The THINK City is a zero emissions battery electric vehicle (BEV) built on a dedicated, lightweight BEV platform, and designed as a modern urban car. It can travel at highway speeds of up to 110 Km/hr and cover 160 kilometers on a single charge (via any 220V household outlet), with zero local emissions.
During its development, the THINK City has successfully completed a tough series of very thorough safety, testing and validation procedures.

The Plumen Range is a series of low energy light bulbs that transform a traditionally uninspiring, everyday product, into a beautiful object.
Hulger hopes to inspire people to buy and use CFL bulbs (or low energy light bulbs) through desire, rather than obligation. This company believes that people have a lot to offer and should be celebrated, not ignored.
So far Hulger has produced three prototype designs and the reaction has been universally positive. Their first design have joined the very prestigious permanent collection at MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) in New York, while the second has been featured at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The Times, The Boston Globe, ICON, Architects Journal, Design Week and Surface have all featured the Plumen.
The next step is to make one accessible to the public. In 2010, Hulger will launch the first mass manufactured version of the Plumen Range.

Nowadays, to save energy is one of the most pressing problem. This is already possible with the actual technology, such as low consumption led lights and solar panels; but actual products seem to be too far from people’s uses and overall they require not so much interaction to aware people about the problem.
Energy Bucket is an innovative product that comes from the habit of the past to collect potable water at the well using buckets. In fact, “Energy Bucket” requires to be exposed by the user under the solar light to recharge (thanks to the solar panels on top), so that it can be carried anywhere and illuminate once night (it works with Wide Beam Superbright LEDs housed on the plastic bucket). A honest exchange between man and nature: I do something to have something back, clean light!

L’Atelier des enfants at the Centre Pompidou has been up and running from 10th July in the new area designed by Mathieu Lehanneur. It now offers a more spacious setting (300m2), which is better adapted to activities for children aged from 2 to 12 years. With its rounded corners, a direct allusion to a skate park as recreational scenery, the preview last Saturday confirmed the delighted ease with which the children became immersed in the venue!
"I wanted to give children the immediate impression on entering the Ateliers of an area without limits or constraints. I wanted them to feel like they were on a huge white sheet that needed to be filled. In all of my first sketches, I had an image of a skate-park in my mind for children-artists: an object-space which is experienced like a game. A far cry from the school universe. Floors and walls blend into one here and everything can be filled. Here, everything necessary to create is accessible but nothing is visible. Here the areas are so open that everything needs to be invented…" Mathieu Lehanneur

An outside lamp drawn from our home surroundings. The gently sweeping Dutch windmills were actually perfect generators on their own. With that in mind, we made this lamp. With every breeze it stores energy, enough to enjoy every summer evening until forever. Contemporary vs traditional, art vs functionality. Shaped by its function the big prop spans over one meter on each side. It is a self supporting light source that marks the landscape.
Material: high end sail fabric, stainless steel, wood
Size: 240x215x38 cm
