What makes water so calming? Normally you’d have to trek to the Caribbean to study its best qualities, like a deep blue color and hypnotic ripple effect. But now a Spanish designer has recreated the soothing spectacle of an ocean'without using any actual water'for an exhibit called Waterdrop.
Héctor Serrano Studio created the installation in collaboration with Javier Esteban by using a framework of glowing blue metal rods and an underlying rolling mechanism to mimic the movement produced by a single drop of water. The work was commissioned by innovative bathroom designers Roca, who recently displayed it in a dark room at the 100% Design London event. Watch a trippy video of the exhibit below…

It’s a shame what happened to glowsticks. What was once a useful hand-held lighting device has since been ruined by generations of raver douchebags who twirl them like batons. Luckily, it looks like flashlight technology might be taking another step forward with this Fiber Optic Glove concept.
Created by Slovenian designer Tilen Sepic for DesignBoom’s Bright LED competition, the power of the gloves starts at the wrist, where a battery pack and LED light source are hidden. Vein-like fiber optic wires then bring the light up the hand to the index finger and thumb. With the touch of a button, your palm will glow a bright white light, or emit a beam from the finger tip. Tron Guy would be proud. See more images of the concept below…
