Double-sided wall clocks are not new. They have existed for decades, quietly moving between public and private spaces. While many people associate them with railway stations and institutional corridors across Europe, they also made their way into homes in earlier times, often as decorative yet functional pieces in hallways or larger living spaces. Over time, […]

Most upcycling projects ask you to forget what something used to be. Omri Piko Kahan’s bike frame chairs ask the opposite.

It usually plays the supporting role, the thing that makes everything else look good. Preciosa Lighting is quietly changing that conversation, and their latest collection, Drifting Lights, might be the most convincing argument they’ve made yet. The

The whole transaction is so clean and invisible on your end that it might as well not be happening. That’s by design, and it’s worth thinking about. Although with the way we use technology

Spending hours in front of a glowing screen is unavoidable for most people, and the toll it takes on the eyes is a problem the monitor industry hasn’t truly solved. E Ink displays offer a gentler, paper-like alternative that’s far easier to stare at for long stretches, but most of them are painfully slow, limited
