World’s First LEGO Greenhouse

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

lego greenhouse 1

The London Design Festival 2011 is underway and there’s something both very cute and functional about this LEGO Greenhouse.

Comprised of 100,000 see through Lego blocks, the greenhouse boasts gaps for air and an irrigation system to water the plants inside, which include hydrangeas and sunflowers. Already it’s one of the most popular attractions.

Award-winning designer Sebastian Bergne is the man who LEGO tasked with coming up with something special, and, that he has.

Situated in Covent Garden, London, the greenhouse is already a real crowd pleaser.

“It’s been a pleasure to be involved with this project for LEGO UK and Covent Garden,” Bergne said. “What instinctively appealed to me, was that I would finally have the chance to live out a childhood dream and build something huge and usable out of LEGO bricks.”

Now if only I could figure out a way to build me a giant LEGO treehouse. Some more shots after the jump.

Catalyst Exhibits Wins Prestigious B2 Award

zimmer b2 awards winning stand

Leading design specialists, Catalyst Exhibits, has scooped a prestigious design award at the 2011 B2 Awards, hosted and judged by the Business Marketing Association. Catalyst’s stunning exhibit stand for Zimmer at the AAOS 2010 Show in San Diego won the Best Trade Show Exhibit over 2,500sq feet.

The B2 Awards are an international business-to-business marketing and communications contest that recognizes excellence among top agencies and corporate marketers.

“Zimmer had an important story to tell to an audience of orthopedic surgeons not known for being easily impressed,” Catalyst explains. “They turned to Catalyst Exhibits to develop the strategy. The sense of theater began before participants entered the viewing space. Massive, sweeping interconnecting paths converged above and below, bathed in white and blue light. Circular stations led participants from one interactive, touch screen technology station to the next.”

“The showpiece element was a two-storey theatre where Zimmer experts would present innovations including Zimmer’s Trabecular Metal Technology that uniquely simulates bone, and, a new highly cross-linked polyethylene, a significant advancement in wear reduction. The main blue path drew attendees through to the theater, a sound a light show in a multi-level, high-definition (HD) area backed by a two-storey high screen, viewable from hundreds of feet away.”

Catalyst would like to thank its top team of designers – led by Mark Lynch – who worked on this project, and all of our projects, for all of their hard work.
