A Modern Humidifier with Old Timey Inspiration

lantern 00

In the olden days before electricity, lanterns were the only way to light your path. You’d have to march your way to the oil supply and refill it to keep things aglow. Inspired by this experience, the Lantern Humidifier adopts a similar functionality for refilling the reservoir.

Unlike most designs which feature a cumbersome, removable tank, the LH is designed to ease the refill process with a handled design you can take anywhere. Simply lift the lid and run under any faucet to refill. Better yet, take it with you from room to room to ease your breathing with moisture-rich air. An ode to its unique inspiration, it’s also equipped with a light that illuminates your bedside or workspace with a subtle, comforting glow.

A Router that Won’t Ruin Your Life!

yrouter_01

The Y router begs the question WHY?! Specifically, WHY are all routers so dang ugly! Seriously, I just moved into a new apartment over the weekend… spent a ton of time making it look spectacular… only to kill my vibes when the internet company came to install my wireless router. YUCK. Lucky for me, I was able to hide the unsightly monster. However, we shouldn’t have to. That’s the idea behind the model Y.

Unlike the antiquated box/antenna form, Y’s triangular shape is at once minimalistic, sculptural and functional. Its internal parts have been reorganized in a more sensible way that keeps the antenna contained and protected. Better yet, one section of the triangle is dedicated to cable storage! You can actually tuck away any extra cord directly into the device. Until Mark Zuckerberg gets thats universal internet idea off the ground, I NEED this in my life!
