French-born fashion designer and fashion house Saint Laurent's creative director Hedi Slimane has opened and designed the newest French modernism-inspired Sloane Street branch in London. The space was inspired by Art Deco and bases itself on the principle of the Union des Artistes Modernes -- an architecture and art movement, which predominantly used the raw quality of materials and simplicity as a theme. The mirror and white marble interiors are similar to the fashion house's flagship store in Paris.
In the latest Sloane Street branch, visitors will see a consistent monochrome palette of black glass and marble throughout the space, translated minimally into materials and techniques used in the French Modernist movement including designs MoernistsMarcel Breuer, Jacques Adnet and Ren Herbst.
The design of this sink-shower hybrid is extremely dependent on the bathroom that its being placed in as it works best for smaller bathrooms. The sink and shower have to be placed side by side as they share the same shower head/ tap. The shower head tilts between being vertical (for the shower) and horizontal (for the sink). It looks quite simple, but it can save quite a lot of space in more cramped bathrooms.

The NEXD Android watches do more than simply telling time or glowing in the dark. Incorporating Android technology, these watches will allow users to hook up to the Internet and video chat with friends on the go. It's hard to imagine that anyone who would own this watch to want to revert back to a chunky cell phone. Despite smart phones getting thinner and lighter, they're not going to be as compact as a snazzy wristband. Trying to squish all that technology into a tiny wristwatch isn't easy, and the NEXD Android watches do so without sacrificing any style.
Besides the face of the watch, the band also has embedded features like battery power and micro USB slots. Other functions include fitness monitors, social media, cameras, music, calendars and anything else your Android smart phone is already equipped to do.
Solar-Powered Chargers
A charitable organization called Buffalo Grid has developed a portable solar-powered charger that can be used to quickly and safely charge phones in developing countries. Cell phones have proven to effectively connect communities in countries lacking wired telecommunications infrastructure; however, the lack of electricity infrastructure makes devicecharging a problem. Buffalo Grid tackles this by providing solar-powered charger hubs to communities, and offers them a share in its profits. Buffalo Grid founder Phil Schluter spent 20 years as a coffee trader in Africa, and came up with the idea after seeing the benefits cell phones were bringing to local communities and recognizing the difficulties in charging phones. The Buffalo Grid equipment is provided for free to entrepreneurs in the local community. Customers pay for the use of the device by sending a premium text message as their payment. The entrepreneurs who own and manage the device then share in Buff lo Grid's profits.
This solar I Phone charger is currently under development and will be available via Kick starter within the coming months.

Here's hoping designers continue to modify campers and equip them with current technology and design them with contemporary styling in mind.
