A full shower experience with customizable micro filters, the Lab224 shower head is changing how humans shower

Imagine if Bath and Body Works merged with your bathroom accessories – that instead of cluttering up your shelves with a gazillion bottles, your showerhead holds a complete spa experience. That is the promise hs² studio’s Lab224 Watercare Showerhead brings to your bathroom.

The bathroom can be a space of zen, the one part of your home that is a sanctuary where you cut off from screens and just be. The showerhead’s aurora-colored aesthetics showcases the filter of choice. You can choose from anything between creating a sensuous spa experience to using a microfilter to ensure you only get the purest water contacting your skin. Whatever your skin’s problem/concerns, you can have your favorite add ons – aloe vera, tea tree oil, vitamin supplements – it’s a DIY care package in a tiny handle-sized package. The sprinkler plate had microholes that give you a gentle yet powerful stream of bath, adding to the overall luxury of your bath experience.

Sleek, minimal, with aesthetic highlights just enough to accentuate your bathroom, the Lab 224 showerhead is a next-generation solution to bathroom of all sizes. Given the number of ideas we get in the shower, I genuinely believe we must amplify our bathroom experience to help our brain destress and let the creative juices flow.

When the opening of curtains inspired a fridge door design…

One of my favorite home appliances will always be the refrigerator! I find myself greedily looking for snacks within it, at exact intervals of two hours. For me, the fridge is the abode of everything I hold holy; all things delicious and consumable! Innovative refrigerator designs seem to always be around the corner. However, this one’s the result of an eccentric inspiration! Kim Hyunsoec of hs2 studio created ‘Crevice’. Crevice is a beautiful 900x1970x920 mm double door fridge. Inspired by the experience of drawing your curtains wide open, the handles of the double door of Crevice completely resemble the opening of a curtain! The neat slit with it’s widened edges facing opposite directions brings to mind the exact moment when you grab the corners of your curtain, to tug them apart on a lazy Sunday morning.

Created from stainless steel and featuring a matte black sheen, the aesthetics of Crevice have been designed to complement the interiors of your home. More than an electrical home appliance, it gives the impression of a piece of furniture. The furniture-like feel it resonates makes it suitable to be placed not only in the kitchen but also in the dining or living area. Spacious from within, it is divided into four vertical compartments with six shelving areas, providing ample space for your innumerous groceries. Not only is Crevice a storage wonder, but we must commend the visual appeal it possesses. This is a refrigerator with style!

Petdali’s pet wheelchair gives Lassie extra feet

I’ve had the good fortune of having pets at home, and during their growing years, I’ve seen their mischief getting them into trouble. One of my Alsatians was quite a perky guy and would love running and jumping the fences. On one occasion, I remember him injuring his hind leg and had to limp around for several weeks. Back in the days we didn’t have pet wheelchairs, and the one like Petdali’s pet wheelchair, would have been godsend. Although designed for pets with hind-leg disabilities, and with the ability to adapt to a growing pup, this pet wheelchair is not radically different than the ones we see in the market today, but is a refined version of them. The harness looks a lot easier to use and so it the construction of the back limbs straps. Comfort and adaptability being the key words here, I’m looking forward to seeing this in the market soon.

View Your Phone Differently

tilt_charger_layout

A phone which is perpendicular to your eye line is never going to offer you the ultimate viewing experience and you aren’t likely to stare directly down on your phone as it lies on a horizontal surface. This is exactly what conventional wireless charging forces you to do, thankfully the designers of ‘Tilt’ identified this problem and have engineered a solution!

The top of the speaker allows the user’s phone to wirelessly charge in a conventional manner, but if the user is to place their phone to one side, the whole product tilts. The asymmetrical lip on the top section of the device holds the phone in place, allowing for a much more comfortable viewing angle!

This isn’t Tilt’s only party trick however; when it is turned over it can be used as a Bluetooth speaker, and due to its compact and portable design, it can be taken with the user wherever they go!

A Penguin Meant for Flying

penguin_00

This tuxedoed carry-on luggage set takes animalistic inspiration, ironically, from everyone’s favorite flightless bird – the penguin! In stark white with black detailing, this handsome bag is at once minimalistic and playful. Because we have a tendency to carry additional belongings on our rolling luggage, the top is slightly larger (and kinda beak-like!) to make it easier. Here, a larger handle is ergonomically adapted to make lifting and opening more comfortable and stable.

Tangible Tuning

split_01

No two people prefer the same settings when it comes to jamming out so why should our speakers be the same? Taking this concept into consideration, Split provides an interactive way to tune the speaker to exactly your taste.

Splits into 3 sections for woofer, midrange and tweeter, each can be pushed or pulled separately to control the intensity. Different users can adjust it to their liking, or it can be adapted to different genres. Over time, you’ll not only recognize the sound levels you like, but the what it looks like visually on the unit!
