Today, you have to go quite far to find yourself in an area without a connection and where signals do not catch. But now there is no need to escape to the mountains, to a remote island or deep in the forest, as designer Agata Nowak has come up with The Offline Chair, a comfortable chair that blocks Wi-Fi connection and signal, thus offering an offline zone in the comfort of your home.

Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time. And one time I play the role of a moviegoer, another time a nanny. Life offers such a wide range of things that it would be pointless to dip your brush in just a color or two, right?
Golf is too expensive a sport for you, and you don't play soccer because you have two left feet. Maybe it's time to try footgolf, a young recreational sport discipline that emerged in 2006, and the first tournament as we know it today was organized in 2008 in the Netherlands. Since then, his popularity has spread like wildfire, and after "foot golf" drove America crazy, he also set foot on Slovenian soil in the spring. You can play a game of footgolf in Bovec, Piran and Ptuj.
Surfing is closely related to the weather, so every surfer regularly looks at the sky, or better, at the horizon, and looks out for suitable waves. From now on, they will no longer have to get up early for a perfect "session", adapt to the weather, tides and other things they cannot control. The paradise for surfers is no longer Morocco, nor Australia, the mecca for wave lovers is now Snowdinia in Wales, a lake with artificial waves that carry you as much as 150 meters!
The English actor from the big screen, Robert Pattinson, who became famous with the vampire saga Twilight, has proven to be more than just a teenage idol many times. Admittedly, the screaming teenage girls didn't stop, but this experience came in handy when filming the James Dean biography Life. Admittedly, he did not portray the famous actor himself, who personifies the term rebel without a cause - Dane DeHaan stepped into his shoes - but a photojournalist who sees something more in the then unknown actor.
Promised bread is eaten the most, and even Quentin Tarantino ate it. After pulling out of his eighth film, The Hateful Eight, last year in frustration because the script was leaked prematurely, he changed his mind after cooling off and made it. Since then, the gun or the rifle has not cooled down in front of the camera, as it is a western with a proven cast. There are Kurt Russell, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Bruce Dern, Walton Goggins and somehow Samuel L. Jackson, without whom Tarantino's film is almost indispensable.
Since 2011, on August 12, we have celebrated World Elephant Day, which is dedicated to raising awareness, spreading knowledge and finding solutions for a better tomorrow for both wild elephants and elephants living in captivity (zoos, circuses, etc.). Elephants, which are one of the nine species of animals that masturbate in addition to humans, face many challenges, especially illegal hunting, which has greatly reduced their population and will soon become an endangered species. And we will not act like an elephant when we say that they are even threatened with extinction at this rate of killing. African elephants are currently a vulnerable species, while Indian elephants are an endangered species.
POD-iDladla is a mobile home from a box, which is like a box. You get this 24 square meter home in a box and it is assembled on the spot into a small but comfortable apartment that has everything that adults have. The authors of POD-iDladle are North African architect Clara da Cruz Almeida and the company Dokter and Misses.
Hyundai recently presented the Vision G Coupé concept, a kind of "trailer" or "teaser" for the future premium models of this South Korean car brand and proof that the Equus will not be just an excursion. For him, the designers and engineers from many Hyundai design centers from all over the world butted their heads, like a kind of knights of the round table - after all, the "theme" was chivalry - and the Americans had the deciding vote, and the "veto" was somehow in the hands of brand president Peter Schreyer. And you can see the result below.
Lucy is a lighting system where Italian design meets robotics. It is an intelligent mirror that follows the sun during the day, reflects sunlight and directs it to the same place in the room throughout the day. Natural light is very important for people, as it has a beneficial effect on health, well-being and psycho-physical abilities, and it also creates a pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, the rooms are not always planned in her favor. But that's why we have Lucy, which delivers what windows can't.
Chairs are an important piece of furniture in every room and a place where we spend (too) much of the day these days. But in addition to their work function, they are also in the service of aesthetics. This time, therefore, we are not presenting you with the most comfortable and ergonomic chairs on the market, but with the most unusual chairs in the world, which capture attention with their striking design.
A church might not seem like an ideal place to live, but the architects at Scrafano Architects have convinced us otherwise, who, in collaboration with Linc Thelen Design, turned an empty church in Chicago into a beautiful family apartment. The pews, pulpit, altar, confessionals and other religious "furniture" had to go, replaced by minimalist, secular pieces of furniture, while the "belly" of the church remained intact, including the beautiful arched windows and stained glass windows. Thus, history and modernity meet in every room.
Can you imagine what everyday objects would talk about if they could talk? Illustrator Salim Zerrouk gave them human characteristics and envisioned just that. Want to know what the thermometer thinks about its job? What would the pad vs. tampon debate be about? What would a child be like between the sun and the cloud?
