X-Ray Kitchen


Ever the hybrid architect, artist and minimalist designer, Jean Nouvel has accomplished a great deal with this design idea – the find-anything functionality of see-through cabinetry, the animated and ever-changing artistry of light and dark shapes and the naturally and of course the built-in lighting itself that can illuminate the kitchen background while you cook.

Petal Dress

 The fabric indoors,
 The fabric outdoors under UV light. 
Vibrant jewel hues printed on lustrous fabrics transform in colour outside during the day and glow vivid blue under UV light to take the wearer seamlessly from day-to-night.

Thunderstorm Dress

One company which is now crossing the boundary from concept pieces to mainstream products is Rainbow Winters. The fashion label focuses on interactive clothing which fuses the cutting edge of science with the high-art of fashion. The central theme in her work explores interaction- reaction, response and process.

Concept pieces such as the ‘Thunderstorm’ Dress animate in response to sound to create ‘Visual Music’ and are made with holographic leather and sound-reactive, animated electroluminescent panels. The show-piece went on display in the London concept store ‘123 Bethnal Green Road’. The latest showpiece ‘Picasso Explosion’ an explosion of graphic art and sharp sculpture which illuminates to the beat.

catalytic surface to purify air, employing existing technology in a new way.

It is the brainchild of artist / designer Helen Storey and chemist Tony Ryan
people from very different worlds whose minds have come together over recent
years in highly successful art/science collaborations.

Tokyo Curry Lab

Wonderwall designed a restaurant based on a concept of creating an innovative lab for experimenting and inventing curry recipes, the Tokyo Curry Lab.




The restaurant is located in the monumental Tokyo Tower, where a lab area with colorful spice tubes on display is accompanied by a dining counter behind it. A great restaurant for curry lovers.
