Here are three novel desktop power delivery solutions from Humanscale Design Studio.

Their M/Connect 2 docking station is another way to deliver power to your desk neatly. The hub sits at the base of a monitor arm, keeping a minimal footprint while delivering...
Why Tariffs Can be Tricky: The Honda Ridgeline is a More "American" Truck than a Ford F-150
Once upon a time American factories, like factories around the world, had raw materials delivered to one end. Out of the other end emerged finished products: Automobiles, sewing machines, appliances.
Those days are long gone, and they're not coming back. Manufacturing and supply chains have grown ever more complex in the relentless pursuit of efficiency and maximizing profits; for instance, it's cheaper to have wiring harnesses made in Vietnam than Detroit. And modern manufacturing complexity means components can require multiple fabrication steps in different countries. Some parts for automobiles "made" in the U.S. might cross borders seven times before...

Biophilic Architecture without Plants: Invisible Design for Wellbeing

The term "biophilia" understandably conjures images of buildings engulfed by vegetation and integrated into natural landscapes. In modern architectural discourse, the concept has come to be associated with the incorporation of greenery into built environments, yet such applications represent only a sliver of biophilic design's true scope. Inarguably, nature plays a central role in biophilic design. However, its influence stretches to often-overlooked strategies that involve spatial configuration and environmental patterning. "Invisible" biophilia frequently leads to positive health outcomes for occupants, working...
