The Traditional Outdoor Armchair Gets A Makeover With The Net Lounge Chair

Posted on by

We often underestimate the importance of a great chair. When in reality, we really shouldn’t. We spend the majority of our day sitting on chairs, whether we’re working in our home office, enjoying a meal, or simply sitting and reading a book for leisure! Hence, this piece of furniture needs to be not only comfortable but ergonomic and aesthetic as well. An excellent chair design is not only a boon to your back and helps you maintain a healthy posture, but is also super comfy to sink into and will perfectly match the interiors of your modern home or backyard. And, a great chair to consider for your home is the Net Lounge Chair.

Designer: Raffaello Galiotto for Nardi

Designed by Raffaello Galiotto for Nardi, the Net Lounge Chair is designed to be a modern alternative to the traditional outdoor armchair. The chair is made using monochrome recyclable fiberglass polypropylene resins with UV additives. The Net Lounge features a deep round seat, with an interesting wave-like form that encloses your body and forms a comfortable envelope while you read, nap, or watch a pretty sunset.

The Net Lounge chair is a part of the Net Collection, and it is equipped with a low seat position and an ergonomically designed backrest that supports good posture. The chair has a stackable structure that is light and breathable. It features a radial pattern of square perforations that have been placed over the armchair. It also holds towel clips that allow you to keep your towel in place, and safe from windy days, while non-slip feet ensure the chair is grounded in position.

The simple yet thoughtfully-designed Net Lounge is an excellent seating option for poolside, terraces, and other outdoor spaces, making for a comfy seat where you can sit back peacefully. The chair is available in an option of six matte colors, and you could also opt for a cushion for more relaxation. The entire Net collection also includes more chairs, armchairs, tables, stools, and loveseats. The Net Loung Chair would make for a stylish and functional addition to your backyard. It would look perfect placed poolside!

J.Laverack’s Limited-Edition Aston Martin .1R Bicycle Uses the Same Process as an Actual Aston Martin

Posted on by

What happens when one of the most luxurious automotive brands in the world teams up with one of the most luxurious bicycle brands in the world? That would be the J.Laverick Aston Martin .1R — the direct offspring of a fruitful partnership between the two high-flying British luxury brands, who are jointly calling it the “world’s most bespoke, advanced and meticulously engineered road bicycle”. This design is definitely bespoke, considering that no two Aston Martin .1R bikes will be created the same —and it isn’t exactly clear how many will be constructed in total — seeing as how every purchaser who orders from Aston Martin’s “multi-award-winning” online configurator will receive a personal invitation to get their own unique Aston Martin .1R fitted at Aston Martin’s HQ in Gaydon, UK.

Designer: J.Laverack x Aston Martin

Evidently, Aston Martin’s Gaydon HQ is where a new owner can individually select and install their bells and whistles (literally) after mixing and matching Aston Martin’s signature color schemes — which mirror those of the prestige British auto designer’s most popular luxury vehicles — on the tubes, lugs, forks, stem, seat post, and handlebar drops via the aforementioned configurator. For what it’s worth, yes, you can also choose between saddle and handlebar type. Right now, it’s not clear how much this will all cost, but it makes sense to expect a higher price than most other J.Laverack bicycles, which start at around $5,000.

This advanced titanium road bike design uses a mixture of 3D-printed titanium lugs and sculpted carbon fiber tubes for a lightweight yet sturdy build without any exposed bolts on the outer body. Aston Martin’s designers call this a world first, and I can’t deny it looks like a cross between a bike and a sports car. Though, calling it a “sports bike” would be redundant. That said, Aston Martin’s Executive VP and Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman, dug into this idea even further in an official press release, calling the Aston Martin .1R a “titanium hypercar on two wheels.”

Its max speed probably doesn’t equal that of a shiny new Aston Martin supercar, but it’s likely the speediest (and sturdiest) bicycle we’ve ever seen. Several elements of the ($3 million) Aston Martin Valkyrie’s engineering and design process made their way over to the .1R, including the bicycle’s 40-micron badges. The wheels themselves, plus the stem, also use similar processes. According to Aston Martin, “The hypercar’s wheel design can be glimpsed in miniature in the titanium piston caps of the brakes on the bike, while if you inspect the beautifully machined cups on the threaded bottom bracket of the .1R and you will notice parallels with the central wheel nuts on an Aston Martin Valkyrie.”

This ultralight camping tent creates a comfortable fortress for your outdoor adventures

Posted on by

What’s old is new, and camping activities have started to pick up again after everyone has been cooped up indoors for almost a year or longer. Even if you disregard the “glamping” trend, more people are rediscovering the joys and thrills of being outdoors, even for just a few days and nights. Today’s camping experience, however, doesn’t need to be the same as in the past, especially when it comes to the gear that brings comfort, convenience, and enjoyment when staying away from hustling and bustling cities. Thanks to creative designs and innovative materials, it’s now possible to have camping equipment that offers the same or more features but with less weight and more style. That’s the proposition that this revolutionary tent is making, offering a feather-lite yet weather-ready haven for lovers of backcountry adventures.

Shelter is one of the most basic human necessities, and nowhere is this more evident than when under the mercy of the elements in the great outdoors. It would be grand if could simply teleport a tiny home anywhere we want for the ultimate camping convenience, but not only is that possible but it also loses the charm of only living with the basics. Wouldn’t it be grand if we could have all the protection that we need without carrying a literally heavy burden everywhere we go? Thankfully, that’s exactly what the ROMR Elite2 Pro Camping Tent brings to the field, an ultra-lightweight shelter that provides not only durable and reliable protection, regardless of the season, but also ease of use and convenience from every angle.

4 Season Hybrid – The shelter seamlessly fuses the best of single-wall and double-wall designs, giving you the ultimate balance between weight and performance.

Crafted with Cutting-edge Dyneema – Dyneema composite ensures superior tear resistance and all-weather reliability, providing you with a reliable shelter in the most demanding conditions.

DAC Poles – These aerospace-grade poles guarantee steadfast support, keeping your tent stable even in fierce winds and snowstorms.

YKK- Reliable Water-Repellent Zippers

The ROMR Elite2 Pro uses the cutting-edge Dyneema composite material famed for its tear resistance, all-weather reliability, and lightweight fabric. Paired with water-repellent YKK zippers, the tent can protect you and your camping partner from all kinds of environments in any season. Providing the structure and stability of the tent are high-performance DAC aluminum alloy poles known for strength and reliability without added weight. All in all, the tent weighs less than a kilogram, making it incredibly easy to pack and carry without sacrificing your protection. Even the base model that doesn’t use Dyneema material is only a little over 1.2kg, which is still far lighter than most tents that offer the same level of durability.

Set-up – The tent’s ingenious design ensures easy setup and disassembly, making it a breeze to pitch even in adverse weather conditions.

Tent can fit two full width sleeping pads.

Dual Venting can be opened from the inside, or the outside.

Well-organized storage pockets on the sides, and top stashes for your headlight.

The ROMR2 Elite2 tent might be light on the scale, but it is definitely heavy on the features. With a unique dual-pole system, numbered components, and a freestanding feature, setting up the tent can take no more than 2 minutes, freeing up more time for relaxing or exploration. The tent has a simple yet distinctive aesthetic where every part and side has a function, like the 30-inch vestibules at the sides that can protect your gear against rain and snow. There are storage pockets inside, as well as a top stash for headlights and other items you might to put above your head. With plenty of headroom and space for two full-width sleeping pads, the tent is the perfect outdoor haven for a friend or partner.

Lightweight products don’t have to be fragile or low-quality, as the ROMR Elite2 Camping Tent so clearly demonstrates. Combining the qualities of durable and high-quality materials, this simple yet feature-rich camping gear provides not only sufficient protection but also ease of use and plenty of space. Whether you’re going on an adventure on alpine peaks or braving days and nights at a backcountry site, the ROMR Elite2 tent is sure to redefine the standards of outdoor safety and comfort.
