In Mandarin, the phrase 马上 (mǎ shàng) translates literally as “on horseback,” but its common meaning is “immediately” or “without delay.” It’s a concept of swiftness and forward momentum. For its Year of the Horse timepiece, CIGA Design has built an entire watch around this clever piece of wordplay. The design embodies that feeling of […]

At just 16 ft (4.9 m) long, the Genesis 16′ from Dragon Tiny Homes is one of the more compact tiny houses on the market. Despite its modest footprint, the layout accommodates a living area, a well-equipped kitchen, a full bathroom, and a lofted bedroom, making it a more complete package than its dimensions suggest.

The Woodman’s Pal is an 84-year-old Pennsylvania tool that the US Army adopted almost immediately after its 1941 introduction, issuing it to Signal Corps troops in the Pacific and eventually to pilots as a survival blade through Vietnam and Desert Storm. It costs $169.95, uses 1075 high-carbon spring steel, and is still hand-assembled in Lancaster

Everyone keeps saying print is dying. I have heard it so many times that it barely registers anymore, even though there’s a lot of proof in terms of book sales, paper conferences, and a lot of other events that prove otherwise. And then Red Bull goes ahead and drops a magazine cover you can actually

Apple just gave the AirPods Max a brain transplant, and after five years on H1 silicon that was already a generation behind when the AirPods Pro 2 launched in 2022, it was due.

Footwear collaborations exist, too, but they rarely go further than embroidering a grille badge onto an existing sneaker. This Alfa Romeo-inspired concept shoe takes

There are very few 4×4 SUVs that have what it takes to become capable adventure camper vans. One of them is the INEOS Grenadier, which Alabama-based Storyteller Overland has transformed into a customized camping rig that any all-terrain adventurer would want to hop into. Called the Grand Bohemian, this global expedition vehicle is one of

Most bathroom counters tell a story of good intentions. There’s the electric toothbrush, the whitening strips half-squeezed out of their foil, maybe a tray or a pen that got used twice before disappearing behind the moisturizer. Whitening has always been a separate ritual, something you commit to on top of brushing, which is exactly why
