Plus Wash Station Conserves Water

2:26 am in Bathroom, Bathroom Design & Furniture, Sinks by Tanya

The Plus Wash Station has the prestigious Green Dot Award to its name and with good reason. An ideal amalgamation of function and form, the wash station by Bora Cakilkaya/P-ARCH is quite a thought-provoking design by being a fantastic assemblage of design, human thought process and technology. The system seeks to conserve water by storing the used water in its reservoir which then in turn gets treated to be used as drain water.

Sprout House By Studio Archi Farm

7:56 am in Architecture by Tanya

If this is how farming is done in Japan, then I am defiantly abandoning my career and signing up as a farmer! Check out the extremely modern and stylish Sprout House. Conceptualized by Studio Archi Farm, the Sprout house is not your run of the mill agricultural farm in Japan. Designed around an actual living space, the architects created a garden on top of the roof. A whole new meaning to terrace farming don't you think?

Design with a conscious is a mantra we here at Furniture Fashion strongly believe in and hence try to cover products that aim to make a difference.
