Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec: Bivouac is a mid-career exhibition of work by two of the most exciting and innovative designers working today. Born and based in France, the Bouroullecs bring high-tech manufacturing ideas to standard furniture and design formats, such as the communal kitchen table and the basic dining chair, resulting in timeless, straightforward products devoid of trendy gimmicks.

'hidden vases' is a research project by rotterdam-based designer chris kabel exploring the possibilities of hiding a watering container.  originally for the spanish magazine plant journal, the aim of the design is to emphasize the flowers while keeping their source of water invisible.  similar to a chicken feeder, ceramic, plastic or glass canisters are turned upside down and placed on a surface, allowing only a small amount  of liquid through at a time. with the help of the chrome metal frame, the flowers are supported around the central vessel, hiding it.  the final goal of the project is to make a mass-produced vase based on the same concept.
