Although probably old news to some, I thought a posting on the Phillips Simplicity Event 2006 in London couldn’t be passed by. The expo introduced some concept products meant to simplify our lives through design and smart functionality. Examples include the Chameleon, which is a lamp shade that sets the mood of the room by changing colors to the one you ’show’ it, and the Aqua Duo, an all-included water treatment system that purifies water, heats/cools it, and dispenses it through a glowing thermos on your counter. There seems to be heavy use of calming, ambient lights in each of the products that give the high technology a soft edge and inviting feel. Definitely worth checking out.
