As is clearly evidenced by its complex stitching and folding, the Bufa Chair by MOWOstudio is one inspired by tailored attire. This polyester felt and stainless steel chair is a welcome entrant into the world of modern furniture, a genre where most may argue that “it’s all been done before”. The Bufa Chair, however, is truly the first of its kind, with carefully folded felt sides threaded together with a loose-hanging rope....

There’s an unpleasant, underlying reality to next-gen consoles: Microsoft and Sony haven’t done anything particularly new or revolutionary with their systems. Don’t get me wrong – both consoles are veritable powerhouses, packed with more bells and whistles than I could possibly recount here. The problem is that, save for a few small innovations here and there, none of them area really worth caring about from a gaming perspective. Given the weak launch library of the two systems....

Factory 5 selected an old, double-height industrial warehouse to serve as its next home. It provided enough space to feature a second story mezzanine for a private office that overlooked the store below. It offers a bit of everything — the private office, a service area, bike retail racks, aisles of components, a clothing section, a communal table and a bar. In short, it’s got everything but a velodrome. Linehouse Architecture designed this space to speak to the identity of the urban cyclist....

Men’s Wallets Designers of women’s accessories are often as tone-deaf to the needs of the average woman as they are to what is fashionable. Women can expect inflated prices, poor functionality, excessive size, and needless nonsense that designers think are “feminine” but are actually useless when they shop for a wallet. The answer to this for many women is to stop trying and seek out gender neutral minimalist wallets or slim wallets that work with the smaller pockets that idiotic fashion designers sew into women’s clothes....

Büsser and friends have worked to revolutionize the world of luxury watch craft by exploring out-of-this world designs and precision execution....

These sweet Grenade Ornaments by Suck UK will ensure that your next Christmas is a blast, pun very much intended. While we’ve long been fans of dangerous design (in symbolism, not in actuality), these grenade ornaments are more than a conversation piece, they’ve been designed as a charity item for holiday decoration shoppers. Each purchase will send a donation to the CTRL.ALT.SHIFT charity for social and global justice. Good nature aside, we love these little chromed-out grenade ornaments, and we think they’d stand out brilliantly on our own x-mas tree....

In fact, many studies have confirmed that people with high emotional intelligence enjoy more career success and have a competitive advantage over those with lower EQ.

The book was on The New York Times bestseller list for a year-and-a-half, with more than 5,000,000 copies in print worldwide. The Harvard Business Review called Goleman’s work on emotional intelligence “a revolutionary, paradigm-shattering idea....

But in the messy world of adulthood, good friends are hard to come by. It’s no secret that as we grow older, our obligations change. We begin to focus on long-term goals, like buying a house or starting a family....
