Most people buy a phone case the same way they buy a phone. They want it to feel like them. Some people want basic, slim protection that keeps the phone looking as close to naked as possible. Others want rugged, military-grade armor that could survive a construction site. Some hunt for modular systems with swappable […]
Regeneration of Urban Village Memory by BENTU DESIGN Inorganic Growth is a research-driven project by BENTU DESIGN that converts construction waste from demolished urban villages into 3D printed urban furniture. By combining material reactivation with digital fabrication, the initiative transforms discarded concrete, brick rubble, and mortar into printable composites with cementitious performance. The developed
Most tablets arrive as sealed objects with decisions already made for you: storage is fixed, the battery is buried somewhere inaccessible, and the operating system is whatever the manufacturer chose. You use the device on those terms until it slows down or falls out of software support, and then you replace it. Brax Technologies, the

Floating design is a product-led architectural approach that prioritizes spatial freedom and visual continuity. By lifting elements from the ground, spatial and product design achieves clarity, allowing products, surfaces, and volumes to read as lighter, more refined interventions within the space. In contemporary interior architecture, this language of suspension reflects a precise balance between engineering

His work is driven by a love of intricate sci‑fi structures, strong lighting and color, and “thought‑provoking stories” about technology, isolation
Every year, MWC arrives with the promise of seeing the future of mobile technology, or at least a very expensive approximation of it. The 2026 edition in Barcelona was the event’s 20th anniversary in the city, and while nearly 105,000 people showed up, there was a noticeable shift in what filled the booths. Fewer headline-grabbing

Resonique ladder fuses functional object and sculptural form SO KOIZUMI DESIGN has developed Resonique, a ladder that explores the relationship between functional structure and sculptural form. The project draws on the structural logic of ladders while referencing the flowing geometries associated with brass musical instruments. Through this combination, the object shifts from a purely
