FreshPaper

"While the world’s farmers harvest enough food to feed the planet, it is estimated that up to 50% of the global food supply is wasted. Fenugreen is taking on this enormous, yet often overlooked, global challenge with a simple design, FreshPaper. Low-cost, compostable and infused only with organic spices, FreshPaper keeps produce fresh for 2-4x longer, and holds the potential to change how the world keeps its food fresh."

Flexible Space

A wall that allows anyone to be their own architect and modify their homes to suit their needs.

We are living in a time where more than half of the world’s population live in cities, and with limited space, adaptation and flexibility are the keys to comfortable urban living. Traditional homes often undergo many renovations over their lifetimes, and with each upgrade come a number of inconveniences, including noise, stress and a general overall chaos. And aside from the huge personal cost, these renovations generate millions of tons of waste every year. So why pour money and energy into rigid walls when you can purchase flexible ones and renovate your home in an instant?

The Flexible Space by IKEA provides the ultimate modularity and allows users to make the most out of any existing living space. As a movable partition with integrated furniture, the wall can instantly create a new space within a single room to meet any housing need.
