The Iconic “Lunch Atop A Skyscraper” Photograph gets its own Fan-Made LEGO Build

Posted on by

A brick recreation (brickreation, if you will) of an iconic classic, the “Lunch Atop A Skyscraper” LEGO Ideas kit captures the essence of the American dream. The original photograph, shot in 1932, features eleven New York construction workers casually eating lunch on a steel beam, suspended 260 meters (853 feet) above the ground. Built by LEGO maker DallasBricks, this LEGO rendition pays tribute by turning the famous photo into a brick-based artpiece that can be hung on a wall or placed on a bookshelf.

Designer: DallasBricks

At its core, the set uses a flat design style, similar to LEGO’s art series, but it incorporates thoughtful 3D construction methods to create the illusion of a suspended steel beam. The minifigures are carefully posed to reflect the relaxed yet precarious nature of the workers in the photograph. Each figure contributes to the scene’s energy, making it feel dynamic and alive, as if frozen in a moment of real life.

Although DallasBricks doesn’t specifically mention how many pieces are used in this build, it’s safe to estimate there are quite a few, given the skyscraper details in the background. Look closer and you’ll notice the skyscrapers aren’t all buildings, they’re actually a mix of LEGO tech and hardware pieces like keyboards, phones, remote controls, and screens, along with a few building window pieces. This creative use of different flat bricks gives the skyline its uniqueness, allowing each building to have a different character instead of looking all the same.

The original photo wasn’t just a depiction of the American dream, it was that of celebrating all the people who got together to make this dream happen. The photo features builders of different races, enjoying a meal together while rather casually hanging off a steel girder. The LEGO MOC (My Own Creation) has 11 minifigures too, just like in the photo, all enjoying a meal together before they get back to work.

The LEGO Ideas Lunch Atop A Skyscraper kit is currently a fan-made submission on the LEGO Ideas website, an online forum where LEGO enthusiasts create their own builds and share them with the LEGO community. With 2,790 votes as of writing this article (and with 560 days of voting left), DallasBricks’ LEGO MOC is well on its way to gathering enough votes to reach the 10,000 vote mark, following with the design will get reviewed by LEGO’s internal team and hopefully turned into a retail kit!

Genesis Redefines Automotive Design with 2026 GV70, Electrified GV70, and California Design Studio

Posted on by

Genesis Motor North America has unveiled the redesigned 2026 GV70 and Electrified GV70 SUVs, accompanied by the announcement of a groundbreaking design studio in California. These twin milestones highlight the brand’s seamless integration of technology and aesthetics, pushing boundaries in product innovation and creative environments. With its sights firmly set on redefining the future of luxury vehicles, Genesis aims to transform automotive design through thoughtful craftsmanship and advanced technology.

Designer: Genesis

Exterior Enhancements: Bold Aesthetics Meet Cutting-Edge Technology

The 2026 GV70 and Electrified GV70 embody Genesis’s “Athletic Elegance” philosophy, presenting a perfect fusion of advanced technology and striking design. Their redesigned dual-weave G-Matrix Crest Grille creates a bold front fascia, while the multi-lens array (MLA) headlamps provide enhanced nighttime visibility and a modern visual signature. This technology-driven lighting system ensures functionality without compromising style.

Genesis GV70 Sport

For the Electrified GV70, the grille adapts to house a charging port equipped with a motorized door, integrated lighting, and a heating element, offering convenience and a sleek design. Redesigned skid plates and expanded air intakes contribute to a more dynamic, sporty profile, while new 19-inch and 21-inch wheel options emphasize athleticism and precision.

Genesis Electrified GV70

The attention to detail extends to the rear, where turn signals echo the two-line motif of the headlamps, maintaining aesthetic harmony. Genesis also introduces ten exterior colors for the GV70, including the astronomically inspired Ceres Blue, and six curated colors for the Electrified GV70, offering customers various sophisticated options to personalize their vehicles.

Interior Innovations: A Harmony of Function and Form

Inside, Genesis prioritizes elegance, simplicity, and advanced technology. The GV70 features a 27-inch OLED display that merges the digital cluster and infotainment system into a seamless horizontal unit. This modern layout aligns with the “Beauty of White Space” principle, inspired by Korean aesthetics, providing a clean and intuitive user interface.

Material and color options enhance the interior ambiance. Ultramarine Blue Nappa leather adds a luxurious touch, complemented by customizable ambient lighting that allows drivers to tailor the cabin’s atmosphere. A Bang & Olufsen surround sound system with Beosonic technology further enhances the in-cabin experience, delivering unmatched audio quality.

Practical updates include triple-zone automatic HVAC for optimal comfort and a relocated wireless charging pad for easier access. Genesis also integrates advanced convenience features such as voice recognition controls, which allow drivers to manage HVAC settings and windows effortlessly, and Digital Key, enabling seamless vehicle access and personalization.

Performance and Safety: Advanced Features for a Superior Drive

The GV70 offers two powerful engine options: a 2.5L inline-4 turbo with 300 horsepower and a 3.5L V6 twin-turbo producing 375 horsepower. Genesis pairs these engines with Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview, which uses forward-facing cameras to detect road imperfections and adjust the suspension for maximum comfort.

Safety features are equally comprehensive. Enhanced Lane Following Assist, Hands-On Detection steering, and upgraded Remote Smart Parking Assist—which now includes diagonal parking—are standard. The Electrified GV70 introduces an 84 kWh high-capacity battery, providing extended range and a North American Charging Standard (NACS) port with a CCS adapter, granting access to more than 36,000 DC fast chargers nationwide.

Genesis Design California: A Creative Hub for the Future

Complementing its vehicle advancements, Genesis will open a new 80,000-square-foot design studio in El Segundo, California, in early 2025. This facility will serve as a creative ecosystem, housing 45 team members in an environment designed to foster innovation and collaboration.

Genesis Design California

The studio’s design blends Korean heritage with Southern California’s vibrant culture. Outdoor spaces inspired by traditional Korean gardens provide tranquil areas for reflection, while the interiors emphasize natural light and calming materials like soft acoustic felt. The modern tea platform in the lobby sets a meditative tone, reinforcing Genesis’s commitment to creating serene, inspiring spaces.

Key facilities include a clay modeling workshop, digital design labs, and a colors and materials studio, offering team members the tools to push creative boundaries. Luc Donckerwolke, Chief Creative Officer of Genesis, highlighted the studio’s importance: “The climate, cultural arts, and automotive scene in Los Angeles offered us the possibility to create a dynamic and attractive work experience by integrating nature and light into the work and creative spaces.”

Blending Technology, Culture, and Innovation

Genesis’s design philosophy reflects a harmonious blend of form, function, and cultural authenticity. From the MLA headlamps to the expansive OLED dashboard, every detail of the 2026 GV70 lineup underscores the brand’s commitment to thoughtful, user-focused advancements. Similarly, the California Design Studio exemplifies Genesis’s dedication to fostering creativity and integrating art and technology into its vehicles.

As Genesis approaches its 10th anniversary, these initiatives signal a bold vision for the future of automotive design. By combining advanced technology with cultural heritage and a deep understanding of user experience, Genesis is redefining what luxury vehicles can achieve—inside and out.

Odd backpack is designed for carrying spare bicycle tires and large objects

Posted on by

It’s pretty amazing how much stuff we can cram into our backpacks, from laptops to 2-liter water bottles to a bundle of chargers and cables. Of course, these are objects that were designed to be small enough to fit in bags in the first place, so that’s not exactly out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, we sometimes need to carry things larger than the largest backpacks in the market.

This bag might be designed for bicycle racing, but it can definitely do more than just carry spare wheels for an emergency. Its literally open design actually offers a bit more wiggle room that will let you carry large or odd-shaped items without breaking a sweat. Unless, of course, they’re actually too heavy to carry on your back.

Designer: Fernando A. Robert

We often think of bags as enclosed containers with a single opening, but there really isn’t a formal definition of a bag’s design. This “Bike Backpack” might look like a regular backpack from the front, but its open sides definitely break the stereotype. Then again, the idea of carrying a bicycle wheel or a large box is itself already unconventional.

The Sherman Bike Backpack has a tri-fold design that opens vertically like a flap. The idea is that you stuff things that are too large or too wide for regular bags in between the flaps, letting the sides extend beyond the bag’s confines. Alternatively, you can also hang something outside and secure it with straps.

This is how you can carry one or two bicycle wheels that are thin and light enough to put on your back while cycling or racing. Of course, boxes, drawing boards, blueprint tubes, and other large objects are also fair game, as long as you secure them properly with straps. It definitely makes for an odd sight, but your comfort and convenience definitely outweigh any awkwardness.

The backpack also has compartments for carrying regular stuff, and you might be able to use it for carrying laptops, tools, or even clothes. That said, it isn’t the ideal backpack for all weather conditions, since the open sides make it very vulnerable to water, snow, and even dust.

Tricorder-like device concept envisions a futuristic portable health scanner

Posted on by

Smartphones and smartwatches today have a variety of sensors and apps that give us a glimpse of our health. We can track heart rates, blood oxygen levels, and even temperatures, and combine that data to create a more holistic picture and actionable steps. Of course, nothing beats professional medical equipment, but we can’t carry those around with us.

Phones and wearables might be convenient, but they don’t always offer the best user experience for specific needs. This concept device, for example, tries to imagine a dedicated health scanner that is able to cram more features while still retaining its portable size. And it even looks and feels quite advanced to boot!

Designer: Vadim Trofimenko

When talking about handheld scanning devices, many sci-fi and pop culture buffs will probably think of Star Trek tricorders. These fictional devices can detect and analyze almost anything, from materials to creatures to people. Of course, we haven’t yet reached that level of technology, but we’re getting pretty close thanks to computer vision and AI.

The MediScan Pro concept design tries to deliver some of that futuristic experience to the realm of personal health. It’s a pocket-sized metal box that offers more specialized functionality than generic smartphones and smartwatches, at least in theory. Based on the concept, it still scans your finger to get data, similar to how IR and laser scanners work today.

In terms of design, the MediScan Pro has a bit of a retro-futuristic aesthetic. It’s quite box and angular, not hiding the fact that it’s a technological product. There’s a sizeable fingerprint scanner near the top, a small display in the middle, and buttons and wheels at the bottom for controlling the devices. It has an aluminum body but, curiously, the textured surface on its back is supposed to be made from recycled plastic.

Much of the functionality it tries to offer is, to be honest, already available today, especially with the limited data you can glean from a fingerprint. It also uses AI to evaluate the data, give you recommendations, or contact your health provider. The difference from smartphones and smartwatches that already exist today is that MediScan Pro offers a distraction-free experience so you don’t suddenly forget what you’re doing because of the flood of notifications and alerts that greet you.

One unrealistic feature, however, is the use of holograms to display your health status. We’re not yet at that point where small devices can display detailed holograms, let alone ones that contain enough information at a glance. That’s not entirely outside the realm of possibility, but by then we might also have less bulky and more elegant designs by then.

10 Best LEGO Creations Of October 2024

Posted on by

LEGO is a beloved pastime for people of all ages. In recent times it has transcended from a basic building toy to a tool for artistic creativity and expression.

Whether you are a devoted LEGO aficionado or a newbie exploring the vibrant LEGO universe, you will discover something extraordinary and inspiring in this collection of LEGO builds.

1. LEGO Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird

This LEGO model of the SR-71 captures the original aircraft’s spirit perfectly. The model is meticulously crafted and adopts the SR-71’s sleek and elongated form. It features a sharply defined nose and sweeping wings. The model also includes functional flaps, retractable landing gear, and a fully actualized cockpit. Each piece was created to honor the original’s impressive design.

The SR-71 model was created by an aerospace engineering student by the name of ‘Buds 234’, and it showcases technical appreciation and a meticulous eye for detail. This MOC goes beyond a typical LEGO build, creating an image that is captivating and yet true to the original SR-71. The complete model is supported by a base with a plaque detailing the SR-71’s key specifications.

2. LEGO Cataclaws

Called Cataclaws, this new icon by LEGO was launched right in time for the holidays! It is designed to become a “CAT-alyst” for play. The furry creature was born from the minds of children, to remind the young and the old that there is no limit to how creatively we can use our LEGO bricks. Cataclaws is a tuxedo cat wearing a red and white beanie that will push people to play around the holidays, encouraging them to get into the holiday mood.

The LEGO feline was introduced in a short film, where he goes on an adventure around the city to turn boring situations into playful and fun ones. You’ll see 20 products and builds in the video, and there are also a few mini Cataclaws builds in the video if you’re in the mood to play Spot the Cataclaws!

3. LEGO Rolex Submariner

The world of Rolex has just met the world of LEGO in this stylish and contemporary build – the LEGO Rolex Submariner. It is a sophisticated art model created for a more refined and picky audience. The Submariner’s “super’ case was transformed into a lovely LEGO form, creating an eye-catching piece, that makes for some wonderful home decor.

It is blessed with a signed brevet crown, which perfectly represents the iconic component of the Submariner, shining a light on its luxurious heritage. A functional and fully operating rotating bezel mimics the functionality and utility of the original Submariner watch.

4. LEGO The Marvel X-Men: The X-Mansion set

The Marvel X-Men: The X-Manion set includes iconic characters from the X-Men 97 animated series including Professor X, Jean Grey’s new avatar, Iceman, Bishop, Gambit, Magneto, Storm, Wolverine, Cyclops, and Rogue. The set comprises of a modular two-floor building with six individual sections that can be removed with ease.

Many LEGO building sets are open from the back, but this one is closed from all sides. The interiors are completely furnished, and they include the Cerebro, Jean Grey’s lab, and also the Danger Room! The building is guarded by a huge Sentinel robot, offering some powerful protection, if your other LEGO action figures decide to stage an attack.

5. LEGO Coachella Pyramid

Daft Punk’s 2006 Coachella set achieved iconic status, and it is still remembered even 2 decades later. The Coachella Pyramid is an important part of music history, and Robotrock built a LEGO set to do full justice to it. They developed a 2000-brick recreation of that moment. The set includes two artists standing on a colorful pyramid-shaped stage. Lights have been integrated inside the pyramid, and they are glowing as the duo performs music.

The two artists are dressed in robot-shaped clothing, and they are perched on the platform, working on their electronic console, creating, remixing, and performing their music. “This project began in 2020 as a fun father-son collaboration, growing into something epic as we found ourselves needing a creative escape during lockdown,” says Robotrock. “Both huge Daft Punk fans, this build is a fusion of 2 passions. I spent my teenage years listening to Homework on my Walkman, while my son’s 1st favorite baby song was Get Lucky. It felt only natural to blend our love for Daft Punk’s music with our love for LEGO. My then 8-year-old son started with a prototype built from the bricks we had at home, and I expanded on it digitally.”

6. LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar

The holiday season is brewing up, and they are a magical time. But this season, LEGO is making it even more special with a Harry Potter Advent Calendar. This calendar makes it extra magical, as it counts down the days till Christmas from the 1st of December. It offers a creative and amusing twist on a classic and age-old tradition. This one has something special up its sleeve!

Advent calendars make the Christmas countdown extra special by providing a new treat each day. But instead of offering the typical chocolates or tiny trinkets, this set delivers a daily building adventure that perfectly captures the beauty and charm of the Wizarding World, gifting you a lovely surprise behind every door.

7. LEGO ‘The Eras of Taylor Swift’

We finally have a LEGO set for all the Swifties in the house! Celebrate your love for Taylor and LEGO with this 1,410-piece display model that beautifully replicates the iconic poster from the Taylor Swift Eras tour. It captures Taylor’s first ten albums – ranging from her debut album “Taylor Swift” to “Midnights”.

What makes this build even more exciting is, that if you remove each of the ten album panels, you can access a Taylor Swift minifigure, and an accessory inspired by that particular era. The various Taylor minifigures include Taylor in her iconic teal dress and guitar for her debut album, and Taylor wearing an outfit inspired by the “You Belong With Me” music video.

8. LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar

LEGO has been making Star Wars-themed sets for almost 25 years. And with the holiday season around the corner, they’ve created something that all LEGO + Star Wars lovers will definitely want to have! This Official 2024 Advent Calendar features a Star Wars theme, and it is truly selling like hotcakes, with almost 60,000 units already sold.

The set is interactive and buildable, created for both kids and adults. It is equipped with new Star Wars minifigures and vehicles that can be assembled each day, leading up to Christmas day! It is a 368-piece LEGO set and it includes miniature versions of the Holiday Princess Lia, Mandalorian Gauntlet, Jabba’s Sail Barge, Emperor’s Shuttle, Praetorian Guard, Super Battle Droid, and many more.

9. LEGO Turing Machine

The Turing Machine was technically the theoretical predecessor to the computer that helped the Allied powers win World War II. A Turing Machine is essentially any machine that is able to process algorithms, and a LEGO genius recently managed to build the first operational Turing Machine made entirely from LEGO bricks.

This LEGO build isn’t simply a decorative or sculptural model, but an actual device that can compute algorithms. And what’s even better is that it does so without electricity! The model is quite tangible, built on the idea that a machine can compute any algorithm as long as the right instructions are given. The setup includes a physical tape and a moveable “head” that reads, writes, and moves across the tape.

10. LEGO Linguini & Remi

Pixar’s Ratatouille movie featured the iconic duo Linguini and Remy. And they’ve finally been captured in the super adorable BrickHeadz style. The cute LEGO set features the two characters – Linguini is holding his chef’s hat, while Remy is standing beside him. Both of them look as if they’re about to cook up something tasty!

The LEGO set perfectly captures and reflects their heartwarming bond and rather quirky and dynamic bond. LEGO builder Altstuff created the set with the intention of building a physical representation of Linguini and Remi’s unusual and endearing bond.

Pizza Hut’s 3D printed pizza warmer uses PS5 to keep slices warm while you play

Posted on by

Pizza and gaming go together very well. But many of us often get lost in the game only to find the pizza slices hard and cold. The walk to the microwave in the kitchen can be a long one when you’re locked in the virtual tussle. This is when we want someone to go heat and give us a nice steaming pizza slice!

If you’re someone who owns a Play Station 5, your wish may just have been granted. Pizza Hut Canada has designed – at least given us the design – a PIZZAWRMR, that rests under a horizontally placed console and keeps the pizza inside of it warm by using the heat dissipated from the PS5. A nice warm pizza between games is not a dream anymore!

Designer: Pizza Hut

Gadgets – especially game consoles – can get really warm during long uninterrupted sessions. Loosely saying then, the PS5 could have enough heat emitted through its vents to keep a pizza hot. How hygienic is this option of heating the pizza, with the hot air released out of a device whose innards have not been cleaned for months, may be questionable; but between intense gaming sessions, who cares?

Pizza Hut Canada revealed the idea of the PIZZAWRMR on YouTube last month. At first sight of the promotional video, you can be led into believing that the pizza warmer can be brought off the shelf. However, that’s not how it is. The laptop-style warmer, with a flipping lid that reveals the pizza inside, has to be 3D printed. It’s not for sale, you get 3D printing files on the Hut website to download and then print the warmer yourself.

If you intend to give your 3D pizza warmer a try, Pizza Hut suggests you use food-safe PLA to print the parts. Since the pizza is going to rest inside this contraption you must avoid any plastic-related health concerns by not printing it from unsafe material. Be reminded that the PIZZAWRMR is only a promotional idea and not an officially licensed Sony product; printing it or using it close to the PS5’s exhaust should all be done with caution.

Sustainability Takes the Spotlight

Sustainability took center stage at BDNY 2024, with numerous exhibitors presenting eco-friendly materials and products. The Good Plastic Company won the sustainable product award for their Polygood material, which showcased how recycled plastic waste can be transformed into striking and functional design elements.

Designer: Havwoods

Havwoods also made a significant impact with their TreeAzzo material and Bog Oak flooring panels.

TreeAzzo: Modern Terrazzo Twist

TreeAzzo represents an innovative approach to terrazzo flooring, offering a modern twist on the classic material. This unique surfacing solution combines reclaimed wood chips with premium, eco-friendly resin to create a fresh and sustainable alternative to traditional terrazzo.

Havwoods

The use of reclaimed wood chips in TreeAzzo provides a distinctive aesthetic that aligns with sustainable building practices by repurposing materials that might otherwise go to waste. This approach results in a surface that blends the organic warmth of wood with the seamless, continuous appearance characteristic of terrazzo.

TreeAzzo is available in a range of customizable resin colorways, including options such as Raspberry, Nougat, Fig, and Oyster. These color choices allow designers to tailor the appearance of TreeAzzo to suit various interior design schemes and preferences.

Havwoods

One of TreeAzzo’s features is that each panel is handcrafted, ensuring that no two installations are exactly alike. This approach adds a unique character and depth to the spaces where it’s used, making each application truly one-of-a-kind.

This material offers versatility in its applications. It can be used for flooring, wall cladding, cabinetry, and even worktops, providing designers with flexibility in how they incorporate this material into their projects.

TreeAzzo is available with either fiber cement or ply backing to accommodate different installation requirements. This option allows for greater adaptability to various substrate conditions and installation methods.

Havwoods

While TreeAzzo represents a departure from traditional terrazzo materials, it maintains the durability and design flexibility that terrazzo is known for, while adding a unique, eco-friendly twist. This innovative product offers architects and designers a new option for creating sustainable, visually striking surfaces in commercial and residential settings.

Bog Oak: Rich History and Luxurious Aesthetic

Bog Oak, also showcased at BDNY 2024, is crafted from semi-fossilized trees aged between 100 and 1,000 years. This unique wood offers a richly saturated black tone, achieved through a custom drying process that ensures consistency and durability. Bog Oak’s luxurious aesthetic and historical significance make it perfect for high-end interiors.

Both products are strongly dedicated to eco-conscious design, blending historical significance with artistic craftsmanship.

Italian Grande and Crocodilo: Versatile Design Solutions

Havwoods also introduced two other products at BDNY 2024: Italian Grande and Crocodilo. Italian Grande, part of the Italian Collection, brings a rich, smokey tone in plank, herringbone, and chevron patterns—ideal for creating sophisticated interiors that balance beauty and cost-effectiveness. Crocodilo, an oak-veneered MDF panel, uses an embossing technique to create a crocodile texture, making it perfect for spaces like bars, restaurants, and hotel lobbies where visual depth is desired.

Textiles: Capturing Nature’s Spirit

HBF Textiles captivated BDNY 2024 attendees with their award-winning “Moments of Wander” collection, which claimed top honors in the fabric category. This collection captures the biophilic design trend, seamlessly blending artistic sensibility with functional performance.

HBF Textiles

Designer: HBF Textiles + Christiane Müller

Designed by renowned textile artist Christiane Müller of MüllerVanTol, the “Moments of Wander” collection includes three distinct patterns, each inspired by fleeting moments in nature:

  • Fields of Velvet: Soft, undulating textures evoke natural landscapes like grass or wheat fields.
  • Trails of Tweed: A rugged, textured aesthetic inspired by winding trails and natural paths.
  • Seeds of Colour: Vibrant, scattered patterns reminiscent of wildflower fields and colorful natural elements.

The unique strength of this collection lies in its versatility—it brings the softness of indoor fabrics while ensuring durability for outdoor use. This blend is especially valuable in hospitality, where the line between indoor and outdoor spaces is increasingly blurred.

Debuting in September 2024, the “Moments of Wander” collection showcases HBF Textiles’ most innovative work. By capturing both the macro- and micro-beauty of nature, these textiles provide designers with a tactile way to integrate outdoor elements into interior environments.

This aligns with hospitality’s broader push towards immersive, nature-inspired design. The “Moments of Wander” collection enables designers to evoke natural serenity, enhancing both comfort and well-being through biophilic design.

Silver Threads: Custom Window Treatments and Signature Spaces

Silver Threads, established in 1982, is recognized as one of the nation’s leading providers of custom window treatments for both the hospitality and residential sectors. At BDNY 2024, they showcased their work in the “Salone by Baskervill” space, a feature that drew considerable attention for its intricate design and execution.

The “Salone by Baskervill” space took inspiration from the 15th-century salons, which were known for encouraging in-person dialogue and creative interaction. Silver Threads played a significant role in transforming this vision into reality. Their contribution included a stunning 19.5-foot-diameter central drapery that served as the focal point of the space. Additionally, custom drapery installations framed both ends, suspended elegantly from the ceiling using airline cables. This installation not only added visual grandeur but also contributed to the intimate, engaging atmosphere that the space was designed to evoke.

Silver Threads’ extensive experience in the industry is evident through its high-profile project portfolio, which includes notable locations such as the World Equestrian Center in Ocala, FL, the Crown Plaza in Indianapolis, and the Hilton Downtown Columbus. Their ability to execute complex, large-scale installations while maintaining an intimate feel demonstrates their versatility and expertise in crafting custom window solutions that enhance the aesthetic and functional aspects of any space.

Furniture and Lighting: Redefining Boundaries

Dedon took home the “Best in Show” award for their Cirql Nu chair, designed by Werner Aisslinger. The Cirql Nu features Dedon’s invert fiber, created through a co-extrusion process that merges two types of fiber into one. This innovative technique results in a distinctive 3D effect that is both visually captivating and functionally impressive, underscoring Dedon’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of outdoor furniture design.

In lighting, Bover’s Kando collection stole the spotlight. The innovative designs illustrated how lighting transcends mere functionality—it serves as an artistic statement, transforming hospitality spaces with the perfect balance of beauty and utility.

Flooring Innovations: Adding Sensory Layers

Royal Thai’s Tactile Vernacular Collection, which won the flooring category prize, emphasized how crucial texture is in modern design. More than just an aesthetic element, the collection demonstrates how flooring can elevate the entire sensory experience of a space, affecting how guests perceive and interact with their surroundings.

Royal Thai’s Tactile Vernacular Collection

The Tactile Vernacular Collection utilizes a variety of textures that invite touch and create a sense of depth, transforming flooring from a background element into a dynamic part of the environment. The collection’s diverse patterns and finishes provide designers with tools to create spaces that are not only visually striking but also engage multiple senses, enhancing comfort and ambiance.

This approach aligns with the hospitality industry’s broader goal of creating immersive environments that foster memorable experiences. By focusing on texture, Royal Thai’s innovative flooring contributes significantly to the sensory palette of a room, making it an integral component in the overall design narrative.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Hospitality Design

BDNY 2024 highlighted current trends while offering a clear view of the future of hospitality design. New initiatives like the Dine & Design: A BDNY PopUp area reflected the industry’s growing focus on adaptable and multifunctional spaces. This trend caters directly to the evolving needs of modern travelers, who prioritize flexibility, comfort, and experience-driven environments.

As the hospitality industry continues to redefine itself, BDNY plays a crucial role in bringing together the innovators and trendsetters shaping the future. From Surfacing Solution’s tambour panels to the sustainable offerings by Havwoods and The Good Plastic Company, the event spotlighted products driving the industry forward—embracing sustainability, versatility, and impactful design.

1. Use Mood Lighting To Create A Cohesive Ambience

Japanese style and philosophy have the innate gift of making one feel calm, at peace, and almost zen-like. And, that’s exactly the kind of environment you want to create at your Thanksgiving dinner. Create a cohesive and harmonious ambiance by integrating soothing lighting options. Pick a gentle light source to guide guests, and form a welcoming atmosphere. You can use these lighting designs as centerpieces or along pathways.

Consider subtle candle designs like the Japanese Lantern Candle, and group multiple candles on a tray with other natural elements like stones or leaves to elevate the minimalist and Japanese-esque aesthetic.  Your guests will feel welcomed, warm, and at ease, allowing them to shed their worries and truly make the most of Thanksgiving.

Japanese Lantern Candle
