In the summer, we often move the kitchen to the open air, but what if we are mostly limited to the grill. But what if that's not always enough? This is where things get complicated. For picnics, food must be prepared in advance at home, in the camp we eat "outside" or simply. That's why the Camp Champ company of our northern neighbors found a solution for all those who miss the luxury of a full-fledged kitchen during picnics or camping, and therefore don't want to tow a caravan or rent a motor home. It is a compact wooden cube box that can be disassembled into a proper kitchen with a stove, counter and kitchen equipment.
At the design studio Bernstrand & Co. have designed a colorful line of chairs for public use that will soon adorn the streets of the Swedish city of Bollnäs.
The dream of every minimalist is certainly CLING – a magnetic clothes hanger that successfully replaces unattractive and space-inefficient hangers. The neodymium magnet hanger thus offers a new approach and perspective with which we look at hanging our clothes.
The arrival of the Nest Cam device was somewhat expected, if we remember that Nest, which was founded by two former Apple people, recently bought the company DropCam. Nest has already controlled your home heating thermostat and detected smoke and carbon monoxide, and the Nest Cam also keeps an eye on the house like a watchdog. It is a direct descendant of the DropCam Pro camera, but slimmer, with a resolution of 1080p (the predecessor was capable of 720p), with a night view and an online service that allows you to follow the action anywhere in the world.
Swings are usually placed outside, in nature and made only for children's use.

Industrial designer Roy Harpaz had two things in mind when designing the vertical turntable "Toc" - he wanted to design a functional and at the same time stylish product.
Summer is just around the corner, which means vacations and more exposure to the sun. That's why it's time to start thinking about how you will ensure adequate protection from the scorching sun on the beach. The feather-light Neso sunshade with protection of more than 50 UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) is the right answer to the sun's rays, as it provides effective protection against dangerous UV radiation.
Kafetjera Duo is an innovative upgrade of the traditional "french press", a simple device for preparing coffee without coffee grounds, which was patented in 1929 by the Italian designer Attillio Calimani.

You have one in your drawer, right? The poor, neglected iPhone 4S, which served you faithfully all, sorry, all year. How can you be so heartless as to leave your once most faithful companion unattended in a dark room the minute a younger smartphone comes by, when it could be proudly shining or playing music on your desk. Thanks to designer Ivan Zhurba, this is now possible, as he has developed a lamp that lures old iPhones out of dormancy and uses them as a light and speaker.
Like the great architects, the greatest film directors also have their own recognizable signature, something by which they are instantly recognized. This was proven by the artist and architect Federico Babino from Barcelona, who imagined what the houses would look like if famous directors were architects. He packaged the architectural ideas that are inextricably linked with their cinematic masterpieces into the Archidirector project. And for an architect, the solutions are absolutely phenomenal, just as their films are phenomenal.
