• Design to Lift, Angle, Clean, and Store

Sculptural elements are present throughout Verde's work, which distinguish his designs from most other functional products. Supporters of his work have often likened Verde's sleek shapes to those found in works by artists such as Brancusi, Henry Moore, and Anish Kapoor. "My wife is an artist, so art is a big part of my life, but I don't consciously look into the art world for inspiration," he said. "I'm fascinated by some of the techniques that sculptors have used. Henry Moore, for example, used uninterrupted lines in his sculptures that he said continued into infinity." Likewise, some of Verde's products are based on the cylinder, the ellipse, and the spiral; shapes that symbolize continuous lines as Verde morphs them into a wide variety of streamlined shapes.

• Cleaning Up: Environmental Services in Botswana

Wave Sanitation Services was founded in 2000, offering waste-water treatment, a toilet rental service and solid waste management. People at Wave understand that in a cleaner environment, all industrial sectors can perform efficiently and generate sustained profits. The world market for environmental clean-up services reached US$376 billion in 2002, according to Environmental Business International. However, despite the need for environmental services, governments in developing economies are sometimes unable to afford such environmental services. Botswana is a small economy of 1.7 million people; entering international markets is, therefore, a priority. To address the concerns of global competition, Wave has embarked on a policy of smart partnerships with a regional company and an intern...
