Hasta La Ideas

Swiss INOUT design shows a line of both fun and smart ideas that could enhance the cityscape. The Swiss designers featured show great inventiveness. Axel Jaccard, for instance, designed the water trough (above) that can be fitted to the end of a downspout. Another is the hanging garden by Yves Fidalgo; a kind of window shutter with a planter that allows plants to become a sunscreen when the plants grow. Adrien Roveros bicycle parking takes the same space as a car, but allows parking for six bikes. Sibylle Stoeckli uses wood from old packing crates to create an urban wood floor, and Damien Regamey has made enclosements like colorful necklaces.brbr
