening. Everything goes well, except for the fact that you left your wet umbrella in the coffee shop itself. Now take a flashback into your life and think about all the pretty umbrellas you have ever left back at such common places. Now, this will not be a problem anymore, because with the ‘dangling umbrella’, you can conveniently dangle the umbrella to the edge of the table or a bar. The handle slides apart so that the cap can be slipped over the edge of a table or bar. When the cap is opened, it lights up with the words “Don’t forget.” Silicon on the underside of the cap helps it grip the surface. I think this is a very handy and useful thing, and I guess all umbrellas should have this mechanism too! [red-dot]

As I always say innovation if the best thing a person can come up with. This time it is this pretty looking lamp which emits a beautiful soft ambient light from the top and the holes on the sides. But wait a minute, doesn’t this resemble something? Yes, I think you did guess it correctly it is the regular washing machine drum that once spoilt becomes nothing but a piece of metal trash. By putting it to this kind of use only adds to the beauty of the design.
