Sleek + Modular Kitchen System Can Adapt To All Kinds Of Kitchens In Our Modern Homes

Designed by interior architect Ntaiana Charalampous, co-founder of Dedàleo, this customizable kitchen system is called the Ilo+milo 2.0. It is built from stainless steel modules, and is designed to be an alternative to “the rigid and static nature of traditional kitchens”. Having a flexible and functional kitchen is important in today’s homes which tend to be cramped and stuffy. Hence, a modern kitchen system needs to be adaptable and should perfectly cater to our contemporary homes. And, the Ilo+milo 2.0 makes for an excellent kitchen system for our homes.

Designer: Ntaiana Charalampous of Dedàleo

Designed for homeowners and young individuals, the Ilo+milo 2.0 is meant to be an adaptable solution to help users obtain the perfect kitchen layout “Recognising that modern lifestyles are dynamic and ever-changing, the project aims to provide a solution that allows for flexibility and versatility within the kitchen environment,” said Charalampous. “By introducing a revolutionary modular system, Ilo+milo 2.0 enables users to rearrange and reconfigure their kitchen layout effortlessly.”

Measuring 60×60 centimeters, the stainless steel system can be combined and configured in multiple ways to build a personalized design that will cater to the niche needs of users. Users can build a generous and open layout by merging the various wall units with a kitchen island, or they can create a compact and space-saving configuration that is better suited for homes with space constraints.

The various modules can be customized in different finishes and materials, and accessorized with drawers, metal doors, and pull-out tops that are available in different colors. Users can pick the color and material options that perfectly suit their taste! The vertical metal elements can be customized as well – plain, perforated, and corrugated. On the other hand, the work surfaces can be built using stainless steel or a terrazzo-like material made from recycled metal and glass waste. The recyclable stainless-steel frames and the worktops built from recycled materials ensure that the product is sustainable, and that waste is minimized during its production. The potential for reuse is also amplified, owing to the use of recycled materials.

The Ultimate Pet Protection System Is Designed To Keep Your Pets Comfy, Cozy and Secure

For most of us, our pets aren’t simply pets! They’re our children and babies we consider our own blood. We take care of them the way we would take care of our own kids, and leave no stone unturned to ensure they are happy, healthy, and safe. If you’re looking for a new and improved way to take better care of your pet then you may want to look into Tavo’s latest product – the Maeve Pet Protection System. Tavo is another creation from the makers of Nuna who build top-of-the-line baby gear. And their Maeve Pet Protection System is designed to provide your pets with the ultimate comfort and safety.

Designer: Tavo

While building the Maeve Pet Protection System, Tavo utilized the decades of research, development, testing, and engineering that have been carried out at Nuna. Tavo made use of this valuable information to create the perfect system that allows you to seamlessly take your pet from your home to the car and finally to the desired location – whether it’s a vet appointment or some fun adventure. The Maeve Pet Protection System includes a carrier and a vehicle base for the carrier which is reminiscent of a child’s car seat.

However, if you need to carry your pet beyond a car then you can opt for the Roscoe stroller frame as well. When used together Maeve and Roscoe team up to create Tavo’s 3-in-1 Protection System which provides your pets with the ultimate safety and comfort while traveling, putting you at complete ease. Tavo utilizes the latest United Nations ECE child restraint standards to provide the highest degree of safety and protection. You can travel peacefully with your pet knowing they are safe and secure.

Much like Nuna, Tavo also pays complete attention to aesthetics and comfort. The Maeve carrier is available in five color options – Onyx, Fawn, Merle, Sable, and Brindle, while the strollers are accentuated with vegan leather details in classic color options such as black, cognac, and chocolate. So, you can pick and choose the colors that perfectly complement your aesthetic as well as your pets!

Smart shelving system provides versatile storage and partitions in modern offices

One problem that never seems to leave us, especially if you live in a major city – is the lack of space! If you’re an independent millennial who recently moved out of their family home and into their own, then a significant issue you may be dealing with almost every day…is space constraints in your home. And this problem also tends to follow us to our offices – whether commercial or home. Commercial offices are teeming to the brim with hordes of employees, and the furniture they need – desks, chairs, office pods, conference tables, etc. And smart storage solutions for offices are often harder to come by, as compared to those for our homes. One such well-designed storage solution for commercial offices is the Combus Shelving System by Narbutas.

Designer: Narbutas

Designed by office furniture brand Narbutas, the Combus Shelving System is a super smart furniture design that not only provides versatile storage but also offers a way to partition spaces in the office. The Combus system is a pretty crafty one – it features a range of varied shelving types and heights, that can be customized in different finishes, and integrated with accessories such as planter boxes, metal bookends, and felt storage baskets to give each piece a unique and individual look.

The Combus system is available in the traditional “I” shape for shelving, but also in innovative configurations such as “L” and “T” shapes. This makes dividing the office space quite fun and interesting, irrespective if you’re creating private work areas, lounges, or meeting spots for collaborations. The closed shelving options which are higher can be used to provide privacy around areas where employees work and have meetings, while the shorter shelves can be used to partition spaces without completely segregating employees, and their opportunities to converse and connect.

The Combus system is also excellent for meetings since you can attach screens for presentations to its structure, using a metal duct that hides the cable away to provide a clean, decluttered, and wire-free look. Combus was created using recycled materials and can be easily and efficiently disassembled for reuse and adaptation, as and when needed.

Innovative strap-system on the back of this airline seat makes it easy to store all your belongings

You could potentially spend anywhere from 3 to 20 hours on a single flight… which is why airline seats are designed to be less like furniture and more like a microliving space where you can either sleep, read, eat, or just admire the scenery from the window. The chairs recline, they come with dedicated fans, lights, a foldout table, and even a button to summon the flight staff, but they offer little when it comes to storing your regular belongings. Sure, there’s space right beneath the seat in front of you, but that isn’t always easy to access; and sure there’s a pouch near the foldout table, but it can barely store the security pamphlet, a magazine, and an air-sickness bag.

‘Strap’ is a system that relooks the way the back of the airline seat is laid out. Designed keeping that very microliving approach in mind, the back of the seat is transformed into a micro-closet using a web of elastic straps that criss-cross from top to bottom and left to right. These straps, which remain flat when not in use, are wonderful for tucking things into and latching things onto. You could potentially stash your bottle in them, dock your iPad in them, tuck your passport, boarding pass, book in the straps, and use them in a whole variety of ways to store things but allow them to be accessed easily. The Strap’s system is incredibly freeing, and offers you with the ability to use it exactly how you see fit. From storing your spectacles or neck-pillow, to even potentially using it to hang your headphones or your kid’s toy, the Strap system is quite literally limitless… and it doesn’t obstruct how the fold-out table works either!

Designers: Ulysse Van Duinen & Donatien Lenoir
