Tendence 2010: Show Overview

This kettle, designed by ECAL design student Estelle Sauvage, uses the heat from a 100-watt light bulb to heat its contents. From the designer: This kettle works with the heat of an incandescent light bulb 100W, which the sale is forbidden since September, 2009 (in France) and which see ending their production and their existence within homes. So the revolutionary object finished its life sadly, demonized by the ecology. This project just tries to pay a kind of tribute, staging the bulb, and its death. The kettle becomes out of order, its status of useful object crosses in a fraction of second, an object of memory, a “former” object.

Tuck yourself in the cozy Col-Letto Bed and then unroll yourself out in the morning. Normal sleepy-time terminology takes a different connotation with the Col-Letto Bed. The soft foam frame of the Col-Letto Bed folds up to tuck you in to a quiet and comfy sleep, or it unrolls and attaches to velcro to bring in open air, light and noise.

Designed by Nusa Jelenec for Italian furniture manufacturer Lago, the Col-Letto Bed is inspired by the collar of a turtleneck. The two-toned bed frame is available in a variety of colors to suit your bedroom decor. Matching nightstands that roll down or stay straight up are also available from Lago.

What do you think? Would you enjoy sleeping in the Col-Letto Bed?
