Concepts and products

that are changing the

rules of engagement in

the world of design

QR Code Jackets

While clothes tell a tale

about us, Julie Helles Erik-

sen has taken it to another

level with the QR code

woven jacket which uses

information from our social

media accounts to reveal

our mood. As the camera

phones are connected to

the jacket, QR codes reflect

our complex personalities.

3D Printed House

3D printing technology is cost-effective

and today, architects are using it to save

time and build real-life, liveable houses

with cement and carbon fibre.

Papier Maché

Japanese architect Kengo Kuma

has built a private museum using

sheets of wire-mesh etched on

paper. With screens creating the

interplay of light and shadow, the

texture and transparency is put

into effect by changing solutions

of mulberry and sunset hibiscus

in which this paper is soaked.

Negative

Space

Advertisers are now

creating contrasts

between the subject

and its background

to great effect. The

backdrop has been

brought to the

fore and the use of

negative space is a

big trend.
