This Desk Only Needs Two Legs

When you think about it, a two legged desk makes sense. Most of us cram our home workspace up against a wall or into a corner anyways, so why even bother with two legs that are rather redundant? If you can curb your paranoia of your desk coming off the wall and crashing down onto…

But as a material for modern architecture, it’s not so much the first thing that comes to mind, not to mention implemented in designs.

Fuji Xerox Has Made a Color E-Paper That Doesn’t Need a Filter

There’s good news for those hoping for a future with bright rainbow-hued e-ink screens—Fuji Xerox has developed a color e-paper that doesn’t need a color filter.
