Pretty and Pacified in Baker Miller Pink

This pink hoodie can calm you down and even save your life. It's true.

Combining the science of color and physiology with wearable technology the creators of the Vollebak Baker Miller Pink hoodie have designed a garment that can help elite athletes and explorers not only stay at their best mental state. The hoodie may indeed keep you warm but it will also chill you out. Best of all, its not just 'pretty in pink', the jacket is insulated, water repellent, and wind resistant so serves as a great high-performance mid layer as well.

Contemporary Cast

The most recent development in 3D printing might offers both form and function. The Cortex Cast by New Zealand artist and designer Jake Evill evolved the cast to be visually interesting and multifunctional from the health perspective by addressing issues such as protection, weight, and hygiene. Add to all that, it's recyclable.

Bold Bench

Launched in 2006 by designer Derek Chan, the award-winning design firm, Council, has become one of the repeat favorites at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York. Council's innovative designs may get them awards but their commitment to sustainable materials and processes gets first in show among the sustainable style set. The Section bench pictured above is just one among many designs that offer forward-thinking function.

Fab Facets - Futuristic Flask

OK, there may be too many F words in the title but this little hipflask by London-based product designer Tom Cecil is pretty fantastic. Each flask is hand made and stamped with its own design and serial number. You can even get your initials stamped in. The flask holds 50ml (1.6oz - a healthy shot). Cheers!
