Pen organizer and lamp concept integrates functionality and aesthetics
I am not an artist but as a stationery hoarder and a journaling addict, I have a collection of pens, markers, and other writing materials that may rival that of actual artists. The problem sometimes though is that I need to have several pen holders which clutters up my workspace and my room in general. […]
This Adorable Cat-shaped Fan Blows on Your Hot Drinks So You Don’t Have To
I’m going to go full design-nerd right now because of how amazing the Nékojita FuFu is. For years, designers have somehow internalized the idea that form only follows function, forgetting that form follows emotion too. It’s something Hartmut Esslinger spoke about a lot – that form follows function only addresses the basic need of a […]
This Bolt-Action EDC Pen Looks So Good You’ll Never Use A Regular Ballpoint Again
It’s safe to say I’m a bit of an EDC nut. I love devices designed to pack function in a tiny form, designed to be carried everywhere. I love it when EDC also tries to reinvent a category by making a product gorgeous enough that you’d WANT to carry it with you everywhere you go. […]

Fujifilm X-Half: A New Chapter for Everyday Storytellers
Photography used to be about patience. It meant waiting for the right light, framing the perfect moment, and developing the final image by hand. Fujifilm remembers that feeling but also sees how storytelling has shifted. With the upcoming X-Half camera, rumored to be officially called the X-H, the company blends analog memory with modern momentum, […]
If Nintendo Built an E-Bike It Would Probably Look Exactly Like This
There was a time not too long ago, when we’d marvel at designers superimposing one product’s design language onto another category entirely. Imagine if Vespa made a coffee machine, or if Red Bull made EV chargers. Although pure visual exercises, they were a fun exercise that allowed us to imagine objects and scenarios that we’d […]
Boox adds stylus to Go 7 and Go Color 7 Gen II e-readers for instant note-taking while reading
You won’t find as many takers for e-Book readers as there are for mobile phones or tablets, for that matter. This doesn’t mean the e-reader market is not evolving. Some makers, including Boox by Chinese company Onyx, are consistently pushing the category further with new features. Perhaps not so much industry-defining to say this time, […]
LEGO brings Keith Haring’s iconic ‘Dancing Figures’ to Life with 1,773-Brick Set
Keith Haring’s work always had this kinetic energy, this almost frantic optimism captured in thick, bold lines. You see those iconic dancing figures, the radiant baby, the barking dogs, and you’re instantly transported back to the vibrant, sometimes chaotic, energy of 1980s New York City street culture. It’s art that refused to be confined to […]

Movable Screen Concept Channels Bauhaus Vibe with Style and Flexibility
Screens have quickly become the heart of our homes, showing up everywhere from the living room to the kitchen and even sneaking into our appliances. Sometimes, though, it feels like displays are multiplying just for the sake of it. Wouldn’t it be nicer to have one beautiful screen that could follow you wherever it’s actually […]
