Your Apple watch gets a nostalgic vibe with this iPod-inspired watch case!

Posted on by

Is that a new iPod?! Nope! It’s the new Apple Watch in its coolest, old-schoolest external case yet! Joyce Kang and C.O Design Lab’s Pod Case gives the Apple Watch a much-needed history lesson, introducing it to the ancestor that started the Apple craze. The watch’s screen roughly matches the screen size found in classic iPod Nanos, while its body is only a slight bit thicker. The Pod Case, made in silicone, slides right over the Apple Watch body, giving it a funky throwback, while also letting you use the watch as-is.

With Apple’s WWDC only a day away, we are expecting to be shocked and awed in equal measures. On the other hand, it’s a very comfortable feeling to use the latest tech with a product we have loved for a while. Obviously, the jog-wheel on the front is a dummy one (although it could work if it connected via Bluetooth), but the watch can easily be navigated using the touch-screen. Besides, this one comes with heavy-duty speakers of its own too!

A Lamp with a Post Box Motif

Posted on by

Simplicity doesn’t have to mean boring, and the Post Lamp is an excellent example of this. Its simplistic aesthetic references the iconic form of a traditional mailbox, where instead of holding a letter, it holds a light. A thin metal pole leads the viewer’s attention on a journey up towards the focal point at the top, the lampshade. It’s this that carries the distinctive form of the post box, as the shape is replicated by a thin sheet of curved metal.

Subtle, muted colors separate it from the product that it is inspired by, making it suited for the welcoming environment of the modern home, and completing a beautiful design.

Fever Wireless Charger Has Smooth Lines

No Idea why the designer calls it the Fever wireless charger, however I understand that the bare-bones design has a purpose of minimalism backing it. The focus of this charger is to charge your phone as efficiently as possible, and keep the frills of ‘added functionality’ out of the frame. The distinct silhouette of lines is to help better ventilation and prevent from over-heating. The fact that it enhances the looks of the charger, is simply incidental.
