This emotive desk lamp embodies the fondest memories of your childhood rainy days!

Posted on by

Woo-bi desk lamp instantly reminds us of our childhood when we would wear brightly colored raincoats and splash water everywhere as we walked around with our friends.

‘Woo-bi’ literally means raincoat in Korean and the emotional design expresses a child’s innocence through soft lighting. Complete with a little ‘hood’, the playful form and warm CMF really connects with the user. We love the form of this design and the hat adds in functionality by being movable – just as it protects you from the rain, move the hat to control your exposure to the lamp’s brightness. Another fun feature is the knob of the lamp, which doubles as the tip of the umbrella/hat and helps you dim/brighten the lamp as needed. The charging point comes with a magnet for quick docking. If the yellow is too chirpy, there is a green variant to soothe your eyes!

The minimal desk lamp is sure to spark joy even on gloomy days.

Architecture meets stationery in this thatched roof pencil stand – the perfectly minimal desk accessory!

Posted on by

Got bored of the same old way of keeping writing instruments, business cards, or paper clips on your desk? Want a change from the age-old method of storing them in a stand or simply in the desk drawer? Then it’s time to make a refreshing shift to the very idea of having a small roofed house that displays your pencils and organizes your business cards, paper clips, or other small stationery desk items in the most soul-pleasing manner!

Industrial designer Jaekyoung Oh got the idea of pepping up the way we keep office supplies without losing the actual purpose and the essence. Keep enough pencils in the grooves of the (roof meant to hold the pencils/pens) and you’ll have a whole new roofed mini house on your desk. Take that obsession further and you can actually create a small town on your desk. Sounds liberating right? Other than that you can also keep the mini house minus the thatched roof to store paper clips, important business cards or other office essentials that are required on daily basis. So even a couple of these on your desk would be just right to get you into that productive working regime. After all, small things like these help you get in the zone, and perform at your best!

Alright if, I’m going way off the charts with the imagination, then to be a little subtle – the Small Town pencil and office supplies holder is a very unique way of keeping things on your work desk. It’s practical, looks good, and better than having the same boring accessories!

The shift can be done in under a minute by pushing and pulling the lever using the lock holder for the ultimate convenience of riding without missing out on the fun element.

Dubbed the A R C _ Electric kickboard, this minimal kick scooter’s design has a very modern approach – keeping in mind practicality of use. Things like the foot support can be toggled depending on the sitting position by simply pressing lightly with the feet. To ensure no one has unwanted access to your ride, it comes with a fingerprint recognition system with intelligent security built into the display that also shows the vital telemetry like the level of charge, real-time speed, and navigation details.

The simplicity of this kick scooter’s design is what makes it so desirable – ideal for an urban lad who’s looking for a convenient commuter powered by pure electric energy. Jaekyoung has actually managed to understand what a user truly wants in their kick scooter, and this design a testament to that fact!
