“Life within Objects” is a design that provides us a new way to interact with animals and plants. Put forward by Spanish-based designer Martín Azúa, the chair integrates a plant pot and an animal shelter with a seating device. Made of recyclable polyethylene with the rotomolding technique, the chair is ideal for both indoors and outdoors use, therefore allowing you to live a harmony life with your turtle, rabbit and your plants.

Welcome to the Five-Stars Hotels made from cardboards…

Designed by Keung Caputo, these boxes would offer you a luxurious resort, because each of them is created with a cardboard bed, pillow and dedicate interior decorations. Four different themes are available for you to choose from. But the biggest problem with the cardboard hotels may be that no smoking is permitted if you want to be safe…Just kidding.

How to set up tabernacles is an urgent problem to those who lose their homes in catastrophes. As the portable tabernacle can be moved discretionarily by motor vehicle, livestock, and manpower, it shows a high flexibility required by the stricken region, which is a great help to the disaster victims.

May everyone has tried swings, how many of them once lived in a swing-like cabin? Rather few. So let’s show you a real one. Inspired from swing, the designer hangs up a wooden house in the air, which can keep shaking all the time. Therefore, it’s quite suitable for sailors rather than people with carsickness.

This concept is designed for tramps. Except for conventional functionality of traditional cart, it can also be used as a shelter.

Because of the unique collapsible structure, by puting it upside down, a tramp can sleep under it at night.
