A Bizarre Fashion Item for Making Your Clothes Fit Better

2 February 2026 @ 2:00 pm

In New York I ran a photography studio, and witnessed a lot of fashion shoots. The clothes would be delivered from the fashion designer's studio, and it was the stylist's job to make those clothes fit whatever models had been hired for the shoot. Because shoots move quickly, and the garments couldn't be physically modified, stylists frequently used safety pins, binder clips and the like to pinch the fabric (on the side of the model's body that the camera couldn't see).So I was amused to see this Eye Clip, by Issey Miyake. It's basically an XL version of what a stylist might use during a shoot. It's meant to be worn out in the open, and al

From China, a Better Design for a Range Hood

30 January 2026 @ 3:00 pm

Chinese company Arspura developed an industrial technology to protect workers from toxic gases. It worked well, and the company then found a larger market: Domestic kitchens.Your average range hood uses a simple fan, and relies on brute CFM to suck up cooking fumes. In contrast, Arspura's IQV (Inclined Quad-Vortex) technology uses a high-speed jet to generate four vortices and an "anti-leakage air curtain." This sucks up smoke and PM2.5 particles right above the cookware, preventing it from escaping into the room.

An Architect Designs a Light, Stiff, Fast Folding Bicycle

30 January 2026 @ 2:00 pm

Brompton is probably the market leader for folding bikes. However, their single-hinge folding design, while fast and convenient, sacrifices ride quality. Architect Il Hoon Roh thus set out to design a bicycle that would maintain the stiffness of a traditional diamond frame, yet still be able to break down. The result, which took nearly a decade of development work, is his Mikalon bike:

Tesla Cancels Models S and X, Doubles Down on Humanoid Robots

29 January 2026 @ 4:00 pm

Image: Bin im Garten, CC BY-SA 3.0 When Tesla launched their $100,000 Roadster in 2008, they laid out their plan: This expensive, high-perfomance EV sports car would eventually fund more affordable models. Eighteen years later, that's more or less come to pass. On their recent earnings call, Tesla announced they're canceling their $80,000 Model S and $85,000 Model X, and henceforth will only produce the $38,000 Model 3, the $45,000 Model Y and the (allegedly) sub-$30,000 Cybercab set to launch in April.

RTIC's Designey Stainless Steel Drinks Tumblers with Ceramic Linings

29 January 2026 @ 3:00 pm

Trained as an industrial designer, Rebecca Goesling is the Director of Design for the Goesling Group. The Illinois-based firm is known for doing interior design, trend forecasting and CMF, the latter of which is Rebecca's specialty. She recently applied these chops to this Happy Hour Collection of designey drinkware. These are in production by RTIC Outdoors, a Texas-based manufacturer of outdoor goods vying to take Yeti on.

A Waffle Iron that Makes Waffle Bowls

29 January 2026 @ 2:00 pm

When trying to explain injection molding to a non-industrial-designer, I often use the example of a waffle iron. While the kitchen gadget doesn't have sprues, it's generally enough to get the idea across. It also helps people understand parting lines and flashing.But the thing about a waffle iron is, you can't change the tooling. You get just one shape of waffle. I never thought about that until I came across this Presto Belgian Waffle Bowl Maker, by American kitchen gadget brand National Presto Industries. You can see what it does:

An Industrial Designer's More-Convenient Bike Storage Solution

28 January 2026 @ 4:00 pm

Most in-garage bicycle storage solutions are fixed: You have a hook you hang it from, or maybe a pulley system to get the bike out of the way. Installing one of these requires commitment, with you effectively dedicating the space, which may be in short supply, to the bike.In contrast this Flip object, by British industrial designer George Laight, offers the convenience of a rack with the added benefit of portability. The bike can be stored vertically, saving space, and the entire thing can be wheeled around, making garage clean-ups and reorganizing sessions easy.

Japanese Overdesign: Karimoku's Gorgeous Oak Coat Hanger

28 January 2026 @ 3:00 pm

This exquisitely-crafted Oak coat hanger is by Japanese furniture manufacturer Karimoku. They've applied the same level of attention to it as one of their chair legs. The result is an almost absurdly overdesigned, overcrafted object that I badly want to touch. In particular I wish there was a close-up shot of the joint; the transition to the "neck" of the hanger appears to have been masterfully executed. "This hanger, characterized by its straight lines that slo

How to Manage Subcontractors More Efficiently in Complex Builds

29 April 2025 @ 5:02 am

Managing subcontractors is often one of the trickiest parts of a build. As projects grow more complex, with overlapping tasks, tight timelines and increasing client expectations, keeping trades coordinated and on schedule becomes more of a juggling act. When done well, subcontractor management keeps everything moving smoothly. When it falls apart, delays, miscommunication and cost overruns can quickly take hold.[...]

According to the U.N. Environmental Program, the construction industry is not making enough efforts to achieve net-zero emissions. While all sectors are making efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the construction sector is still to get an organized strategy. Today, up to 50% of the world's climate change is caused by the construction sector. The same industry is responsible for up to 40% of the pollution in water bodies. These figures just go to show, how significant the construction industry is in regards to environmental impact.[...]

Best cut flower varieties for a sustainable home garden

14 August 2023 @ 4:30 pm

Cut flowers sounded easy when I started gardening. Just plant some flowers and then cut them, right? Well, there is a lot more to it than that.

It also can be hard to find the right varieties in sustainable versions. [...]

A young shaman named Lucas alternately prayed in Quechua and explained things to us in Spanish, both translated by our guide Wilfredo Huillca. The shaman added quinoa, corn, confetti and other symbolic items to Pachamama, the Andean earth mother. Fortunately, modern rituals substitute animal cookies for alpaca sacrifices.[...]
