BEE HOUSE

Be(e)diversity

Concept

United in diversity – living with bio diversity.
The gift is a window box, a micro habitation, encouraging daily interaction to promote and help the survival of diverse insects that are essential to our food production cycles. The gift, contained in its packaging, provides tools to naturally attract and protect helpful insects, which are in danger of extinction, but are fundamental for pollination and the natural food chain. It is to be seen as a bottom-up approach to promote biodiversity and a sustainable lifestyle in any domestic environment in our everyday activity.

Jury Statement

"Based on scientific research,BEE HOUSErepresents a complete message of biodiversity encompassing plant, animal and human life. The object brings us closer to nature and emphasises simple and essential ecological values in our modern life."

USELESS.energy

CONCEPT

I try to create consumer products that struggle to balance human lifestyles with the planet’slimits through a healthy and inspiring way. It is about communication, information and motivation. My products should remind and educate people to be aware of our wasteful behaviour in our daily routines and inspire to do something about it. I want to send out little, subtle impulses, which finally builds up a consciousness towards the important theme of responsibility for our planet.

The plug forthe power socket named USELESS, shall remind us that energy is also floating all the time, before you plug in everything without even noticing.

Jury Statement

"It is a clear message: use-less, nothing more needs to be said. It is an ideal educational manifesto. "
