There’s something unsettling and deeply fascinating about furniture that looks back at you. Not literally, of course, but in that way certain objects seem to have presence, personality, almost a pulse. That’s exactly the vibe French designer Vincent Decat is going for with his Living Series, a collection of sculptural furniture pieces that feel less […]

Climbing an observation tower involves a lot of steel and concrete just to stand a few dozen meters higher and take in a view. The ritual is familiar, the ascent, the vertigo, the panorama, but the infrastructure demands are massive for what amounts to a few minutes of elevated looking.

Most robot vacuum-mop combos on the market right now do an acceptable job on light dust and can push a damp pad across hardwood, but ask them to handle a real kitchen spill or a week’s worth of tracked-in dirt from a dog, and the cracks start to show. Streaky floors, damp patches that take

There’s something deeply poetic about watching light pass through layers of colored wire mesh, each one adding a new dimension of color and shadow until you’re not quite sure where the walls end and the air begins.

Picture this: you’re helping your grandmother organize her medicine cabinet, but she’s visually impaired. Those prescription bottles all look identical to her touch. You want to help, but learning Braille isn’t exactly something you picked up over coffee. Now imagine pulling out a compact printer, speaking into your phone, and watching as sticky Braille labels

JMGO has spent years quietly refining the idea that home cinema doesn’t need to be fixed in one place. Much like how thoughtfully designed consumer tech reimagines everyday experiences through flexibility and form, the company’s latest projector leans into motion, adaptability, and visual ambition.
