Just found the ideal side table to casually leave my perfectly aligned set of two coffee mugs and vintage magazines. www.standardequipment.ca/product/3075...
A minimalist gray cubic side table or storage unit with two small white cups on top and a small white incense holder. The cube has an open front with a shelf containing a magazine and a small book. The design features clean lines and a modern aesthetic with visible connection points at the corners.A row of five modular cube storage units in different colors: gray, white, orange, yellow, and blue. Each cube has the same minimalist design with open fronts and a shelf inside. The cubes are made of metal with visible edge detailing, showcasing a cohesive contemporary furniture collection.

Not really sure what happened in yesterday's episode of Severance, I was mostly focused on the Dieter Rams furniture.

New Thermomix! Noise and UI responsiveness were the biggest issues, so that looks promising. A bit sad they got rid of the physical dial. I’m going to wait for other colors, this one is too sci-fi. www.vorwerk.com/gb/en/thermo...

Fascinating read on how to design physical controls for cars. They're safer than touchscreens, more satisfying when done well, and budget brands already use them. Time to bring dials back!

As tax season approaches, a reminder that TurboTax comes with dark patterns and decades of lobbying against free tax filing. Consider alternatives like FreeTaxUSA instead.

Tesla sales plunged 63% in France in January. French people protest a lot, and usually for good reason.

I’d pay for a @figma.com feature that lets me refine a microcopy with AI, based on my app’s tone of voice, and good copywriting guidelines.

This icon weight mismatch in the new Gmail iOS app stresses me out a bit 😅

Seems like Garmin doesn’t test updates before deploying them to users. Also, a blue triangle, really? What about some guidance on how to fix the crash instead?

I thought Porsche started the full-width taillight trend (die Heckblende in German) with the 911 in the 70's. Turns out Dodge already had them in 1966.

I could totally see a follow-up to the Ioniq 5 that would maintain the square headlights and overall shape while dropping the details that already feel dated.

Love the mix of usability and minimal aesthetic in this German coffee machine. The right way to make an interface without a touchscreen: satisfying physical dial, simple navigation, colorful icons.

One thing is clear after the Meta announcements: big tech's commitment to social justice only lasted as long as the PR benefits outweighed the political costs.

This infotainment UI for a French car gives me peak pre-iPhone vibes. If your goal is visual noise, the Christmas wrapping paper background is perfect – less so when you need to use the buttons while driving.
The infotainment UI for an upcoming French sedan (DS). The background wallpaper uses patterns that make the already crowded layout even harder to read.

Sharing crash data for your dangerously unproven technology running on public roads shouldn't be optional. Just stop giving money to this guy.

Exclusive: Trump transition wants to scrap crash reporting requirement opposed by Tesla
The Trump transition team wants the incoming administration to drop a car-crash reporting requirement opposed by Elon Musk’s Tesla , according to a document seen by Reuters, a move that could cripple the government’s ability to investigate and regulate the safety of vehicles with automated-driving systems.

I often think about Ratatouille 🐀 This movie has everything: an unlikely prodigy, a reflection on art and critics, childhood nostalgia, the joy of cooking, and the importance of food safety standards.

Been using Claude for a few weeks and its splitscreen UI with live preview is brilliant. Finally a chatbot that feels like an actual collaborating experience.

The ultimate argument: “A squircular plate, for instance, can hold more food than a circular one of the same horizontal dimensions, but eliminates the sharp edges of an otherwise optimal square.”

Circling the Square: Designing with "Squircles" Instead of Rounded Rectangles - 99% Invisible
To a casual observer, the difference between a squircle and a rounded square can appear negligible and sound semantic. But Mark Stanton, a product and industrial designer, is attuned to the squircular...

Screenshot quoting the article: “That the company ultimately profiting from the sale is one of the largest retailers in the world makes the whole enterprise a bit off-putting — an empire built on fast, largely low-quality products that look great in photos but come from faceless companies that manufacture mountains of crap, much of which will eventually end up in a landfill.”

The Mac OS Control Panel by Susan Kare is such a remarkable UI. It was designed in 1984 without any text labels and fits in only 315x158 pixels.

I’m not an expert, but putting someone who thinks Russian media freedom is similar to ours in charge of national intelligence seems like a bad idea.

Hi #designsky 👋 I’m a French product designer living in NYC. I’ve worked at Apple, Sunrise (Calendar), and Microsoft, and now I’m leading design at height.app. I like pasta, croissants, design details, EVs, and living in a democracy where big corporations are regulated.
