designer’s own words:
The concept is to design a radiator in analogy with neon signs, a radiator in the shape of a piece of writing. The project developes a font (including all the letters in the alphabet) in which letters becomes modules to create customized radiators composing a sentence. The letters-modules are designed in a way in which any word or sentence may be composed. To create a continuous tube, the spaces between words are designed as dashes that have also the function of the wall brackets. In the first and final letters a module that connects the radiator to the pipework is attached, this modules have a valve. The radiator beyond beeing a functional and ornamental piece, becomes also a communication element. The company may propose a range of already done sentences or let the custumer order its own radiator with a personal sentence.
The Cover Tiles Concept concept came from the idea of exposing the insides of the wall on an aesthetic way. The pipes, connections and water taps which are normally enclosed in the wall are now all visible on the outside. They show the way waterlines run under the tiles and how the raw technical system of water lines, taps, showerhead and connections work and look.
The Cover Tiles Collection exists out of 7 different 15 x 15 ceramic tiles; Straight tiles, straight tiles with hook, curved tiles, wall plate tiles, water tap tiles, showerhead tiles and flat tiles tocomplete the collection. The tiles are available in the glaze colours matt black and glossy white and can also be custom made produced in several colours according wish.
dasparkhotel is conceived and implemented primarily as a hospitality tool.
It is constructed from repurposed, incredibly robust drain pipes.
The external simplicity surrounds an unexpectedly comfortable interior - full headroom, double bed, storage, light, power, woolly blanket and light cotton sleeping bag. All other hotelery devices (Toilets, showers, minibar, cafe, etc) are supplied by the surrounding public space.
From May through October
the simultaneously functional and comfortable concrete sleep-pipes offer the chance to experience a place in a totally new way.
Personal door code
Upon booking you will receive a code to allow entry to your personal suite. For the period of your stay dasparkhotel remains your all hours access safety zone - the charger for your personal energy reserves.
The chance to safely store your luggage and recharge portable electronic devices allows complete freedom of movement.
Infrastructure
Because we obtain sanitation, breakfast and other hotel facilities from existing public infrastructure, it is possible for us to work with the very simple, user-friendly “pay as you wish” system. A night in dasparkhotel costs just as much as you can afford or want to pay.
Costs
We see “pay as you wish” as a system where customers leave a Euro amount that they can afford and with which they wish to support our project.
Reservations
Reservations can be made at www.dasparkhotel.net/reservation at any time.
and..here comes the SAM
“”A samovar is a water heating container, mostly made of brass, with a pipe and built-in brazier inside.”-such a definition we could find in Explanatory Dictionary of the Live Great Russian Language by V. Dal.
For Russian existence and for the entire lifestyle samovar meant more than just a water heater. For Russian people it was a peculiar symbol of hearth and home, coziness and friendly communication. During the 19th and 20th centuries samovar turned into a symbol of Russian way of life, a central object of tea ceremony, which in the 19th century was considered as a part of the national cultural tradition.
The technology:
The pipe construction allows an effective use of heat-producing value of a charcoal, distributing it homogeneously.
Double body with a thermal insulation is safe in use. The low temperature on the upper shell allows the use of non conventional materials for refinishing of a body, such as wood or leather.
A complicated form of a internal reservoir gives a unique method of water preparation, which is typical for samovars. Because of a natural convection, the liquid intensively circulates, mixes up and homogeneously and gradually warms up. The efficiency of a samovar is no less than 70%.
The high volume and the construction allow preserving the water warm for a long time and providing a possibility for a leisured conversation without a necessity to add water to the samovar.
The traditional samovars aren’t for everybody. Sam is beyond fashion. It is a bright, memorable object in which such elements as bio design and hi-tech are combined in harmony. Being so extraordinary, it executes samovar’s function properly.
ROD CHAIR
Putting up all components to graphical layout, and producing an appearance of line gathering. Easy to create a variation in form beyond that the shadow makes whole image to be light.

Rainpod is a stand alone rain collector.
Its three legs are made of local wood trunks which
makes each unit unique and reduces transportation impact.
Its high placed tank delivers rainwater under pressure for
easy watering, thanks to gravity.

a typical standard flat square tile meets with a waterpipe. it has to give up its flatness, becoming 2,5 dimensional
to be able to cover the pipe. if the pipe curves, so does its cover. the resulting system can be applied in 2 different situations:
A) inside the house the pipe is part of the heating system : hot water circulates underneath the tiles, heating the bathroom.

designer's own words:
The basic idea of looop is a loop. It only consists of a through-going pipe, which is devoured in itself. Due to the fact that the shape of the radiator isn´t extensive, you can put some clothes, for example socks, on it and dry it very fast. The pipe is 17 meters long and creates wherethrough a very big surface (approx. 1 m²). The heating element can be installed horizontal or also vertically on the wall. The Themostat is attached at the top corner, so you can adjust very easily and comfortably the amount of heat. It is also thinkable, that looop could be made out of ceramic and heated with electrical energ.
designer's own words:
It's the same old story of the hot water but in a different container. Connect the right number of units to satisfy your heating necessity. With the pipes let flow the water, with the brackets close the circuit, with both make the structure firm. Fasten the radiator on the wall or join two radiators from the back and make a warmer sculpture in the midle of your house. Connect by the rear pipe your radiator to the central heating, and enjoy your designed warm.
designer's own words:
Shower Curtain
The concept behind the 'shower curtain' is exactly that,
where the curtain becomes the shower. The curtain is
hung on a rail around the bath, and by using a pipe
attached to both taps, hot and cold water is mixed as
required and fed into an inlet at the base of the curtain.
The water pressure then pumps it through either
the higher channel, running around the top with outlets
pointing down, for washing ones hair, or the central
channel, running up and down, for an all over body wash.
