Glow is a low-cost, low-maintenance, and low-tech solution for providing efficient, effective lighting to the developing world. The device uses phosphorescent (glow-in-the-dark) powder, which absorbs environmental light and slowly releases it when dark. Modern phosphorescent powder has a lifespan of up to 10 years and a glow that can last up to 6 hours! UV light isn’t even required to power the glow!

I am a big fan of designers that are proactive in putting themselves out there in the spotlight. It takes a good dose of courage to put your work in front of an esteemed jury comprising of more than 40 members! I am talking about the A’ Design Award, a platform that not only recognizes commendable works but also works with the designers to get them their deserved fame!

Here is a look at Ten Innovative Designs from this year’s A’ Design Award winners, that our YD team curated. View all winners here; view all categories here.

Much smaller than the average kitchen exhaust fan, what Nest lacks in size it makes up for in smart functionality. The oval-shaped fan hangs delicately over freestanding stoves without obtruding open space. The unit itself detects smoke with a sensor that triggers the vents to open and begin working, making it completely hands-free. The unique vent pattern is highly effective in absorbing smoke from 360° rather than only from directly below.
