The Coolest Laptop-cooling-stand

aluminum_laptop_stand_1

This one-piece aluminum laptop stand has a two-fold purpose. It serves as a barrier between your heated laptop base and your lap (or your desk), and its unique slatted design helps it act like a massive heatsink, pulling the heat from your laptop and distributing it across the multiple aluminum ‘fins’ at the base, and then dissipating it into the air. The fins/slats help increase the surface area so the heat gets lost at a faster rate, allowing the laptop stand to effectively cool the laptop without having to be plugged in. They even go as far as helping with wire-separation/segregation. Plus, its machined aluminum design goes together rather well with laptops having an aluminum body (case in point being the Macbook, obviously).

No Simpler Sharpener

Zirconia-Sharpener---0

The Zirconia Sharpener is an expression of the beauty of analog! It doesn’t get more simple or perfect than this! The blade and body are made from zirconia, fused into a single uni-body block. By utilizing zirconia’s unique material properties, the blade doesn’t need to be changed and offers a smooth sharpening experience. Unlike plastic versions with an affixed blade, you won’t mind leaving this one out as an accessory on your desk!

Designers: Chengtao Yi & Bryan Wong
