As industries evolve at breakneck speed, so too must the tools that power them. With increasing pressure to innovate quickly, deliver immersive experiences, and streamline processes, companies need solutions that can keep pace. Long known for its powerful 3D rendering capabilities, KeyShot is stepping into an expanded role with a vision that goes beyond just visuals. The brand is now introducing a comprehensive solution for the entire product design journey, or what they call their new ‘Product Design-to-Market’ framework. This shift promises to change how companies of all sizes design, collaborate, and deliver products to market, going well beyond simple 3D visualization (which KeyShot’s already proven to be a market leader in).
KeyShot’s 3D rendering software has been a staple for designers worldwide, offering photorealistic renderings and an intuitive workflow. But as industries change, so too must the tools that power them. Today, the product development process is a complex web of teams, assets, and software—often siloed and inefficient. Design, engineering, and marketing teams are tasked with bringing ideas to life while navigating scattered workflows and disconnected feedback loops.
Recognizing these challenges, KeyShot has expanded its scope to introduce a Product Design-to-Market Suite. This new approach aligns all stages of a product’s journey—from the first sketch to the moment it hits the market. The goal? A more unified, streamlined, and collaborative process that minimizes waste and maximizes creativity.
The concept of Product Design-to-Market is simple but transformative. It’s a holistic strategy that bridges the gaps between the many departments involved in product creation. Instead of working in isolated silos, KeyShot’s vision encourages a fluid exchange of information and assets across design, development, and marketing teams. The result is faster iteration, better alignment, and a smoother transition from concept to market delivery.
For many companies, the current state of product design is far from optimal. Data is often scattered across platforms, teams work with outdated versions of assets, and crucial feedback gets lost in the shuffle. These inefficiencies cost time, money, and—perhaps most importantly—creativity. KeyShot’s Product Design-to-Market Suite seeks to eliminate these pain points by centralizing the entire process within one ecosystem.
With this new vision, KeyShot has unveiled three key tools designed to revolutionize product design and delivery:
Together, these tools form a complete Product Design-to-Market Suite, designed to break down the barriers that have traditionally slowed product development.
In a landscape where time to market is critical and customer experience reigns supreme, KeyShot’s new direction offers a much-needed solution. For design teams, it means less time lost in tedious back-and-forths, fewer revisions, and more focus on creativity. For businesses, it translates to faster product launches, reduced costs, and a better alignment between design and marketing teams.
Whether you’re part of a small design studio or a large corporation, the ability to quickly adapt and deliver products to market can be a game-changer. KeyShot’s Product Design-to-Market Suite approach ensures that teams can iterate faster, collaborate more efficiently, and ultimately bring better products to life.
By expanding its role from rendering software to an all-encompassing design-to-market platform, KeyShot is positioning itself at the forefront of modern product development. This isn’t just a rebrand—it’s a reimagining of what’s possible when design, engineering, and marketing work in harmony. And as industries increasingly shift towards immersive experiences and rapid innovation, KeyShot’s vision offers a clear path forward.
For designers, it’s a chance to focus less on the logistics of development and more on pushing creative boundaries. For businesses, it’s an opportunity to streamline processes and deliver products that truly resonate with their audience.

Increasing traffic in cities has led to a market for personal commuters that are becoming more interesting with every new development. On the same lines, industrial design house OfMyImagination (OMI) has reimagined what a city commuter of the future will be like.
Meet Hop, a multi-person scooter platform designed to offer an alternative to urban transportation. A two-person scooter is the norm but a scooter that can haul four people at a time is rare. It’s unique since this autonomous concept vehicle proposes to transport up to four people easily in a footprint similar to a two-wheeler.
Designer: OfMyImagination
The idea is to use the space efficiently as commuters stand inside the open design of the scooter. This is similar to standing in buses and metro that are overcrowded. Given the small footprint of the OMI’s vehicle, it can easily navigate tight spaces, just like a normal scooter. The last-mile travel solution wants to take center stage connecting train stations and transport hubs for a smoother travel experience. This makes complete sense during peak hour traffic, where getting to the destinations in time is of utmost importance.
To make transportation within the city as streamlined as possible, OMI imagines the Hop scooter to be level 5 autonomy enabled. It will travel along pre-determined routes, just like bicycle lanes in a city for minimum congestion. As the namesake makes it clear, the compact vehicle will allow people to hop on and off easily. The ultimate target of this network would be to reduce the number of vehicles on the road, especially four-wheelers. Using the accompanying app users can book the ride and also check the routes their Hop will cover. There will be an option to book the ride in private or for a group.
To keep things cost-effective without compromising user safety, the tubular frame creates a robust structure for the vehicle. These tubular bars will double as a holding option for the users. The interiors are kept minimal featuring two baskets for keeping bags and a perch bench just in case someone needs to relax for a few minutes. Given the Hop will be completely driverless, there will be space for luggage as well. According to the budding design studio, Hop will be a complete user-focused vehicle tailored for intercity travel.

Tired of choosing between your home’s decor and a comfortable space for your pet? The Luxe Cabin from Rawry is here to change that, offering a perfect blend of style and coziness that satisfies both your aesthetic and your pet’s need for comfort. It’s more than just a pet bed—it’s a beautifully designed, handcrafted piece of furniture that enhances any room while providing a serene retreat for your pet.
Designer: Rawry
Designed with small dogs and cats in mind, the Luxe Cabin addresses one of the most common challenges pet owners face: anxiety in animals. For pets who are shy, anxious, or particularly picky about their lounging spots, this cabin offers the perfect solution. Its enclosed design provides a secure, calming environment that makes pets feel safe and protected. Whether your furry friend loves hiding away or simply needs a quiet space to unwind, the Luxe Cabin is their new go-to spot.
What sets the Luxe Cabin apart from other pet beds is the quality of its craftsmanship. Each piece is handmade in small batches, ensuring attention to detail and durability. Unlike cheap, flimsy cardboard or scatter-board alternatives that wear out quickly, the Luxe Cabin is made from high-quality, AA furniture-grade plywood. The use of natural, water-based stains and a woolen felt roof not only gives it an elegant finish but also makes it a sustainable, environmentally friendly choice. This pet house is built to last a lifetime, offering long-term comfort for your pet while enhancing your home’s interior.
Assembly is a breeze with the Luxe Cabin. Thanks to its interlocking design, no tools or adhesives are needed to set it up. It takes just a few minutes to assemble, and the sturdy construction ensures it stays secure. Maintenance is equally simple: wipe down the plywood with a damp cloth when needed, spot-clean the woolen felt roof, and toss the cotton slip-cover cushion in the washing machine for an easy refresh.
The Luxe Cabin comes in two sizes (medium, and XL), designed to accommodate most cats and small dogs under 20 pounds. With five chic color options (cream, light grey, maroon, delicate blue, and tickled pink) it seamlessly blends into any room, serving as both a functional pet house and a stylish decor accent.
The Luxe Cabin isn’t just another pet bed; it’s a lifestyle choice for pet lovers who value both aesthetics and quality. It’s more than a cozy corner for your pet, it’s an accent piece that elevates the style of any room. So why settle for less? Give your pet the luxurious retreat they deserve with the Luxe Cabin by Rawry.

Just when you think LEGO Group has created its best set, another one comes along to take its place. While the ranking for best LEGO sets is subjective, anything related to pop culture does trigger instinctive liking. The latest from the LEGO universe is a set dedicated to honing the unique skills of our favorite Marvel heroes.
Yes, we are talking of the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning (a.k.a. Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters) from where all our present Marvel superheroes have graduated. The immersive 3,093-piece set for adult LEGO fans brings the X-Men universe to your living room shelf, giving company to the Avengers Tower. You won’t need mutant powers to assemble this one, rather you’ll need a lot of focus!
Designer: LEGO Group
The Marvel X-Men: The X-Mansion set features the iconic characters from the X-Men 97 animated series including wheelchair-ridden Professor X, Jean Grey’s new avatar, Gambit, Iceman, Bishop, Magneto, Storm, Wolverine, Cyclops, and Rogue. The modular two-floor building has six individual sections that can be removed. Unlike some other LEGO building sets that are open from the back, this one is closed from all sides. That said the interiors are wholly furnished including the Cerebro, Lean Grey’s lab and Danger Room. Guarding the building is a huge Sentinel robot in case other superheroes on your shelf decide to stage an attack.
This is by far the biggest LEGO set dedicated to X-Men with intricate details like the Wolverine’s motorcycle or the exploding cupola. Just so that you don’t know, four of these minifigures are making their LEGO debut. The newbies are Professor X, Gambit, Iceman and Bishop. The LEGO Marvel X-Men: The X-Mansion set is set for a wider release on November 4 for $330. If you are a LEGO Insider, you can your hands on one a little earlier on November 1 from the official website. Insiders picking it up from November 1 to 7 will get a complementary LEGO Marvel Cerebro.

I remember seeing a video where a toaster could be laid on its side and used as a pizza oven instead. Rather than simply toasting bread slices, you could apply a small amount of sauce, pop a pepperoni slice or two, and some cheese and slide it into the horizontally kept toaster. Working essentially as an oven now, this toaster could be used to dish out quick pizza slices, or even toast up garlic bread, bagels, etc. While that sideways toaster use is more of a lifehack, it’s the Dwo Oven and Multicooker’s very USP. Designed to be used vertically as a regular oven, or sideways as a wider pizza oven, the Dwo goes to show that even something as basic as your average kitchen appliance has the potential to be reinvented.
Designer: Dogma Design
Designed for compact kitchens that can’t accommodate too many appliances, the Dwo lends itself to multiple use cases thanks to an adaptable design that works standing up as well as lying on its belly. The oven comes with a slim profile, sporting clear windows on the front and back, along with a control panel on top that lets you set the temperature and timer. The clear windows also function as doors, with both of them opening depending on how your oven is oriented. When standing up, the front-facing door opens to give you a narrow yet vertically spacious oven, while when sleeping down, the rear door (which is now positioned on top) opens to let you lower wide items into the oven. The concept is sort of like a wood-fired oven versus a tandoor – one has a frontal opening while the other is accessible from the top.
A roller on the bottom of the Dwo helps it easily transition between its two orientations, allowing you to easily and swiftly change between vertical and horizontal use. Vertically, the Dwo is perfect for multi-level cooking, like baking loaves, tea cakes, or a row of cookies. Lay it flat, however, and you can now lower a wider pan into it, making it ideal for pizzas, wider cakes, focaccias, pies, etc. Of course, orienting your oven vertically or horizontally means the heat coils face in different directions based on the orientation. While horizontal, your pizzas don’t necessarily cook fast from the top or the bottom, given that the heat coils are located on the sides. However, with some clever thermodynamic engineering, the Dwo could be turned into a heat-guiding furnace, so your pizza cooks evenly with browning on the bottom and a melted layer of cheese on the top!
Designed by Colombia-based Dogma Design, the Dwo is a Best of the Best winner of the Red Dot Award: Design Concept for the year 2024. It gives you an adaptable oven that doesn’t occupy much space, and can be used for something as basic as reheating an entire pizza to something more complex like making biscuits or cupcakes. The oven’s unique flat-ish internal space might be limiting had it not been for its ability to literally lean over and shift between standing and sleeping formats. No more trying to tilt the toaster on its side to lifehack your way through college!
