Belkin Conserve Insight Records Your Energy Consumption

11:53 pm in Home Accessories, Home Appliances by Tanya

"Design with a conscious" is one of those 21st century A&D trends that have really caught on and are no longer associated with tjhe idealists or the eco-police. Every inch of our urban existence is dependent on some form of energy so it makes sense to design products that actually track our consumption.The Belkin Conserve Insight does just that and also gives you information on the amount of CO2 emitted by your appliances, or the cost of operation. So if your refrigerator is consuming too much electricity then chuck it for the environment and even your wallet.

Bucky, Foglie, Tabard Lights From Pallucco

7:01 am in Lamps, Lamps & Lighting, Modern Lamps by Tanya

Italian company Pallucco haas always made an impression with their innovative design trajectory and proved time and time again that they are not averse to experimentation. Their Bucky, Foglie, and Tabard lighting units exudes an avant-garde sensibility by bidding adieu to symmetry. Bucky resembles a kite and pays homage to architect Richard Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller, where as Foglie ("leaves" in English) is inspired by nature. Interestingly the third in the line up, Tabard seeks inspiration from something as mundane as a seamless overcoat!
