An art object speaker, mobile photography tools, and visual engineering courses
Projects We Love Teno: Sound in a New Light This week is jam-packed with big releases. The team behind the book-like lamp Lumio returns with a beautiful illuminated sculpture speaker, Peak Design’s tenth campaign offers smartphone photography tools, and The Garage Learning gives you inside tips on how a top studio gets gravity-defying product shots. By Max Gunawan A delightful design object that’s built for a lifetime of use, Teno looks like a crafted bowl sculpture—until you crack it open. Then it comes to life, revealing soft, warm light that you can adjust with a simple tap. Fully opened, it's a powerful speaker with touch controls. View project By Peak Design Peak Design has already launched nine successful campaigns putting unparalleled photography gear in the hands of intrepid adventurers. Now, they’re releasing something for everyone: mobile phone accessories to upgrade casual photographers’ toolkits. View project By The Garage Learning What’s visual engineering, you ask? Well you’ve probably seen lots of it in the TV commercials Steve Giralt creates with his production company The Garage. It’s what he does to make videos that artfully drop burgers from the sky, explode all types of types of food midair, and get slow motion to look so natural. Now, he’s running a Kickstarter campaign for a series of workshops, tutorials, and kits that will teach you how to do it, too.
