Bug zappers haven’t had a design moment yet. They’ve existed in more or less the same form for decades, somewhere between forgettable and mildly unpleasant to look at. Most of them get tucked into corners or mounted out of sight, which is exactly where most people prefer them. They do the job, roughly speaking, but nobody’s ever been genuinely excited to reach for one.
Brightbeam Solutions seems to have taken that as a challenge. Bug Saber is the brand’s attempt at rethinking what a bug zapper can feel like, not just what it can do. The concept is simple enough: take pest control, which has always been a thankless task, and design it to be something you’d actually want to pick up. Nobody in the category had really tried.

The design makes that clear immediately. Bug Saber is built around a high-voltage zapping grid framed by a glowing LED ring, mounted on a lightsaber-style hilt with a distinctly mechanical character. It doesn’t look like anything from a hardware store, and that’s entirely the point. The aesthetic borrows from sci-fi gadget culture rather than home appliance conventions, and it’s surprisingly hard to ignore when it’s nearby.
Switch it on, and everything shifts. The LED ring glows, saber-style sound effects kick in, and insects are naturally drawn toward the light. When one gets close enough, the 4,000V high-voltage grid takes care of it instantly, with no waiting and no cleanup. The entire sequence takes only seconds, and the combination of light, sound, and immediate result makes each instance feel surprisingly satisfying.
That satisfaction makes sense in practice. Picture a summer evening on the back porch, a fly that’s made itself at home, and the usual frustration of swatting blindly at the air. With Bug Saber in hand, you’re in control rather than reacting. The act feels deliberate in a way that pest control rarely does, which is a strange thing to say and yet completely accurate.
Not every situation calls for hands-on use, though. Bug Saber can sit on its vertical stand with the illuminated ring running on its own, drawing in insects without you having to do anything. This works especially well at night, when flying pests are most active, and you’d rather not be involved. It handles things quietly in the background, whether you’re inside or out on the patio.
Bug Saber is built around three core components: the Bug Saber Head, which houses the ring and zapping grid; an entry-level hilt for those starting fresh; and the vertical stand. People who already own a compatible saber-style hilt, the kind used in cosplay or collecting communities, can swap in the head directly, converting their existing setup into a functional bug-control device without needing anything else.
What makes Bug Saber work so well is how the experience reinforces itself over time. The glow, the sound, and the instant result work together to create something that feels rewarding rather than routine. You pick it up the first time because there’s a fly in the room. The second time, you reach for it a little more quickly than strictly necessary.
There’s a broader shift in product design, one where objects that used to be purely functional are being reconsidered as things worth looking at. Routers, speakers, and kitchen appliances have all gone through some version of this. Bug Saber brings that same sensibility to a category that’s rarely had it, which on paper sounds like a stretch and in practice feels entirely overdue.
The strangest thing about Bug Saber might also be the most telling. A bug zapper with a sci-fi hilt, a glowing LED ring, and sound effects that respond to movement really shouldn’t feel like a natural addition to a patio or living room shelf, and yet here we are, genuinely glad that someone decided this particular category was finally worth a proper redesign.

If you’re a serious overlander, there’s no chance you don’t know about Alaskan Campers. Since 1957, the hard-sided Alaskan truck campers have been a dream for every adventurer. Sidestepping its image of creating heavy-duty rigs for the first time, the company has engineered a hard-sided pop-up camper with reduced weight. Called the HS 640, the rig is designed from the ground up with smarter construction materials, while maintaining the durability and performance assured by an Alaskan model.
The Alaskan Campers HS 640 is a new-generation camper designed with the idea of reducing weight and creating a fit compatible with a wider range of trucks. Since it’s built from the ground up, the HS 640 does share a similar Alaskan design language, but it isn’t based on any existing model from the company. It is an entirely new platform made to be “lighter, more efficient. It’s the “most accessible Alaskan ever built, designed to fit more trucks and reach more people,” the company notes.
Designer: Alaskan Campers
For its lightweight form factor, Alaskan Campers has constructed the HS 640 using non-organic materials. The shell comprises 1.5-inch structural insulated panels paired with high-density PIR foam sandwiched between fiberglass skin, creating a robust yet lightweight body that is, of course, rot-proof and certified R-11 thermal insulation. With the integration of this new construction format, the company has managed to curtail excess mass across the entire camper structure, reducing the weight without compromising strength.
Designed for broader compatibility with a larger range of trucks, the HS 640 has a dry weight of 1,500 lbs. and measures about 6.3 feet (1.9 m) in length. The lightweight camper’s size allows the tailgate to close on most standard 6.5-foot truck beds from Ram, Ford, Toyota and more. The reduced weight of the pickup camper puts less strain on your truck, improving its drivability, while providing a comfortable living space inside.
The yacht-like interior fashioned by Alaskan for the HS 640 includes aluminum cabinetry, which can be customized to the buyer’s choice of color. The interior otherwise features bamboo trim throughout. The kitchen alongside the entry is provided with an induction cooktop, a sink, and a 90L fridge. Adjacent is the living space equipped with an L-shaped sofa paired with a detachable Lagun table in the center, transforming the space from entertainment to dining in a jiffy. The sleeping section, located behind and above the dinette, features a RoamRest 6-inch queen mattress and is finished with overhead storage and a wardrobe. HS 640, the company notes, offers campers an indoor and outdoor shower and a Trelino Evo S portable composting toilet.
On the outside, the interestingly designed camper provides for an optional 180-degree awning and a solar panel. The buyer can opt for 400 watts of rooftop solar panels and an electrical system with 324-Ah Expion 360 battery. The backup can be managed off the grid by 3,000-W inverter on board, while a 57-liter fresh water tank suffices for the water needs. Alaskan Campers is selling the HS 640 starting at $47,495.

Two bedrooms in a tiny home that fits on a double-axle trailer sounds like a promise that usually ends in compromise. Craft House’s latest model, the Alan, makes a compelling case that it doesn’t have to. Measuring 8.4 meters long, the Polish builder has packed a full master suite, a mezzanine loft, a proper kitchen, and a bathroom into a towable frame with enough practicality to work as a full-time residence.
The exterior sets the tone without making a fuss. Engineered wood cladding meets metal paneling beneath a metal roof, giving the Alan a quiet, modern character that sits closer to a Scandinavian cabin than a trailer. Two separate glass-door entrances open along either side, flooding the interior with natural light and softening the line between indoors and out. Pair each entrance with a deck, and the sense of space expands considerably.
Designer: The Craft House
Inside, Scandinavian spruce lines every surface, warm and tactile against the structure’s harder geometry. The center of the home is a combined dining and living area, anchored by a wall-mounted TV and a table that seats four. A mirrored wall and a high ceiling work together convincingly to make the space feel larger than it is, while underfloor heating and a mini-split keep it comfortable year-round.
The kitchen is compact but genuinely functional, with an induction cooktop, oven, fridge/freezer, and sink, plus upper and lower cabinetry that provides ample storage for daily living. The bathroom, meanwhile, is clean and well-considered, with a glass-enclosed shower, vanity sink, and a flushing toilet. Craft House has kept both spaces tight without letting them feel like afterthoughts.
The standout detail is the folding staircase. It leads to the mezzanine loft bedroom, and when not in use, it folds away entirely, reclaiming the downstairs floor space it would otherwise occupy. The master bedroom sits below with full standing headroom, a double bed, a large window, and a second mini-split for independent climate control. It’s a small mechanical solution with a disproportionately large effect on how the home actually lives.
Craft House offers the Alan with a range of optional upgrades: full off-grid capability, deck areas, and flexibility on both materials and layout configuration. For those who want to live untethered, the off-grid option in particular makes the package worth considering seriously. The base price starts at roughly $57,500 USD, with delivery details available directly from the builder.
For a two-bedroom towable home that doesn’t demand too many trade-offs, the Alan earns its attention. The folding stair, dual entrances, and spruce-wrapped interior give it a livability that most homes this size struggle to reach. It’s the kind of build that makes downsizing feel like a choice, not a concession.

Lighting often sits at the meeting point of function and feeling. A lamp is expected to brighten a room, but the best ones do more than that: they shift the mood, add character, and sometimes become the object people remember most when they leave. With the Woaw collection, Dubai-based lighting designer Nader Gammas takes this idea in a playful and unexpected direction. Instead of treating the candelabra as a formal, traditional object, he reimagines it through bold color, simplified geometry, and the joyful memory of childhood toys.
Introduced through his brand Mr. John’s Goods, the Woaw collection feels like a deliberate break from the seriousness often associated with designer lighting. These table and floor lamps are not quiet background pieces. They are bright, sculptural, and full of personality. Inspired by toy-like forms and vivid color combinations, each lamp brings a sense of fun into the home while still remaining refined enough to sit comfortably in a modern interior. The result is a lighting collection that feels both nostalgic and contemporary.
Designer: Nader Gammas
What makes Woaw especially interesting is the way it transforms a familiar object. The candelabra has long been associated with elegance, tradition, and ornamentation. Gammas keeps the idea of multiple light sources, but strips away the heaviness and formality. In its place, he introduces clear shapes, clean lines, and unexpected color blocking. The lamps almost feel like they have been built from oversized toy blocks, yet their proportions and material choices keep them from feeling childish. They are playful, but not silly; expressive, but not chaotic.
There is also a subtle connection to the spirit of the Memphis Group, especially in the use of bold colors and geometric expression. However, Woaw feels more restrained. Rather than relying on busy patterns or visual excess, the collection uses color as its main tool of reinvention. The forms are simple and direct, allowing the palette to carry much of the emotion. This balance gives the lamps their charm: they are instantly eye-catching, but still easy to imagine in a real living space.
That sense of visual surprise also makes Woaw a natural conversation starter. In a room filled with familiar furniture and expected design choices, these lamps interrupt the ordinary in the best way. Their toy-like silhouettes, cheerful colors, and reworked candelabra structure invite people to pause, look closer, and ask about them. They carry just enough nostalgia to feel familiar, and just enough strangeness to feel fresh. A guest might see one and think of building blocks, candy colors, retro design, or childhood objects, which is exactly where the charm lies. Woaw does not simply sit in a space; it gives people something to respond to.
The collection is also flexible in scale and arrangement. The table lamps come in single, single single, single double, double, and double tilt versions, making them suitable for desks, shelves, side tables, or smaller corners. The floor lamps are designed for larger spaces and come in single, single single, single double, triple, and double tilt versions. This variety allows the collection to move between being a small accent piece and a major focal point in a room. Whether placed beside a sofa or on a work desk, the lamps bring an immediate sense of energy.
Beyond their visual appeal, the Woaw lamps are designed with durability and usability in mind. Both the table and floor versions combine sturdy steel bodies with ceramic shades, which help soften the light and give the object a crafted quality. The use of 6W LEDs adds an energy-conscious layer to the design, while the 3-region plug makes the lamps suitable for homes across the US, UK, and EU. This practical detailing supports the larger goal of Mr. John’s Goods: making designer lighting feel more accessible without losing its sense of imagination.
The Woaw collection succeeds because it understands that functional objects do not have to be visually ordinary. A lamp can illuminate a room, but it can also spark memory, joy, and conversation. By bringing together the language of toys, the structure of the candelabra, and the clarity of modern sculpture, Nader Gammas creates lighting that feels fresh, approachable, and full of life. Woaw is not just about seeing better; it is about making a room feel more alive.
