Jimmy has lived in LA for many years, but was born in Brooklyn and whether it’s about food or sports, there is a rivalry between New York and L.A. Kids who’ve never been to either city seem to be born with the idea that their town is the best, so we decided to have some fun with that by asking who’s smarter in a new LA vs NY â Kids Edition…(Read…)

We measure and take special care of everything we put in the bodies of our children. From food to drink, we make sure they get exactly what they need and go to great lengths to keep the unhealthy stuff away. Then what about the air they breathe? Air quality has progressively gotten worse since when we were children, with polluting chemicals being only a small part of a very large problem. The air holds suspended particles of smoke (tobacco, car-smoke, etc.), bacteria, viruses, fungi, allergens, and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like aerosols, benzene, etc.
Designed to look almost like a playful monster who eats up everything bad, the PLIBE (showcased at CES 2018) is a child-friendly air purifier that uses cutting-edge plasma ionization technology to purify the air in one’s immediate surroundings. Its monstrous avatar is engaging and playful, becoming almost like a child’s friend (in every sense!). The PLIBE clips anywhere, from a stroller to a bassinet/crib, working for 7 hours on a single charge. Its Plasma ionization purification means it doesn’t use any anti-pollutant chemicals/disinfectants or chemical-coated filters to clean the air. The plasma ion generator doesn’t need replacement either, and can be used indefinitely. It just needs manual cleaning once a week.
Running on a simple battery that can be charged via MicroUSB, the PLIBE is ideal for both outdoors and indoors. The air we breathe now is dramatically worse than what we breathed as children. With new pollutants entering the air every day (thanks to growing industrialization) and new viruses like the Zika making their appearance only in this decade, the air we breathe grows worse every day, even more so for children, with their developing immunity system. Plibe’s design puts healthy living and care in the palm of your hand. A much better solution than gas masks that inhibit one’s breathing while only partially purifying the air, PLIBE does a remarkable job of purifying the air of everything harmful, ensuring your child always breathes the purest air possible!

About Plasma Technology
This technology originates from conquest of space. When we supply energy (such as heat) to a substance, its state changes: from solid to liquid and to gas. If further energy is applied, the gas becomes ionized and transformed directly into plasma. Plasma is therefore the result of the transformation of the water present in the air into OH- and HOO- and of the oxygen of the air into 02- and 03+ anion. All these negative ions and positive ions have a direct impact in purifying the air. When the free radicals OH-, HOO- encounter a harmful substance, they rapidly surround, break down and eliminate the harmful material.
Smoke Test
Note: The tests are done with a device that uses the same plasma ion generating module that PLIBE has.

Basée à Varsovie, Anna Caban-Szypenbeil est designer 3D. Elle utilise souvent des peintures et des dessins faits à la main dans son travail. Récemment, elle a réalisé le projet « The Bloom ». Ce travail représente des formes 3D abstraites, conçues en utilisant la technique de marbrage de papier. L’objectif ? Exprimer la magie de la création, et représenter une certaine évolution. Ses oeuvres sont à découvrir sur Behance et sur Instagram.
Le studio de design japonais Nendo nous impressionne encore une fois avec le dernier haut-parleur, Bunaco. Fabriqué à partir de lamelles de bois de hêtre, qui pousse abondamment à Aomori au Japon, ce haut-parleur sans fil a une qualité acoustique incroyable en raison de la resistance du materiel à l’eau et de ses qualités absorbantes. L’objet est soutenu par un cylindre acrylique transparent, nous permettant de nous émerveiller de son artisanat.
This classic Swatch watch style gets a traditional update by way of a very British pattern. The “Red Jacket” design is old school hunting-inspired, with horses, hounds and more making their way across the dial and strap. With a silicone and plastic……

I love this fan almost as much as I love a bad pun. Don’t be deceived by its big name, the Whale is a personal fan with a super-compact form designed to help you beat the heat just about anywhere! Named after its ridges that resemble those on a whale’s belly, it’s ergonomically shaped to fit comfortably in the hand while safely concealing its fan blade safely. Perfect for a variety of occasions from sporting events to the beach, you can toss it in a bag and take it with you on the go. Its convenient strap is easy to attach to a key ring, backpack or even a lanyard so you can wear it around your neck!
