This
water purification device idea combines two things we love – simple design and reuseable water bottles.

Simple, elegant, and easy to use – three qualities we love in design – and it’s great for people who want to quench their thirst on the go, even if all that is available is a questionable water source. Designed by Gretha Oost, Paul Charlwood & Andrew Howley.

There’s also an extension to the idea in that you take your plant out every time you drive, sorta like walking your dog. Designed by Slava Saakyan.

98. Have A Different Car Everyday
The MOY Concept car was made for a generation used to using media to express themselves.
