Klipsch is a brand known for premium audio devices. The company never fails to deliver top-notch speaker systems. Klipsch products include audio solutions ideal for the workstation, home office, or gaming station.

The Klipsch ProMedia Heritage 2.1 Heritage multimedia speaker system is part of the Heritage Wireless Series. The new system combines the classic design introduced by Paul W. Klipsch and the right acoustics plus the latest audio technologies. The brand is known for its performance-first engineering philosophy. It takes advantage of proprietary acoustic technology.

Designer: Klipsch

As with most speaker systems from Klipsch, this one is easy to set up. It’s easy to use and is promised to offer optimum performance. It doesn’t need any external amplification because the audio is powerful. In addition, it allows wireless streaming over Bluetooth connectivity, so you can stream from your tablet, phone, or computer.

The system includes a speaker with 1” soft dome tweeters on Tractrix horns and a 3” long-throw woofer. Klipsch acoustics’ efficiency and precision are made possible by proprietary technology. The system also includes a 100W amplifier and an 8” subwoofer. All these and more offer an immersive sound experience.

The Klipsh ProMedia Heritage 2.1 Heritage System comes with several accessories like a standard RCA input and RCA, 3.5mm auxiliary cable, plus a wireless remote. Two wood finishes are available: Walnut and Black Ash. Price reads $349, but you can buy lower on Costco for only $239.99 (member price).

The ProMedia Heritage 2.1 Multimedia Speaker System offers the best-in-class bass with an 8-inch subwoofer. The amplifier allows the deepest bass while looking really lovely with its mid-century style. The all-black version appears to be very simple. The walnut version looks more stylish, though with the wood and gray color combination. Another version combines the wood case and the black speaker grille.

What makes Klipsch a great choice is its audio performance. But, of course, it doesn’t hurt the design is also outstanding. Acoustics pioneer and Klipsch Audio founder Paul W. Klipsch knew what he was doing. He wanted to bring together power, emotion, and details to every music experience, so he started a brand that combined real engineering, efficient speaker designs, and handcrafted cabinetry. Klipsch offers premium quality audio products from headphones to speakers. It also serves audiophiles and professionals doing home theaters, cinemas, and more.

We remember Klipsch for its passion for design and acoustic. A few years ago, there was the Klipsch European Design Competition that urged many creatives and industrial designers to share their product designs. The contest was mainly for The Klipsch Heritage line.

This deceptively simple yet outrageously innovative hanger leaves no more excuses for keeping your room and closet organized.

There seems to be an almost natural compulsion to turn our clothes into UFOs the moment we step out of them, flinging them onto the bed or just cramming them into drawers and closets. Pants are often the victims of this procrastinating behavior because of the complicated way they demand to be hanged properly. Of course, that only delays the inevitable when we have to eventually sort out the mess that has become our rooms. Thankfully, some people have put serious thought, research, and work into solving that problem for the good of humankind. And like many genius inventions, the solution looks so simple that you are left scratching your head, wondering why no one has done it before. Fortunately, someone finally did and has even improved this hanger so that you will no longer lose your pants to the black hole that is your wardrobe.

We got the chance to meet the first Hurdle Hanger in 2019 and were definitely impressed. One of the recommended ways to defeat procrastination is to reduce the friction or hurdles in completing a task. Despite its ironic name, it takes literally a second or two to hang your pants, just the same amount of time you need to fling it to who knows where. The time savings also add up when you consider you’ll be picking up those same pants in the future anyway.

Version 2.0 of this ingenious organizing wonder refines the design while still keeping the signature features that made its predecessor a huge success. For example, it now uses a stainless steel swivel hook, so you don’t have to stress whether you’re hanging your clothes in the right direction. The design is also more streamlined to accommodate more than just your pants. Contrary to its name, the hanger can hold a whole outfit, from tops to bottoms to belts and caps.

The latter is made possible thanks to the signature U-type hook that’s now wider to accommodate more accessories. The Hurdle Hanger 2.0 is still made from high-quality recyclable ABS plastic, so you’re assured that it’s going to last longer than some of your clothes. High-hanging and impossibly thin, the hangers leave more room for your clothes rather than taking up precious space. Plus, the hanger’s open design makes it super easy to hang just about anything you can think of other than your pants.

Whether you need to hang your clothes in a snap or prepare your outfit for the entire week, the Hurdle Hanger for Pants 2.0 removes any and all hurdles to keeping your closet from becoming an unconquerable jungle of fabric. But more than just keeping your living space neat and tidy, it also helps reduce the stress of daily life. After all, the last thing you probably want to do on the weekend is to organize your room, so why not save yourself the time and work by spending just a second or two hanging those pants after you’ve taken them off.

The photo app has an incredible knack for predicting the biggest trends in social media and tech LONG before they catch on.

Ephemeral photos, Snapchat started it, Instagram popularized it. AR filters, started once again by Snapchat, got picked up and turned into Memojis by Apple. Snap Spectacles, launched in 2016, Facebook announced the Stories camera-embedded sunglasses in collaboration with RayBan years later. Whether you use Snapchat or not, whether you even like it or not, there’s no denying what a massive cultural impact it has had on society just by its ability to gauge where the tech wind is blowing. Snap announced its latest product today, a $250 drone named Pixy, and even though the drone market is quite saturated at the moment, Snap’s drone is slightly different – while most camera drones are designed to be specialist devices, almost like flying DSLRs or GoPros, Snap’s Pixy is like a flying version of your phone. It’s made to be incredibly intuitive, user-friendly, versatile, and has this approachable nature that just might make it an incredibly popular drone.

The drone, just like Snap’s Spectacles, is an extension of the company’s smartphone app, which already puts it off to a good start. Given that people are much more predisposed to editing videos on the Snap app than on some fancy software on the laptop, Pixy’s ability to interface with your smartphone makes it the perfect entry-level drone camera for most consumers looking to up their social media game. Videos and photos captured on the Pixy get sent right to your smartphone, and Snapchat’s own editing features let you add filters, stickers, and clip/crop/stitch videos to create masterpieces that you can post either to Snapchat or to any other social media app.

What Pixy gets right is that it was expressly designed for social media. The camera captures videos in portrait instead of the usual landscape, and can track people, allowing you to click selfies like never before. The drone’s construction isn’t incredibly intricate on first impression. Designed for first-time users, it has an enclosed propeller design, protected by plastic bumpers all around that prevent the drone from taking any damage. There’s no expensive gimbal system either – just a front-facing camera for photos and videos, and bottom-facing camera that detects your hand so the drone can safely land in your palm.

The drone weighs a paltry 101 grams, which has a big benefit in the fact that you don’t need to register it with the FAA as you would with heavier drones. However, this lightweight design means Pixy doesn’t really handle wind pretty well, and you may see incredibly shaky footage if there’s a heavy breeze around. The drone’s upper half has a knob (similar to the kind you’d see on DSLRs) that lets you cycle between its shooting modes, with orbiting, following, revealing, and landscape shooting patterns built-in. The drone can even be controlled via the app, with an integrated emergency landing feature just in case you lose control of your drone. It also comes with a detachable battery that can be swapped out and replaced on the go, with a battery capacity that Snap says should last ‘5 flight trips’.

Is this a pitch for people to go buy the Pixy? Not really. Do I think Pixy will be a consumer success story? That’s kinda debatable too, because the Snap Spectacles weren’t a runaway success either. However, with the announcement of Pixy, it’s worth noting that Snapchat’s made a trend prediction here that I definitely believe may catch on in the future. Will the Pixy be a strong part of that future? I can’t tell, although if Snap’s betting money on it, it might be worth a closer look.

The post Snapchat’s new $250 drone actually says a lot about the company’s brilliant trend predicting abilities first appeared on Yanko Design.

The Memphis 2.0 design movement was all about visualizing designs through a geometric lens. Nothing was normal, everything was simple geometry that intersected or interacted with each other. Products were fun, graphics were vibrant, and everything was eye-catching until minimalism came and took over. Hold The Phone, however, holds onto the sheer beauty of Memphis 2.0 with its blockish design language.

Created by the folks at Boem, Hold The Phone is part phone stand, part statement piece. With its simple yet bold design, Hold The Phone does exactly what it says it does, while also hiding a trick up its sleeve. The phone stand is made up of 3 elements – the stand itself, a slab-shaped piece of plastic, with a small cylindrical lip at the bottom to hoist the phone up, and a large cylindrical element at the back that props the entire structure upwards at an angle. This large rear cylinder slides upwards and downwards, adjusting the angle at which your phone rests, giving you the ability to tilt your phone at virtually any angle you need. Moreover, that large cylinder is actually hollow on the inside, allowing you to use it to store items like cables, thumb drives, SD cards, and any other tiny items you’d otherwise end up losing!

Designer: Boem

The minimalist Memphis phone dock (which looks like a percentage % sign, btw) lets you set your phone at a wide range of angles, thanks to the sliding rear cylinder. The rear cylinder sits on a simple rail and notch system, allowing it to slide up and down in a step-less manner. A friction fit ensures your cylinder stays at the angle it’s been set at, so your phone’s weight doesn’t throw it off-kilter.

If you want your own Hold Your Phone, even though it isn’t available traditionally, you can buy the 3D file for € 8.90 ($9.35) and print as many of your phone stands as you want! Feel like taking things further? How about editing the 3D file and integrating a wireless charger into the stand too?!

The chair is a piece of furniture with one primary purpose: to be sat on. It will never lose its purpose, and it will remain a significant fixture not just around the house but almost everywhere.

Chair design throughout the years has continued to evolve. You will no longer just find a basic chair because plenty of creative people are trying to reinvent design. The aesthetics of the chair often reflects the style of a designer. It also showcases a person’s thought process.

Designer: Joshua Corder

For Joshua Corder, the Tippi Chair tells us a person’s tendency to play with a chair, so it tips over. Instead of coming up with an asymmetrical chair, he comes with something that has a sloped back and angled front. The Tippi Chair’s name is derived from the “tip” movement.

The chair with the height of a stool offers a tip function which is made easier with a 5-degree tip angle. The Tippi Chair doesn’t really have separate legs but the front and back support serve the same purpose. There is a small curved backrest that makes it easy for anyone to grab and carry the chair. The space underneath serves as storage for your bag or shoes.

The Tippi Chair reminds me of some cool and quirky bookshelves. It’s stylish and something that would look great in a college dorm or a young couple’s apartment. It may also be ideal on an entryway, allowing you to sit down and wear or take off shoes with more convenience.

It really is more of a stool with its height. It’s not something you can use as a dining chair or as an office chair. It’s the kind you will place in corners or use to hold small objects for easy reach. We’re assuming this can hold most weight so it can also work as a step-stool for when you want to reach the top of a shelf or cabinet.

A number of interesting chair designs are being introduced left and right. The Please Hold Up Chair showed us what you can do with polyurethane foam. The Meditation Chair is made of  100% recycled plastic waste. There’s also the Flip Flap Children’s Chair. Looking very similar to the Tippi Chair is the Rool or Rocking Stool. It’s more of a rocking chair that can rock from side to side. Every chair we’ve featured here is decorative so we can say they all offer beautiful form and function.
