It is easy to take for granted how much technology we surround ourselves with every day, but somehow, even surrounded by screens, real connections at home can feel harder than ever. That is the challenge at the heart of ITDA, a concept design from Korea that aims to help families find each other again in the most gentle and thoughtful way possible.

The name ITDA comes from a Korean word that means “to connect,” and that philosophy runs through every detail. This is not just another smart gadget or an app notification fighting for your attention. Instead, ITDA is a collection of gentle, tactile objects designed to quietly restore the little moments we have been missing, those exchanges of feeling and warmth that get lost in the shuffle of daily life.

Designers: Hyunwoo Jung, Yehoon Cho, Sieun Cha, Gayeon Kim

At the center of the system is TOPI, a device that looks more like a minimalist home sculpture than anything you would expect from a tech product. Set it on the kitchen table or by the entryway, and it becomes a gentle hub for conversation. Instead of sending out alerts or lighting up with endless information, TOPI introduces topics when family members are together, using a display that feels inviting rather than commanding. There is even a little shelf on its back for keys or treasures, which feels like a reminder that the belongings we carry say as much about us as our words do.

The rest of the collection is just as quietly clever. TILO gives a more humane spin on that drab office time card. Instead of something you dread, it welcomes you home with a familiar voice as soon as you step in the door and put in your personal card. It is the kind of touch that could easily become a small but meaningful ritual, the sound of someone who cares, right when you need it most.

Then there is TOK, a pebble-shaped device made for those times when words are tough to find. Instead of forcing a conversation, TOK lets you send a simple signal, by inserting the pebble-shaped object into TOPI that matches your mood, messages that say, “I am thinking of you,” or “I would like to talk.” It is nonverbal, simple, and maybe even a little poetic, especially for anyone who has ever wished they could reach out without having to explain everything.

What is striking about ITDA is how little it asks of you. There are no complicated screens to navigate, no endless setup menus, and no pressure to perform. The forms are gentle and approachable, meant to blend into your home rather than take it over. Every element, from the way you interact with the devices to the materials themselves, feels designed for comfort and calm.

It is worth remembering that ITDA is just a concept right now, not something you can buy and plug in tomorrow. But as a piece of design thinking, it feels especially timely. In a world where smart often means louder, brighter, and busier, ITDA turns the volume down and gently nudges us back toward each other. Maybe that is the real innovation: a reminder that sometimes, the most important connections do not happen on a screen, they happen in the quiet spaces we make for each other.

Et si on appliquait la philosophie des IDE de développement aux outils juridiques ?

C’est exactement ce qu’a fait Drew Miller avec Tritium, un éditeur de texte écrit en Rust qui traite les documents juridiques comme des projets de code, avec annotation automatique, du redlining intégré et des performances à 60 FPS.

Drew Miller n’est pas n’importe qui dans cette histoire. Cet ancien avocat corporatiste chez Schulte Roth & Zabel à Londres a passé plus de 10 ans à jongler entre droit transactionnel et développement logiciel. En août 2024, il franchit le pas et lance Tritium Legal Technologies avec une vision claire : révolutionner le traitement de texte pour les avocats d’affaires. Son constat c’est que les outils actuels, Word en tête, sont des bloatwares qui sont utilisés depuis 40 ans sans répondre aux besoins spécifiques du secteur juridique.

I have a friend who has more than two cats and she always tells me that the most stressful part about being a cat parent is the constant cleaning of the litter box. She sometimes can’t stay out too long because if she doesn’t clean up the box, it will smell bad obviously. Of course, cats poop several times so this is pretty normal. And more often than not, these litter boxes are eyesores that you have to hide when you have visitors (or hide from your own eyes as well).

The Cat Litter Box Enclosure is a concept for a creative solution for that particular problem that is as functional as it is aesthetic. Instead of settling for the standard plastic trays we’re all used to hiding away in corners, designer Gia Han Pham has reimagined the traditional litter box with a fresh, sophisticated perspective that seamlessly fits into contemporary homes. Drawing inspiration from minimalist aesthetics, she has focused on clean lines, gentle curves, and a subtle color palette that quietly elevates any room. This isn’t just about hiding the litter box; it’s about making it an intentional part of your décor. Her thoughtful approach addresses the needs of both pets and their owners, providing a discreet, stylish shelter that you’ll actually want to show off.

Designer: Gia Han Pham

The enclosure features clean lines, neutral tones, and a subtle wood finish, making it easy to blend with any decor style, whether it’s a cozy farmhouse look or sleek Scandinavian. It’s clear that every element, from the choice of materials to the gentle curves, was chosen with both pets and people in mind. But the design also prioritizes the cat’ comfort and the owner’s convenience. Your pet has plenty of room to move around the enclosure so they still feel comfortable and unconfined. There’s a cleverly designed entrance where they can slip in and out with ease while still keeping the litter scatter contained. More importantly, it has discreet vents so the air can keep flowing and minimize those unpleasant odors that can sometimes linger in regular litter boxes.

So, if you’re like my friend or most of cat parents who are tired of sacrificing style for the sake of your pets, this concept offers a breath of fresh air. Instead of feeling embarrassed when guests drop by or constantly worrying about lingering smells, you’ll have peace of mind. Your space stays beautiful, your cats stay comfortable, and the dreaded clean-up routine feels just a little bit easier.

Je ne suis pas nerd de l’impression 3D même si j’adore ma Bambulab parce qu’elle fonctionne à tous les coups sans me demander 3h de réglages. Et je sais aussi reconnaitre quand une idée est cool et c’est le cas ici avec cette imprimante 3D qui utilise un tapis de course comme plateau, ce qui lui permet d’imprimer de longues pièces.

On appelle ça une imprimante à bande et dans le commerce c’est vendu par exemple par Creality pour un peu plus de mille euros… Mais la faire soi-même avec du matériel de sport, c’est quand même plus cool. Surtout quand on trouve des tapis de course sur Leboncoin à 50 balles, abandonnés par leurs propriétaires après trois sessions de cardio et une prise de conscience que Netflix et les M&M’s c’est quand même bien plus sympa que de transpirer.

Ducati stable is loaded with high-performance road-legal bikes, but none better than the Panigale V4 S.  For those who cannot afford the real thing, LEGO has the next best option – a buildable set that’ll be the perfect gift for a motorhead.

The Italian marque’s DNA flows in this breathtaking design of a racing demon that comes with the rush of acceleration and precision handling on the chicanes. Now it’s your chance to build the iconic Ducati bike from scratch and show off on your workstation setup or living room shelf.

Designer: LEGO Group

This lifelike recreation in a 1:4 scaled-down version replicates every little detail of the racer and the mechanical intricacies as well. When put together the 1603-piece brick model is strikingly close to the real thing. The builders have gone down to the level of emulating the sophisticated 3-speed pedal gear shift that sets the 1 cm plastic Desmosedici Stradale 3 hp engine in motion. The rear wheels spin to engage the chain, setting the cool LEGO bike in motion. Add to that the realistic front and rear suspension, and a mechanically similar steering input, and you have a simulated experience of a MotoGP or Superbike.

LEGO Technic Ducati Panigale V4 S model measures more than 30 cm in height, 43 cm in length and 15 cm in width when completely put together by experience or using the companion app. Draped in the signature Ducato red, the set can be displayed on a dedicated stand to look like a miniature copy of the Panigale V4 S. Priced at $200, the LEGO set is slated to go on sale in stores and online portals on January 1, 2025. The set is targeted towards people aged 18 or older, and we already love the idea.
