Behind the ‘East-Meets-West’ wall clock by Kit Men stands a creative design idea: the blending of two cultures. From far away the two separate clocks seem to have some incomprehensible art forms on the margins, but as you see the product up-close, this changes and the zodiac characters are visible and clear. This is exactly what the designer himself intended: “up close each zodiac symbol is clearly visible, the dual-time function is clearly apparent with the symbols of the Chinese zodiac on the left depicting time in the East while the symbols from the zodiac on the right presenting the time in the West. Moving further away the image begins to transform from zodiac symbols to classically intricate picture of decorative motifs”.
The clock comes in two versions so you can choose the one that goes the best with your interior. The dimensions 35.5 x 81.3cm are medium, so establishing a place for this modern clock will not be an issue. For getting in contact with the designer, you can follow this link.

These fashionable and easy to install bathtubs come from Duravit, a company that produces bathroom furniture for more than two hundred years. With their experience, it is no wonder that these do-it-your-self bathtubs are so appreciated worldwide. The panels around the tub are elegant and sophisticated. Their exterior can be custom made so it could feet with your bathroom design. But being fashionable is not what these items are about. Above all, function is particularly relevant. The panels are as easy to install as they are to remove, almost no effort is involved. We quote from the site of the manufacturers: “Assembly is easy. First, the installer lines up the panels, which are then joined by turning the supplied hexagonal rod 90°. This is made simple thanks to the aid of the provided EasyClick open-ended spanner. Next, the panelling is fitted onto the tub via insertion of the EasyClick tool between the edge of the tub and the panels as well as an additional 90° turn of the rod”. For ordering this product you can contact Duravit by following this link.- via

This interesting stool was designed following the creative patterns of Gaudi, the famous Spanish architect. Gaudi’s plans for building churches impressed millions of people throughout the decades, so why not make the most of them and include them in modern design?
The stool comes from Bram Geenen, a young designer from The Netherlands. Its shape was created “by making a model of hanging chains, so letting gravity determine the strongest and most logical shape for withstanding forces”. The chair was a part of a project that focused on the issue of lightweight products. You will find more interesting projects on Bram’s site and you can also get in contact with him by following this link. Although the design is highly creative, the question of ergonomics comes to mind. This stool is great to have around in a commercial center or in your home for those times you have too many guests, but otherwise it does not look very comfortable.

Renewable energy and alternative sources of energy are some of the buzz words that we are hearing daily. The fact that the principles of sustainability are embraced by the design industry is remarkable. These solar roof tiles are an example of how some designs can be creative and environmental friendly at the same time. SRS Energy is the company that has taken design to another level. The tiles are completely embedded in the design, so it is basically impossible for your neighbors or anybody else for that matter to tell the difference.
We quote from the site of the manufacturers: “SRS Energy roofing tiles are designed to capture and convert sunlight into cost-saving electricity without compromising aesthetics. The tiles are offered as an integrated upgrade to a traditional roofing purchase. Added to the protection and curb appeal expected from a premium roofing system, homeowners are able to capitalize on solar electricity as sustainable value”.
The roof with the embedded tiles can currently be purchased only in USA . However, you can find out more information or get in contact with the firm or fill in a contact form here.
