PeeFence

Every year festivals and outdoor events alike are plagued by the intense stench that visitors leave behind when they pass water in the fence as a consequence of lacking toilet facilities. PeeFence is a flexible urinal which is easily set up in great quantities. It consists of a 1 mm tough and lightweight plastic membrane which is foldable for efficient storage and effortless setup. PeeFence is folded on site to establish the trough where the urine can flow and then mounted on fence by only four plastic strips. With PeeFence, it has never been easier to implement sanitation at outdoor events!

Chambyrinth

The architecture work, which is combined with the precise positioning technology, provokes traditional acceptance of space as merely a physical medium. Chambyrinth pays homage to activism, and transforms architecture into a platform that bears different opinions with regard to the social atmosphere, where technology becomes an invisible yet strong boundary between people. It invites participants to join the discussion via putting themselves in a fun dilemma, in search of their positions and judgement over the merits and drawbacks of this digital society.

SteriPak

SteriPak is a kit that converts end of life gas cylinders into autoclaves for sterilising medical and baby equipment. Each kit costs less than 10USD. SteriPak empowers the community as the conversion itself provides work for locals that does not rely on specialised equipment. Many clinics in sub Saharan Africa are forced to reuse surgical equipment like scalpels and forceps due to their expense. SteriPak only requires water and a heat source to achieve safe, consistent sterilisation of this equipment to lower infant mortality rates and increase overall quality of life.

BaMirLa

Bamirla stands for the Hungarian Bátor Tábor which is a camp for children with cancer or other chronic illness. The aim of this design is to transmit the atmosphere of the camp to the users with the rounded, playful shapes, use of colors and the character of arts and crafts. The decorations refer to the camp and they are based on the following three ideas: the logo of the camp, the children accommodations and the graphics of the houses. The tableware is tend to support the healthy eating habits so they are adopted to the eat-less-more-often practice in their dimensions.
