Created by industrial designer Jinkyo Han, this design exploration fuses transparency, minimalism, and refined geometry into a sleek product that balances form with implied function.

Lighting design has evolved far beyond simple switches and dimmers, yet most lamps still operate on the same basic premise: flip a switch, get light. This predictable relationship between user and object leaves little room for discovery, play, or the kind of tactile engagement that makes everyday interactions memorable and meaningful.

The idea was to show the true value of plastic, not as garbage but as possibility. While walking beneath the red gates of Fushimi Inari in Kyoto, the designer was struck by the pure, elemental form of the torii gate-a threshold that invites movement yet offers moments of stillness. That feeling of entering a calmer space became the soul of the bench's design.

Designed for modern homes where countertop space is at a premium, the device delivers hot, cold, and filtered water along with clear, clean ice with just a single press of a button. Its streamlined appearance and intuitive controls make it a practical addition for anyone who wants reliable hydration and ice without cluttering the kitchen.

Played on tiny grids with just a handful of units facing off against each other, the sci-fi tactics game pares the genre down to its very essentials. While that might sound like it would limit its strategic depth, it instead makes every decision count even more, turning every short battle into a tense, cerebral clash with next to no room for error.

While I'm not typically a fan of minimalist design, some brands call for stripped-back branding, and one company that's nailing the aesthetic is Blank Street. A Gen Z favourite, the laidback highstreet coffee store knows its customers to a tee, championing chic, lowkey vibes with a deliciously Instagrammable aesthetic. Recently unveiling its slick new rebrand, Blank Street reestablishes itself as a global lifestyle brand, owning its identity as a cult favourite.

Kylie Jenner's fashion label, KHY, has quickly become one of the most talked-about new names in contemporary style. Since launching, the brand has made headlines for its ability to merge wearable silhouettes with bold design perspectives from both emerging and established creators.

Now, the label introduces its latest partnership with New York-based designer Grace Ling.

French for "peony," the Pivoine Collection from Quebec-based lighting brand Luminaire Authentik does a stellar job of embodying the delicacy of the fragrant perennial, transforming it into sculptural lighting that feels both modern and timeless. From the first glance, Pivoine is an exercise in contrast - airy curves balanced by the grounded presence of powder-coated steel, petal-like silhouettes tempered by clean, contemporary lines.
