Four years is a long time in smartphone design, long enough for entire product categories to rise, peak, and fade. Samsung has cycled through multiple foldable generations. Google has rebooted its Pixel lineup twice. Nothing has gone from startup curiosity to legitimate contender. Apple, meanwhile, has kept the Dynamic Island exactly where it was when […]

The tiny house world has long wrestled with one unavoidable tension — the desire for light, openness, and space against the hard constraints of a compact footprint. Escape’s Shoreline Glass House doesn’t just address that tension; it dissolves it entirely. This recently completed park model is one of the most spatially generous and light-saturated tiny

You can keep all the LEGO builds on one side and the life-sized version on the other; the latter will always be more impressive. The McLaren P1 driven by Lando Norris, and the Ferrari Monza SP1 are prime examples of cars that look better in their LEGO-ized version. The Moza SP1, designed specifically as a LEGOLAND

We use them by the billion to sleep on airplanes,

Biomimicry in architecture usually means borrowing structural logic from nature. Honeycomb patterns for strength, lotus leaves for water repellency, termite mounds for passive cooling. Thilina Liyanage takes a different approach. He’s interested in the moment when an animal does something so visually arresting that the form itself becomes a kind of language. His latest project,

There are a few driver’s watches as acceptable and undeniably luring as the Amida Digitrend, first launched way back in 1976 (the same year when Apple was born). The fanfare had Amida and watch designer Matthieu Allègre revisit the timepiece in 2024, and now, to commemorate its 50th year since launch, the Digitrend is revived
