TheFuture — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:48:43 +0000

uTree Urban Photovoltaic Tree is the new and better version of the old Urban Tree concept submitted for the “Plan Solar de Navarra” competition. As you can see, compared to the old model, both this urban tree design and functions have been improved and modernized. The basic idea was to create urban structure for the city that utilize solar power, it has to be self-sufficient and it has to be multi-functional. Therefore, the main design enables this concept to be used as street lamps, traffic lights, thermometer, clock and so many things.

Designer : Xabier Perez de Arenaza

Since this concept is inspired by a tree with its roots, branches and leaves, you probably already familiar with the shape and form of uTree Urban Photovoltaic Tree. The innovative design allows each uTree to be connected all together feeding the grid with electricity to support other public services such as trains or buildings (townhall or cultural centers).

At this moment, this industrial designer is looking for financing in order to create the first working prototype. This will enable him to evaluate the cost and benefit for uTree Urban Photovoltaic Tree real use in a city. Are you interested?

Recreational Island : Portable Floating Platform for Recreational Use

TheFuture — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 06:08:03 +0000

Henry Ward Designed has teamed up with BMT Nigel Gee to develop highly innovative “Recreational Island”. Compared to Tropical Island Paradise Mega Yacht, this one is simpler version and more portable. Measuring 10m x 8m when deployed, this design is a floating foldable platform in which when in its folded position, it can be kept in a tender bay of a large yacht. Users can deploy this unit using standard overhead tender cranes or towed when in its folded position to their preferred location. Recreational Island is a good choice to use in a shallow bay that a yacht can’t access, or if preferred, a yacht owner can also use this platform simply as a stern extension to the yacht existing transom platform, creating a large and flexible space for dining or just relaxing.

Designer : Henry Ward Design

At this moment, the development team is doing extensive research to provide an option for yacht owners to configure this “Recreational Island” as a portable helicopter landing platform. This could be very useful for existing yachts that have no landing facilities, they don’t have to sacrifice their valuable deck space.

“Recreational Island” at first was Henry Ward project as part of his final year project as a yacht designer. BMT recognized his ingenious design and has taken into serious possibility to invest in the undertaking of technical studies to assess technical feasibility and engineer the design further. Can you see the potential of this design? It can be applied to hotel industry, as well as the military and many other applications.

Tuvie has received “Recreational Island” project from our ‘Submit A Design‘ feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their design/concept for publication.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays 2010!

TheFuture — Sat, 25 Dec 2010 05:00:10 +0000

In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it ‘Christmas’ and went to church; the Jews called it ‘Hanukka’ and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say ‘Merry Christmas!’ or ‘Happy Hanukka!’ or (to the atheists) ‘Look out for the wall!’ ~Dave Barry

We wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Luxurious and Comfortable Moon Sun Lounger

shibli — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 06:38:32 +0000

The ironically designed moon sun lounger has been designed in a shape of the moon with great functionality to provide most comforting sunbath. The most advantageous point of this transparent and easily manufactured lounger is it can tan the body from back side as well by reflecting sunbeams through its water filled bottom part. At the same time, the air around the body remains cool through the vaporized water over time, giving a soothing feeling to the user. The shape of bottom and weight of water gives the user a pleasing cradle swinging experience after a small nudge. To make the sunbathing more entertaining, the lounger contains different size holds where any kind of beverage glasses can be kept.

When it comes about a bag, a user will always opt for one that is compact, yet can store a considerable amount of everyday objects. The folding bag has been specially designed for mass users, not just only in a shape of the armadillo, but also with the functionality that the animal has through its foldable leathery armor shell. To make it a rare piece, aluminum polypropylene composite has been used to make the folding bag with a stylish shiny finish.
