An Extreme Bent Plywood Chair
How far can you push bent plywood? Zurich-based industrial designer Jörg Boner seems to have pushed this 12mm-thick material as far as it will go:
"Rove chair is constructed from sewing patterns, much like those familiar from fashion. Plywood, with its flat layers of veneer, can also be seen as a kind of fabric. Like weaving, the wood grain intersects with each layer, giving stability to the final form."
"The limitation of a two-dimensional deformation serves as both the driving force and the inspiration for this chair. The core element...
A Cardboard Box That Requires No Glue nor Packaging Tape
Corrugated cardboard is recyclable and compostable. However, the hot-melt glue used to hold the boxes together, as well as the packaging tape that seals them, is not. Unwary gardeners who throw old Amazon boxes into their compost piles introduce microplastics or fiberglass filaments (the strands in that paper packaging tape) into their soil. Recycling facilities have extra machinery that filters those things out during the pulping process.
It would be better if no glue was required to hold a cardboard box together. Thus Chinese company Yuto Packaging has designed this Zero-Glue Express Box. It not only holds itself together,...

Smiljan Radić wins Pritzker Architecture Prize 2026
Chilean architect Smiljan Radić has been announced as the 2026 Pritzker Architecture Prize laureate for his buildings that are "immediately recognizable, yet conceptually evasive".
Radić, who established his practice Smiljan Radić Clarke in Chile in 1995, was revealed today as the 55th winner of the award, which is considered the most significant in the architecture field.
This year's jury, chaired by Chilean architect Alejandro Aravena, praised 61-year-old Radić for his experimentation and work that embraces something fundamental about the human condition.
Radić's work offers "quietly joyful shelter"
"Through a body of work positioned at the crossroads of uncertainty, material experimentation, and cultural memory, Smiljan...
A Chair That Scooches In and Out For You
For most of us, it's easy to scooch our chair forwards to a table, or slide it backwards to get up. But French architect Carlos Barba has observed that task is difficult for the elderly or disabled. He thus designed this Walking Chair, which uses simple physics to ease the task.
As a demonstration, here's a person with an injured foot trying it:
"The Walking Chair is an invention that allows a person to move to a table without getting up, thanks to a tilting mechanism activated by rotating the armrests. Designed for the elderly or people...Braga 25 - Portuguese Capital of Culture
More than a static visual identity, the graphic system for Braga 25 ? Portuguese Capital of Culture was conceived as a critical communication tool. Rather than creating an image from scratch, the project required the ability to listen to an existing graphic legacy and project it into a new institutional, cultural, and temporal context. The central challenge was to articulate the visual heritage of Braga's bid for European Capital of Culture 2027 with the city's newly implemented institutional identity.
The resulting system establishes a balance between recognition and renewal. Built upon inherited principles, the framework was refined into a flexible and...
Historic Architecture Emerges from Stone in Matthew Simmonds Ethereal Sculptures
From unassuming hunks of Carrara marble and limestone, Matthew Simmonds carves realistic, miniature gothic cathedral arches, stairwells, and colonnades. Often based on architectural details of real places, such as cities around Tuscany and Germany’s Bamberg Cathedral, the sculptures portray intimate details of corners, vaulted ceilings, arcades, and stairwells that can sometimes be peeked through additional apertures. The artist’s meticulously carved marble and limestone forms reveal smooth, ornate interiors while highlighting the natural quality of the stone.
Lately, Simmonds has been working consistently on a range of commissions, and he’s taking advantage of a current quiet period to return to experimentation in...

Аккумулятор и запуск машины зимой
Понимаю, от одного названия заметки уже повеяло тоской. А ведь есть целый мир людей, которые этой хренью прям интересуются, а не просто столкнулись и теперь вынуждены вникать!
Короче, у меня перестала заводиться машина — аккумулятор умер. Я случайно узнал, что у соседа есть портативное пусковое устройство. Ну, думаю, повезло. Договорился, взял. Удобно, что прямо на устройстве написано, как его подключать к аккумулятору.
Открываю капот, а аккумулятора не видно. Ну да, приколы современных машин, что всё куда-то запрятано. Нахожу отдельный чётко подписанный «плюс», а «минуса» нигде в округе нет. Иду гуглить, чё делать. Разумеется, находится куча видосов, где какие-то мутные мужики в тёмных гаражах с мультиметрами рассуждают о том, что что-то надо подключать «на массу». При этом натурально ничего не видно и ничего непонятно....
