Node outlet

So simple. So sick.

from thedesignblog:
With increasing number of electronic devices intruding apartments as well as offices, we require lots of sockets to plug-in the gadgets, which often mars the decor of the modern residential and work spaces with the web of wires and extension cords. However, “Node” is an innovative solution to the scruffy problem that not just amps up multiple plugs in the circuit, but it featuring a simple yet fresh design also go hand in had with the interior decoration. There is no reason why the Node shouldn’t get a nod from interior designers.

Harley Davidson Trunk

from ecofriend:
A green Harley Davidson seems to be an oxymoron, but concept bike designer Nicolas Petit thinks otherwise. Petit has made sure that in a world where car and motorcycle manufacturers are looking for ways to make their bikes green, Harley Davidson should not be left behind. With an ecofriendly thought and tools to bring his creation to some realistic form, Nicolas has designed the Harley Davidson Trunk concept – a bike designed to run on clean, zero emission electricity.

This doesn't scream "Harley" to me. If you slapped a Ducati badge on there, however...

Abisko Washbasin

from trendir:
Breathtakingly brilliant in glacial white… the Abisko Washbasin from Eumar is a totally new concept for our modern lifestyle. In these environmentally-conscious times the cast mineral marble washbasin Abisko brings us back to nature. Inspired by the unspoilt waterfalls of the Swedish National Park Abisko, the sink is unfettered by pipes. Nor does it allow water to accumulate in a big tub, something designers Johan Kauppi and Lars Sundström deem unnecessary. Rather, one should be aware of just how much water one is using, and catch it with careful consideration. An extraordinary, sculptural piece, the Abisko washbasin captures the freshness of mountain streams as water cascades down the length of the sink to slip away down a discreet floor-level grill. Living with an awareness of our limited resources, surrounded by cherished objects… these are the keys to happiness offered by the Abisko Washbasin from Eumar.
