Social Distancing designs needed along with face masks to be safe in the post-quarantine world!

One of the best parts was I didn’t have to order out when I was at work and it made me realize how quickly “But it is just $12!” adds up when you practically do it every other day. Seems like...

A small design detail on this umbrella makes it more paw-some than the others!

Designer He Yue observed that some people close their umbrellas and use it as a walking stick after it stops raining. He added a small detail on the stick that made the ‘Footprint’ umbrella instantly loveable. It’s not a revolutionary redesign but just taking into account human behavior and emotion to make you connect with daily objects some more. The...
