Office table tops are bombarded with a lot of paper work, personal things, laptops and all the other stuff people like to place on top.  These things usually seem to stay there forever which really reduces the working surface of the table predominately.

Here's a neat looking office table design that promises to tidy up a messy table top that is a usual occurrence on most offices nowadays. 

Now here's another design inspired from old traditional practices frankly saying - 'who says old concepts doesn't have any more room in this modern world'. 

Designed by Mey Kahn and Boaz Kahn, this screen and cooling system is a fusion of two Arabic design and concept, permitting air to pass through while cooling the room at the same time.

The ongoing quest of using alternative energy sources for electricity has already made it through the design, architecture and engineering community.  A lot of architectural and engineering designs nowadays are integrating the use of solar panelling and wind power in to the structure.  The bridge above is one of those.  Designed by Italian designers Francesco Colarossi, Giovanna Saracino and Luisa Saracino, this bridge promises to help power approximately 15,000 homes.
