Another book post.

Another set of images from a book of mine, I was going through it for another project and I saw shapes and forms straight from the 50s. The book is called 'the eco-design
handbook', its products that within there development have had eco-design in mind and are made of materials that are organic and environmentally smart.

Some examples
















The design the same form as a 1950s sideboard. But the designers of this piece kept eco design in mind and made it with recyclable materials.





















A shopping trolley designed to encourage energy efficient shopping. Looking at the shape and form from the 50s and movements within the 50s, this is an later applied example.




















A cupboard, but it really reminded me of a fridge an all american big fridge. Made from just two materials and reduces energy in production, the shape is truely something from the 1950s.




















Lamps, the large one being of economical design, a great shape straight from the 1950s the second thin tall lamp, mimicks the spun fibre lamps of the 1950s however this is made from paper and bamboo.





















Hydrogen fuel cell car, which reduces emissions. To me though doesn't it look like a 1950s car toy. An later application of streamling.
