Isn’t this the normal scenario when you want to store all those important documents? Even if you might be running that paper less office, still there are a few items that need to be stocked in the paper form no matter what. However that is not the solution but the beginning of a problem. What with area needed for al those file racks and the space that shall be occupied. Takeshi Miyakawa’s design Fractal 23 is an interesting one.
Firstly since the commercial spaces are getting more and more expensive and the office location smaller and smaller, the emphasis in today’s space constrained offices is of utilizing the space provided to the best way possible. The advantage that the Fractal 23 bureau has is that firstly it is a cube; secondly it is scientifically proved that cube occupies the least amount of space. Hence it is a design that from the start is on a winning track.
Since the design uses every cubic inches that is possible in the design, Takeshi Miyakawa has really found the perfect solution of both storage and space

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.

Hability was born from the need to combine a careful analysis of the needs of the disabled with the creation of a kitchen that is not merely accessible but also aesthetically pleasant and accurate in every detail. The collaboration between architect Marco Miscioscia, a designer attentive to the world of the disabled, and Valcucine, a company that has made the philosophy of beauty its motto, has resulted in the creation of this industrial product that can be utilized just as well by people with no handicap as by the disabled, without the kitchen labeling the person as is often the case with similar projects.
Easy Food is a system in stainless steel for the kitchen, designed to reduce work during food preparation. It is extremely innovative in terms of ergonomics, safety and technical solutions and has been designed to be very accessible to the advantage of anyone using the kitchen.
