CRYSTAL
CRYSTAL are thousand and one wireless light rocks which interact with people. CRYSTAL functions as a ‘digital campfire’ where people share stories of light. Each Crystal contains LEDs that are wirelessly charged via a powermat. Once visitors start adding, moving or sharing Crystals, the basic breathing of the Crystals changes. The lighting behavior of crystals moves from ‘excited’ to ‘bored’, keeping visitors curious. People can either share or steal them. CRYSTAL creates a sensual relation between people, technology and light.
Specifications: 2012-2013. Hundreds of wireless LED rocks (variable sizes) on a power mat. Special Crystal box available on request.
Client: Self commissioned by Studio Roosegaarde. Premiere at PICNIC, EYE Museum Amsterdam. Permanent installation at Strijp-S Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

SAMART HIGHWAY
Dutch Design firm studio roosegaarde and Heleen Herbert from heijmans infrastructure have presented the first prototypes of their 'smart highway' development. awarded with a ‘best future concept’ by the dutch design awards, the idea will be realized mid-2013 in the Netherlands. Using the latest techniques, the team is dedicated in building roads that are more sustainable, safe and interactive for both drivers and builders. Instead of focusing on the car to innovate the driving experience, Roosegaarde and Heijmans found it about time to innovate the highways. with smarter transportation research already disposable for use for decades, an implementation plan capable of updating the highway with new designs such as a 'glow-in-the-dark road', 'dynamic paints', 'interactive lights', 'induction priority lanes' and 'wind lights'. The system essentially creates roads that are more socially conscious and interactive through the inclusion of light, energy and road signs which automatically adapt to various traffic situations.

Awarded biennially in Denmark, under the attendance of HRH the crown price of Denmark, the INDEX: award is the biggest design award in the world (€500,000) – and probably the most important. The importance of INDEX: award lies in the unique, over-arching theme of design to improve life – a concept which has established the prize as a global, inspirational design beacon. INDEX: award is split into five categories: body, home, work, play and community, representing the entire human life, inside to out. One prize worth €100,000 is presented to the winner in each of the categories. In 2013, Smart Highway was the second winner in the community category: an interactive road designed by Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde in collaboration with Dutch firm Heijmans Infrastructure.
