Designed by a team of architects led by Stephen Kanner, the Malibu 5 home is a beautiful example of blending shapes with sustainable and eco-friendly technology. Facing the beautiful Pacific Coast, the home is designed to reduce energy consumption by using the sea-breeze for natural cooling and solar energy for conventional energy needs. Equipped with solar panels that produce ample energy and natural ventilation options, it sports spacious interiors with contemporary design and relies on a very efficient base for all its insulation and heating needs during nights. It’s a good lesson. It’s simple, stylish and sustainable architecture. – via

Designed by Studio Smeets Design in Amsterdam – Lili Lite is a reading light, a bookmark and a bookshelf combined into one smart product. The most interesting part of this multifunctional product is that if you want to turn off the light, you’ll have to put an open book on the shelf as pictures, and a sensor will turn off the light for you. When the book is picked up again, the light automatically turns on. Lili Lite also has a switch to turn the light on and off manually. Lili Lite is a witty design that combines function and style in a simple but ingenious way. For those of you would would like to purchase the Lili Lite you can get it from here for 119 euro. – Via

Designed by Gioia Meller Marcovicz the Monolith Table is a masterpiece of steel featuring a folding dining table and ten perfectly fitted (also folding) chairs to go along with it. It transforms from a long, slim sculpture into a dining table and 10 chairs. The idea behind this table is quite original and looks good, but I think the materials ( steel or metal ) were not so inspired. I think this would be better in wood or bamboo. This table could double as a bar if you want, just pull out the chairs on one side, don’t unfold the table. – Via – Gizmodo & Bookofjoe

It’s that simple, that some things are built to last. Take the Silvelox Garage Doors for example, which are premium garage doors that even the celebrities would use to protect those expensive cars they own. Devoted to design, with vision and passion for aesthetics and building great products, the Italian garage door manufacturer has an experience of over four decades making them one of the best choices for your garage doors. Add to all these that the wooden doors are being carved, painted and put together entirely by hand, and you’ll get the idea. We’re pretty sure quality comes at a price, though.
