Architecture

In most concept cars the paint is just a color. On the Mercedes-Benz Vision Iconic, the paint is a powertrain component. Beneath that mirror black surface lies solar paint, a wafer thin photovoltaic skin that turns every curve and contour into an active energy source, capable of adding thousands of miles of range each year […]

There’s something refreshing about furniture that doesn’t take itself too seriously while still being completely serious about design. The new Tong side table from designer Zelimhan Hamitsaev walks that line beautifully, bringing a playful sculptural presence to a piece that’s fundamentally about function. At first glance, the Tong looks like it might topple over. That

We use spoons dozens of times a day without giving them a second thought. They’re just there, scooping soup, stirring coffee, delivering cereal to our mouths with mechanical reliability. But BKID co asked a question that sounds almost absurd at first: what if spoons were alive? What if they could evolve like living organisms, adapting

The LEGO Brick Clogs are not subtle. They are not refined. They are giant red rectangles that you strap to your feet, complete with four oversized studs jutting from the top like a toddler’s building block scaled up for adult wear. This is footwear that makes no apologies for its absurdity. Your feet disappear entirely

The IndigoGo! by Indigo River Tiny Homes redefines what compact living can look like. This single-level tiny house eliminates the typical loft bedroom found in most mobile dwellings, creating an accessible design that prioritizes ease of movement and travel convenience. Everything is arranged on one level without any lofts, making it an ideal choice for

Furniture is now understood as a core architectural component rather than a purely functional addition to a space. In 2026, instead of sharp, rigid forms, current design directions favor softer, organic silhouettes that promote comfort and visual calm. These shapes help create interiors that feel more balanced and human-centred, supporting everyday use while enhancing the

Vertical mice promise ergonomic relief. MMO mice deliver tactical control. Pick one, because the market says you can’t have both. Except SOLAKAKA apparently didn’t get that memo. The E9 Pro arrives as the first vertical MMO mouse, featuring a 45 degree ergonomic grip alongside a 10 button thumb panel that would make World of Warcraft

Playing the Switch 2 for more than an hour in handheld mode means the flat Joy-Cons and small buttons start to feel like a compromise. Your hands end up clawed around the rails, drift anxiety creeps in, and you start shifting your grip to avoid cramping. NYXI’s Hyperion 3 is built for people who treat

There’s something oddly satisfying about counting things. Maybe it’s the same reason people find numbered lists so appealing, or why we instinctively organize our world into sequences. By-Enjoy Design seems to understand this perfectly with their OneToTea packaging for CHASHAN’s white tea pearls, turning what could have been just another tea box into something that

Most table lamps quietly disappear into the background, doing their job without much thought. There is the usual formula: a base, a stem, a shade, and how they become part of the furniture, you stop noticing. JAL from Barcelona studio Som by Mos leans into that ordinariness on purpose, then uses a very small twist
