Godox Cube-S: A Tiny Wireless Dual Microphone that Packs a Punch

The name Godox is probably most synonymous with innovative lighting solutions, but the company’s new Cube-S wireless microphone marks a sharp pivot into audio that’s as much about practicality as it is about portability. Debuting today, on August 19, 2024, the Cube-S aims to be the go-to option for creators on the move who need high-quality audio in a tiny, discreet package.

The standout feature? Its size. The Cube-S is genuinely pocketable, measuring just under 9 cm in length, and is roughly the size of a lipstick tube. This level of miniaturization is particularly impressive given that the microphone still manages to pack features like noise reduction, a 300-meter range, and even Apple Find My. With a sleek capsule design, The Cube-S includes everything a content creator or mobile journalist might need: two wireless mics and one plug-in receiver that attaches to a host of supported devices like your smartphone, tablet, action camera, DSLR, etc.

Godox has nailed the design ethos of “less is more” with the Cube-S. The microphone has an understated matte finish, with clean lines and subtle branding. It’s designed to be both portable and inconspicuous, making it ideal for vloggers or interviewers who need to blend in while recording. The form factor is clever, too. Despite its tiny size, it offers secure magnetized attachment options for clothing or surfaces, ensuring it stays put during use. If you want to get creative, there’s even a lanyard attachment that lets you wear the mic around your neck like modern-day jewelry, and stickers in case you want to jazz your tech up. The device is built with a lightweight aluminum body, adding durability without making it heavier.

The Cube-S comes with two thumbnail-sized microphones, along with a receiver that plugs right into the base of your phone (with both USB-C and Lightning variants available). Clip the mics on using their powerful magnetic snaps, fire the Godox MIC app, and you’re ready to start recording. The microphones support 48kHz high-resolution audio capture, delivering crisp, clear sound that stands up to professional standards. The omnidirectional mic capsule does a commendable job of capturing detailed sound while minimizing ambient noise. For those who regularly produce content on the go—whether it’s interviews, vlogs, or field recordings—this level of audio fidelity is a significant advantage.

Even for its tiny size, the mics have built-in noise reduction, activated simply by tapping the button on the mics. Similarly, the receiver module on your phone has a button too, for remotely triggering recording by double-clicking the button. The Cube-S also offers a substantial transmission range of up to 300 meters. This makes it ideal for scenarios where the subject needs to move freely, whether in a wide-angle video shoot or across a large indoor space. Battery life is another highlight, with the mics themselves lasting for 10 hours on a full charge, extendable to 30 hours in conjunction with the capsule-shaped charging case.

One of the strengths of the Cube-S lies in its versatility. The microphone comes with a variety of accessories, including additional magnetic clips and noise shields, making it adaptable to different recording environments. Furthermore, the Godox MIC app offers remote control over key settings such as gain and monitoring, allowing users to fine-tune their audio without constantly interacting with the mic itself.

For those embedded in the Apple ecosystem, Godox has integrated several features that make the Cube-S a seamless fit. It’s fully MFi certified, ensuring reliable performance with iPhones and iPads. Even more intriguing is the inclusion of Apple Find My support—a particularly thoughtful touch given the mic’s small size. Misplacing something this compact is easy, but thanks to this integration, locating the Cube-S is as simple as tracking down your lost AirPods. This feature, however, is limited to the Cube-S Kit 2, which includes 2 mics and 1 receiver along with the charging case.

So who stands to benefit the most from the Cube-S? Essentially, anyone who values a portable, high-quality audio solution without the usual technical overhead. Whether you’re a content creator recording on the fly, a mobile journalist capturing interviews in dynamic environments, or a professional needing a discreet and effective microphone for presentations or streaming, the Cube-S checks all the right boxes. With its official release date set for August 19, 2024, this could quickly become a go-to device for those who need reliability and performance in a compact form factor.

This hand-forged Damascus Stainless Steel Knife boasts a spectacular mirror-finish marbled blade

With each knife having a pattern that is unique to it, almost like its own fingerprint, the Greno puts the beauty of hand-forged VG-10 Stainless Damascus steel in your grip, giving you a knife that’s equal parts magnificent and masterful.

They say that the true process of making Damascus steel was lost to history, although the art has certainly flourished again, with a lot of forgers building their own techniques of making the gorgeously marbled metal. One such creator is Shaggs LLC, the designer and builder behind the Greno – a hand-forged fixed-blade knife with perhaps one of the most unique-looking marbled steel blades we’ve seen. While most Damascus steel blades rely on a dual-color design that highlights the marbling, the Greno is different. It employs VG-10 steel – a premium cutlery-grade stainless steel produced in Japan, which results in a marbling quite like no other. Add that to a 4.5-inch blade with a 4.3-inch handle and you’re left with a knife that doesn’t disappoint. When not in use, the Greno is an art piece, a visual representation of a one-dead handicraft… and when in motion, it’s a knife designed to dominate and get the job done every single time.

Designer: Shaggs LLC

Click Here to Buy Now: $55. Hurry, only a few left!

Measuring a staggering 9 inches from tip to end, the Greno is fairly larger than any of the flippers or folders we feature here. It comes with a fixed blade design too, and ships with a Top Grain Italian cow leather sheath to help you carry it around wherever you go. The knife’s handle comes crafted from green Micarta, used extensively in the knifemaking industry for its durability, balanced weight, and the unique texture it provides to the handle, giving it a superior grip. To supplement this, the Greno’s handle boasts an ergonomic grippy design that’s innately ambidextrous, allowing you to grab it confidently as you maneuver its crown jewel – that spectacular blade.

A self-taught knifemaker, Shaggs managed to master the art of forging Damascus steel, although their experiments with the Greno are different from any other Damascus steel you’d find on the market. To state things plainly, a lot of the Damascus steel you see today is simply a laser-etched marbling pattern on regular steel. True Damascus steel is created by folding and forging two different kinds of steel together, before acid-etching the blade to reveal a zebra-like pattern. Greno’s take on Damascus steel is similar, but the results are stunningly different. The blade shimmers with a chrome-like finish, but instead of being dual-colored, comes with contour lines, almost like the knife has its own fingerprint.

The blade itself has a drop-point design, a very popular template in the knife world. With a long 4.5-inch edge that culminates in a sharp tip, the Greno is perfect for pretty much any indoor or outdoor tasks. Whittling wood, slicing paracord, cutting meat or veggies, and self-defence, the Greno’s blade holds up remarkably well to any form of abuse. The VG-10 steel is inherently corrosion-resistant and has remarkable edge retention, which means spending more time using the knife and less time sharpening it. The rest of the blade travels through the handle, or what the industry calls a ‘full tang’ format. This effectively boosts the knife’s overall durability and allows you to lean into the Greno while using it. The full tang design means being able to apply forward and downward pressure with ease, along with also being able to twist your knife while using it to do things like open metal cans or gut your hunt.

When all’s said and done, the knife slides right into its cowhide sheath, which encases the blade so it doesn’t accidentally hurt anyone. Owing to its large size, the Greno definitely doesn’t come with a pocket clip, but it does boast a lanyard hole at the end of the handle, allowing you to loop a paracord or lanyard through the knife to make it easy to carry around with you on outdoor trips, whether it’s camping, hunting, or even showing off to your EDC-enthusiast friends!

Piruify’s Transparent Water Carafe can filter your drinking water to 99.9999% purity

It pains me to say but our quality of modern living may have improved visually over the past few years, but it’s come at a cost. The air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink have all degraded in quality over the last decade… and while improving your food intake is a conscious decision most people can make, you can’t really change the air you breathe or the water that flows from your tap. You can, however, install air purifiers to cleanse your air… and there are loads of water purifiers on the market that filter your water of toxins, but none of them do it with the grace and modernity of the Piurify Alchemy Automatic Water Filter Pitcher. Crafted from BPA-free acrylonitrile styrene, this transparent pitcher doesn’t just look good—it actively cleanses your tap water using UF or ultrafiltration tech. Fill your pitcher up and place it on its purifier base and it gets to work. The base does the water purification, pulling water from the pitcher’s inner container and adding back purified water to the outer container, while the clear pitcher itself serves a practical purpose by allowing you to easily monitor the water level. This design choice is particularly beneficial for those who need to keep track of water consumption throughout a busy day, ensuring that clean, filtered water is always within reach.

Designer: Piurify

The Piurify Alchemy employs a robust multi-stage filtration system that goes beyond basic purification. Using Ultrafiltration (UF) combined with Carbon technology, this system is engineered to remove up to 99.9999% of harmful bacteria like E. coli, along with 99.9% of chlorine and other contaminants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and lead. This thorough filtration process ensures that the water you drink is not only visibly clear but also free from a wide range of potential health hazards. Such a high level of filtration is rarely found in similar products, making it a strong contender in the market for those who value both safety and taste.

How to use the pitcher.

Replacing the filter is refreshingly simple, a notable improvement over more cumbersome models. The filter is conveniently located at the base of the pitcher, eliminating the need to insert your hand into the water reservoir—a feature that not only simplifies maintenance but also enhances hygiene. Additionally, the filter has an extended lifespan, capable of purifying up to 130 gallons of water over six months. This long-lasting performance reduces the need for frequent replacements, making the Piurify Alchemy both cost-effective and low-maintenance, ideal for those who prefer a set-it-and-forget-it approach to home water filtration.

Easy to use.

While most water filters can take tens of minutes to purify your water (often prompting impatient people to just go ahead and drink tap water instead), the Piurify Alchemy speeds things up for the sake of your health. It can filter a full pitcher—about 50 ounces or 1.5 liters—in just two minutes. This rapid filtration is particularly useful for families or individuals who need clean water on demand, whether for quick meal preparation or staying hydrated throughout the day. Despite the speed, there’s no compromise on the quality of filtration, ensuring that you can enjoy the convenience of fast, fresh water without sacrificing safety or taste.

In addition to its performance, the Piurify Alchemy is a strong advocate for environmental sustainability. By reducing the need for single-use plastic bottles, it significantly lowers your household’s plastic waste, making it a more eco-friendly choice. The long-lasting filter also contributes to this sustainability by minimizing waste associated with frequent replacements. This focus on reducing environmental impact aligns with a growing consumer trend toward more sustainable living, making the PIURIFY ALCHEMY not just a smart choice for your health but also for the planet.

Every aspect of the Piurify Alchemy’s design has been carefully considered to enhance the user experience. The ergonomic handle, for instance, is designed for comfort, allowing you to pour water easily even when the pitcher is full. Its compact size is another thoughtful feature, enabling it to fit neatly into most refrigerator doors without taking up unnecessary space. Moreover, the smart filter change alert eliminates the guesswork from maintenance, letting you know exactly when it’s time to replace the filter to ensure continued optimal performance. The pitcher also boasts a durable battery that lasts up to 30 days on a single charge, providing uninterrupted filtration and adding to the overall convenience of the product.

World’s First ‘Backpack Fridge’ lets you carry your cool beverages to your camping site with ease

We’ve heard of wearable ACs, but a wearable fridge is definitely uncharted territory.

Say hello to the Litheli FrozenPack, a backpack that ISN’T made for carrying clothes or tech. Instead, it’s designed to carry food and beverages… specifically the chilled kind. Modeled on the shape and size of a wearable backpack, this refrigerator has a 16-liter capacity for carrying drinks or food, a battery pack that chills your food down to -20°C (-4°F) for up to 6 hours, and an insulated design that keeps food chilled for another 4 hours with the power unplugged. The FrozenPack is compact enough to travel in cars with you while tailgating, or even on your back if you’re hiking to a campsite or to a place where cars can’t reach. You can either power it directly for hours via a power cable, or opt for the On-The-Go kit which equips you with two swappable battery packs… and no, it isn’t like those insulated beer coolers – it’s quite literally a wireless, wearable refrigerator capable of chilling drinks and preserving frozen food.

I’m not a person built for the outdoors. I do love the outdoors, but mankind developed indoors for a reason. Life indoors is comfortable. You’ve got a roof over your head, you’ve got WiFi, television for watching movies and shows, and a fridge full of snacks to eat. You don’t get all those comforts outdoors… or rather, you didn’t until now. The Litheli FrozenPack brings the final frontier of indoor comfort to the outdoors. With an incredibly high capacity-to-volume ratio (which means more storage in a smaller form factor), the FrozenPack is compact and lightweight enough that you can strap it on your shoulders like a regular backpack. In fact, it looks like a backpack in every regard, with adjustable straps, pockets, pouches, and mesh holders for extra supplies… but its pièce de résistance is revealed when you open the backpack’s lid to find yourself with what’s essentially 16 liters of fridge-space.

The storage space is perfectly optimized for carrying your drinks or food efficiently. The FrozenPack can snugly fit 10 large beverage cans along with 9 bottles in its cooler compartment, or even store multiple packs of canned food. If you’re looking to stash ice cream, the fridge’s adjustable temperature setting lets you crank the cooling down enough to store ice cream or frozen food. The FrozenPack’s temperature can be configured using a control panel on the front that also houses a display that tells you the fridge’s inner temperature as well as its battery level. The fridge’s temperature can be micro-adjusted between a range of -4°F to 68°F, allowing you to change settings based on the kind of stuff you’re storing within the FrozenPack. This eventually also affects the fridge’s run time, with the highest running time being an impressive 8 hours on Eco Mode. The small size means cooling happens much faster too, allowing the Litheli FrozenPack to go from regular to chilled in just 15 minutes, and with an operating noise level of below 35dB, the FrozenPack is even quieter than your conventional kitchen fridge.

Powering your adventures is the U20 IPS SUPER BATTERY, a one-stop solution for the Litheli ecosystem. With a revolutionary design that allows it to exist outside the fridge instead of built into it, the 74Wh battery pack can be removed on demand or swapped out for a fresh one, allowing you to keep your fridge running for longer. This powerful battery unit delivers north of 6 hours of chilling and even doubles as a power bank for your other electronic devices, keeping you connected on and off the grid. If and when the battery runs out, the fridge still holds its temperature for a solid 4 hours, thanks to a thin yet incredibly efficient TPU840 fabric exterior, along with a PU and EPE inner lining that perfectly insulates your food without adding bulk to the design.

But the true test for any outdoor fridge lies in its ability to withstand the elements. The Litheli FrozenPack tackles bumpy roads with ease. Advanced sensor technology ensures tilt protection, allowing it to operate normally even at inclines of up to 40°. Plus, anti-shock functionality minimizes spills and keeps your food secure – even on the roughest terrains. While carrying the fridge on your back, padded shoulder straps and a sternum strap ensure the FrozenPack stays on comfortably, and add-on brackets let you easily attach the fridge to your car or motorbike/scooter while on the go too.

The Litheli FrozenPack’s design is perfectly suited for travel, with straps, flaps, and pouches galore that make it ruthlessly functional while still being fairly weatherproof. Each FrozenPack Standard Kit comes with a power cable for wired use, although if you want to experience the power of the battery-powered FrozenPack, upgrading to the On-The-Go kit gives you two swappable battery modules (along with that power cable), effectively allowing you to double your fridge’s run-time while outdoors!

Experience Golf Course Perfection at Home with the Oasa R1 Robotic Reel Mower

Maintaining a perfectly manicured lawn shouldn’t be a relentless chore. Traditional push mowers demand endless physical effort, and robotic rotary mowers often fall short, leaving lawns looking uneven and patchy. The Oasa R1, the world’s first consumer-grade robotic reel mower, is poised to redefine lawn maintenance with professional precision and ease.

Designer: Oasa Team

Click Here to Buy Now: $1,199 $1,599 ($400 off). Hurry, 30/580 left! Raised over $1.7 million.

This mower handles everything from start to finish without compromising your lawn’s quality, beauty, and health. Featuring a patented reel blade, it sets a new standard. Unlike dull rotary blades that tear grass, the R1’s 335mm-wide reel delivers a clean, scissor-like low cut. This blade action reduces stress on grass plants, prevents fraying, and encourages lush growth. An adjustable cutting height from 0.8 to 4 inches is perfect for achieving that golf course-style finish with grass height between 0.75 inches and 3.3 inches.

One of its unique features is its best-in-class blade-to-body ratio. This innovative design minimizes the gap between the 13-inch blade and the mower body, allowing for superior edge trimming and significantly reducing the need for manual touch-ups. With a margin of 1.2 inches between the blade’s edge and the chassis, the machine covers more ground with each pass, ensuring efficient and thorough mowing.

The Oasa R1 introduces the world’s first self-sharpening system for robotic mowers, featuring a groundbreaking patented Voiceprint Detection Algorithm. This technology ensures perfect blade alignment with precision up to 70 microns and automatically backlaps through motor-reversed rotation, eliminating the need for manual blade sharpening. This system extends the blade’s lifespan to three to four years, saving time, energy, and money while maintaining a flawless cut. This innovative feature sets the Oasa R1 apart, making lawn maintenance easier and more efficient.

An automatic blade resharpening system reduces the need for manual replacement or realignment, distinguishing it from other robotic and traditional reel mowers.

The advanced design incorporates a multi-layered workflow, utilizing cutting-edge semantic segmentation technology. This allows the R1 to distinguish between grass, obstacles, and edges, creating detailed maps of multiple zones, including passing channels for seamless navigation. Users can choose between Hover Mode and Off-road Mode to match lawn edges perfectly, ensuring the most comprehensive mapping with ease. Equipped with advanced LiDAR sensors and multiple cameras, the R1 performs a precise 3D scan of your lawn, including boundaries and obstacles. This technology ensures fully automated and hassle-free lawn care. Its robust design allows it to handle challenging separated zones and inclines up to 45%, maintaining perfect coverage across your entire lawn.

Using the Oasa R1 is incredibly simple. After the initial 3D scan, you can set up different zones, pathways, and no-go areas. Once configured, all it takes is a press of a button to start the mowing process. The R1 navigates precisely, maintaining a close trim near fences and edges while avoiding obstacles like pets and humans. Its reliance on LiDAR technology ensures accurate navigation even without GPS signals.

One of the most convenient features of the Oasa R1 is its ability to operate autonomously. The dedicated smartphone app enhances its capabilities, providing real-time updates on mowing progress, allowing you to schedule mowing sessions, adjust cutting heights, and activate the blade-sharpening cycle, ensuring the blades remain razor-sharp for optimal performance. The R1 returns to its charging station when the battery is low, when it senses rain, or when it completes its task. An integrated geofence triggers an anti-theft alert if the mower leaves the designated area, providing added security.

In addition to its core functionalities, the Oasa R1 offers several advanced features that further enhance its performance and user experience. For instance, the R1 automatically returns to its charging station when the battery drops to 10%, when rain sensors detect moisture, or when all tasks are complete. This feature ensures that the mower is always ready for the next job and protected from adverse weather conditions.

The Oasa R1 also boasts wireless charging, eliminating concerns about dirty or rusty charging ports. Thanks to an IPX6 waterproof rating, the mower stays safe from moisture and unexpected showers, ensuring longevity and reliability. Another key benefit is the mower’s ability to handle various types of terrain with ease. Whether you have a flat lawn, a hilly landscape, or a yard with multiple obstacles, this mower can navigate and maintain it efficiently. For example, a user with a steeply sloped backyard reported that the R1 managed to mow the entire area without any issues, something that was challenging with their previous mower.

Priced at $1,199, the Oasa R1 offers a premium lawn care solution with global availability. This package includes the mower, charging shelter, a two-year warranty, and even covers customs fees. Combining cutting-edge technology with the superior performance of reel blades, it sets a new standard in autonomous lawn maintenance, delivering the perfect lawn with unmatched ease.

Stop Counting Sheep: Let the Brain Sleep Pillow Give You the Best Night’s Rest Ever

Sleep is essential for a healthy, productive life, and the Brain Sleep Pillow is designed to give you the best sleep possible. This innovative pillow uses advanced technologies and high-quality materials to ensure comfort, support, and hygiene. Let’s dive into what makes it the last pillow you’ll buy for your nightly rest.

Designer: Brain Sleep Co., Ltd.

Click Here to Buy Now: $144 $240 (40% off). Hurry, only 5 left! Raised over $114,000.

Focusing on the first 90 minutes of sleep, known as the “Golden 90 Minutes,” this pillow optimizes sleep quality. This period is crucial because it includes the deepest phase of sleep, significantly influencing the overall quality of your rest. Your sleep consists of REM (rapid eye movement) and non-REM (NREM) sleep cycles. Each cycle lasts about 90 minutes; the first cycle typically contains the deepest sleep. The more deep sleep you get during this period, the better the overall quality of your sleep. Body temperature is one of the key factors for achieving quality sleep during the Golden 90 Minutes. Higher body temperatures during sleep are associated with reduced deep sleep. This pillow addresses this by having over 90% of its structure made up of air space. This design prevents heat and moisture from getting trapped in the pillow, helping to keep your brain cool and promoting high-quality sleep. Data confirms that the Brain Sleep Pillow, compared to typical polyurethane pillows, leads to a higher percentage of deep sleep in the first cycle. This is backed by sleep surveys showing that users of this pillow experience more deep sleep during the Golden 90 Minutes, which is crucial for overall sleep quality.

One key aspect is its ability to keep you cool throughout the night. Traditional pillows, like those made from feathers or urethane, often trap heat, making your head feel warm and uncomfortable. However, the Brain Sleep Pillow stays much cooler, promoting better sleep. This pillow is made of a unique material that allows heat to escape quickly, so it doesn’t get trapped inside. Scientific tests show it maintains a cooler head surface temperature than other pillows. This cooling effect helps you fall asleep faster and stay in a deeper sleep longer. Imagine resting your head on a pillow that always feels cool and refreshing, even on hot nights. Dr. Seiji Nishino, a sleep expert from Stanford University, contributed significantly to this design by emphasizing the importance of temperature regulation during sleep. His expertise in sleep physiology and understanding of how cooling impacts deep sleep have been crucial in developing this innovative feature.

Another incredible feature is its personalized fit technology. This pillow is designed with a three-layer structure that perfectly balances comfort and support. The top layer, known as the adjustment layer, is soft and fluffy. This layer molds to the shape of your head, providing immediate comfort. Beneath this is the firmer support layer, which offers solid support for your head and neck. This helps keep your spine aligned properly, reducing any strain or discomfort. The bottom layer, called the base layer, is harder and allows air to flow through the pillow, keeping it cool and increasing its durability. The pillow also features a unique nine-gradation system. This means the pillow has varying firmness levels across its width, ranging from hard to soft and back to hard. This design supports your head and neck whether you sleep on your side, back, or stomach. It also makes it easier to turn over without losing support, which helps reduce strain on your head and neck.

Keeping your pillow clean and fresh is crucial for a good night’s sleep, and this pillow makes it easy with its Super Clean technology. Humans typically sweat around 200ml while sleeping, but the pillow’s excellent breathability prevents moisture build-up, promoting a hygienic sleeping environment. Made in Japan, it undergoes meticulous quality checks. Skilled technicians and craftsmen carefully inspect each pillow to meet stringent quality standards. Once the pillow passes these rigorous inspections, it is carefully packed and delivered to customers, ensuring it arrives perfectly.

This pillow is made from 100% recyclable and sustainable polyethylene, reflecting a commitment to environmental responsibility. In addition to the high-quality pillow itself, you can choose from different covers to suit your preferences. The Active Air cover is made from breathable mesh material with water-absorbent, quick-drying, antibacterial, and anti-odor properties. It ensures a comfortable, non-sticky feel and dries quickly even after washing, making it ideal for rainy days. This cover is made of 100% polyester. The Organic Cotton cover is made from 100% organic cotton, grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers for over three years. It offers natural antibacterial, deodorizing, absorbent, and quick-drying properties, ensuring a clean and comfortable sleep environment. The use of organic cotton reflects the company’s commitment to environmentally friendly materials. The Perfect Cool EX cover combines a powerful cooling function with moisture absorption. It enhances the cooling sensation of the pillow, making it ideal for hot nights. The cover is made from a blend of composite fibers, nylon, polyurethane, and polyester, ensuring durability and comfort.

Another significant benefit of this pillow is its ease of maintenance. The water-washable pillow dries quickly, so you can keep it clean with minimal effort. This makes it ideal for those with allergies, such as house dust, and families with small children. The pillow’s design also minimizes mold growth, adding to its hygienic benefits. For maintenance, if your pillow loses its plumpness, you can restore it by fluffing it with a 45-50-degree shower. This simple care routine keeps the pillow in optimal shape, providing consistent comfort. Just be sure to avoid using water hotter than 50°C (122°F) to prevent any damage to the material.

Integrating multiple advanced technologies, this pillow provides a superior sleeping experience.

Focusing on the first 90 minutes of sleep, known as the “Golden 90 Minutes,” this pillow optimizes sleep quality. This period is crucial because it includes the deepest phase of sleep, significantly influencing the overall quality of your rest. Your sleep consists of REM (rapid eye movement) and non-REM (NREM) sleep cycles. Each cycle lasts about 90 minutes; the first cycle typically contains the deepest sleep. The more deep sleep you get during this period, the better the overall quality of your sleep. Body temperature is one of the key factors for achieving quality sleep during the Golden 90 Minutes. Higher body temperatures during sleep are associated with reduced deep sleep. This pillow addresses this by having over 90% of its structure made up of air space. This design prevents heat and moisture from getting trapped in the pillow, helping to keep your brain cool and promoting high-quality sleep. Data confirms that the Brain Sleep Pillow, compared to typical polyurethane pillows, leads to a higher percentage of deep sleep in the first cycle. This is backed by sleep surveys showing that users of this pillow experience more deep sleep during the Golden 90 Minutes, which is crucial for overall sleep quality.

One key aspect is its ability to keep you cool throughout the night. Traditional pillows, like those made from feathers or urethane, often trap heat, making your head feel warm and uncomfortable. However, the Brain Sleep Pillow stays much cooler, promoting better sleep. This pillow is made of a unique material that allows heat to escape quickly, so it doesn’t get trapped inside. Scientific tests show it maintains a cooler head surface temperature than other pillows. This cooling effect helps you fall asleep faster and stay in a deeper sleep longer. Imagine resting your head on a pillow that always feels cool and refreshing, even on hot nights. Dr. Seiji Nishino, a sleep expert from Stanford University, contributed significantly to this design by emphasizing the importance of temperature regulation during sleep. His expertise in sleep physiology and understanding of how cooling impacts deep sleep have been crucial in developing this innovative feature.

Another incredible feature is its personalized fit technology. This pillow is designed with a three-layer structure that perfectly balances comfort and support. The top layer, known as the adjustment layer, is soft and fluffy. This layer molds to the shape of your head, providing immediate comfort. Beneath this is the firmer support layer, which offers solid support for your head and neck. This helps keep your spine aligned properly, reducing any strain or discomfort. The bottom layer, called the base layer, is harder and allows air to flow through the pillow, keeping it cool and increasing its durability. The pillow also features a unique nine-gradation system. This means the pillow has varying firmness levels across its width, ranging from hard to soft and back to hard. This design supports your head and neck whether you sleep on your side, back, or stomach. It also makes it easier to turn over without losing support, which helps reduce strain on your head and neck.

Keeping your pillow clean and fresh is crucial for a good night’s sleep, and this pillow makes it easy with its Super Clean technology. Humans typically sweat around 200ml while sleeping, but the pillow’s excellent breathability prevents moisture build-up, promoting a hygienic sleeping environment. Made in Japan, it undergoes meticulous quality checks. Skilled technicians and craftsmen carefully inspect each pillow to meet stringent quality standards. Once the pillow passes these rigorous inspections, it is carefully packed and delivered to customers, ensuring it arrives perfectly.

This pillow is made from 100% recyclable and sustainable polyethylene, reflecting a commitment to environmental responsibility. In addition to the high-quality pillow itself, you can choose from different covers to suit your preferences. The Active Air cover is made from breathable mesh material with water-absorbent, quick-drying, antibacterial, and anti-odor properties. It ensures a comfortable, non-sticky feel and dries quickly even after washing, making it ideal for rainy days. This cover is made of 100% polyester. The Organic Cotton cover is made from 100% organic cotton, grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers for over three years. It offers natural antibacterial, deodorizing, absorbent, and quick-drying properties, ensuring a clean and comfortable sleep environment. The use of organic cotton reflects the company’s commitment to environmentally friendly materials. The Perfect Cool EX cover combines a powerful cooling function with moisture absorption. It enhances the cooling sensation of the pillow, making it ideal for hot nights. The cover is made from a blend of composite fibers, nylon, polyurethane, and polyester, ensuring durability and comfort.

Another significant benefit of this pillow is its ease of maintenance. The water-washable pillow dries quickly, so you can keep it clean with minimal effort. This makes it ideal for those with allergies, such as house dust, and families with small children. The pillow’s design also minimizes mold growth, adding to its hygienic benefits. For maintenance, if your pillow loses its plumpness, you can restore it by fluffing it with a 45-50-degree shower. This simple care routine keeps the pillow in optimal shape, providing consistent comfort. Just be sure to avoid using water hotter than 50°C (122°F) to prevent any damage to the material.

Integrating multiple advanced technologies, this pillow provides a superior sleeping experience. From cooling and personalized fit to hygiene and sustainability, the pillow addresses various aspects of sleep quality. Its innovative design, combined with high-quality materials and thoughtful features, ensures that users can enjoy a comfortable, restful, and clean sleep environment every night. Whether you’re looking for a cooler pillow that fits perfectly to your head and neck or stays clean and fresh with ease, the Brain Sleep Pillow has it all.

CNC-Machined Curved Design allows these Wood Boxes to stack perfectly without Joinery or Magnets

Think of a box and every single one your mind imagines will probably be made of 6 flat surfaces, forming either a cube or cuboid. Studio Entrandan wanted to reimagine this box, this pixel of our everyday life, as something with a little more dynamism and visual vitality… not just for the sake of making a curved box, but for the sake of making a box that’s MORE useful.

To do so, the London-based product design studio looked to the golden rectangle, expanding the box, creating a proportionate ellipse, and carrying the curve to the top and the bottom of the box. The result is a box that still has flat walls, but boasts a curved base and top. Why, you ask? So that the boxes can naturally stack one on another without requiring lips and grooves or any extra details. Boxes dominate our lives because of their natural ability to stack without any dead space – with this set, Studio Entrandan celebrates that stackable property through a clean design, with a gorgeous visual twist. These boxes are a gorgeous combination of minimal design with clever detailing. Perfect for people who just want to have a wooden set of containers on their work desk or their dining table (or anywhere, really), the Box Set comes with 3 boxes of varying heights, and a lid that also serves as a nifty tray to store items like rings, other jewelry, or even stationery.

The idea of redesigning something as fundamental as your everyday box came from playing around with ellipses and having them overlap one another. As soon as the idea began taking shape, the folks at Studio Entrandan immediately mocked up a 3D model and printed it out to test its feasibility. However, their intention was never to make the final product out of plastic. Choosing wood instead, the boxes were given a distinct EDC appeal. Borrowing from Scandinavian design influences (and even from their timber), the boxes look gorgeous when kept on any tabletop surface. Their curved base is cleverly designed to still sit flat on flat surfaces… but the minute you stack them one above the other, they tuck into each other (think of how dinner plates stack on top of another).

The boxes measure 200mm x 80mm (7.8in x 3.1in) and have varying heights for storing different items. They’re perfect for stationery, cutlery, EDC, your bedside belongings, or even tech like cables, AirPods, etc. The set includes 3 boxes and a lid, all of which can either orient one on top of another, or be used independently. Their shape makes them uniquely eye-catching to anyone who has an appreciation of craftsmanship and good design… but ultimately, they’re minimalist pieces that blend into your decor.

Each of the boxes are CNC machined out of a single block of wood, giving them the accuracy you’d probably expect from metal or plastic containers. Curves on the bottom and the top of the boxes are precision-machined to match into each other, allowing the boxes to stack naturally one on another the way plates do. The curves nest into each other in a way that’s appealing to the eye, allowing you to organize your boxes without joineries, magnets, or anything else. “Before production, we usually let our timber rest and acclimate for two weeks,” Huang mentions. “However, because timber is an organic material, it is constantly changing. Factors such as humidity, temperature, and sunlight can alter its shape.” This adds a unique natural touch to your boxes (think of it as a patina), although the makers recommend that if your boxes wobble a little too much because their tolerances no longer match, a little sandpaper does the trick. Followed by a coating of wood oil to restore their waterproofing.

The set of 3 boxes and a lid start at $151 and ship globally. Each box is CNC-machined out of a single block of wood, and Studio Entrandan offers a choice between Black Walnut, Cherry, and White Oak. You can buy multiple sets, or even individual containers to add to your collection.
