Everyday carry has grown beyond basic functionality into something closer to personal expression. September 2025 brings us designs that feel more like small works of art than simple tools. These pieces show how makers are rethinking what belongs in our pockets, blending traditional craftsmanship with fresh ideas that make familiar objects feel completely new. The

Phone-like devices that deliberately avoid the addictive qualities of modern smartphones are becoming surprisingly common. From the reMarkable Paper Pro Move to various E Ink readers shaped like phones, manufacturers are recognizing that many people want the connectivity of a smartphone without the constant dopamine hits from social media notifications and bright, attention-grabbing screens.

The weight distribution, the way surfaces meet, the subtle click of mechanisms engaging with precision rather than just adequacy.

His client wanted a house that could work as both a quiet retreat and a place to host creative friends from around the world. Not exactly opposing needs, but close enough to make things tricky. Bengebara’s solution was DDAR, a 300-square-meter villa that

Reputed hardware leaker ‘Moore’s Law Is Dead’ just dropped another bombshell, and this time the claims about Sony’s next-generation console are so outrageous they almost sound like wishful thinking from a PlayStation fanboy’s fever dream. The latest leak suggests the PS6 could pack hardware that rivals Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 5090, which would be absolutely bonkers

The Mustang Boss 302 restomod from earlier this year piqued our interest for two reasons – first, of course, the Mustang element, and second, the borderline militaristic aggression that evokes an alternate dystopian world character. While the exposed V8, front splitter, and the yellow-tinted LED headlights on the AltraConcept’s restomod look borderline militarized, this restomod
