Shigeru Ban proposes a temporary Notre-Dame

July 10 2019

Only a few hours had passed since the terrible accident last June which devastated the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris. Against a backdrop of still-smoking rubble, French President Emanuel Macron launched a call for the world's best talent to provide ideas on reconstruction. Just a few days later the Japanese architect and designer Shigeru Ban presented his proposal for a temporary structure in front of the cathedral to welcome tourists, faithful and religious events. In the intentions of the starchitect (to be clear, even if I hate ... Read more

April 6 2017

As of 31 December 2016, a total of 45,2 million mobile telephone devices were active in Italy, with old "mobile phones" numbering around 12 million, down by 6% per year. This means, therefore, that there are more than 33 million Italians who use smartphones, whose penetration rate rose to 73 percent of the population last year. Not just phone calls It seems obvious to write it, but today the smartphone is successful because it allows you to carry out ... Read more

Amazon Go opens: no speakers or queues

December 7 2016

Some time ago, there was talk of possible bookshops or shops opened by Amazon, at least in America: today that dream has become reality. The first #Amazon Go opened in Seattle for an experiment, a #supermarket where you enter with your cell phone and leave without paying. Or rather, thanks to Amazon's sophisticated technology, everything we take and take away will then automatically be charged to our credit card. Without queuing, queuing or taking out a thousand coins. I… Read more

Ikea manufactures the first mountable bicycle

April 17 2016

It's called Sladda and it will be the first mountable bicycle put on sale by Ikea. The bike of the future, as it has already been defined, will arrive in stores in August and, like all Ikea furniture, will need to be assembled.

Sladda is created in collaboration with the Veryday design studio, and will be available in a single color, in two different sizes and can be customized and accessorized. “Sladda is… Read more

5 trends in the future of packaging

November 1, 2013

The concept of 'packaging' has been the cross and delight of all industrial development: on the one hand it has guaranteed better, faster and more widespread distribution and preservation of food, on the other it has contributed to forming a generation (more than one for truth) “disposable” accustomed to not reusing anything and using things quickly and hastily. In any case, the virtue lies in the middle: we need packages and containers, we will need them more and more. Here you are … Read more

Christmas in times of crisis: technology and convenience

22 September 2022December 1 2012

The crisis is raging in Europe, and 'intelligent' purchases are gradually becoming prudent: even during the Christmas holidays, gifts will be given in the name of the best possible relationship between quality and price. It is not easy to navigate the thousands of offers that populate the shops and the internet: some good price comparison services can help us, and in this short note I want to talk to you about redcoon.it. It is a relatively new site on the scene, however founded by a group with ... Read more

Because politics will do without politicians.

November 14, 2013December 3 2011

In difficult times like these, popular demands persist: in the last 3 and a half years the only positive developments for our country have come from referendums. To the ever greater surprise of politicians and scholars of social flows, political protest movements are organizing themselves and are preparing to be, thanks to the Internet, increasingly structured and 'intelligent'. A typical and important phenomenon in the structure of increasingly present popular movements (from peaceful protest ones to 'revolutionary' ones... Read more

Jobs of the near future: 26 jobs of tomorrow

November 5, 2022November 14, 2011

In the days that mark the fall of the Berlusconi government and the Italian economic crisis (remember? we predicted it on the old site) I am as disheartened as all of you. The moment is difficult: we can only get out of it if all levels of our country change by looking to the future more than to the past. Some jobs will still survive in the future, let's be clear: but there is a whole series of jobs that don't exist today and which could be useful in the near future. Let's go with common sense: 60%...

Bodymetrics launches Body Mapping: a scanner will dress us.

July 10 2013July 4 2011

London-based company Bodymetrics has joined forces with PrimeSense to develop a 3D scanner capable of 'mapping' a human body to give it instant advice on the fit of a suit: this "Body Mapping" platform uses special sensors to take measurements of a user and create an exact replica. The system then connects to a database of manufacturers to 'apply' to the scanned body the clothes that best suit (in terms of design and size) the body of the ... Read more
