When the Maxtand debuted in 2019, the world was a completely different place. ‘Pandemics’ and ‘social distancing’ were words that never entered our regular conversations, and work-from-home was a rare luxury, not a necessity. Two full years into the global pandemic, the case for the Maxtand is stronger than ever. While we still struggle to work from homes on our dining tables and uncomfortable chairs and sofas, the Maxtand gives you the freedom to have your own standing desk wherever you want, and your spine the ability to stretch out so you’re not hunched over a laptop for hours at an end.

The Maxtand 2.0 is a slick little laptop stand that can sit flat against your desk when you want, and elevate your laptop by as much as 15.1 inches (38.5cm) when fully expanded. Think of it like Apple’s Pro Stand for your laptop, but 95% cheaper.

The Maxtand 2.0 sports the same 3-pivot design as its predecessor, albeit with a newer, lighter, stronger aluminum alloy construction. It weighs a paltry 6.6 pounds and can be folded down to a thickness of 1.75 inches, allowing you to easily slide the stand right into your backpack to carry with you. Once you’re ready to get to work, the stand sits between your table and laptop, offering an infinitely adjustable arrangement that allows you to choose not just the height you want, but the angle you want too. With new stainless-steel friction hinges, the new stand design has a load-bearing capacity of a staggering 50lbs, so you can place your laptop as well as the weight of both your palms on the Maxtand 2.0, and it won’t buckle or change height/angles while you work.

You can either clip the Maxtand 2.0 to your desk at work, use it as a hovering table when you’re working in bed, or even use it on the floor. The stand works seamlessly with all laptops, but even supports desktop monitors, tablets, and more. Whether you’re looking for a standing-desk setup, or whether you’d like to position your laptop at an angle as you type away on a wireless keyboard, or even if you need a small table to work while you’re on your sofa, the Maxtand’s combination of sturdy build-quality with a flexible and practical design (that works with monitors, laptops, tablets, projectors, etc.) makes it an ideal addition to your workspace, no matter where it is!

The stand comes in a ‘Regular’ variant as well as a marginally smaller ‘Slim’ variant. The Maxtand 2.0 Slim’s available on Kickstarter for $119, while the Regular costs just $30 more. The units begin shipping in May.

You can wear the PRIM backpack any way you like

It’s just incredibly nice to have a bag that’s accommodating to your needs. A bag that isn’t too big when you’re carrying a small bunch of things, or isn’t too small when you’ve got loads of stuff to tug around. A bag that shapeshifts based on how you want to carry it, and has dedicated spaces for everything you need to carry.

The PRIM, for most parts, is such a bag. It’s not daringly avant-garde, it isn’t boringly mundane either. It’s just right. Slim, slick, yet spacious, the backpack comes in two sizes, meant for either 13″ or 15″ laptops, and sports detachable/re-attachable straps that let you carry it like a traditional backpack, sidestrap, sling, or even allow you to strap it to your luggage or bike. This autonomy gives you the ability to carry things the way YOU want them, and the backpack’s design itself allows you to carry more than just your laptop. The bag is spacious enough to store books, stationery, chargers, EDC, with dedicated compartments and mesh-lined pockets for all your accessories, and even has dedicated hidden slots on the outside for your phone, card, or passport, along with hanging-loops for your sunglasses, bottles, and any other accessories you may have on you.

The PRIM’s backpack is but one of its series of convenient storage products. The PRIM series even comes with its own specialized mini-packs for smaller items like gaming consoles (like the Nintendo Switch), or its mini travel-pack for your travel essentials like passport, tickets, currency, and cards. The PRIM’s smallest offering, its belt/leg pack is the perfect contemporary fanny-pack that can either clip to your belt, pocket, or even strap around your leg. Meant for your EDC essentials, the Belt/Leg pack can carry your phone, earphones, multi-tools, ID cards, keys, and everything you’d love to have instantly available to you. No matter what you want to carry, the PRIM’s got an answer.

All of PRIM’s bags come made from tough, Cordura fabric known for its weather and damage-proof resilience. The zippers are waterproof and durable too, and come with zipper covers to deter theft, and can even be locked using combination travel locks. The bags are all spacious, and customizable, with padded dividers that let you segregate items and allocate an organized, dedicated space for each of your belongings. Lastly, PRIM’s modular approach to carrying your backpack even comes with an ergonomic option. For people who carry bags on long commutes, or people with posture problems and back pain, PRIM packs an ergonomic strap-frame that you can fasten any of PRIM’s backpacks to. The ergonomic backload frame corrects your posture while distributing weight effectively, so you can carry all your items without feeling the stress of carrying all your items. Now if that isn’t just the right approach to backpack design, I don’t know what is!

The Right Way to Design an iPhone Case

Apple isn’t a tech company anymore. I first heard this saying a few years ago as designers and tech experts sat and analyzed Apple’s recruitment of Marc Newson and Yves Saint Laurent CEO Paul Deneve to work for the world’s most valuable company. Apple is a fashion company. Their motive is to produce gadgets that look as precious as jewels, with colors like Rose Gold and Champagne Gold only driving the point home. People line up outside Apple Stores not because their phones are superiorly functional (that’s arguable), but because the phones have people in a trance.

It’s however difficult to find accessories for Apple’s phones that follow the same philosophy of being fashionably functional. Phone cases, for instance, are way too utilitarian, and while phones grow thinner and more beautiful, cases are more and more necessary to keep those phones looking good… but at the price of destroying their aesthetic. What the Rmour does differently is that it protects the iPhone, but more importantly, it doesn’t steal the iPhone’s thunder… it adds to it.

Minimal in size, but heavily expressive, the Rmour beautifully echoes Apple’s new philosophy of creating products that are objects of desire. It adds precious silver and gold to the edges of your phone in a bumper format that highlights your phone’s design by showing off as much of it as possible, while its beautiful design sits on your iPhone like a solitaire diamond ring. Made from 925 Silver with a 18K White Gold enamel, the Rmour come in various styles that add aesthetic beauty to your phone while making sure it stays protected from accidental drops. The Rmour’s individual members adhere to your phone’s corners and absorb impact from all directions. Designed to provide all-round protection, the Rmour even comes with a variant that forms a ring around the camera bump, making sure your phone pretty much never makes contact with the floor or any flat surface when dropped.

With a variety of styles inspired by iconic design details (including Dame Zaha Hadid’s Mesa Table as one of its inspiration sources), the Rmour case does the right thing by treating the iPhone as a fashion gadget, rather than a smartphone. Made for the iPhone 8, 8Plus, but more importantly the most stylish iPhone of them all the iPhone X, Rmour adds protection to your phone like most cases, but at the same time, it also adds style and value, without subtracting anything from the iPhone’s already gorgeous design because there’s no reason you should need to choose between the beauty of a sleek smartphone and the need to preserve that very beauty.

ARES was inspired by the works of renowned Iraqi-British architect and designer, Zaha Hadid. One of her most famous pieces, the Mesa table, incorporates the form and space found in natural environments.

The triangular element on the surface creates a modern and elegant look. The triangles on the surface are from a quality enamel, and underneath is a 925 sterling silver that is plated with white gold.

This Side-table Can Drop Some Bass!

Imagine this. You’re at home with the TV on, watching an intense movie. You’ve got a tub of popcorn resting on the table beside you. That table also happens to be a 360° speaker, giving you hi-def rich sound while also doubling up as a wonderfully charming piece of furniture!

The Mellow table is what you get when Salone Del Mobile meets the Consumer Electronics Show. It presents a new age for decor that becomes multi-purpose by integrating themselves with technology. A trend even Bang and Olufsen is beginning to catch on to, with their highly decorative wall-hanging speakers, and Norton, with its beautiful Wi-Fi router that looks like it was blessed by Swarovski. The Mellow is a multimedia table. Its elegant wood+fabric construction makes it fit classically into any home without standing out too much. The thing that does make it stand out though, is that under the table’s surface lie four 15W speakers as well as 4 passive radiators, churning out sound capable of transforming your house into a cinema, or making it the perfect venue for everything from easy-listening to a rocking house party! Working wirelessly with any multimedia device, and a number of third-party music platforms, the Mellow table can be kept anywhere in your room without worrying about cables near your tables. It does however come with an auxiliary input for non-wireless devices. The Mellow comes with embroidered controls on its fabric facade, allowing you to increase/decrease the volume or pause and play tracks. The Mellow also boasts of a 6600mAh battery on the inside, capable of not just giving you 7 hours of playback, but also useful for charging your phones (via 2 USB ports on the side). Also a cleverly convenient way to keep your phone near the table for a much better wireless playback experience! Is your side-table this capable??
