Най-еколкогичните подови покрития

Дървесина:
Паркетът, независимо от каква дървесина е направен, е едно от популярните покрития за под - той може да ви служи добре дълги години, приятен е на допир и е добра изолация. А когато се повреди, може лесно да се възстанови.

направени от керамика, стъкло или камък, но с голям процент рециклирани материали.
Снимката вляво е мой проект на кухня, в която почти всички материали са екологични: плочките на пода, мозайката от стъклени плочки на стената, плотовете от синтетичен камък (направен е от естествени материали, споени с безвредни смоли), тапетите от естествени влакна, шкафовете, направени от качествен ламинат, който има сертификат за безвредност.

Линолеум:

прави се от ленено масло, пигменти и борови смоли; изобретен преди повече от 150 години, линолеумът остава един от най-'зелените' продукти за пода, защото се изработва от възстановими природни ресурси, няма вредни токсични излъчвания, не позволява развитие на бактерии и се поддържа много лесно.

Корк:

произвежда се от кората на коркови дървета, а много често и от други коркови продукти; еластичен, шумопоглъщащ материал, подходящ за повечето помещения, включително и за бани (където инсталираните плочки се покриват с полиуретан или силикон).

В кухнята вляво, която направих за едно младо семейство, също всички материали са екологични - подът е от корк, залепен направо върху старото покритие от теракотни плочки. Така подът бързо и лесно бе обновен и освен това стана малко по-мек и уютен. Плотовете и гърба на стената между шкафовете са от гранит, а шкафовете - от качествен ламинат.

A lamp as delicate as a flower

The decorative Heracleum LED lamp was inspired by the Heracleum plant and is definitely one of the most delicate lamps, created with a very interesting technique of coating conductive layers and with white leaves/lenses that ramify from one branch creating a very thin and delicate natural structure. This design is not possible with normal wires.

 Here is the story of its creation by the designer Bertjan Pot:

 "Heracleum arrived at Moooi as a fantasy. I had the wish to light many LED-lights at the same time. I experimented with bundles of electricity wires that I shaped into a branch structure. During the development of the design it just seemed that too much soldering was required. Then Marcel Wanders had the 'luminous' idea to use his ELECTROSANDWICH® to make the design possible. The structure was coated with a plastic layer for isolation and on top of that a conductive layer to supply the LEDs with power. Using this technique it was possible to create a structure more slender than I had hoped for when I started the project. The technique and design are perfect for each other." 

The new version Heracleum II also provides unique and sparkling illumination and includes a new LED that makes it much more efficient and allows endless technical possibilities. It is offered in copper or nickel and is dimmable. 
A great accent piece for any interior using one of the most eco-friendly types of lighting - LEDs!

Green plastics and a lamp that you can eat

 BITE ME Desk Lamp is an algae-based plastic, created by American designer Victor Vetterlein from vegetable glycerin and agar, a gelatin that comes from sea algae. If the lamp becomes damaged, simply wipe off any dust or fingerprint residue and submerge the Bite Me in purified water for an hour to soften up. “The consistency after soaking the lamp in water for an hour is like wet Gummy Bears,” says Vetterlein. source
