the new home for the design conscious bird. radius design lends the old established nesting box a modern face. »piep show home« brings colour to your garden and guarantees spring fever not just for you. the new nesting box is available in the colours black, white, silver, green and orange.

the sophisticated type of fastening with a lashing strap around the tree makes it easy and flexible to mount. the tree is also not damaged. the entrance hole in the natural wood front is suitable for almost all types of birds. the nesting box is protected from weathering influences by aluminium housing.

the sloping shape of the nesting box with a small opening in the wooden front guarantees that fluids can escape from the nest hole. »piep show home« is very easy to clean.

Daily Stack is a playful tool that helps you become more aware of your daily work-flow and time management. By creating a physical representation of your tasks, Daily Stack speaks subtly to your conscience and helps you manage your time through unobtrusive ambient feedback.

It consists of a base device and a collection of wooden bricks in different shapes and colours. The bricks represent different kinds of tasks and time-intervals. By adding a brick to the base you commit yourself to the task and time span that the selected brick represents. Daily Stack communicates with a desktop widget on your computer that enables you to keep track of your time and tasks in progress. It also enables you to browse through your past and and compare your days in a colourful informative pattern.

The Places We Live (an interactive exhibition produced in cooperation with the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo) renders the day to day portrait of sixteen households located in 4 slums:
Caracas-Venezuella, Kibera-Nairobi-Kenya, Dharavi-Mumbai-India, Jakarta-Indonesia.
Life size images and audio segments in the exhibition help create the experience of a personal encounter with the slum dwellers. Each slum is represented by one room, where all four walls are built out of rear-projection canvas.

here are a couple of samples :

With a population swelling above 18 million, Mumbai is the world’s most densely populated urban area.
Even though it is the richest city of india, about two-thirds of its residents live in poverty, or slums.
Dharavi, Mumbai’s most infamous slum, is home to about one million residents living off the official city grid.
It is likely to vanish within a decade to make way to middle class apartment blocks.

This is the Shilpiri Household (Dharavi, mumbai, India) : [ PLAY the vocal translation : ]

Kibera, East Africa’s largest slum, is home to a quarter of the Nairobi’s population.
About 700 000 people squeeze into a piece of land the size of New York’s Central Park.
Because of it’s unauthorized status, ir receives no municipal services such as public water, sanitation, schools, health care, etc.
