Those of us that have become accustomed to seeing some neat mobile phone gadgets for the festival season won't be disappointed as this year Orange, in partnership with Gotwind, have created a eco-powered gumboots / wellies.

These festival goers best friend use the heat generated by your feet to charge your mobile phone, via their unique 'Power Generating Sole'. So now you can party all day / night in your boots, come back to your tent plug in your mobile phone and charge it up. A must have for any festival goers this season!

Combining both function and eco-friendly design, the Spanish Innovation Lab - Roca, has created a neat L-shaped sink and toilet combo. By combining the two elements of a bathroom house owners can save a significant 25% of the water that is normally used in the bathroom.

This would be great for some of the older buildings in Europe which have small apartments with smaller bathrooms and with this unit you save some serious space. Only obstacle is the EUR 2,731 price tag that comes with it.

None the less it's a great example of using design to solve everyday problems i.e. space and waste water. Two thumbs up to the Spanish!
