The idea is to have furniture that can be changed to suit a variety of needs while taking up the smallest amount of space possible. Such furniture will consist of a soft, flexible fabric, a central hinge, and an industrial zipper. It could be altered as the need arises, from a single bed to a cozy nook, and the side panels could even be raised to create a private space or dressing room.

A sleek new hybrid lighting design will use both natural light and solar powered LED's to light interior spaces. The light will be created to take advantage of natural sunlight and the potentials of fiber optic cables. The light will consist of a parabolic collector lens installed on the roof, which will focus the light through UV and infrared filters and on through a fiber optic cable to the hemispherical bottom lens. LED lights under the shade will provide light after the sun...

1. Remember those "mood rings"? They interpreted your mood based on your temperature. I'd like to see a faucet that contains a simple system for relaying the temperature of the water to the user. The water nearest to the end of the faucet is all that matters here..I've noticed my son is in the habit of touching the stem of the faucet before washing his hands in order to tell the temperature of the water, and to avoid burning himself. How about a visual representation? 2. I'd like to see a...

Why not design a microwave that can fit in a space the size of a drawer? The drawer sized microwave will use an aluminum blade to replace the microwave's rotating dish, and the hollow, stainless steel door will hold the electronics. A magnetic switch will turn the microwave off instantly and prevent accidental opening. The microwave will be controlled by a capacitive touch screen on borosilicate glass.

The idea is to develop a water reclamation system that will recycle bathroom sink water to use for flushing the toilet, which could save up to 6000 gallons of water each year. The system will consist of a box under the sink that can hold up to 5.5 gallons of used sink water and a pump which will transfer the grey water to the toilet's water supply. Such a system is supposed to save up to 65% of potable water per flush.

Do you often want to bring in your daily life a piece of something new, interesting and unusual? I suggest paying attention to the exotic, sometimes confusing cultures of the faraway lands. These cultures are often a source of great ideas which can be applied for different interior styles creation. The Japanese interior is the most popular today. Many modern cafes, offices, houses or rooms are designed in the Japanese style. But sometimes it is enough to use some Japanese interior...

Oil lamps are still widely used in spite of the fact that they are toxic and not environmentally safe. My idea is to use solar lamps instead of oil lamps. Solar lamps work 6 hours and above; they are available for all people who don't have reliable source of electricity. Solar lamps have changeable solar batteries which are environment-friendly as they are recyclable. Lamps have brightness regulator, they are water- and heat-resistant and can even be used below -4 °F and above 131°F.

There's this big fat wall sitting in front of my kitchen window (it's probably the same wall you have in front of your toilet window, or someone else can see from his sleeping room window). "My" wall is only a couple of feet away from the kitchen window, but it's far enough so I can't touch it when I lean out of the window (and I wouldn't want to try it as Im living on the fourth floor). Still the wall really looks like I should make some cool use of it. If the wall was made of steel,...

I'd like to see window adhesives to cover the entire window. Ideas could be a stained glass effect, or fall leaves, animals, etc.

I used to make furninture I had a modern spray set-up where the fluid was forced out of the carbided nozzle by physical pressure not by air (Lincoln makes this). The spray salesman at the time and me figured that it would be possible to make a slurry of cement and spray that also. Now you construct a large rubber bladder, like the bladder of a football, but this one ten feet around and in a bullet shape about ten foot tall. Then you blow up the bladder and you spray on some cement...
