BE OPEN develops its commitment to support emerging creative talents by running an online gallery, BE OPEN Art. Conceived as an online platform for discovering and collecting art, BE OPEN Art aims to provide an opportunity of global visibility to emerging artists who emphasize social consciousness, philosophical and aesthetical solutions for the wrongs of the contemporary world, yet have no patronage or financial opportunity to show their work to art professionals, investors or the general public.
Regular public votings will help select top artists out of the featured list, and the Artist of the Year will get a monetary prize from BE OPEN.

To celebrate the launch of a new sustainable store in Greenwich, UK, IKEA teamed up with local artists and designers for their Wildhomes for Wildlife project to create a series of incredible animal homes, such as insect towers, bat shelters and bird boxes, repurposed from the company's used furniture. The artist Rob Lowe, also known as Supermundane, has contributed a colourful and graphic DOM bird house built from an old Industriell shelving unit. The birdhouse features an entrance perfect for giving small birds access to the nesting box at the back.

If you share the values of UNās SDG 12 devoted to responsible consumption and production, check out the Capsule, a contemporary hourglass filled with microplastic instead of sand, by London-based industrial designer Brodie Neill. Microplastic is literally everywhere in the ocean, it has been discovered even at the deepest point of ocean, in Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean. The designer works with environmental agencies and beach combers, using plastic collected from these partnering sites in each individual piece. These locations are engraved on metal caps on either end of the hourglass.

Commissioned to develop a habitable, off-shore environment in the event of rising sea levels, the architecture firm BIG has envisioned Oceanix City, a floating settlement for 10,000 people, comprising hexagonal modules clustered in groups. The low-level buildings, planned to rise four to seven stories, would be constructed on land from locally sourced materials, such as wood and bamboo, after which they would be towed to sea and anchored in place. Like the islands themselves, the structures are designed to survive a category-five hurricane. The floating city would be self-sufficient due to a number of incorporated renewable energy resources, such as wind and water turbines and solar panels, as well as food production and farming facilities.

International design and innovation office Carlo Ratti Associati has collaborated with Mobility in Chain (MIC) to develop a new vision for the waterfront of Lugano, Switzerland. The project aims to physically connect Lugano and the lake, allowing the city to stretch out onto the water thanks to a newly created floating island connected to the historical waterfront designed by Pasquale Lucchini in 1863 by a new water navigation system. The rotating island would be accessible by the public via a series of boardwalks, and would host various public spaces, including a garden to preserve the biodiversity of Lake Lugano.

Aiming to reduce plastic pollution, Mexico-based design consultancy NOS developed the Everloop toothbrush concept. Instead of throwing the entire brush away, the team suggests replacing bristles. NOS came up with a clipping mechanism that allows the user to open and close the head of the toothbrush to replace a new set of sustainable bristles. The bristles are made of bamboo fibre, which makes them 100% compostable when the used set is disposed of, while the body of the brush is made of recycled plastic from discarded toothbrushes. Each toothbrush comes with eight sets of bristles which makes the Everloopās lifespan a minimum of 2 years.

Arctic Bath is a new kind of a floating hotel on Swedenās Lule River encompassing a circular main building and a series of accompanying cabins. Designed by architects Bertil Harstrƶm and Johan Kauppi to imitate a jam of logs drifting down the river, Arctic Bath is a remote year round getaway with a spa, hot and cold baths, saunas, shops, and a restaurant. In the ever-sunny summer months, the entire hotel floats upon the water's surface, while in winter, the structure locks in place upon the frozen river, providing an ideal platform for watching the northern lights in winter.

Hereās a story to inspire. Amsterdam-based eyewear company Ace&Tate has collaborated with Plasticiet, a Dutch sustainable materials startup, for the new showroom in Antwerp, Belgium. Plasticietcollects plastic waste and turns it into sheets of material that look like traditional stone such as marble and granite. The Ace&Tateās interior is clad in terrazzo made with colourful chips of recycled polyethylene, a material widely used for industrial and construction appliances as well as domestic products such as food packaging, kitchenware and toys. Nearly 1,000 kilograms of reclaimed plastic sourced locally were used for the project, panels of plastic terrazzo covering the walls, arches, shelves and counters of the shop. This type of plastic becomes less viscous during the melting process, which allows the chunks to retain their original shapes, so that the shop visitors can indulge themselves into finding familiar products.

The project by LAVA, an architecture studio with offices in Sydney, Stuttgart and Berlin, has won the international competition that invited architects to design the Central Park in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
As the site was always about transportation, being home to south-eastern Asiaās first train station, the design references this history and future mobility. The concept of the 16-hectare park will feature elevated undulating walkways that replicate the position of the 19th century railway tracks, these metaphoric ārailway linesā also connecting to an underground shopping area linked to Vietnamās first soon-to-be-opened metro station.
Artificial plants will complement the existing landscape as well as provide shelter and harvest water and energy. Other spaces of the park include a sculpture garden, an outdoor art gallery, water features, sport zones, playgrounds and music pavilions. The construction is due to start in 2020.

Ribbonesia is an artist duo formed by the Japanese illustrator Baku Maeda and creative director Toru Yoshikawa who create mind-blowing art works from ribbons. Believing that ribbons hold the power to be more than just a decorative accessory, the artists transform the humble material into intricate sculptural pieces, taking advantage of its pliability and strength to shape dragons, creatures, face masks or floral landscapes. Some works look very simple and understated like āOrigamiā, others are tangled and complicated balancing on the borderline between paintings and sculptures.
