Revolutionary BabyBloom incubator for premature babies

 

Worldwide one in ten babies is born prematurely and for medical reasons they have to be cared for in incubators, which aim is to create and ensure optimally controlled conditions for the development of the baby. Up-to-now incubators' design didn't transcend its fundamental function; its appearance, easiness and comfort in use, and easy access for parents and hospital stuff were unconsidered and neglected. Untill the BabyBloom has been created.

Your private piece of the world on the floor. LANDCARPET by Florian Pucher

 

I am sure most of you have been able to watch aerial landscape out of the window of the plane or have seen it at satellite images on Google Maps. If not, you might have watched “Up in the air” with George Clooney; there were some nice shoots of such landscapes (mostly of the USA) at the very beginning of the film.

 

Have you ever thought how could these picturesque impressions be used in a decorative way, apart from taking pictures of them and hanging them on the walls? Austrian architect and designer, Florian Pucher, who works in Beijing had decided to transform them into floor coverings and designed LANCARPET rugs collection.

The philosophy of the space for children by XYstudio

 

You don't have to be a fortune teller to know that these are our children who would design the space we live in in the upcoming future. You don't have to be a pedagogue neither to know that we form our children's sense of aesthetic and support (or not) their sensitivity to the surrounding world from the very first moments of their lives. The conclusion is simple: we should attach importance to the aesthetic education of our children. Hence, we should provide them places which would treat them as a sensitive recipient, who need order, harmony and clear principles of arranging space.


Most common mistakes committed while creating space for children are chaos and lack of consequence which are most visible in unconsidered space arrangement, accidental colours and a mixture of patterns and  cartoons' characters on the walls and on the floor.


Architects from XYstudio have created their own philosophy of the space for children, basing on their experience and discussions with pedagogues and psychologists.

Pepo collection by Pan Popi

 

The beginning of the 2012 is quite difficult for me. Most time for the last two weeks I have spent in bed feeling unwell hence unhappy hence unable to blog. Although I am not feeling any better, today my sense of duty and my uneasy conscience won my weakness and sickness ... and here I am. And despite the way I feel, I will share with you a beautiful and funny story about unusual and talented monkey.

 

Pan Popi (Mr Popi) has a chance to become as popular as King Kong or Tarzan foster parents, however he is definitely far more significant for design world then his famous relatives as he is not a material but an artist.
