Top 100 Design Ideas in November

From Zen Garden Lights to Deceptive Paper Packaging

— November 30, 2014 — Eco
Creativity is king when it comes to this collection of November 2014 design ideas. From furniture to art and the odd tech gadget, there are a variety of products that have been given a chic and modern aesthetic. What makes the contemporary looks stand out all the more is a concentration on the specific products at hand.

In one of the November 2014 design cases, a minimalist trash been has been made more function through the use of notches along its lip. This allows people to use one or more bags in the same receptacle to better separate garbage from recyclables. Another great November 2014 design idea focuses on tea culture. It brings the loose leaf experience to the modern age with an electric kettle that can be set at any temperature.
