Ceramic Speakers by Joey Roth

TheFuture — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 06:19:36 +0000

The Ceramic speakers is a mind-blowing concept with a pair of delightfully colored ceramic speakers, features high quality sound with its non-conventional 4-inch full-range driver along with the T-class amplifier. The speakers are encased in acoustically deep ceramic and the amplifier is placed inside a cork chamber. This unique pair of speakers can produce only 10 watts output on every channel and is fabricated with most atypical and sustainable materials such as maple plywood, porcelain, cork. The entire creation holds an aesthetic appeal which parallels its pleasing acoustic effects instead of being made of amazingly simple materials.

Cluster Housing Design to Handle Extreme Temperature Problems

TheFuture — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 10:00:31 +0000

This Sydney based EnterArchitecture is designed to overcome the problem of extreme temperatures. This concept is characterized by leaning roof shapes made up of highly transportable lightweight resources such as bent metal profiles and formed plywood panels. It is known as a cluster of comfort because of its easy assembly, thermal comfort and a strong design. There are variable openings in the panels and they can be customized as per the user’s requirements. The concept is designed in a very unique manner in order to provide several configurations to accommodate full sun protection from harsh sun. Somehow, this design seems a little congested for the user.

The concept is initially aimed for a low income housing area in Redfern, a destitute inner-city suburb of Sydney. The architect’s main objective was to make sure that the traditional 19th century workers cottage aesthetic would not be overrun by a newly introduced aesthetic.

Construction of the Redfern scheme is due to commence in late November. EnterArchitecture will be working on similar projects with the Western Australian Government for a remote housing cluster and also for a client in the Emirates.

Svepa Bike : Combination of Plywood and Aluminum Creates Elegant Bike

TheFuture — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 09:06:18 +0000

Svepa bike is made up of unique combination of plywood and aluminum giving an elegant and eye-catching look to the bike. This innovative design of Par Blanking from Sweden is a multi purpose bicycle. It can be used as a normal bicycle or used by two people. One person as easily sits on the back seat and other person can stand on the rear footboard. The wheels also differ in size to make a balance. The smart use of a metal framework topped by plywood panels in this bicycle has come up as the most practical design you would have ever seen.

Text from designer :
The bike is designed taking eco-commuting to the next level. The research and prototyping was built upon cleaning (fishing bikes from) the river Po’ in Turin, Italy, to get material for the first prototype. Cheap and as fast as possible. In the same time it directed the project towards the “No Oil” manifest and the integration of nature and it’s material in the bike. Laminated wood and aluminium was chosen for the frame. This gave the bike chock-absorbing character, and integrated fenders into the frame. The bike has it target among a hi-end, trend sensitive public, looking for fun while commuting short distance. You can carry a second passenger behind you, and the “surf deck” between pedals and front fender allows you to use it as a kick-bike. Very useful crossing streets and in crowded places were pedaling is difficult or even dangerous.

Stylist and Modern Carry-On Luggage

TheFuture — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 11:02:37 +0000

A new design from Joey Roth, carry-on luggage to articulate the lost romance of air travel. The design also pulls from the golden age of ocean liners: the black lacquered finish will become beautifully scraped and chipped as the suitcase travels with you, revealing the bamboo plywood beneath. The patina will develop with each trip you take. The wood bar serves as a carrying handle when closed. It unfolds, using simple 45-degree angles between bars and rotating joints, to allow the user to roll the suitcase. The interior has four drawers with bamboo bases and soft felt walls. The bottom drawer is sized for laptops. Instead of unpacking your clothes once you reach your destination, the carry-on suitcase functions as a very livable wardrobe while you?re on the go.
