Is it possible for artificial intelligence to truly “think” better than before? With the release of Qwen 3 Max Thinking, Quinn has made a bold claim: this model represents a leap forward in reasoning, blending logic, ethics, and transparency in decision-making. Imagine an AI that can navigate moral dilemmas like the trolley problem with precision […]

Water bottles rarely carry meaning beyond their function. Most exist purely to hold liquid, stay cold, and survive daily wear without much thought given to what they represent or how they make you feel. They’re tools that disappear into routines, useful but forgettable, designed for efficiency rather than connection. Few products in this category attempt to add narrative or emotional weight to something as ordinary as staying hydrated throughout the day.
The Takeya Kintsugi Collection draws from the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with gold, a practice that treats fractures as features worth highlighting rather than flaws to hide. Instead of concealing damage, Kintsugi transforms cracks into golden seams that tell stories of resilience and renewal. The collection applies this philosophy to water bottles through gold-accented crackle patterns that wrap around the surface, turning each one into a small meditation on strength found through imperfection.
Designer: Takeya
Gold lines branch across the matte finish in patterns that catch light differently depending on angle and movement. The effect feels deliberate rather than decorative, like each bottle carries its own history of breaks and repairs even though they arrive new. The visual reference works because it doesn’t just borrow aesthetics but commits to the underlying philosophy.
Four colorways offer different personalities while maintaining the same gold crackle treatment. Blanc presents soft and minimal. Rose adds warmth through its blush tones. Bleu Marine brings depth and boldness. Noire creates dramatic contrast where gold lines feel most pronounced against the matte black surface. Each color changes how the Kintsugi pattern reads visually, giving the same design language multiple emotional registers depending on what resonates personally.
The bottles hold meaning beyond their appearance through how they’re built to withstand actual use. Triple-wall insulation keeps water cold for thirty-six hours, which matters during long days when refilling isn’t convenient. The silicone bumper protects against drops and impacts that inevitably happen when objects get carried everywhere. These protective features align with the Kintsugi metaphor perfectly, the bottle is designed to endure damage gracefully rather than pretend damage won’t occur.
Using the bottle becomes a small daily ritual that carries more weight than typical hydration. The gold lines serve as visual reminders that imperfection doesn’t diminish value but can enhance it when embraced intentionally. Every scratch or ding the bottle accumulates over time adds to its story rather than detracting from its appearance, which inverts how we typically think about wear and aging in consumer products.
The Kintsugi Collection makes hydration feel less mechanical and more mindful by connecting a simple daily act to a philosophy that’s survived centuries. The bottles function as practical tools while serving as small, portable reminders that strength often comes from what we repair and carry forward rather than what remains pristine and untouched.

Apple has announced a new accessory that feels a bit out of left field, to say the least. Say hello to the limited edition iPhone Pocket, a 3D-knitted "ribbed open structure" designed in collaboration with Issey Miyake. Available with a short or long strap design, it can be worn on your arm, attached to a bag or across your body.
"The design of iPhone Pocket speaks to the bond between iPhone and its user, while keeping in mind that an Apple product is designed to be universal in aesthetic and versatile in use," Miyake Design Studio design director, Yoshiyuki Miyamae, said in a statement. "iPhone Pocket explores the concept of ‘the joy of wearing iPhone in your own way.'"
Yes, this "additional pocket" is a real item that you can purchase and decide for yourself if it's bizarre or — dare we say — kind of chic? The iPhone Pocket's short strap model is available in lemon, mandarin, purple, pink, peacock, sapphire, cinnamon and black. The long strap design comes in sapphire, cinnamon and black. Apple’s vice president of industrial design, Molly Anderson, added that the different options were "intentionally designed to mix and match with all our iPhone models and colors."
The iPhone Pocket is available this Friday, November 14, on Apple's website. However, the release is not only limited in quantity, but in location. You can pick one up online from the US, France, Greater China, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Korea or the UK. With phone theft so high in the latter, it isn't the worst option we've seen to keep your phone secure while out and about.
If you live in very specific cities then you might also be able to see one in person. In the US, it will only be available at New York City's SoHo Apple Store. Whether you buy it in person or online, the iPhone Pocket will put you back a pretty penny. The short strap is going for $150, while the long strap retails for $230.
