So which one to choose?

When the rain surprises us, an umbrella is an indispensable companion, but it can also be a fashion accessory. But this is where their role usually ends. But not for the Phone-brella umbrella by KT Design, which reinvents the handle and adapts it to the times. Because just as rain and umbrella are inextricably linked, in the 21st century we are humans and smartphones. And knowing how difficult it is to use them while holding an umbrella, Phone-brella is the innovation we've been waiting for like a desert.
In addition to a backpack, a tent is also part of the mandatory equipment of every traveler and hiker. Until now, we have always looked at them as two separate units, but this is no longer necessarily the case. Tenativ has prepared a tent backpack that combines their Moedal backpack and Totem tent, providing us with space for equipment and shelter at the same time. You can get it on Kickstarter.

Pigalle Duperré is a basketball court like you have never seen before, as it works as if you had drawn it.

Behind the project stands Ill-Studio, which has teamed up with the French fashion brand Pigalle on this occasion.
Cats hate it when we humans use the computer because it distracts us from the purpose of our existence - to serve them. That's why they always hang around us. What can one do in such a case? The solution is the Suck.Uk scratching post in laptop form! A cheap solution that serves as bait. Because, would you rather pay a few hundred euros to insure your computer equipment or would you rather shell out 31 euros for a "pr(ask) carrier"?

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.

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.
