A Möbius strip walks into a design lab. That's not the setup for a joke. It's basically the origin story of Oakley's Infiniloop, the brand's latest
When Guillaume Bloget arrived at France's Rhizome Association for a research-creation residency, he was surrounded by lakes. Most people would have simply enjoyed the view. Bloget looked at the water and immediately started thinking about how to cut through it. The result is Sharp, a kayak built from folded aluminum sheet and cork, and it's one of the more quietly compelling design objects I've come across recently.
Most lamps don't ask questions. They turn on, throw light at you, and call it a day. You adjust the brightness, maybe swap out a bulb with a warmer hue if you're feeling particularly intentional about your space, and that's the extent of the conversation. For decades, that's been enough. But Korean brand BAENUE, the consumer-facing arm of LED technology company Baelux, is making a compelling argument that it shouldn't have been.
The first thing you notice is the red. A thick, corrugated red hose loops and curls its way through the Hirschstetten neighborhood of Vienna like something that escaped from a construction site and decided to stay. It pools on the ground. It arcs overhead. It feeds into wooden towers and snakes between them, connecting whoever happens to be on either end. That hose is the heart of The Outsiders, a set of mobile urban objects designed by collective Moradavaga for ROOMING INN's neighborhood Living Lab, and it's a smarter piece of design thinking than it initially looks.
The camping tent hasn't had a genuine rethink in decades. You still buy poles, you still wrestle with fiberglass or aluminum sleeves in the dark, and you still forget to pack the footprint. It's a ritual we've accepted as part of the experience, which is either charming or maddening depending on the day. Puffer, a small outdoor brand out of Utah, is betting on maddening.
Most architecture competitions produce something sleek, serious, and slightly self-important. The Veggery is none of those things, and that's precisely why it deserves your attention. Installed at the Barbican Estate's St Giles Terrace in London, The Veggery is a temporary greenhouse pavilion designed by Studio Folk Architects and design-and-build studio Raskl. It was the winning entry to the “Seeds in the City” competition, organized by the Culture Mile Business Improvement District as part of the closing stretch of the 2026 London Festival of Architecture.
Most cultural centers get built as cultural centers. They show up polished and purposeful, eventually becoming the kinds of places that exist for people who already feel at home in cultural spaces. The Villas de San Pablo Cultural Center in Barranquilla, Colombia, was designed with an entirely different intention, and it shows.
I've been staring at this watch for a while now, trying to figure out exactly what it is about it that makes me want to keep looking. It doesn't gleam. It doesn't catch the light the way luxury watches are supposed to. And yet, the Anoma A1 Prehistoric might be the most interesting watch to come out of 2026.
When you think of a church in Sicily, your mind probably goes somewhere ancient. Mosaic floors, Byzantine domes, the kind of gold that took centuries to accumulate. So when I came across the new Santa Barbara Parish Complex in Licata, a small coastal city in the island's southern province of Agrigento, it stopped me completely.
Those of a certain generation grew up in an era where space travel and discoveries were fascinating topics. A lot of young boys and girls dreamed of becoming astronauts and going into space to make amazing discoveries. While there were probably some who eventually did (or at least worked on it in some capacity), most of us stayed on Earth and just consumed various news and pop culture content that made us live vicariously through them. The fascination with space may have waned for some, but there are still those who love anything space-related, especially after the recent success of the Artemis mission.
