Minimalist kitchen island faucet lets you access clean water easily - Yanko Design

VLND Studio's Arc Water Faucet for kitchen islands is a striking new concept that challenges everything you expect from a drinking water faucet. Rather than following the typical bathroom-style design, Arc was created to stand out and serve a central purpose: delivering clean, purified drinking water with both elegance and innovation. At first glance, Arc is a showstopper. Its graceful, arching silhouette is inspired by the natural flow of water, creating a visual echo of water rising and cascading.

But if there were a more convenient way of using tea leaves, I'd probably go for it.

Adorable 'Pet Paw' bottle leaves cute pawprints instead of ugly water rings - Yanko Design

Most bottles, cups, glasses, or mugs have a tendency to leave a ring of water/liquid condensate if kept on a surface. It's why we use coasters or table mats, so these rings don't destroy our furniture or leave stains. Except, Michiru's bottle was designed to make those 'stains' desirable. Unlike most bottles that leave rings of water or florets (especially the carbonated bottles), Michiru's Pet Paw Bottle leaves pawprints.

"Data-driven" is dead

When I first came to the US a decade ago, I wasn't sure how I'd fit into the job market. I wasn't from here and didn't know the playbook. Through trial and error, I eventually found myself in the then-booming role of UX designer - a job that felt relatable, in demand, and easy to explain to others at the time. Like many in the field, I leaned heavily into the mantra of "data-driven" design. Every choice had to be backed by numbers, validated by user tests, or confirmed by analytics.

This User-friendly Walking Aid can seamlessly adjust between flat land, stairs, and slopes - Yanko Design

Traditional frames can be awkward to maneuver on slopes, unstable on rough terrain, and visually uninspiring. More importantly, they often carry a stigma, subtly signaling frailty rather than empowerment. US-based startup Mobilate saw this as a glaring opportunity.
