Sustainable use of resources ..
Frans Van Praet (b. 1937), architect and icon of the Belgian designer, developed a barometer which indicates his impression of the use of natural resources. In parallel with the shape of a boomerang , also a barometer is an ecological and sustainable property, without use of energy. It makes use of simple natural laws to be of service to mankind. Both products are part of a cultural heritage of their region.
Frans Van Praet recycles crushed rubber tires for finishing his object. This leads to a new and very useful resistant finish of the item. The barometer will be exhibited at the World Expo 2010. In autumn 2010, the new barometer will exist in different versions for sale.
