magnetische raam gordijnen

vergeet standaard vormen, stylen en maten. Dit gordijn is van boven tot onder gemaakt uit stukjes die magneten bevatten. Zo kan je het gordijn omhoog hangen in elke denkbare positie.

Het is modulair, moder en geometrisch.

Picture a long white designer curtain – and this is likely the last image that will come to mind. Forget standard shapes, styles and sizes. From top to bottom, each magnetic tab makes it so this clever hanging curtain stays in any position you could possibly imagine along a whole bay window area or even an entire room.

Modern, modular and geometric, no one would guess the at the multifunctional capacities of these curtains designed by Florian Krautli. The spiderweb of repeating shapes are deceptively simple – the lines connecting each magnet are made to bend and fold so the magnets can stick together.

Though unfortunately still only a prototype design at this point, these pictures clearly illustrate the amazing capacities of such flexible designs – they can be used to selectively divide spaces, block and allow light and add a creative and interactive dimension to rooms and windows.

rubber glas

het gelijkt op glas, het breekt zoals glas, maar het voelt aan als rubber.

Bedenk de mogelijkheden op het gebied van speciale effecten en veiligheid.

Het heeft hetzelfde patroon als glas als het breekt.

"Rubber glass" is een niet-giftig silicone dat gelijkt op glas.

What if you could smash your hand through glass without sustaining any injuries? With products like this Rubber Glass, you can create special effects that simulate glass without the inherent dangers. Unlike other transparent plastics, this one breaks with the same spiderweb, shattering pattern as glass.

This is a polyurethane that enables you to create glass and ice-like objects without the hassles of conventional breakaway plastic products. Unlike other plastics, this product cures at room temperature; once cured, it is odorless and easy to handle. You mix it up and shape it into whatever you need.

Rubber Glass is a non-toxic silicone that simulates broken glass or ice. Once you combine the two bottles, you let it cure to form a soft, clear rubber, and then crumble it. The film Die Another Day used over 1.5 tons of it, and several other films rely on it to create broken glass and ice chips.

Both products accept opaque or translucent tints. You can formulate them to become harder or less brittle. Some possible applications:

• Encapsulated circuits
• Protect an item for handle or shipping, easy to remove later
• Use for building product prototypes
• A lens that focuses by deforming shape

form holding sheet

Dit materiaal is in feite een hele zware aluminium folie.

Hier zit een zwarte coating op. Het materiaal is te plooien en de coating blijft erop.

Het kan op zijn eigen blijven staan en kan elke vorm aannemen.

Er kan zelfs op geschreven worden.

Essentially, this is a heavy-weight aluminum foil that has been coated black. The paint does not chip as it is bent and formed.

This thin metal sheet can be folded or crumpled and holds any shape. It can be made to stand up. It can be written on like a piece of paper. It can be embedded (such as between two layers of fabric).

This opaque material was originally developed to block light for photography and film making. It is able to stand up on its own without attaching to a brace. Its black surface prohibits light from reflecting, and it can withstand the high temperatures.

water absorberende polymeren

gelijkt op sneeuw als het water geabsorbeerd is.

The absorption of this polymer is so high that a little bit spread on the face of a quarter will absorb 2 oz of water. Of the many types of super-absorbent polymers, this particular one looks and feels exactly like snow when it comes in contact with water.

Super absorbent polymers (sodium polyacrylate) absorb water many times their weight (up to 800 times!). This is done by osmosis—water moves from outside the polymer (less concentrated) towards inside the polymer (more concentrated). Water rushes in through the walls of these super absorbent polymers (SAPs), swelling them up. The most common use of SAPs is in diapers.

You may be familiar with SAPs from diapers, but were you aware of the range of possibilities with this material? Using the same base material but tweaking the physical and chemical properties, you can dramatically change the amount of absorbency, strength of the gel once absorbed, resistance to salt, amount of expansion, and more. For example, it could be formulated to bounce like a ball, release water under pressure, or fluff like snow.

Milieuvoordeel

Het vilt voor deze scheidingswanden bestaat uit het afval van PET- flessen, wat de afvalberg reduceert. Afval wordt hier geupcycled tot een volwaardig kwaliteitsproduct. De binnenstructuur bestaat uit bio-afbreekbaar plaatmateriaal. Door de vlakke onderdelen wordt het transportvolume van deze producten geminimaliseerd.

Financieel aspect

De prijs van de Buzzispace- scheidingswanden is concurrentieel met klassieke scheidingswanden.

Materiaalbesparing

PET- flessen worden vermalen tot kunststofschilfers die nadien thermisch tot vezeldraden worden getrokken. Van deze vezels wordt het vilt gemaakt voor de kamerschermen en het prikbord. Er wordt geen primair materiaal gebruikt voor de ontwikkeling van de panelen. Het gerecycleerde materiaal kan nadien weer hergebruikt worden voor dezelfde functie en ook de ritsen zijn recycleerbaar.
Zo ontstaat geen afval!
