Designed by Rotterdam-based designer Sabine Marcelis for BD Barcelona , the Stedelijk Chair made its debut at this year’s Milan Design Week. Although Marcelis is typically recognized for her use of vibrant, gradient colors, ironically, it is the stark, uniform appearance of aluminum in the Stedelijk Chair that offers a refreshing change. This departure from her usual palette highlights the raw beauty of the single material used, offering both a statement of design philosophy and a reflecti

If you’ve ever laced up a pair of hiking boots with the intent of sloshing around in the backcountry of a rain dampened forest, across a swamp, or through a tropical jungle, you know keeping water – and the occasional uninvited critter – from socializing with your toes is often a priority. Which makes the Vivobarefoot Jungle ESC an interesting outlier – an expedition-grade barefoot boot built for jungle exploration – that takes on a completely different approach.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

His surrealist paintings, drawings, and portraits aren’t mere depictions; they’re reality turned inside-out, a portal into the depths of the human psyche and the inherent paradoxes of existence. Cheval embraces the philosophy of absurdism. For him, it’s not just a dusty concept, but a vibrant counterpoint to reality, a funhouse mirror reflecting the contradictions and inherent str

From visually impaired users who rely on assistive technology, to people with a temporary injury such as a broken arm, tech users are forever diverse and beautifully unique. The products we design can, and should, reflect the extremely wide range of human experiences and needs.
