2. BUBBLE GLASS
Microscopic bubbles that form in a material called metallic glass can signal serious trouble. In this
normally high-strength material, bubbles may indicate that a brittle breakdown is in progress.
When glass is mentioned, many people think of window panes. But to scientists, a glass is a
material that is cooled quickly from a liquid to a solid so that its atoms do not arrange themselves
into orderly crystal lattices, as most metals do. A nearly random arrangement of atoms gives
glasses distinctive mechanical and magnetic properties. Unlike window panes, most metallic
glasses are not transparent or easy to break, but they do often spring back to their original shape
after being bent. Still, when powerful enough force is applied, they can break.
Maybe used for decorative purposes or for partitions in interior spaces or fixture cladding.

3. GRASS
Moss and green grass are excellent
organic decorating materials that please with
soft texture and delight with beautiful color,
connecting modern home interiors with the
nature.
Bathroom mat with natural moss show
practical and not always practical, but creative
and surprising ways for bringing green grass
into everyday life.

4. FEATHERS
A do-it-yourself wall décor. Feathers needn’t be used only for accessories or ink
pens. Thinking out of the box found an application for these feathers as a wall
decorative element to add creativity and fun to the interior space.

5. CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTING
WALLPAPER
Ugly and outdated carbon monoxide
detectors spoil the aesthetics of an
interior space. The invention of the
carbon monoxide wallpaper is a perfect
fusion of function and design, using
modules fixed to paper that can detect
VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)
and actually filter them at the same
time.
As the air pollutants accumulate, the
modules spin creating the pleasant
visual experience, and a warning
system at the same time.

6. WATER BALLOON INSPIRED NEON
LIGHTS
Fluorescent neon is a deceiving thing.
What appears to be subtle shades
instantly change to vibrant luminescent
lights in the dark. These stimulating and
dizzying lights effects can capture
people's attention from a distance.
If it had sensors to switch it on and of it
could be made like an interactive
element that glows when the person is in
front of it or accidently brushes pass it (if
installed on a wall).
