Camera (1) is a compact, metal-bodied camera designed for ease of use, featuring a single-edge control layout that allows for quick adjustments without navigating a touchscreen. This design is particularly beneficial during cherry blossom season when moments are fleeting and require immediate capture.
I have virtually no idea what the finished piece will look like until I actually begin working with the wood. As a result, the form often emerges as I carve, and I frequently change my plans midway through the process. Naturally, I keep the many failures a secret.
Designed by Michael Kritzer, an industrial designer with Red Dot, iF, and Cannes Lions awards to his name, Dollights are inspired by creative Kokeshi dolls, those beautifully varied Japanese wooden figures that range from traditional to wildly expressive. The connection isn't literal. You won't mistake these for dolls on a shelf. But the DNA is there in the proportions, that satisfying relationship between a rounded head and a tapered body, the way each silhouette feels like it has its own quiet personality.
Kintsugi 金継ぎ is known as the Japanese art of putting broken things back together, like broken pottery, using materials mixed with powdered gold and other elements. Instead of hiding damage, this technique celebrates the restoration of an object once viewed as broken, flawed, or imperfect. This same process can be seen as a metaphor for addiction recovery. Even for people with addiction who willingly choose recovery, there's an element of being remade that can't be ignored. Addicts often go through a period of denial.

Japanese design has spent centuries perfecting the balance between restraint and richness. These seven gifts embody that philosophy, where every material choice and geometric decision carries intention. From transparent polycarbonate that frames music like sculpture to hand-planted bristles that honor century-old brush-making techniques, each piece reflects the considered craftsmanship that typically commands luxury prices. The precision is palpable, the materials exceptional, yet the cost remains accessible.
These clothes are not secondhand, says Yin Xiuzhen, the Beijing-born artist known for creating large-scale installations out of found garments and keepsakes. I prefer to call them used' or worn', she explains. Clothes that have been worn' carry a lot of information like a second skin, imprinted with social meaning. In some of Yin's works the clothes are her own, telling a personal story. In others, the clothes are collected, stained and stretched across towering steel frames resembling planes, trains or organic forms.
