Playing With Fire

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 08:21 AM PDT

So to speak! Humo is the non-conformist ashtray from Studio Nocc that explores the artistic side of smoking. The blown glass ashtray holds in the smoke like a windowed cage, creating interesting shapes and movement as it swirls inside. Masculine and timeless, it’s a sophisticated addition to any cigar room, lounge or man cave!

It’s like a ceiling light for your bag!

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 12:01 AM PDT

Digging through the dark, cavernous void that is your backpack or handbag can be frustrating when you’re in need of something quick! The Ziplite is the answer to your woes! A simple, small LED is integrated into the underside of the zipper and automatically illuminates the interior when unzipped, making it easy to find what you’re looking for. The light turns off when fully zipped, making it a handy reminder to zip up when you’re finished too!

Designer: Pranav Balasubramanian

Leather Goods for the Purist

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 12:01 AM PDT

Almost all leather goods are made by cutting with knives or die cut, then stitched or glued together, & finally embossed or imprinted with a name or logo. PACT leather cases are entirely different! Inspired by origami, architect Darrin Griechen has created a process whereby leather is cut into extremely precise patterns using computer-guided lasers, & then woven & folded together by hand. No thread, glue or hardware. This “unilateral” construction method allows for pieces that are both strong & durable. With no other materials to wear out, they also age beautifully.

The PACT minimalism extends to how each piece is branded. You won’t find a name or logo anywhere. Instead, a small discreet dot pattern is laser-engraved into each piece. The pattern is different for every owner so no two are alike.

Designer: Darrin Griechen

The Ultimate Kitchen Assistant

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 12:01 AM PDT

Taste Bud works like it sounds, but with even greater functionality! Working in tandem with a native smartphone app, its the ultimate kitchen assistant. It uses a combination of sensors to detect food temperature, freshness and preparedness. Tap into an egg to see if it’s safe, or check the internal temperature of meats to ensure they’re thoroughly cooked. Waterproof and heat-resistant, you can even leave it in cooking food mixtures to alert you when it’s ready!
