Time of the sky

Watch by ryohei yoshiyuki that shows the color of the sky to indicate the time of the day
Japanese designer Ryohei Yoshiyuki has designed a watch that indicates the time of the day by showing the color of the sky. “The sky color is mean to remind you to look up at the real sky, from time to time, in this busy life of ours. ‘we are always looking at some kind of window, on the computer, mobile phone and so on. and now a small window on one’s arm…’ ” Light makes the blue hue of the sky changes during the day. This is of course caused by the rotation of the earth around its axis and the sun. Time is created by this rotations, so it makes perfect sense to combine those two elements into a single watch. Can’t wait till Ryohei makes an O-LED version of the watch. source: designboom

Robotzki by German designer Benedikt Achatz
German designer Benedikt Achatz has made a robot version of the archetype desktop luminaire for Ingo Maurer. The Robot takes the principles and articulations of the
human arm. The fixture is a response to many of the interdisciplinary design questions of today: lighting, user interface, product design and automation technologies.
The idea of a robotic fixture is really interesting. I would like to see a similar technique for lighting in the urban environments. Can you imagine streetlights just moving thought the city by day, to shine each night in an other street? source: designboom -
