Quote of Note | Elsa Peretti

Posted in: Uncategorized

“When I started with Halston, it was go-go-go fantastic. He loved my pieces, and they loved his clothes. It was great when he used my big belts in his fashion shows. I worked my ass off with him. He was working day or night, coke or no coke. We were going to Studio 54, but he was impeccable in everything. Halston gave me the discipline. He also gave me advice: when I started doing jewels that I thought were great but too expensive, he said, ‘Make small, medium, and large.’ It may sound simple, but it was very useful, and I have never forgotten it.”

Basic Time

Posted in: TIME-LINE, You Haeyon

The purpose of a clock is to tell the time, and if we have one that portrays that in a very simplistic way, then it’s like Dieter’s good design. The TIME-LINE is a clock that reduces its expression to a single clock hand and a small LED light. Ironically the design process for this clock began with the idea that we need to make time simple.

The TIME-LINE only has an hour hand and its shape is linear and simple, and there is no surrounding frame. An LED light point set within the central circle rotates to indicate the minute. A GPS timer in the body constantly rotates the hour hand and the minute indicator so as to show the present time. Fixed and detachable magnets on the base allow the clock to be attached to any object.

Very Non-Kinky Plug!

Posted in: Park So-hee, Spring Charger

The Spring Charger adds a spring to the plugging wire so that you get extendable cords in a jiffy. Most charging wires are straight and long and have no sense of flexibility. The Spring Charger has a line much longer than any and yet is portable and handy.

Paired with the user’s smartphone, the device transmits data to a central network with other devices also giving real-time air quality updates. More than just a sensor, it also brings awareness to the user’s own individual carbon footprint in hopes of encouraging eco-conscious behavior throughout the day.

The Less is More Phone

Posted in: cell phone, Cellphones, smartphone

While the majority of modern smartphones focus on more, more, more to increase productivity, the CELs phone was developed from the belief that less distraction and “uni-tasking” rather than multitasking is the key to being productive. It focuses on just 4 basic functionalities: music, photography, fitness, and communication. What it lacks in apps (even internet!), it makes up for in a cool, quirky aesthetic and a straightforward, user-friendly interface!

Designed to be rotated at the middle, it has two sides, one with the Cell phone interface and other with the music player. By rotating the either side of the device the user can turn on the camera or the fitness device. While using any of the four (i.e. cell phone, music player, camera or the fitness device) the other functions of the device are put on standby mode. It encourages uni-tasking to build a more focus and productivity.

iFace Sensationalizes Samsung Galaxy S4

Posted in: ACE Display, iFace, protective, Samsung Galaxy S4, sensation

There are covers that promise to protect your Smartphones from scratches and the elements and then there is the iFace Sensation. This specialized cover for the Samsung Galaxy S4 not only protects from the phone from everyday bustle but also keeps it secure during accidental falls. If Murphy’s Law kicks in, then the chances of your phone surviving the fall are slim. However due to the anti shock function of the iFace Sensation, your phone has the best chance of survival.

iFace Sensation is designed for the Samsung Galaxy S4 and has an anti shock function and a new design, however it retains the basic DNA of the iFace’s original design. Although similar to the iFace First Class and Revolution, the new cover was developed after extensive researches revealed how phones had a tendency of falling and shattering.

How It Works

When the handset slips and falls to the ground, the thick cushioning of the urethane layer of the cover protects the phone from shattering. Due to the thicker urethane on the top and bottom, the phone inevitably lands on the bottom or the top, thanks to the shift in the gravity.

In short, when encased in the iFace Sensation, your Samsung Galaxy S4 will always stay protected without compromising on the looks. The cover provides outstanding grip with its slimmer and lighter design. Pick from one of the 11 sensational colors.
