A Desert-inspired Dehumidifier

Posted on by

The latest in a trend of sculptural dehumidifiers, this one, called “De;Hum”, is an exercise of aesthetics. With a nod to its drying purpose, its form and textured patterns are similar to things you might find in a desert. The shape, for instance, is reminiscent of pyramids. Its signature pattern printed on the base reminds one of the unique, flowing waves found in wind-swept sand dunes. Its combination of modern interface/tech with a nod to history and nature make it a welcome addition to any place needing a little less humidity.

One Stellar Speaker

The Saturn hybrid speaker-light begs the question: why shouldn’t our devices also be works of art?! The obvious answer is that everyone has largely different aesthetic taste, but there’s no denying that Saturn’s sculptural form is better looking than plenty of other standalone Bluetooth speaker designs. Aside from providing high-quality audio streaming and stylish accent lighting on its rings, it also features a spinning feature that captivates with motion. Depending on the music tempo, its centered orb will turn to the timing of your favorite tunes!

A Prettier Projector, Period

Posted on by

Before I decided to ditch having a TV altogether, I started exploring projector options thinking I could at least avoid having a giant screen in my living room. On my search, I inquired as to why each unit was surprisingly bulky and the salesman explained that the inner workings and largely unchanged projection tech simply didn’t allow for a slim, unobtrusive form. I sighed and left empty handed. If I had seen the Rollin projector, however, I might be telling a different story.

It’s thoughtfully designed around the existing tech and doesn’t try to unrealistically squeeze all the necessary components into a slimmer body. Instead, it takes on a modern, almost robotic appearance that looks more sculptural than electronic. Even though it’s not any smaller than a standard projector (in fact, it’s probably larger), it’s certainly more welcome in my home than many of the current clunky designs!
