	Ecosmart Fire: Zeta Fireplace John Dimopoulos’ Ecosmart Zeta Fireplace makes a dramatic focal point in any living space. Its striking elliptical form inspired its name. A smart fusion of timber, leather and stainless steel, Zeta sits on a brushed or polished stainless steel swivel base. The plywood structure of the fireplace is shaped from high frequency heated aluminium that melds into the faultless elliptical shape. The internal face of the plywood snaps with a thin stainless steel firebox insert and the exterior is finely leather-coated. Zeta is available in various colours such as ciocolatta, nero, ranch hide and latte. This fireplace heats 376sqft and is able to hold 5l of denatured alcohol. Contact: 2307 S.

	Future Flower: Wind-powered Metal Flower Part of a regeneration project for the waterfront at Widnes, London architect Tonkin Liu’s Future Flower has petals of perforated galvanised steel. It is an LED light, powered by small wind turbines at night. The steel structural frame is in the shape of an icosi-dodecahedron, onto which 120 perforated galvanised mild steel petals are attached. A central stalk with branches holds 60 low voltage LED lights within the volume of the flower, which are directed to different clusters of petals. Three mini off-grid wind turbines attached to the stem powers the light. The LEDs produce different intensities of red, based on the wind speed, ensuing in an everchanging and vibrant flower. In the absence of wind, the petals reflect the changing colours of the sky and the sun. As a universal symbol the flower embodies the optimism for the future of Widnes, while its performance embraces the future of renewable energy.

	Live Within Skin Live Within Skin is a wall system comprised of engineered layers of lightweight plant-growth medium. Designed by Greenmeme ecological designer Freya Bardell, the modular vertical garden integrates living vegetation with the built environment so that the walls can be proactively used to address issues of air quality, storm-water runoff, thermal insulation, and sound attenuation. Live Within Skin walls can serve both interior and exterior applications and may be adapted to most environmental conditions through plant species selection, integrated irrigation, and lighting. Made up of four main layers consisting of plants, outer surface, growth layers, and irrigation, the modular wall panels may be ‘pre-grown’ or planted on site. Whenever possible, the wall units also incorporate rainwater harvesting and catchments systems. The surfaces are designed with custom screen patterns tailored to the particular plants and growing conditions specified and are fabricated using digitally controlled water-jet or laser-cutting techniques.
	Moveable Wall Waste resulting from the traditional construction, demolition, and renovation of buildings contributes to twenty-five to thirty-three per cent of the total waste stream in North America, and fifteen per cent of that amount is drywall waste. Overburdened landfills and the consumption of virgin resources are significant problems that influenced Haworth to develop a sustainable moveable wall solution for the office market. Unitised construction allows Haworth’s moveable panels to be relocated without disassembly for faster installation and reconfiguration timelines. The various available wall coverings and finishes are made from rapidly renewable and recycled materials. The moveable wall system is also designed for disassembly, refinishing, or recycling at the end of its lifecycle in order to support Haworth’s “cradle to cradle” design rationale. State-of-the-art materials such as luminescent glass and light-refracting films are also available and bring daylight farther into the office interior, thus reducing typical lighting loads.
