Kitchen Waste Disposal Box

Monday, 7 September 2026

Vitality

Vitality Family Garden is a small indoor compost bin designed to process household kitchen waste. Earthworms placed inside the box eat food residues and turn them into natural fertiliser. The fertiliser is then used to grow vegetables in small planting pots. An LED planting lamp supports plant growth indoors, and its lighting modes are selected with buttons. The product is not automated, so composting and planting are completed by the user. Vitality Family Garden reduces kitchen odour and returns food waste to useful life.

Acoustic Panels

Kuss

Kuss is a collection of sound absorption panels designed to reduce excessive noise in homes, open offices and other public spaces. The panels are made of an ecological and non-toxic composite. Organic-rich lake sediments, known as sapropel, are used as the binder and mixed with natural fibres. Each panel measures 500 by 720 millimetres and is 30 millimetres thick. Panels are joined into sets and hung from the top and bottom, so walls are not damaged by glue or drill holes. The extraction of sapropel also improves the quality of freshwater resources and lake ecosystems.

Sustainable Social Building

Out Of Sight

Out Of Sight is a social building project designed for Friars Island in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The project uses forty two twenty foot shipping containers treated with thermal insulation, forming a built area of 620 square metres. The containers house a dance school that previously operated beside the neighbouring church and three emergency social homes for local residents. A steel structural system was chosen to keep the construction light, safe and quick to build. The design follows the existing topography and supports access to culture and decent housing.

Motor 1

In many appliances and tools production processes, each product requires a motor, but the time of using the product is short, resulting in a waste of resources. The motor is used as the core of a series of home appliances and power tools. The design of the motor can be quickly installed in different modules to reduce the number of motors needed for home appliances. It allows users to obtain different modules and install the motor core in various home appliance modules when required. It effectively solves the problem of overproduction to avoid waste.

Stamp

Thursday, 3 September 2026

Moss

Moss is a stamp designed for planting moss on land damaged by forest fires. The stamp holds 150 millilitres of moss and works with an incubation room that injects moss spores and nutrient solution and offers suitable growing conditions. The outlet of the stamp has a spiral shape, following the way moss spreads over ground. The length is adjusted with a button on the top, and an indicator light shows the remaining amount. Hikers and volunteers can take a stamp from the incubation room and press moss onto the soil to support forest recovery.

Slow Wool Collection

The Slow Wool Collection is a set of blankets and pillows made for the home. Only natural sheep's wool from South Tyrolean shepherds is used. The wool is processed into blankets and pillows in small local manufactories. Standard sizes are offered, and pieces can also be made to measure. The packaging is fully recyclable, and boxes from the store are reused for shipping. Fair prices are paid to the shepherds and to the partner manufactories. The design is timeless and minimalist, and supports a slower and more mindful way of living.
