Tired of seeing a small room in the hospital that doesn’t cure you but makes you feel more uncomfortable? Then there is a solution for it. The “Vita lie-flat hospital chair” gives you the pleasure of a bed and a chair in one. This chair is exclusively made for patients that seek support to their back and legs while resting. It can be converted into a bed in a minute and chair again in the same time. It can be adjusted to an appropriate angle that the patient requires. Even 180 degrees is possible to give the patient a complete rest and a comfortable night.
Looking at the design, it looks to me as a stylish one accompanied by soft cushions like bed on the top. It is very easy to move from one place to another and this is possible due to the wheels present. The positioning of the arm support is perfect for the angles at which the chair can be bent. Its mirror finish gives it a shiny look. It’s made of steel and this ensures that it has a huge life span and will work for you over a long period of time.

Wang Yigang has designed flow, a wind solar energy system. This solar and wind energy collection system uses arciform photovoltaic cells to enable a better collection of sun light. At the same time, the shell, which is composed of six photovoltaic cells, can be used as wind concentrator. The wind forms a whirlpool within. This acceleration of wind speed increases the performance of the rotor. Through movable joints, the angles of the photovoltaic cells can be adjusted so that different orientations can be made for the maximisation of sun exposure, and to vary the amount of wind entering the system. The wind energy system uses a Darrieus-type vertical axis wind turbine. It can operate normally even when the wind is not very strong. In addition, FLOW?s small size makes this system suitable for family use.

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.
