HANSACANYON - temperature sensitive faucet

Hansacanyon is pure design and technology excellence. Form – uncompromising, extravagant and exciting; function – a brand new concept in water flow: an open, visible watercourse spout. And along the way, the water stream is illuminated and varies its color from cool blue into a warm red according to temperature.
The entire operation of the Hansacanyon is electronically controlled with sensor buttons. With its strict, unusually clear profile, Hansacanyon becomes even more: it becomes an object that throws an entirely new light on the interpretation of the water experience.


Water, light, energy, power, design: features that transform Hansacanyon into an avant-garde element in your bathroom. However, the technology adopted here is not merely technology for technology’s sake but rather an essential foundation and concept of the staging. The entire operational technology remains invisible and only the cool chrome of the fitting can be seen.

Vos Pad

The Vos Pad is lit by Luxeon® LEDs, all of which are fully dimmable with complete chromatic control.

The ambience of The Vos Pad is controlled by the Lutron® custom-built computerised system that operates the lighting and other features. The level and colour of the lights in different areas can be changed instantly. The blinds are remote-controlled.

Blueprint for future living

This is a new way at looking at living spaces: combining intelligent design with the latest technologies to create flexible interior solutions.



Increased demand for live/work space, high property prices and our increasingly sophisticated lifestyles have lead to new ways of thinking:

Flexible living

By creating an apartment with clean lines and clever design features, it is now possible to live, work and entertain with style, but in a much smaller space than before. The same plasma screen that is used to watch DVD’s, can also be used to play games,work or give presentations. The sleeping space is hidden behind a sleek screen, and the WC is split from the main bathroom to form a guest cloakroom. Storage is discreet and adaptable.

Smart living

Integrated entertainment systems and smart features allow greater control than ever over the home environment. Lighting levels and colours, heating, sound and video are all centrally controlled and can be instantly set to pre-selected options. Even the cleaning is automated.

Vos Solutions have demonstrated that selectively integrating new technologies makes commercial sense and can substantially raise the value of a property.

Unlike other ‘homes of the future’, The Vos Pad is a practical demonstration of what can be affordably done now.

Bright living

The Vos Pad’s main lighting system incorporates LED light units provided by British company ACDC Lighting . These products have been developed in conjunction with some of the world’s top lighting designers, including Vos Solutions.
In The Vos Pad, Vos Solutions,ACDC Lighting and Lutron® and have come together to create the world's first fully dimmable and chromatically controlled RGB lighting system.

The ambience of The Vos Pad is controlled by the Lutron custom-built computerised system that operates the LED lighting and other features.

The Lutron Grafik Intergrale was the obvious choice for The Vos Pad, combining a sleek, unobtrusive and modern design with great functionality and flexibility.

With the Lutron system, the level and colour of the lights in different areas can be changed instantly, to pre-selected scenes or to an infinite number of personally customised configurations.

These can be still sets or flow into each other at a programmable rate - from the gently subliminal to fast radical change. The choice is with the controller like never before.

Background

The Vos Pad is the brainchild of the designer Marcel Jean Vos.

Marcel has a wide range of creative experience, from interiors retail through to leading edge marine and interior design projects.
Through his design consultancy, Vos Solutions™, Marcel has created the first in a series of interior environments that integrate the latest technologies and products within a design framework. The Vos Pad is a blueprint for future living, and as such could equally be applied to working, living or entertaining spaces.
Vos Solutions are building a long-term platform to develop ideas and applications in cooperation with leading manufacturers and companies.

Cold Light

They are the winners of a limited competition run by BIG, one of the biggest building development companies in the country. The creators explain that the temporary appearance is not a random choice: “It serves to highlight the project’s continuing evolution, which resembles the disorder that prevails in a research laboratory.” “0-24 Licht” is the first prototype for the direct transportation of sunlight and marks a small revolution in architecture’s use of solar energy.

light reading

Books are an important part of most interiors and whilst adding interest and colour they do not bring light! Light Reading was designed to nestle in amongst your books and remain invisible until illuminated. The Light is made from a material called 'Secret sign'. This is bent into the shape of a book or more specifically the dimensions of a good dictionary. Inside the book a low energy lamp is mounted providing a safe and low temperature light source. Once illuminated the light reveals its title, which is laser engraved on the inside. Provided with clear cable, switch and plug.

CD Lamp

61 CDs illuminated down the center. Not an LED project but could be easily converted to a 1 watter or more.

The website contains all you need to know to build one as well as improvements the author would make in a second version.

A bar full of LEDs



This is the new bar room my father is finishing up. Underneath the bar are strips of amber leds casting at 90 degrees.


One of the track lights is a 1 watt Luxeon, it may look off from a distance, but it is hard to look at head on. The one watter casts a nice even warm light. Three watters might just be what were looking for.
