The PixLens: An IRL Pixelator
This tiny piece of acrylic, just 34mm (1.3") square…
…is essentially an IRL pixelator:
The curious object was developed by Hakusi Katei, a Japanese materials engineer, and has a 16x16 pixel resolution. "From the initial concept through countless experiments, securing rights, mass production, and international shipping—it was a tough journey," writes Katei, who batch-produced a run of 700 units. He was rewarded: They sold out immediately.
Katei's currently working on a second batch scheduled to go on sale in April. If this is...

A Manual Pre-Drilling, Screwdriving & Hook Driving Tool
This peculiar tool may not make sense to a tradesperson who always has a cordless tool on their hip.
The Trio, by Japanese hand tool manufacturer Star-M, is an unpowered object with three functions: It can pre-drill holes, drive a screw, and install hooks.
The tool caught my eye because I live on a rural property. Sheds and outbuildings often need plenty of hooks and screws for hanging things, and for small jobs, it'd be easier to have one of these handy than even a cordless drill.
It comes in two...
More Than 180 Photographs Chronicle Brutalist Suburbs and Public Buildings in ‘Eastern Blocks II’
In the second half of the 20th century, “brutalism and the shall-we-call-it ‘marketplace modernism’…when it appeared in the East, was always about spectacle,” Zupagrafika founders David Navarro and Martyna Sobecka say in a blog post about Eastern Bloc suburbia.
Brutalist housing estates and public buildings of the post-war Soviet era were built on a massive scale, often from concrete and prefabricated panels, to accommodate growing populations and to demonstrate power, socialist values, and modernity. Sometimes blocked in color or complemented by murals, these hulking structures largely emphasized monolithic forms, an unmissable PR message about communist ideology.
TbilisiBrutalism is a study in contrasts—heaviness...

UI Experimentation: A Keyboard That Doubles as a Massive Trackpad
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/clevetura/clvx-1-for-mac-gesture-keyboard/widget/video.html
As a product of the 20th century, I prefer physical buttons to touch-capacitive surfaces. But I appear to be in the minority; gadget manufacturers today love fitting their objects out with the latter. This CLVX 1 keyboard, by Belarusian manufacturer Clevetura, is a strange hybrid. It's a full-size keyboard with actual scissor-switch keys that, collectively, serve as a swipeable touchpad.
The big question is, why? The company claims, as all tech manufacturers love to, increased productivity. "Seamless switching between typing and gestures speeds up your workflow like never before," they assert.
Twin sideboard by Dordoni Studio for Porro
Dezeen Showroom: Dordoni Studio referenced constructivist geometry when designing this angular, mirrored sideboard for Italian brand Porro.
The Twin sideboard features overlapping, elongated linear elements that intersect with mirrored planes, creating a bold sculptural object.
The Twin sideboard references constructivist geometryPorro describes it as "a minimalist statement that merges abstraction and gesture" and says it was born from an interpretation of constructivist approaches, which rejects decoration and prized geometric shapes.
"Its aesthetic purity arises from the intersection and interpenetration of two volumes, distinct yet harmoniously connected, creating ever-changing perspectives, further enhanced by the use of mirror," said Porro.
The piece features 45-degree jointsPorro and...
