Sited conceptually between the Calabrian and Sicilian coasts, the pieces reframe the ancient sea monsters Scylla and Charybdis through a mixed-material assembly of hand-modeled glazed ceramic, multi-scale reflective glass, timber substrates, and textile accents. positioned at opposite shores of the Strait of Messina, Scilla & Cariddi evoke the mythical guardians who warned travellers of the dangers of passage | all images ©CameraOff     Tactile textile details contrast ceramic and glass planes   Each mirror, composed by designer Marlisa Marasco, establishes a distinct formal and functional configuration referencing its mythical namesake. Scilla features a crown of six glazed ceramic serpent heads paired with a secondary magnifying mirror that evokes the creature’s eye, alongside an integrated sponge that functions as a pin cushion. Cariddi outlines the gaping mouth of a lamprey, defined by three spiraling ceramic vortices that evoke marine whirlpools while doubling as wall hooks for hanging accessories. The overlapping, offset mirror planes fragment the viewer’s reflection across varying scales, integrating optical shifts directly into the craft-driven wall compositions. worn on the face, Scilla & Cariddi shift from sculptural mirrors to embodiments of the Strait’s mythical creatures Scilla, guardian of the Calabrian coast, evokes the mythological monster through six ceramic serpent heads crowning the mirror and a magnifying mirror recalling its eye Cariddi, guardian of the Sicilian coast, evokes a giant lamprey’s mouth; three ceramic vortices recall the monster swallowing and spewing the Strait’s waters th...

From above, the terracotta-colored home looks almost like a diagram. Its flat roof is punctured by irregular openings, revealing planted gardens and shaded passages within the building’s compact outline. The residence occupies an exposed site in Lia, where its geometric silhouette stands against the dry, rocky hills overlooking the Aegean Sea.   The project has an unusually long history. Architect Iliana Kerestetzi first developed the design in 2011, during the early years of her practice, though it remained unbuilt for more than a decade. When new owners revived the scheme, the architect returned to the original drawings with a different perspective. The central concept remained, while the rooms opened more generously toward the courtyards and the material palette grew warmer. Completed in 2026, the house retains the graphic strength of its original design, with a more fluid layout inside. images © Giorgos Sfakianakis     seven courtyards shape the interior   MOLD Architects’ M residence takes its exterior form from the enclosed architecture of Cycladic monasteries, whose solid walls shelter spaces within. The team combines this reference with the cubic buildings of traditional island settlements and the softer geometry of rural stone structures. The house maintains a strict square perimeter, though inside, curved walls bend around the rooms and connect a sequence of seven courtyards. Each opening introduces a different relationship with the landscape, bringing daylight deep into the plan.   Moving through the house, enclosed rooms give way to pockets of open sky. Some courtyards become small gardens planted with grasses, while others offer shaded places to sit with views toward the Aegean. Broad passages connect these spaces beneath the con... Read more

The company has introduced a MagSafe version of its Flex Pouch, a small, expandable compartment that attaches magnetically to compatible smartphones. It can be pulled off whenever you want, turning an ordinary phone into a tiny, stretchy handbag that’s ready to hold all the little things that tend to disappear into our pockets.   The pouch can accommodate anything from a single credit card to a thick stack of twenty, according to the company. Lip gloss and wireless earbuds can be squeezed inside, along with a handful of loose change. The contents press against the soft silicone, creating a lumpy silhouette that changes depending on what’s packed inside. Empty it out, and the pocket shrinks back down. images courtesy Ninja Labs     memory silicone stretches to twice its original size   The design relies on Ninja Labs’ proprietary silicone blend, which can stretch to twice its original size before returning to its familiar shape. Its naturally grippy surface wraps around the contents, keeping objects in place without a zipper or clasp. The pouch expands outward from the flat surface of the phone, making room for surprisingly bulky objects while leaving them accessible from the top.   The company says the material retained more than 90 percent of its original stretch after 10,000 stretching cycles. The silicone can accommodate objects with irregular shapes, although the company advises against storing ordinary house keys or anything with sharp edges that could puncture the material. A car key fob, on the other hand, fits inside the soft pocket.
