  1. Someone finally built the car that charges itself.

    Just talked to Robert Hoevers, CEO of Squad Mobility, about their solar-powered city car. Panel on the roof. Battery underneath. Park it in the sun, drive it around town—it just keeps charging.

    Live somewhere sunny? You literally never plug in. The average person drives 12km a day for errands. This does 150km max range. The math works.

    5,300 pre-orders. €1.5M in European funding. Production starts next year.
    Street legal. Crash tested.
    Robert put it simply: "It's like a second car."

    Exactly. Not for highway commutes but perfect for the grocery run, city trip, the school drop-off and all those short trips where driving a massive polluting vehicle makes zero sense.

    Sometimes the obvious solution just needed someone to build it.

  2. The K67 kiosk, designed in 1967 by Saša J Mächtig, is a timeless example of modular design. Lightweight, adaptable and easy to transport, it became a newsstand, flower shop or snack bar in cities across Europe. For Domovago it remains proof that flexible design can shape everyday life.

  3. Loving this block of flats in Darmstadt, Germany. Not just for the sloping roof garden, but the whole approach with onion domes and the painted lines and individually designed windows that create a sense of irregularity.

    It's called Waldspirale ("forest spiral") and was designed by an Austrian artist, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, who had a strong dislike for straight lines.
