A Shirt for All Occassions

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 08:43 AM PDT

With ever-changing fashion trends, increased awareness about fashion and the unique need of having outfits for different activities, Plexus explores the concept of clothes in the future- a time where garments may be held together by pixelated nano-particles, reacting to their surroundings with color changing properties. At home it’s a regular casual T-shirt, but walk into the office and it becomes a suit! Jump to the vid to watch it morph!

Designer: Vernon Chen & Joanne Lim Jin Xuan

Another Nokia Phablet

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 01:11 AM PDT

It’s raining Nokia concepts these day, and it only makes me happy! The good thing about this Nokia Lumia 1025 Phablet is that it is designed based on the leaks and plausible rumours. This concept features a 6 inch screen (1920 x 1152px – 15:9), is 8mm thin and with much horse power!

Atem is an innovative breathing windo panel that brings in fresh air and maintains its purity as well. It provides constant air circulation and balances the air temperature according to your needs. The panel is such that it constantly evaluates the quality of the air and opens and closes air passages of the membrane panel. The system can be controlled through a control station and an app.

Repurposing done right!

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 12:01 AM PDT

One of the most abundant and yet easily forgotten objects, the shipping pallet can be found in all corners of the world… many of which are neglected, or disposed of after use. The Re-Stacked Lounger breathes new life into old pallets, repurposing them into a lightweight mobileseating structure. Though unrecognizable from its original form, each lounge maintains the character and patina of the material for a naturally aged aesthetic!

Multiple angles in the Re-Stacked Lounger that act to visually lighten the piece. These angled edges create a lounger that is more comfortable, with easy transition between standing and seating. The back two edges have been left square and unchanged to show the stacking structure clearly.  

Rough parts are finished smooth where users sit. This contrasts with the interior of the piece, which is still in its rough and original state and highly visible due to the stacking of the pallets, which are inherently porous.

To ensure that the lounger is inviting and looks comfortable, a soft surface has been developed and created in conjunction with the seat itself. Woollen fleece cuts along with the process of dry needle felting create a knitted blanket as a form of cushioning. The colors of the knit were created through the process of natural dye, sourcing colours from local waste streams, such as left over onion skins from local restaurants and rusty nails kept from the palettes. This woollen covering is completely detachable so that it can be easily washed and taken off if necessary, and is held in place though old bike inner tubes which have been tightened and fixed to the pallet.

Designers: John van Huenen, Andrew Wilkie, Stephanie Ward, Ursula Davy, & Hannah Hutchinson

With pollution on the rise it’s more important than ever for urban dwellers to be aware of their air quality… especially at home. The Airioan Serves as an unobtrusive, easy way to maintain breathable air inside by using a simple yet effective ion filtration system. Compact and easy to carry, it was designed to be placed next to the bed, on the desk or other places in which we spend the most time.
