After witnessing first-hand the trouble with the conventional metal trolleys, this British industrial designer began designing a new system that would benefit the cabin crew and make economy dining easier for passengers, it’s called Orbit Aircraft Food Delivery System. Through extensive research and interview process from cabin crew about the problem they face with the current trolleys and designed Orbit to fix these issues.
Orbit is 8 inches wide which is 4 inches less the current trolleys. This means that passengers can move past the product easily in the aisle. There are gaps in the track every few meters down the aisle that allow Orbit to unlock from the track if necessary and roll to the side to allow passengers past. Even though Orbit is thinner than current trolleys, it holds more meals. This is because Orbit is longer in length. It can hold up for 60 meals, whereas current trolleys only hold 35-40.

By implementing the principle of “Form Follows Function” which usually is associated with modern industrial design, Tom Dixon has created unique and beautiful Fin Light Round Copper. Instead of hiding the inner systems, this British industrial designer exposes them on the outside making this round pendant lamp looks visually intriguing. Those electrical components which are usually invisible are now becoming the integral part of the design.
Fin Light Round Copper comes in choices of rounded square or round with 3 different color options: bronze, blue or steel. What a beautiful self-contained piece featuring both a shade and light in one.

To answer the challenge of one of 2nd year projects at Northumbria University, Isaac Teece, a British Industrial Designer, chose to redesign the Sigg Bottle. The task was to add value to an existing classic product. The designer chose to redesign ‘Sigg Wide Mouth’ bottle. The fact that this product is an extremely famous and desirable product, Isaac knew the changes should be kept minimum. His aim was to launch the bottle into the 20th century by refining its shape and adding details, such as flashes of color to make it appeal to a wider target market. I think he did pretty great job.

The concern about keeping the future environment suitable for mankind, industrial designers always tend to blend green and nature with the futuristic architectures. Urban formation concept, an effort to humanize and programmatically decelerate the corner of 104the Avenue and 152nd street in Surrey, Vancouver Canada, is not an exception of the trend. The main focus of the project is to change the current site into a place for recreation with various leisure activities, and at the same time, making it an energy hub by transforming sun and rain into alternative energy using power generating plant. The entire area has been envisioned to be re-landscaped including a buffer system that reduces the noise from the main streets. Aside from that, this urban plan contains theatre space, recreational areas, lighting for park and space for cultural and common entertainments.
