The answer could be this table-top dishwasher that integrates into your kitchen work top. A sliding top reveals a pull-up basket and is sited next to the sink for easy plumbing and waste. It's a design by Robert Lange and is developed with the help of Bosch. </span></span></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: normal; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;

A mention in the Sunday Times Travel section this weekend prompted me to let you into the secret too. The site describes itself as an 'Invitation Only' site but if you sign up for the newsletters you'll automatically get notice of forthcoming flash sales. This week's offers include the new Moods design hotel in Prague where the room rate is down from £250 to £69.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiipJ4De_84i1L25TKoYfngeJ29LkS_xXb1e6d0HaIRtZbWjRTl5lnnFirKIINcZaus7CZDPX8UOs1wRgxIBhhqd_DB_QfF2wR-3E5a69YWlsFbM8Zc8MOLhtTxk5uclklqbLEHz_d-zNnp/s1600/00003.466h.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiipJ4De_84i1L25TKoYfngeJ29LkS_xXb1e6d0HaIRtZbWjRTl5lnnFirKIINcZaus7CZDPX8UOs1wRgxIBhhqd_DB_QfF2wR-3E5a69YWlsFbM8Zc8MOLhtTxk5uclklqbLEHz_d-zNnp/s400/00003.466h.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470064774988479282" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 388px; height: 242px; " /></a></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:arial, serif;">Other offers this week include a saving of 58% on a stay in a beach hotel in Mauritius, 66% at the Catedral Hotel in Barcelona, 56% savings at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Berlin....... and so it goes on.

It works by our body clock responding to an imitation sunrise as the Light Sleeper bedding gradually begins to glow in a natural breathing rhythm over a 15 - 20 minute period. Light Sleeper bedding uses electroluminescent technology which allows traditional textile surfaces to become a reactive light source and the pillow and duvet simulate a natural dawn that gently eases you into your day.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51);

If you can't fit underfloor heating then radiators become an integral part of the overall look and design of a room so it's important they reflect your own style as well as doing their job of belting out the heat. I want to tell you about a great service from Select Radiators who bring their mobile showroom direct to your home.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

Big name design companies you can expect to see include Tom Dixon, SCP, Hitch/Mylius, Flos, Knoll, Moroso and Poltrona Frau to name just a tiny few. Go to the website at <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">www.clerkenwelldesignweek.com</span> to register for a free wrist band that will get you into all the events. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#993399;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><br /></span></b></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#993399;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">And to end, another weird yet brilliant design ...........</span></b></span></span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#993399;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><br /></span></b></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#993399;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">The Chairless</span></b></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">I forgot to mention The Chairless in last month's newsletter/blog when I highlighted some of the cutting edge designs launched in Milan. You've may have seen this as it's been featured in most of the Design media but it's still worth applauding the simple yet brilliant design of the Chairless designed by Alejandro Aravena for Vitra. Based on a device used by South American Indians it's a webbing strap that's wrapped around the body to relieve tensions when in a seated position. It takes pressure of the back and thighs and leaves the arms and hands free which we usually need for support when sitting on the floor.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWXdj_qmi2FkyUTBufATVLTBPRyTiBd-6muqhoWvr2p1wS-nRvdaQBAWAIrsCWTRp10oPwK_axMsUlcWklVaEtd2C9uwpzKc0blU-EyCa4VDkExZp0M1AhADmrHs6cs5J6hNzKCfTrvr5E/s1600/dzn_Vitra-5.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWXdj_qmi2FkyUTBufATVLTBPRyTiBd-6muqhoWvr2p1wS-nRvdaQBAWAIrsCWTRp10oPwK_axMsUlcWklVaEtd2C9uwpzKc0blU-EyCa4VDkExZp0M1AhADmrHs6cs5J6hNzKCfTrvr5E/s400/dzn_Vitra-5.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468994622507289042" style="float: left;

So where's the only place we've not yet seen it? Yes, you're right - the ceiling. I've seen a few images in the past couple of months of rooms with paper on the ceiling and it's not as odd as it sounds. I'm not sure I'll be able to persuade a client to take the plunge but I think it would be fun to try in the loo or a cloakroom.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:12px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:12px;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://f00.inventorspot.com/images/2821523611_b67865b60b_o.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="314" /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:12px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:12px;"><img src="http://f00.inventorspot.com/images/1234351.preview.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="281" /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, fantasy;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:-webkit-xxx-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, fantasy;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#993399;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Wallpapered Furniture</span></span></span></b></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Perhaps a tamer and more easily acceptable wallpaper trend is wallpapered furniture.

Unlike a traditional chandelier that has a number of arms joined at a central point with lights on the end of each arm the Balance is a series of individual Swarovski candle pieces that are individually suspended and lit from above by LEDs. Because the pieces are not joined they give a magical floating effect - think of that scene in Harry Potter with candles magically floating in the air in the dining hall. The pieces can be hung in any formation or suspended individually over a kitchen island to provide good task lighting.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, fantasy;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:-webkit-xxx-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, fantasy;font-size:130%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:16px;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:12px;"><img alt="" src="http://www.chiquechaque.com/userimages/Balanmce36_2%281%29.jpg" height="367" width="289" /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:12px;"><img src="http://www.iconeye.com/images/products/Windfall1.gif" width="250" /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, fantasy;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:-webkit-xxx-large;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, fantasy;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></b></span></span></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#993399;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Upcoming Shows and Places to Visit in March</span></span></span></b></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">March is almost upon us and there are a couple of events I would recommend to you in you're in the London area.</span></span></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:12px;"><img title="The Affordable Art Fair" alt="The Affordable Art Fair" src="http://www.affordableartfair.com/I/Build/Logo0.gif" /></span></span></b></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></b></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Firstly the Affordable Art Fair held in Battersea Park, London.

There's been a bit of scare mongering in the press in the past couple of weeks making people nervous about whether they'll still be able to use light fittings they already have in their homes. The answer is there's no need to worry as the industry is working hard to produce alternative eco-friendly replacements to the old bulbs that we've become used to. Philips and Osram lead the field so when you next need to change a light bulb check out what's available from these two companies. The Osram website has an informative section that compares the light output of the old high wattage incandescent bulbs with new energy saving replacements. In terms of dimmer switches, Lutron is the brand to look out for as it's a world leader in dimming technology and continues to forge ahead in the development stakes.</span></span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span></span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Here's the official word on the phasing out of incandescent light bulbs from the European Union, the following is an extract from their official press release website:<br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">"From September 2009, lamps equivalent in light output to 100W transparent conventional incandescent bulbs and above will have to be at least class C (improved incandescent bulbs with halogen technology instead of conventional incandescent bulbs).</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">By the end of 2012, the other wattage levels will follow and will also have to reach at least class C.
