In collaboration with Greek designer Yiannis Ghikas (@yiannisghikas), Venice-based brand @miniformsofficial has created Soda, a collection of 20kg blown-glass coffee tables manufactured on the Italian island of Murano. Creating hand-blown glass pieces of this size required the expertise of Murano artisans, who had to carefully adjust a complex system of burners to keep the same temperature throughout the mould, which is essential to give a hammered feeling to the glass texture of the tables

Tired of Zoom? (And time for cake?) Yo-Yo Machines, developed by @irs_goldsmiths, are DIY devices which enable playful forms of remote communication – from colourful light signals to rhythmic sounds – to connect those separated by the pandemic. The internet-connected devices come in pairs (one for you, one for your far-away friend) and can be built by people at home by following simple instructions to assemble off-the-shelf components. ‘Light Touch’ lets users send slowly fading coloured lights to one another. ‘Knock Knock’ allows you to send tapping sounds. ‘Speed Dial’, meanwhile, is like a mood barometer – a pointer can be moved on one device to indicate your mood from a set of options, and your partner can respond with theirs.

Architecture studio TEN (@ten_studio) has completed the Avala House for a craftsman on Avala mountain near Belgrade in Serbia. Built overlooking an orchard, the house is organised by a metal grid frame, fixed to the terrain using three foundation points. These points define the arrival area on the ground plane, and the positioning of two large concrete forms –like boulders in the landscape – are used for a staircase and a storage space. ‘The house inverts the priority of building a traditional protected shelter in nature, by allowing various scenarios of exposure to nature within the building,’ explain the architects.
