This circular steam iron lets you glide over stubborn wrinkles ergonomically without breaking a sweat

Posted on by

Going through the piles of laundry is one task and then having to iron through all the creases is altogether another. To save time and effort, steam irons have cut out a niche for themselves, and to add a different, more sophisticated approach, the Iron-B by Gökçe Nafak is born. This is an advanced steam iron that will let you iron out the rigid wrinkle without having to break a sweat.

Steam irons are a hot and steamy way to keep linens and everyday wear spick and span. These irons have evolved with time to now feature drip-free steaming and are adjustable to the type of cloth you’re ironing. The progress has also reached a point where the steam irons now have digital displays and auto shut-off features to save you time and let you iron with more efficiency, not only on a horizontal surface but vertically as well. The concept of ironing vertically has become mainstream, it works without the device having to create contact with the clothing – the idea is to only use steam on possibly all types of fabrics and iron them with finesse.

The Iron-B with a retractable cord (to minimize the wire clutter) is a cusp of the concept of regular and vertical steam irons. Designed ergonomically with a heat-resistant handle, this rounded base device, features a TrueGlide nonstick soleplate so no matter the fabric – cotton, polyester, silk, cashmere, lace, or viscose, the Iron-B can glide through with precise efficiency, leaving you with nothing to worry about.

This ironing device conceived by Gökçe Nafak is engineered with B Steam technology. This allows the iron to deliver a consistent steam flow throughout its base producing an end result that’s beyond expectation. To take the guesswork out of ironing, the Iron-B soleplate maintains an optimal temperature level for every type of fabric that can be controlled from the onboard dial of this potato masher-style steam iron.

To facilitate use in either orientation – horizontally or vertically to quickly touch up a shirt or a dress right on the hanger – the nonstick soleplate of the Iron-B offers 2x smoother glide over the fabric, while the powerful bursts of steam effectively remove the most stubborn wrinkles in seconds. This simple to use, lightweight and extremely powerful steam iron is chargeable using a USB cable and is ideal for a modern abode where everyday ironing is a chore.

This stackable + portable fiberglass table-chair combo takes convenience of home office to the garden

Posted on by

Working from home has helped abate long commutes and undue office distraction from our schedule, but it has eventually made us less social (if you know what I mean). Working alone at home, sitting by the same wall – no matter the congenial work environment you have tried to create – you’re still devoid of what’s going on beyond the zoom meetings and co-working software. Folding furniture has been the first choice for many professionals considering its space-saving functionality but stackable furniture with all-weather durability is going to outpace the former. Presenting a likable option in that space, industrial designer Gökçe Nafak has conceived the uuma portable table and chair combo, which is delivered in one stackable unit you can use in multiple setting both indoors and outdoors.

During the work from home regime, there may be times when you want to move to the balcony/garden and work while soaking in some sun. It seems easy with the choice of outdoor furniture, but if you have tried – you know – meeting the comfort of the workstation outside is not possible, and you end up cutting the adventure short, only to return to the more efficient work environment. With the umma the scenario is alterable. You can have a comfortable seat that can raise or lower on demand and can be clipped open to reveal a height-adjustable table. This table and chair can then be equally comfortable whether you choose to place it outside or inside in your home-office nook. This means, with uuma you can work wherever and whenever you can find the right motivation and creativity you need for your work.

This portable table and chair combo is made from fiberglass, which offers the unit its much-needed portability and durability. Fiberglass by virtue is a sustainable and pretty affordable material, it is also lightweight and robust in nature. The customizable furniture unit comprises four parts primarily that can be removed or put together with minimum know-how. The modular parts of the uuma include a height-adjustable metal leg – forming the central frame – and the lower and upper table layers.

Made in three bright colors to match the modern interiors, uuma comes strapped up in a nylon band, which can be clipped open to unveil the magic. With a subtle move, you can have a chair with a storage compartment, which when needed can be disassembled to deliver a table from within – a table and a chair combo was never so conveniently available!

This slideout induction kitchen cooktop showcases portability modern cooks will appreciate

Posted on by

The more space you can save in your kitchen, the better it is for freeing up a workable area for cooking activities. Normally induction cooktops take up quite a chunk of the kitchen island, and their portability isn’t much to talk about. To set this notion right, Gökçe Nafak has reimagined the induction cooktop as a portable appliance with a third slideout cooktop for masterchefs who believe in culinary delight – anytime, anywhere! This saves space while giving you the freedom of using three cooktops at once. If only two or one of them is required, the third sliding one hides from plain sight.

Gökçe calls it the Fortido Induction Cooker – portraying it as a practical solution for quick tasty meals. The lower-level cooktop slides out like a drawer for convenience and the flexibility of daily usage. Not something your current cooktop can boast of. The design of the radical induction cooker makes it perfect for modern homes that are getting a smaller footprint, as real estate spaces shrink – especially in cities. For people who have to constantly keep changing their apartments, Fortido is a great option, thanks to its ultra-portable design.

All the cooking settings are placed optimally for quick operation – perfectly matching the cooktop’s minimal theme. Gökçe’s concept design should prompt appliance makers to create a similar commercially available product. An induction cooker that does more while being less in its footprint!

This minimal planter + table lamp design is the modern day desk accessory for every millennial home!

Living in a confined apartment but you want to capitalize on your longtime dream of growing edibles and plants. Don’t let the lack of outside space pull you back. You can grow the herbs, veggies and greens, well inside the confines of your home. Of course, there are challenges in nurturing an indoor garden. Your plants will need the right amount of sunlight to grow since light triggers photosynthesis that plants turn into energy to grow. But how do you ensure ideal sunlight for growing plants indoors, especially during the winter months for instance? This is where you’ll have to weigh your options and a device like the LUMISO will fit the bill.

We know abundant sunlight is essential to assist the healthy growth of indoor plants. However, the key to successful gardening is to know which type of plant requires how much light to thrive, and what part of the house has that kind of sunlight. Or maybe you can introduce the LUMISO to your home, which comes with grow-lights that offer an exclusive light spectrum giving your plants the right amount of solar and ultraviolet rays they need to thrive.

Thankfully also, the LUMISO is not a mundane planter. It can sit beautifully on the desk and function as a table lamp as well as emitting cool and warm light that replicates the natural solar spectrum. The flower pot and lamp has a button in the base which is used to turn on the grow-light and it comes with replaceable blubs so they can be easily replaced at the end of life. So, if you are now willing to have a garden for your culinary herbs and little plants with additional light on your work desk, the LUMISO is a befitting device to let you do both.
