Wolfgang Feierbach's Amazing 1960's Futuristic Psychedelic Plastic House...

The 1960's was a crazy time for some and the young German designer Wolfgang Feierbach was determined to bring some colour back into the post-war era.
His Kunststoffhaus FG 2000 was constructed in the late 1960's and was one of a few prefabricated fibreglass and plastic houses designed and built at that time.
He designed most of the furniture with Dieter Rams and the company Rohm and Haas also contributing to the futuristic interior.
And the carpet on the ceiling?
God knows what drugs inspired that concept but they were designed by Verner Panton.
Thankyou Verner.
We've lived in some interesting times...

The Colim Caravan. A Simple And Clever Concept...

The brainchild of German designer Christian Susana, the Colim (Colours Of Life In Motion) Camper is a simple and very clever example of thinking outside the square.
It's a very intelligent idea for the mobile home,
a combination of the caravan, fifth wheeler and motorhome.
The Colim has the advantages of a caravan
and the advantages of a motorhome all neatly morphed onto one creative concept.
The little detachable vehicle seats two and is reminiscent of the 'Smart Car' you've seen on the roads.
For now the Colim is only a concept but I'd expect someone will manufacture it soon.
There's more here...
