The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro drops (3a)'s plastic frame and brings a metal unibody design. It's also slimmer at 7.95mm (down from 8.4mm) but weighs the same (despite using metal instead of plastic). The phone is rated IP65 - Nothing couldn't quite hit the requirements for IP67, so it claims that the phone can survive submersion down to 25cm for 20 minutes.

Project to project, the two endeavor to build conceptual through lines, referencing past successes without resting on repeats. "We always want to create new recipes, but we have ingredients that we know work," reflects Giancarlo. "Maybe we'll add a new spice here, a new sauce there. In this field, you create your own rules, but you can also break them."

Daily life in design is shifting as designers now utilize a variety of tools beyond traditional software, showcasing skills akin to engineers in their coding practices.

The 1972 Porsche Design Chronograph 1 introduced the world to the idea of a 'blacked-out' watch, where both the case and the dial are colored black.

Designers have always been problem-solvers. But until recently, we were often boxed into solving parts of problems - the visuals, the flow, the usability.

The photos reveal a convex, bubble-shaped camera bump that looks like it's rising from the phone's back panel like a droplet of water.

By some estimations, Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West home-studio complex took shape in 1941, evolving significantly since Wright’s last visit in 1959.
