THE BIRDS, BATS & BEES (27.06.08)
The BBQ Bat House is a fully functional bat house created from black plastic sausage packaging trays.
Internationally renowned artists and designers were commissioned to create hand-made prototype habitats for the rapidly declining numbers of bird, bat and bee species in UK urban areas. These bird, bee and bat houses were created using Phillips de Pury & companys waste such as cardboard, crates, invitations, catalogues, plastics and other recycled materials. Over 45 prototypes were auctioned on 24.06.08 in London at Phillips de Pury & Company, the proceeds of which will benefit Adventure Ecology’s Foundation, Sculpt the Future.
Participating artists and designers are Tomoko Azumi, Jurgen Bey, Martino Gamper, David Harrison, Stuart Haygarth, Henry Krokatsis, Max Lamb, Peter Marigold, Tom Luis Berrios Negron, Tom Price, Raw Edges, Rolf Sachs, Sir Paul Smith, Michael Sodeau, Marcus Tremento, Gavin Turk and Christopher Williams.

MILLENNIUM (2004)
The original prototype is made from 1000 exploded party poppers collected (on 01.01.00) after the Millennium celebrations in London. Each popper is suspended on a line from a platform above. The sculptural shape sways and moves like an organic form when hit by a breeze of air. Although this original light is a ‘one off’ piece due to the narrative it is recreated using new party poppers. The multi-coloured version is created from blue, green, red, yellow and white poppers. There is also a black edition created purely from black poppers.

TIDE (2004)
The original Tide chandelier is part of a larger body of work based on the collection of ‘man made’ debris washed up on a specific stretch of Kent coastline. Stuart Haygarth has been collecting material over many years and the work is still in progress. The material collected is sorted and categorized and several individual pieces of work were produced.
The Tide chandelier is created from clear and translucent objects, primarily made of plastic. Each object is different in shape and form, yet they come together to produce one sphere. The sphere is an analogy for the moon which effects the tides which in turn wash up the debris.

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.

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

The Vertical Garden, known as Le Mur Végétal in French, was conceived after many observations in natural environments. The Vertical Garden relies on a new way to grow plants without any soil.
The Vertical Garden can be implemented outdoor or indoor, in any climatic environment. The plant species selection is mainly set according to the prevailing climate conditions. For indoor location, an artificial lighting is usually required. Watering and fertilization are automated.
The Vertical Garden acts as:
-
Lowering energy consumption, protecting the building from cold in winter, providing natural cooling system in summer.
-
Valuable for shelter biodiversity in the city.
