Concrete Canvas Shelter

U.K.-based company Concrete Canvas recently added a new product to their line of concrete/fabric based utilities, the Concrete Canvas Shelter. Based on the same concept as the company's first product Concrete Cloth, the shelter uses the concrete/fabric hybrid that, when activated with water, can be molded into a desirable shape before it hardens






To get the right shape, the refuge comes with a prefab system designed to incorporate the Concrete Cloth into a quick heavy-duty shelter in lieu of tents. Their CCS25 model can be set up by two people (with no training) in less than an hour and, after drenching it with water, the structure expands, giving you a hardcore shelter ready to go within 24 hours









The special fabric transforms from a pliable, easy-to-store bundle into a fireproof, waterproof and potentially bulletproof shelter. Designed specifically to fit into natural surroundings, it can be covered with earth, sand or snow to offer insulation and extra protection from the elements or enemies. Once hardened, the shelters also have lockable doors, providing a higher level of security than traditional fabric structures





Since these units are semi-permanent (a minimum design life of 10 years) and essentially instant, the applications are great for both industrial and military organizations. They provide quick secure housing or storage for personnel and, due to they modular design, easily link together to create larger spaces. For housing staff after a natural disaster or establishing a quick, sturdy medical center, this product could be life saving.






Currently the largest models offer 54 square meters of operating space and are only available by email order

E.R.P part 2

I have decided to concentrate my project around designing a concession for Sportswear brand , Stone Island. I have admired the brand for a long time, and my hero aitor throup has collaborated with them and is part of the CP company legacy.
I have decided to go down this route, because it is one i would genuinely love to become a part of.

The selling point of stone island is their conceptual design. The clothing to look at is relatively simple but the interesting ideas and collaborative conceptual projects are the exciting twists.

Rob Steen is marvellous, he illustrates animals, mainly from his head, or a mixture of real and surreal...
I think these creatures are so exciting and imaginative, i want to draw some...

The Ph scale.
Acid-Alkaline
1-14
This could potentially be a really interesting concept to work from with regard to numbering products/having a scale of colour chart. Naming each colour and variation on product after part of the scale.
I just thought of this, could be part of my logo/branding for future ideas...

Taste explosion






I just really like these, i want to drink my morning coffee in the sad one!

"Ive got a soft spot in my heart for objects that transform from one thing into a completely different thing. Transformers, if you will. Designer Rohan Chhabra has a few objects that do that, and not only that, they’ve got some philosophy behind them too. This set of objects goes by the name “Embodying Ethics.” You’ll find yourself getting emotional witnessing the change between a pair a pants a cow leg. For real."
