 peter mcdermott's forth bridge

Two design favorites (so, a two-for-one here): the striking design of the Forth Bridge ("the dinosaurs are coming/going!") and the minimalistic (in the style of the classic railway art of the 30's and 40's) expressive/impressive graphic prints of Peter McDermott.

 abeer seikaly's

This organic-looking tent (design/concept by Abeer Seikaly) provides all-weather shelter, while offering such amenities as energy/electricity (solar-powered, battery stored), "running" water (collection and distribution of water, courtesy of the tent's unique design), storage (again, as a by-product of the design), ventilation (again, the design…) and the benefit of natural light (through the controllable tent’s openings).

Its foldable nature/design and use of lightweight fabric implies ease of transport and deployment.

Oh! And it’s also easy on the eye!

The first jump has all the details, photos and schematics.
