Porsche and Vitra have collaborated to create the Pepita Edition. Combining Vitra’s elegant contours with Porsche’s legendary Pepita fabric pattern, the three models – the Eames Chair, the ID Trim L and the Petit Repos – have been reinterpreted. In 1948, the Eames couple, who created the lounge chair, submitted their design to the Museum of Modern Art design competition, and in the same year, Porsche presented its first sports car, the 356. The meeting of two classics creates a unique atmosphere. The black and white houndstooth pattern […]
Samsung has unveiled new Odyssey, ViewFinity, and Smart Monitor models with AI-based displays.

The size that can be held in the hand and the point color scheme match the Super Nintendo’s […] ]

Sony has launched a wearable air conditioner ‘Leon Pocket 5’. This product actually created the air conditioner that everyone fantasized about in the summer. Hang it discreetly behind your neck and send a cool breeze down your spine. Instead of blowing wind into your face, it cools the inside of your clothes. I think it could have the same effect as the heated chairs at Korean bus stops. It is a product of Sony Thermo Technology, an affiliate company created through Sony's in-house startup development program. […] ]

Nothing has released the AI-powered 'Nothing Ear' and Nothing Ear(a). Nothing's unique transparent bubble design grammar is beautifully applied. There are many wireless earphones that use achromatic colors, but the vivid yellow color makes it stand out. There's even a transparent yellow frog that appears, making it hard to forget. The vertically long, serif-emphasized font and minimal house music remind me of an early Apple advertisement. Simple […]

Introducing ‘Loop’, a beautiful ear plug from Belgium. Loop is a product made to protect your ears from noise, just like you wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from ultraviolet rays. Usually, when you think of ‘earplugs’, a form of foam that completely blocks the ear canal comes to mind. The longer you use it, the more black stains appear and the more sticky it becomes. It is a simple consumable that is used a few times and then discarded, and its only functional purpose is to block sound. It was an extreme and crude method of blocking sound altogether to reduce noise. new [… ]

It is a clock that is all white, like a pure white moon. It consists of a white dial, white case, and white Velcro strap. Snoopy is sleeping on the auxiliary disk to the right of the clock, where you can see the current shape of the moon. It is not normally visible, but when the surroundings become dark, the moon and stars […] ]
Dyson unveiled a new model, the Dyson Supersonic Neural, in Seoul. Dyson reportedly saw Korea as a potential test bed and decided to showcase Dyson's latest technology in Seoul. We applied a unique and bold palette that seems to be used only on hypercars. I'm used to the combination of dark purple blue and bright orange because it's a signature Dyson combination, but the new mint color and orange combination is surprising. On the back where the LED light is attached, the internal structure is revealed through the transparent cap […] ]
