As we delve into the depths of Shadows n’ the Arena with Reggie Revels, we uncover a narrative of endurance intertwined with discipline and persistence. The subtle beauty of unseen labor and quiet repetition leads us to the essence of resolve, a testament to showing up fully and to how Reggie embodies that commitment.
Peek-a-Blue by Nimtim Architect transforms a Small Space
Ultramarine-blue-framed openings punctuate this London home renovation by local studio Nimtim Architects, creating strong visual links between newly connected living spaces.
Named Peek-a-Blue, the project reimagines the home’s previously compact and disjointed ground floor, transforming it into a sequence of fluid, interconnected spaces tailored to modern family life.
'In Remembrance Archways' serves as a personal ode to storytelling and the preservation of childhood memory, brought to life through form and performance art.
In Remembrance Archways With this visual, we explore empowerment through self, the discovery of self and others, and the fostering of inclusion and belonging within community. Playing with the idea of uniformity and versatility, the collection carries meaning across both individuality and collective identity. The story offers a glimpse into the architectural backbone of the brand. “Initially, this project began with memories of Broward and Miami. After my father’s transition, I felt a calling toward New York—toward Fort Greene, Brooklyn, and the memories of my childhood there. Those moments helped form the foundation of who I am today and the background of Nicole Zizi Studio.”—Nicole Zizi The idea behind In Remembrance Archways was to begin bringing elements of self into...
Designer Matteo Frontini has reimagined the classic Moka coffee pot with the Turbo Moka, a redesigned version that he claims brews coffee twice as fast as traditional models.
Designer Matteo Frontini has reimagined the classic Moka coffee pot with the Turbo Moka, a redesigned version that he claims brews coffee twice as fast as traditional models. The update introduces a helical spiral base inspired by jet engines, which significantly reduces brewing time. The Turbo Moka aims to modernize the everyday ritual of coffee-making while honoring the iconic stovetop espresso maker originally created in 1933 by Alfonso Bialetti and Luigi De Ponti. Frontini developed the first prototype in 2024, approaching the familiar design through a contemporary lens. The pot’s distinctive spiral base increases surface area by 93 per cent, allowing for greater contact with the flame compared to a conventional Moka pot. As a result, Frontini says the Turbo Moka can brew coffee in half the time while using...
Chef David Rivillo Has Really Incorporated Authentic Elements in Fusing Food with Fashion Roberto Cavalli
Pasta Chef David Rivillo has really incorporated authentic branding elements by fusing food with fashion. That isn't just branding a café au lait or plate—he's using dyeing techniques on pasta, from shells to spaghetti, to create patterns that one could easily imagine on a Roberto Cavalli runway.
LegoGPT: New AI Tool from Carnegie Mellon Turns Text Prompts Into LEGO Models
Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed a groundbreaking AI model called LegoGPT that can transform simple text prompts into fully buildable LEGO designs. This new AI LEGO builder bridges natural language and physical creation, making it possible for users to generate custom LEGO vehicles just by describing them. LegoGPT uses advanced natural language processing and computational geometry to analyze written descriptions and translate them into 3D LEGO-compatible models. For example, typing “a red sports car with oversized wheels” will generate detailed step-by-step instructions for constructing that vehicle out of LEGO bricks. Currently focused on vehicle models, LegoGPT is part of a larger effort by CMU’s computer science department to make generative AI tools more interactive and practical. The project is led by PhD student Ava Pun, who envisions...
