C’est un rêve de jeunesse qui se réalise pour la designer Emily Oberman lorsqu’en 2012 elle se voit proposer de créer la nouvelle identité visuelle, graphique et typographique des films dérivés de la saga Harry Potter, à travers une police d’écriture… Celle-ci, dévoilée lors de la campagne promotionnelle du film Les Animaux Fantastiques, a été savamment nommée Fontastic Beasts, Crimes New Roman. L’équipe a travailler à créer une identité visuelle suffisamment complexe et complète pour survivre au succès du deuxième volet du monde des sorciers. Chaque lettre a donc été dessinée avec une version “clean” et une version “hairy”, mais les deux versions sont mélangées dans les titres afin de garder une large palette de créativité à l’avenir.
La collection en édition limitée HAY for Sonos est composée d’une série d’enceintes qui réinvente le Sonos One avec une nouvelle gamme de couleurs tirées de la palette HAY pour 2018. Récemment la paper artiste Maud Vantours, le chef Yoni Saada, la décoratrice d’intérieur Zoé de Las Cases, l’illustratrice Iris de Mouy et l’artiste végétal Mr Plant ont choisi de raconter en image leur expérience musicale et leur perception du home design avec la mise en scène très personnelle et créative de leur enceinte HAY Sonos One.
Parmi les cinq couleurs des enceintes de l’édition limitée Hay Sonos One, chaque talent a choisi sa teinte favorite afin de mettre en scène, dans son intérieur, cette enceinte au design très coloré et minimaliste.
Chaque image créée dévoile les personnalités des cinq talents aux univers forts tout en les rassemblant autour d’une idée commune. La musique peut être le point de départ de l’inspiration et vient accompagner la création, le design habille la musique et se fond dans l’intérieur pour laisser libre cours à l’imagination du créateur.
« Pour moi, la couleur est l’un des outils les plus importants dans le processus du design, souligne Mette Hay. Je pense que chaque objet possède sa propre gamme de couleurs : je n’utiliserais pas les mêmes pour un nouveau fauteuil et pour un objet en porcelaine, et pourtant, ils peuvent très bien cohabiter et se compléter. Lorsque j’ai commencé à travailler sur les couleurs à utiliser chez Sonos, je savais exactement ce qu’il nous fallait. »

I’ll let you in on a little secret. People who watch Netflix or stream full-length movies on their tiny mobile phone screens are more likely to be psychopaths. This isn’t a scientific study, this is just one of those things like putting milk first and cereal after. There’s a universal standard to preparing cereal, Sharon, and it’s clearly by putting the flakes first and adding the milk later. Similarly, the only acceptable way to watch movies and TV series is on a large screen, and not a 6-inch cluster of pixels.
That’s where pico-projectors come into the picture (geddit, into the picture?). These projectors are small and powerful enough to cast a projection the size of your laptop screen, have the battery capacity of roughly 5-6 hours, allowing you to beam your smartphone screen onto a wall and binge watch a good 3-4 episodes at a time on a relatively big screen. They’re nice and all that, but they don’t match up to the PIQO projector, the Napoleon of pico projectors.
Small enough to fit in your pocket, the PIQO outshines (geddit, outshines?) every projector in its category. It can cast a massive 240-inch screen with a resolution of 1080p on any flat surface, allowing you to turn practically any place you go into your own personal theater. It also packs powerful speakers too that complement the crisp bright picture (200 ANSI Lumens), and a battery that supports 50 hours of music playback or 5 hours of video playback. To really round things off, the PIQO even comes with fast-charging, allowing you to completely charge its battery in roughly over an hour.
The PIQO’s the kind of projector you’ll want to take everywhere because you can. It comes with a nifty tripod and a remote, and pairs with everything from your phone to your tablet, laptop, game console, and even supports flash drives (it comes with Bluetooth 5.0, Airplay compatibility, and wi-fi screen mirroring). The PIQO runs Android, letting you access all your streaming and browsing apps on it without pairing devices, and even letting you download content to its 16gb internal drive for offline viewing!
Designed to make projectors ubiquitous pieces of tech that you always have access to, the PIQO can be used to watch movies, stream videos, play games, watch matches, or even put up presentations. Unbelievably powerful for its size and uncompromisingly compatible across products and scenarios, the PIQO makes carrying a 240-inch high definition with you convenient and possible… because watching something as grand as Game of Thrones or The Crown on a screen the size of your palm should be a punishable offence.

Many people gravitate towards therapy during times of crisis, so why are most therapy offices loud, awkward and uncomfortable? This is something I’ve experienced personally when I tried out therapy in college. My therapist’s office was filled with stark white walls, office furniture, obnoxious sound machines and plenty of awkward encounters with other patients throughout the journey. Granted this was a college medical center, but that doesn’t mean it was an acceptable experience. After my second visit, I didn’t go back. Maybe I’m a design snob, or maybe there’s an actual problem with the way these offices are designed. Either way, we can probably agree that therapy offices could be better.
Patients aren’t the only ones fed up with this type of environment. After talking with various providers, former VP of Care Delivery at Oscar Harry Ritter noticed a clear trend in the distain for uncomfortable, uninspiring office environments. Cue Ritter’s idea to found Alma, a co-practice space for independent therapists and other wellness experts, such as acupuncturists and nutritionists.
Alma aims to elevate and humanize the experience of going to therapy and other similar medical appointments through small design details that make a big difference. The first being the overall calming design of the space (furniture, plants, natural materials, colors, etc.), which was designed by Lauren Spear. Spear has also designed spaces for Google, Vice, Tesla and more.
The awkward waiting room is where every therapy appointment begins, and it’s often one patients dread. The uncomfortable feeling starts with showing your driver’s license when you enter the building and it ends with your therapist calling your name out when they’re ready for you.
To avoid all of these triggers, Alma sends each patient a personalized digital security badge before each appointment so they can discreetly show it at the front desk and slide right on by. Once in the waiting room, simply sign in on a digital tablet, and you will receive a text with a room number when your therapist is ready for you. The waiting room is designed so that no two seats are directly facing each other, making it more difficult to lock eyes with other patients. Alma has also partnered with Headspace to offer free meditation sessions, which are tucked away in quiet “meditation pods”.
Each private room is as similar to the next as it possibly can be, down to the exact same art on the walls and books on each shelf. Ritter noted that consistency in environment is important for both the therapist and the patient to feel at ease session after session.
To keep noise levels down without sticking distracting noise machines in each room, tiny circular sound machines are placed on the walls outside of each room, creating a gentle whooshing sound throughout the hallways. The rooms are also soundproof, which ensures that privacy will actually happen during each appointment.
The Alma experience is equally catered towards the therapists who practice at the co-working space as it is to the patients who choose to visit. The community aspect is similar to a WeWork model, giving therapists access to an event space, private phone booths to make patient phone calls, a whole new social network and a well-designed space to schedule appointments in. After sighing up to be a member, each therapist is interviewed, and the results are published to Alma’s directory of providers, making the therapist/patient matching process much more personable and less of a cold call. I’ll end by saying that after visiting Alma to see the space (and test out the meditation pods), it’s clear that this type of therapy experience is long overdue.
