The White Noise Lamp is a furniture piece inspired by Alvar Aalto's work on the Paimio Sanatorium and his chair of the same name. It is designed as a piece for the ill and elderly who find themselves in the predominantly sterile surroundings of a medical institution. The concept is that warm diffuse lighting and white noise can help relax the patient. The aesthete of the piece was designed to counterbalance the sterility of the surroundings and provide a more homely atmosphere.

Moonloop is a low content information display for the consumer market. It allows the user to explore fixed astral entities (stars and constellations) providing both education and entertainment. By reducing the guess work in locating these entities, Moonloop opens up the skies to everyone, regardless of their experience or knowledge.
The goal of Moonloop was to provide the most immersive interaction experience possible using the unique characteristics of the transparent OLED technology to showcase the technology to investors and the public.Industrial Design, Interaction Design, Product Design2009 -
BACKGROUND:
Entry to the current LED Emotionalize Contest by OSRAM
MeMe explores the issue of emotional connectivity over physical distances.
Visual communication technologies capable of transmitting facial and emotional information are yet to be widely adopted in the consumer market. This is due in part to their complexity, cost, and the large amounts of data that they require.
MeMe allows people to stay connected emotionally by visually transmitting such information in real time with LED technology.
FUNCTION:
Step 1
Choose either a SIM Card model or a USB model.
Step 2
Using a standard marker, ‘clone’ yourself by drawing your distinguishing features on MeMe.
Step 3
Give MeMe to someone you care about and wish to stay connected with.
Step 4
Send emoticon messages to MeMe through the internet or a mobile device and stay connected.
AS A SOCIAL NETWORKING DEVICE:
As a user receives multiple personalized MeMes and uses them together,they begin to form a social or ‘emocial’ network. The user then increasingly becomes immersed in the MeMe social network, creating and maintaining emotional links to others in their network.
REAL TIME:
Face-to-face communication occurs in real time, and this is the most natural and meaningful method of connecting with another person. MeMe emoticon messages are only displayed for 2 minutes to ensure that messages are current and communications are real.
SCENARIOS:
1-An elderly grandparent who has no internet or mobile can receive emotional visual messages from a family member with no presumed understanding of technology.
2-A mother on a business trip can keep in touch with her child
3-Long-distance lovers can use MeMe to keep in touch.

Zierlabs Sputnik LED lamp and storage chest.
In 1957 the Sputnik was launched into orbit, and in 2009 it crashes into your living room.
The Zierlabs Sputnik features 4 individual LED antennae that can pivot on a universal joint to allow it to both fill a space and fit into crevasses. The base of the storage compartment is weighted with the power adapter and the sputnik can rock freely on its base without overbalancing.Industrial Design, Product Design, Furniture Design2009 -
“Breathing Patchwork” can be seen as an amalgamation of the tradition of the family patchwork quilt, and home-made stained glass windows.
A wall of illuminated artwork is built up using the modular light tiles. Each light tile is made of a small, framed 150x150mm transparent OLED emitter. Layered onto this is a sheet of clear acrylic, onto which an image can be painted using standard water based acrylics.
During the day the artwork is translucent in the same way that a traditional stained glass window pane is, but at night and in low light, the OLED emitter can be turned on to create a backlit “stained glass” mosaic.
Each acrylic panel can be removed from the frame and washed clean with warm water. New artwork can then be applied with zero material wastage.
Each OLED tile is modular, and additional units can be placed in any pattern along the wall. The frame has contacts on each of its four sides allowing for limitless customisation of the wall within the constraints of the power supply and OLED driver tile.
Breathing Patchwork can be used to display children's artwork, family patchworks, or any other artwork of personal and emotional relevance.Industrial Design, Interaction Design, Furniture Design2009 -
