Bearbot, a cute universal remote at your command.

The WatchMe (Watchus cyclopus) is a newfound species, a (h)armless cyclops monster endemic to the south of Luxembourg.

WatchMe has been selectively bred for months for various behaviors, cord management capabilities, and physical attributes.

It has no ears and has very poor eyesight, however, it can be greatly improved by peculiar spectacles called « SmartWatch ».

The domestic WatchMe performs many roles for people, such as decorating a bedside, companionship, and charging a wearable technology.

The WatchMe breeding stopped due to its unsuccessful Kickstarter adoption campaign.

Electree

Electree is a modern sculpture imitating a bonsai. Its leaves are small photovoltaic panel.

It allows to recharge your mobile devices without using any other energy than light.

Electree is delivered in modules which you assemble to create your own tree. This method makes it possible to produce an infinity of different shapes. You can model it according to your wishes and at the same time optimize the orientation of the photovoltaic cells and thus increase its effectiveness.

The 27 solar panels installed at the tip of the branches capture the solar energy which is then stored in the 2 500 mAh battery (an iPhone holds a 1 500mAH battery, for instance) located under the panel of the bonsaÏ.

Once charged, this accumulator feeds a USB port.

Electree can only be placed inside, ideally placed close to a window to capture a maximum amount of solar energy throughout the day.

Electree was produced in a very limited edition. It is no longer available for sale.

Electree mini

Inspired by bonsaï trees and fractal patterns found in nature, Electree mini provides solar-derived power to environments typically void of renewable energy.

Electree Mini stores solar energy in small batteries. You can use them directly to power your appliances, like a remote control.

Two modules can be connected to Electree to extend its functionalities:

• Electree + USB provides a 1A standard USB port. If you live in a sunny country, you’ll be able to recharge your smartphone everyday. Electree mini is also a formidable companion for your smart watch, even with a cloudy weather you'll always be able to recharge it.
• Electree + LED turns your solar tree into a color changing lantern. It’s completely autonomous, since solar cells are light sensors, the module will automatically light up at dusk. To change color, you just have to rotate the Electree mini.

OctoCube

Fractal structures are often used to maximize performance of exchange surfaces, that’s why the radiator shape is inspired by the Peano space filling curve.

On the contrary to what it might seem; this complicated volume is quite easy to build. Create a first module by assembling 8 plumbing joins while performing each time a 90° rotation. Repeat the operation to create 8 modules of 8 joins that you will assemble together to build a cube of 64 joins. You will need 8 cubes of 64 joins to reach the end layout.

The final 34 cm³ structure achieves an excellent heat output thanks to a 2 m² surface area.

Plume

Plume is a fountain pen inspired from a quill and the origami art (uncompleted fold). It’s a single metallic sheet with an ergonomic grip.

Cabane

Laquenexy Fruit Gardens Hut

This hut is unique and connected to the garden.

With a high degree of discretion in the design, it was possible to detach the idea of ​​the traditional hut.

A structure inspired by nature quickly become obvious.

All living things are composed of basic patterns that repeat themselves as they grow. These fractals are particularly visible in plants and shellfish. The cabin structure is actually quite simple, it’s composed of concentric rings around a pivot axis. It is modeled on the same principle of construction observed in nature. Its organic look calls the visitor to his discovery.

The choice of steel, beyond its obvious strength, echoes the industrial heritage of my region. This material is already very present in the garden. It also helps make the lightest possible structure.

The ultimate goal is that nature and visitor, appropriate the hut. Once completely covered with plants, the designer's work disappears to let a green blanket envelop its occupants.

Orkys

Orkys captures energy in its 'leaves' to light its flowers.

The petals are adjustable to vary the light intensity. The sheets are flexible photovoltaic cells.

Coin-Coin

Inspired by a popular origami game called cootie catcher or fortune teller. It is made of 2 basic aluminum parts forming one table leg. 8 aluminum pieces fixed together with nuts and bolts are required to build Coin-Coin

Carafe

“Eau de Metz” is a glass decanter and a cup paying tribute to the Centre Pompidou Metz hexagonal patterns. The object was created to promote tap water consumption.

Aequo

Each part maintains the others on their gravity center.

You can give the lamp any shape effortlessly, it will always stay in balance.

Kiosques

A blooming booth. Each petal opens easily thanks to a counterweight. The booth is entirely assembled in aluminum.

Made by Hugon Metal Design

Electree City

Electree City is a tree whose leaves are solar panels. The product is composed of modules to assemble which enable a multitude of different setups and an easy transportation. The solar panels efficiency is optimized by the modules orientation. The energy produced can be used in many ways, either consumed directly (charging electric bicycles, displaying an interactive video, etc ...) or as in addition to existing power grids of a house or a city.
