1. Transparent TV

To kick us off, a very recent design idea brought to the market by Michael Friebein the form of the transparent television.  This very cool take on the traditional TV means our huge screens no longer impose on the room and when switched off, become invisible.

3. Door with Self Sterilization System

This may not seem ever so cool, but is very useful if you worry about getting ill especially as so many germs are spread through touch. People are very lazy about washing their hands so this is the perfect solution. The secret to this self-cleaning handle is the UV light hidden within it. When the handle is being used the light switches itself off, yet when that person lets go and leaves the room the light comes back on, hence sterilizing itself.

4. Electrolux Portable Fireplace

This new take on a modern in or outdoor gas fireplace is pure magic captured in a ceramic cylinder. The container is white in colour, when the fire is switched off, and becomes transparent when it’s switched on. Although not readily available yet on the market, keep your eyes open as these are set to come on sale later this year. This is ideal if you don’t want to spend the money on fireplaces or if you just like the idea of keeping cosy wherever you are in the home.

5. LED Ceiling

Purely for cool-factor why not install an entire ceiling of LED lights. Enjoyable for house parties, entertaining over dinner or even for children to get creative with, these will keep everybody happy. ‘Draw the Lights’ by Seo Dong-Hun is the concept of a customizable LED lit ceiling with light wand to play around with the shapes and constellations above you.

An added bonus is that the lights are energy efficient!
