Wireless Headphones

Wednesday, 2 September 2026

Oppo Enco Q1

Oppo Enco Q1 is a pair of wireless neckband headphones with active noise cancelling. The neckband has a unibody form with a seamless surface, so no seams touch the skin. Less dirt is trapped during long use, and cleaning stays easy. The neckband is over-molded thermoplastic polyurethane with a built-in memory titanium alloy thread, so the shape is retained after bending and twisting. The earbuds have double injection-molded silicone ear tips that seal out noise. All controls sit on one side, and three buttons allow single-handed operation.

Puzzle Toy

Tuesday, 1 September 2026

MoFU

MoFU are transforming toys that are also brainteaser puzzles. Starting as identically shaped cuboids that slide out of boxes on drawers, each MoFU unfolds into a different kind of animal - pig, monkey, tiger, hippo, and giraffe. Each animal is its own character with cute and iconic features, but each is also a distinct puzzle. Folding a MoFU back into the correct cuboid shape so it can perfectly fit back into its box is a brainteasing challenge.

Nanosensors Inside Plants

Saturday, 29 August 2026

Argus

Argus is a water quality monitoring system based on a living plant. Nanosensors are injected into the leaves, where they remain within the intercellular space. The sensors produce a visible glow of a specific light wavelength. When lead from the surrounding water reaches the leaves, the glow is reduced, indicating that the water contains impurities. The plant samples water continuously and needs no electricity. A result appears within fifteen minutes to two hours, which is faster than laboratory testing.

Acoustic Piano

Friday, 28 August 2026

Una Corda

Una Corda is an acoustic piano built without a furniture case. The open design allows the sound to travel freely to the listener. The instrument has one string per note, a stainless steel frame and a double-layer soundboard. The stainless steel frame keeps the piano light, unlike the cast iron frames used in traditional pianos. The resulting tone is soft and clear. Una Corda is played like a traditional piano, and the visible mechanical parts show how each note is produced. The piano is hand-crafted and no chemicals are used.
