#BeOpenDESIGN Design graduate Alexia Audrain has won last year's James Dyson Awards with her cocooning Oto chair that acts as a sensory deprivation chamber and helps people with autism self-soothe when they are experiencing sensory overload. People who struggle with processing sensory information such as noise, light or physical contact need to be hugged or held, which helps them focus on the limits of their own body. With its inflatable walls that consist of blow-up modules similar to those used in blood pressure monitors, the chair emulates the feeling of being embraced. Designwise, the chair consists of a beech wood shell and plush interior padded with sound-absorbing upholstery foam and fabric.

#BeOpenDESIGN US-based award-winning product designer Mutian Yu has developed a coconut opener that makes getting delicious and wholesome coconut water as easy as using a teapot. Named Coconut Faucet, the tool is simple in structure and can be inserted into the coconut in a breeze without making a mess and dirtying the drink.

#BeOpenDESIGN Cloud Garden nursery was developed by Tokyo-based architect Junya Ishigami with an ambition sought to recreate the feeling of walking in the clouds. Originally built for the offices, the 2,200sqm space on the 7th floor of a high-rise in Atsugi, Japan, was transformed into a day care and child support centre. The architect signed a series of curved partitions, all of them different, to slot between the existing bulky concrete columns dividing the floor. The result is a mysterious space created through multilayered tangling of many architectural elements that constantly changes itself. The cloud shapes running both across and along the space also help conceal unexpected beams and piping protruding out of the floor.

#BeOpenDESIGN Nigerian designer Nifemi Marcus-Bello has created a modular bamboo kiosk for local skateboarding company Wafflesncream. Called Waf Kiosk, the six-piece structure is located at the brand’s store in Lagos. While the kiosk is in use, clothes are hung above eye level to pay homage to 'Okrika,' Lagos' streetwear vendors who have created an architectural archetype to the selling of bootleg and secondhand clothing across the city. Tubular steel was used to construct the frame of each modular structure, while locally sourced bamboo was utilized to wrap around the final design.

#BeOpenDESIGN Patented “mushroom bricks” by San Francisco based designer Phil Ross are grown rather than manufactured. Ross grows mycelium, the fibrous roots that make up the vast majority of fungus lifeforms, in bags of sawdust, before drying them out and cutting them with extremely heavy-duty steel blades. The resulting bricks are incredibly durable, lightweight, waterproof, non-toxic, fire-resistant, and biodegradable. They have the feel of a composite material with a core of spongy cross grained pulp that becomes progressively denser towards its outer skin. The surface is incredibly hard, shatter resistant, and can handle enormous amounts of compression. A variety of different lacquers and finishes can also be applied to the outer layer of the bricks to seal them and give them a glossy finish. To demonstrate the potential of the material, Ross has built a showpiece called “Mycotecture”—a 6×6 mushroom brick arch from fungus Ganoderma lucidum, or Reishi mushrooms.

#BeOpenARCH The new Beijing Sub-Center Library by Norwegian architecture studio Snøhetta is going to be China's first self-supporting glass-facade project. It will take shape as a 16-metre-tall glass-enclosed structure characterized by a collection of tree-like columns that resemble a ginkgo-leaf canopy – a 290 million-year-old tree species that is native to China. Each of the columns will be fitted with technology that aids the library's climate, lighting, acoustic performance and rainwater disposal, while the roof they support will be topped with an integrated photovoltaic system that will it with renewable energy. Just as the exterior is intended to resemble the surrounding environment, the interior will comprise a “stepped landscape” of hill-like volumes, which the architects hope will invite people to sit down and take a break at any time on their journey through the building.

#BeOpenDESIGN Fascinated with the liquid state of clay, Paris-based artist Alissa Volchkova creates playful and colourful porcelain tableware. For these abstract, yet functional objects, aptly named the Liquid Series, the artist randomly pours dyed clay over the perfect round shape of a cast bowl or a plate until it solidifies and creates irregular edges. Once completed, the bowls can be used not only as decorative objects, but also as containers. Each one is unique in form and color, and stacking them on top of one another can create bespoke graphical compositions.

#BeOpenDESIGN Commissioned by the Japan-based company Creative Project Base to design a bookcase that invites people to wander around, architect Keigo Kobayashi has developed Curiosity Go Round, a multi-functional floor-to-ceiling piece of furniture that can host up to 2,500 books. The circular sculptural volume is defined by undulating tiers stacked on top of each other, creating storage for books and other items. Some of the boards are extruded to form single or bigger tables, standing desks, and benches. As its name suggests, the object is intended to arouse curiosity and creativity in its users. According to the studio, after it was installed, many people visited, picked up books, read, talked, and came up with ideas.

Containing also classrooms, offices and conference spaces, these spaces also house institutions and non-profits aiming to help them take the steps to self-sufficiency.

#BeOpenDESIGN Spanish studio Nagami has 3D printed a portable composting toilet using a filament made from discarded medical equipment from hospitals across Europe. In such a way, To.org foundation that commissioned the project attempts to solve two of our planet’s most pressing issues at once: the unequal access to clean sanitation in underserved communities and the accumulation of waste plastic in our oceans and landfills. The first prototype of the mobile toilet cubicle, which is currently being trialed on a building site in the Swiss Alps, was produced over the course of three days and comprises three parts – a teardrop-shaped body, a dramatic, double-curved sliding door and a collection bucket for solid waste that is composted so it can be used locally as a fertilizer.
