LEDoorHandle  Glowing LEDoorHandle Guides You to the Door
This bright idea seems to be able to help guide other people through the dark. The LEDoorHandle was designed by a team of three designers: Kun-hee Kim, Kei Shimizu and Nguyen-vu Dang. The concept behind this modern door handle incorporates both a LED Flashlight and a highlighted door handle design in an idea that could save lives. During a blackout, it would be easier to find your way if the door handle glows in the dark. The LEDoorHandle found on Gadget Review is not only for emergencies, it can also decorate your door every day and night. Using the locking-motion of the handle to harness and charge the lithium batteries of the flashlight, the door handle displays another high-tech feature. Featuring a light sensor mood light, the modern door handle can enhance the room’s atmosphere. So it is safe to say that the 2011 Spark Awards Winner can upgrade your lifestyle.

La Source Massage Therapy Pavilion Modern Le Source Spa Nestled in the Canadian Mountainside
The Le Source Spa in the Lanaudière region of Quebec, Canada, has three main features that integrate its modern architecture in the surroundings: the placement on a mountainside, the use of natural building materials and the panoramic views captured by framed windows. Montreal-based firm Blouin Tardif Architecture-Environnement were the masterminds behind the concept of this spa. Three levels covering 800 square meters welcome guests with a reception area that guides clientele to the thirteen massage spaces and two new lounges of the establishment. Integrating the architecture of the spa in the surroundings proved to be a challenge for the architects – respect for the topography and conserving the trees around was the base of the design. Each floor was divided into two levels, better incorporated in the mountainside, and the main stairway – framed by rough concrete walls – links all floors. A wooden passage way overlooking the forest welcomes guests and guides them to the interiors. The exterior cladding in wood features metallic framed windows and the L-shaped green roof offers protection from weather for the outdoor walkways and patio. Guests will surely be impressed by the architecture and services.

at home Intriguing Japanese Design That Turns Your Laptop into a Desktop  We recently received an interesting project from Japanese designer Masayuki Todate, called Desktop Chair. Here is the official description from the project developer: “While we enjoy the mobility of laptop, some of us still use desktops to work efficiently and comfortably. Hand made with fine natural basswood, Desktop Chair simply holds your Apple laptop and turns it into a desktop machine with an external display, a keyboard and a mouse (or trackpad). Desktop Chair fits virtually all Apple laptops with a height of 1.2″ (30mm) or less, regardless of the shape, with or without a cover, now and the future. And of course for tablets. Simply connect your Apple laptop with an external monitor, a keyboard and a mouse. Your laptop will run with the lid closed. Apple calls it “Closed Clamshell Mode” (cable adaptor may be needed). Now your laptop works as a desktop, allowing you to work comfortably by raising your eye level for better posture, less strain on your eyes, neck and back”. Find it useful?
