The Slovenian SipSup glass is the first social glass in the world, as it connects to a smartphone and serves us memories in addition to a drink. Miha Petek, Anže Volovšek and Aleš Perme are behind the project of the interactive glass, and the glasses themselves are made in Steklarna Hrastnik and are not only technologically sophisticated, but also of high quality. The success of the Kickstarter campaign, where SipSup will raise startup funds for 42 days, seems imminent.
Architecture & Interior
The handy Leano lounge chair is intended for all those who love nature, who swear by being different and who prefer to let their imagination run wild instead of rules. It is the fruit of the work and imagination of young Slovenian developers, who can be supported on the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform from May 5.
At the London fair "100% Design", which is the largest sales design event in Great Britain, young Slovenian designers are also presented.
In one of the most densely populated areas of Tokyo, a couple with one child decided to build a house. Nothing like that, if only the area intended for construction was not a minimum size of around 34 square meters.
Despite the trend of moving to big cities, people are returning to nature due to a stressful lifestyle. Research has shown that we want smaller buildings in contact with nature. The Slovenian company Smartdome Constructions answered this with Smartdome houses, modular and environmentally friendly domes that look like something from another planet or from a futuristic movie. Their advantage is that everyone can afford it, it can be easily implemented in any environment and adapted to current needs. They can be energy independent and require no bureaucracy. You do not need a building permit for installation.
You are hot, your partner is cold. A classic. While one throws the blanket off himself, the other frantically covers himself. SmartDuvet, which debuted on Kickstarter with a self-cleaning bed, is now here with another masterpiece: the SmartDuvet Breeze bed, which cleans itself while also adjusting the temperature according to our preferences and those of our partner.
They say that making the bed is one of the key indicators that we are truly grown up. Obviously, some of us are not 'grown-up' people, because we much prefer to sleep for those few minutes more than to get up and make the bed. Well, from now on you don't even have to think about it. Tina Cayouette and her team created the Smartduvet, a bed that makes itself.
SmartSlab is a smart dining table on which you can not only dine, but also cook, cool drinks and charge your smartphone or tablet. The brand SapienSton and the design agency Kram/Weisshaar signed under the table of the future.
Apps that record your sleep cycles are nothing new, but Durmet wants to keep an eye on what's going on with your bed, especially when you're not at home. You've probably already figured out where the dog (or rather the Smarttress bed) is pawing. It is the first mattress to detect fraud. Would you like to sleep peacefully? Then this bed with a secret feature, a feature that detects suspicious bed activities, is perfect for you, because you'll know if your partner is cheating on you or not (well, unless he's doing it elsewhere). Has trust in partner relationships reached a new low with this?
The online accommodation provider Airbnb announced a prize game on its website, the main prize of which was an overnight stay at the top of the ski jump in Holmenkollen. Let's check out what the ski jump looks like, converted into a glass penthouse apartment, which is characterized by modern Nordic design and an amazing panoramic view.
The design of furniture, especially kitchens, goes more and more in the direction of our habits and needs. Thus, modern kitchens are multifunctional, extremely flexible, designed to be user-friendly, so that their experience is as ergonomic as possible.
Thanks to the Be-elastica innovation, which goes by the name of Snap, you can now turn almost any surface into a table or book/storage shelf without any carpentry skills. It is a system that requires no drilling and no tools to create functional furniture from scratch. The matter is as simple and quick as tying a bunch of papers together with a paperclip. You can order Innovation on Kickstarter.
