Wouldn't this be refreshing in comparison to the old electric baseboard

I am always impressed by objects which have balance, simplicity, and yet are still able to interject visual interest.

(At the risk of looking a little thematic)
Multifunctional kitchen roller prototype that can be split in two halves, each with its own unique function. The Roll & Mix has one half that is an oil bottle and the other a mortar for grinding and mixing. The parts can be threaded together to be used as a roller. -
Inspired by Jeju’s nature and charm, the scene of Jeju’s beautiful fresh water is captured and applied to a modern and minimal block-shaped bottle. This design was awarded the grand prize at the Jeju Premium Water Bottle Design

Hi, Dale:
The preceding series is exquisite, and I appreciate greatly your posting them here. Inspiring stuff. Like you, I do appreciate the minimalist expressions. I think sometimes it takes great restraint not to overstate an idea. -

I am very impressed at the way many of today's designers hone in on the "idea", and then work through it to come up with such elegant solutions, and as a consequence such functionally beautiful objects.

Thanks!
http://www.shaas.no/kurs/These are small Run of River style power generation stations each capable of 30 GW power generation (enough power for about 1600 residences)
Where I live, these are common, but are usually strange looking small dams, and 1000's of meters of obtrusive pipe.
Good on the Norwegians.

That's a really good reminder that enriching one's aesthetic experiences is an important function that should influence the form of a design. All too often designers are concerned with function, function, function and forget that form is itself a function.

They where in the news here in Norway last year when we where having a big debate about new planned power lines going across the country. Most people are oppose to them because they are so brutal - this suggestion for an Icelandic competition came up and I thought it was really great! I'd be perfectly happy with powerlines with this design. I mean - they are huge and you cannot get away from that - so why not make something out of it. They will be seen - so let them look good!
