Autograph The Best

Steve Jobs may have intended the iPhone to be carried naked because of its Good Design, but he probably didn’t take into consideration the elements, butter fingers and our need to luxe things up. Thankfully we have a few designers who understand our needs and Truffol is one of them. Sexing up the iPhone5 / 5S and the Samsung GalaxyS4 is a much easier thing thanks to their latest Personalized Leather Skin Series called the Autograph.

For those who are picky about details (call it the Jobs Hangover), then you’ll love to know that the Autograph sources exclusively imported cowhide, from Santa Crocesull’Arno in Italy, trimmed to an incredible thickness of 0.6mm. The leather retains its pebble-grained texture, which apparently a big element in its design.

Autograph’s stainless steel inlay logo is electroplated with 18-karat Rose Gold on select leather colors. You can pick from the Standard and Card variants; the Standard variant affords a slim profile where as the Card variant accommodates up to one credit card or driver’s license.

As a special gesture, Truffol customizes the Autograph range by providing the embossing of (up to) three letters on the cover. Needless to say, the bundle comes with a complimentary screen protector. I know I want mine embossed as RS, what about you?

For The Sake Of Painters

I don’t paint and have never used a paint can in my life. But that doesn’t mean innovation for paint cans should stop. In fact this Easy Ring design can be used for any standard can. Physics, pressure techniques and a lot of clever thinking makes this a very intriguing design. What do you think?

Fliders Can Save Our Office Mouse!

YD has recently moved from a virtual office setup to an actual office setup. As design advocates we had to reflect modern design in our office, so we got our team Apple gear. New iMac, iPad mini…the whole nine yards! We teamed our mouse with expensive aluminum mouse pads, only to realize that expensive doesn’t mean quality. Yes, our Magic Mouse is now ruined, too bad we found out about Fliders so late!

Having said that, I don’t think it’s too late for you to save your mouse feet! Get one now this festive season or gift it to your loved ones. Let me elaborate a bit more on what Fliders can do for your Apple Magic Mouse (or any other Optical Mouse).

  • You can ditch your mouse pad and use your entire desktop as a mouse pad instead!
  • They provide a smooth and quiet mousing experience.
  • Fliders are an inexpensive, replaceable solution to worn mouse feet. Out goes our expensive Aluminum Designer Mouse Pad!
  • Adding Fliders improve tracking by minimizing the collection of sticky residue that makes your mouse sticky.

Perfect Pearly Whites

How many times do you brush your teeth? Perhaps twice, however if you brush them thrice a day, your teeth can stay healthy teeth and free from bad breath. Of course lesser dentist bills are a given! To encourage this habit – brushing thrice for three minutes each time, we have here the Perfect 3 Minute Brushing system. It is a portable toothbrush that is easy to use.

How to use:

  • First, pull down the ring.
  • This activates a timer that will indicate the remaining three minutes.
  • During brushing, the string will retract and the timer will revert to its original position.
  • The ring can be used to hang the toothbrush after use.

Perfect 3 Minute is a 2013 red dot award: design concept winner.

A New Design Notion

NTN’s premier product launch, called Collection 01, focuses on material likeness and a similar construction process to tie these otherwise unrelated objects together as a series. A thoughtful balance of aluminum, fabric and natural wood define each as a singular product, but a shared design language makes them shine as a group.

Hammock Table
The Hammock Table is a low coffee table defined by a suspended fabric shelf. The shelf is kept in tension by rope connecting to aluminum leg mounts. The solid table top is of bleached Irish sycamore which is blended into the round legs.

W1 Watch
The front and back body parts of the W1 watch are CNC machined from solid aluminum. The integrated aluminum dial is created in the same process. The floating increments are etched directly onto the crystal. The watch is finished with a vegetable tanned leather strap. Available in both natural and black anodized aluminum.

Dowel Chair
The Dowel Chair is a modern take on the classic windsor chair. Constructed from solid bleached irish sycamore the seat back consists of sixteen spindles with a removable fabric cover. On the underside the legs are blended into the seat.

G1 Glasses
The character of the G1 Glasses comes as much from the materials as the shape. Formed plywood frames and temples are connected by a CNC machined aluminum armature. This armature also incorporates the custom brass hinge. Available in teak and natural aluminum with brown lens or black stained ash and black anodized aluminum with black lens.

Waterford Lamp
This pendant lamp consists of a thick, clear glass shade hand blown in Waterford, Ireland. A machined aluminum hanger suspends the shade from the grey braided cable. The lamp is finished with a hand stitched filament bulb.

Designer: NTN

Watch This Ways

My watch is mine, and if you try peeking into it, you probably won’t be able to read the time. However if I wear the Followatch, you will be able to see the time correctly, with the dial facing towards you! Followatch always stands upright because it rotates freely thanks to the center of gravity. Awesome idea for sharing time!
