On the one hand, avocado has become a modern-day cultural icon synonymous with hipster cafes and trendy Instagram posts. On the other hand, it has given is name to a serious injury that occurs when a person tries to remove the pit in a dangerous manner, such as with a knife, and ends up cutting themselves. Product designers are working to develop ingenuous tools that enable avocado-on-toast aficionados to peel, mash and preserve an avocado without the risk of “avocado hand.”
The Great Pyramid, located at Giza on the west bank of the Nile River in Egypt, is the only wonder of the ancient world that has survived to the present day. However, the pyramid isn’t just an ancient wonder. This simple but powerful angled shape has managed to survive into modern times, and contemporary architects continue to build pyramids that are no less stunning.

Urban farming and local food supply chains have never been more popular. Sustainable agriculture may sound intimidating to non-farmers, but it is achievable in every household, even urban ones. Although not all homes are built to have gardens, you can run your own mini farm in in whatever space you may be staying in. Indoor farms are believed to be the future of urban farming, their technologies promoted as a solution to the problem caused by climate change and the inefficiencies of the global food production system.

Working from home with pets around has something in common with working at home with kids around. If you work at home, your pet will most likely find itself a spot beside you while keeping a close eye on you while you work. This makes some furniture designers think of ingenuous ways to blend pet furniture that will make your fur baby feel comfortable with a side table that will keep necessary everyday items close at hand infusing style into any room.
The basic purpose of a side table is to keep small things within easy reach, in the living room or by the bed. The design of this furniture piece is often neglected, so we have selected several side tables that offer more than a simple design and are besides are multifunctional.
With sea levels set to rise, the underwater architecture has become a topic of discussion that architects eagerly address. For a long time, the innovations in architecture were limited to attempting new heights, but now several projects have tried to explore the depths of water.
In classical architecture, the term ‘arcade’ refers to a series of arches supported by columns or other vertical elements such as piers. First developed by the Romans, who took inspiration from ancient aqueduct designs, arcades today are used to form a passageway between arches and a solid wall, or a covered walkway providing access to commercial buildings or markets.
Summer is in its full swing, so we selected an array of beautifully designed bespoke parasols that go beyond sunshading – those will be suitable for those who would like to get some tan or fully block the direct sunlight.
