Stylish Bicycle

When Art meets transport the result is stylish bikes inspired by works of art.

To celebrate their 100th birthday, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts (MIA) teamed up with Handsome Cycles to create three different bicycles customized to look like famous paintings from the MIA.

Creative Food Packaging

Tomorrow Machine is a Swedish design studio based in Stockholm & Paris that specializes in package product and food concepts.
The two projects “This too shall pass” and the “Sustainable expanding bowl” are both examples of how the creative designers behind Tomorrow Machine, Hanna Billqvist and Anna Glansén, focus on building a better world through research, new technologies, and intelligent material.

“This too shall pass” is a series of food packages where the packaging has the same short life span as the foods they contain.

Oil package
A package made of caramelized sugar, coated with wax. To open it you crack it like an egg. When the material is cracked the wax no longer protects the sugar and the package melts when it comes in contact with water. This package is made for oil-based products.

Smoothie package
Gel of the agar-agar seaweed and water are the only components used to make this package. To open it you pick the top. The package will wither at the same rate as its content. It is made for drinks that have a short life span and need to be refrigerated – fresh juice, smoothies, and cream, for example.

 Rice Package
Package made of biodegradable beeswax. To open it, you peel it like a fruit. The package is designed to contain dry goods, like grains and rice.

The Sustainable expanding bowl is a self-expanding instant food package combining different aspects of sustainability. It saves space in transportation by being compressed – at the same time, it is made out of a 100% bio-based and biodegradable material.

Pop Up Retail Space

Dittel thinks outside the box for pop up retail unit.

The versatile design acts as a convertible retail space, offering retailers and temporary exhibitors a customizable presentation area. It is fully self-contained and covers an area of 9m², but is expandable up to 30m²

Dittel created  the ‘food corner’. 

An alternative cafe area, Dittel bring all eaters to two long, communal tables. The ‘corner’ is a place where everyone is welcome, and features integrated USB charging stations for people on the go.

Recycle Reuse Refresh

Coca-Cola and FuseProject developed a company-wide strategy for sustainability. The Coca-Cola Refresh Recycling Bin is a new twist on the traditional recycling container. As a part of this wider effort, recycling containers were developed to provide easy deployment, sustainable materials and efficient shipment.

The World of Couture

Couture clients invested time and effort into commissioning their wardrobes, and the relationship with the designer was an intimate one. Hardy Amies wrote, 'It is often forgotten that we execute orders: we do not sell clothes. If you went into the Boutique you would buy a suit, but if you walk upstairs you order a suit.'

The showing of the new designs followed fixed laws of precedence, beginning with suits and ending with evening wear.

Daywear

Day outfits included casual ensembles (ensembles simples), morning suits (tailleurs matin), casual afternoon suits (robes d'après-midi simples) and sophisticated dress suits (tailleurs habillés).
