If there is anything that will define the present style-period in architecture and design in retrospective it may not be the estetic´s, the materials or the production techniques. It want be the current political or cultural currents as single influence either. It will be the creative explosion in the usage of embedded electronics in our objects and surroundings. Not only as simple means to solve a task, but as a defining quality that leads to new shape, usage and experience that has not been seen before. The creative explosion in the use or micro-controllers like PIC and Arduino has given the creatives the tools of the professional industry, and classics will be created.

The Oslo based architects from Bifokal is thinking along the same lines as we do. So when we meet, it was natural to join our skills, knowledge and resources to create some of these visions.

They also wanted to speed test browsers versus potatoes to find the fastest of the two.



Nullohm got the challenging task of developing the highly advanced apparatus for this exiting experiment. And we are very proud to present this state of art technology.

If you want to take a closer look to the Dobpler system in real life you have the opportunity in Athen this January.

We will be exhibiting  22- 25 January in the Future Hotel stand area with Well-Tech.

We have some cases from the workshop that we did for fun and testing that we will post some photos from soon. We are working with a kinetic project, and some of the testing we did was to build a robotic to take care of the gardening in our office. Yes that right, we don´t only have the casual office plant, we have a indoor lawn. And the grass needs to be cut, watered and feed with light and nutrients. Our experience with a indoor lawn is that it really makes the air better, its summer-felling all year round and its probably more effective as a air freshener than the casual office plant.

We plan to post some projects like these along with news about or work and projects for clients, not as much as DIY tutorials, but for inspiration and fun.

Dobpler in Milano

Dobpler was invited to participate in the Well-Tech exhibition in Milan – A Eco-Design exhibition witch is a part of the Milan Design week.
We had great response on our ‘Designer version’ of the Dobpler wall – With tailor-made aluminum, glass and Solid Oak stand…
The trip was quite long… 2000 km in car each way.. Phui!.

The Well Tech Award exhibition showed a lot if nice concepts, among them the prototype for the future Fiat EV car, Pinifarina Bo with solar-cells embedded in the roof.

The fabulous photovoltaics!!

But our favorite was the spherical solar-cells developed by the Japanese Kyosemi Corporation. Embedding energy, light and intelligence in the fabric of the civilization is way to go!

At the main faire of Salone de mobile, we fell in love with Tsutomo Mutoh´s lamps at the Salone De satelite, interactive play with tilt-sensors, check it out! http://optone.jp/

Sunday it was an article regarding Stig and Dobpler in the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet. It was in the paper version, I will link it up if it comes to the web-version..
