Nintendo Flex Concept

The retro-nostalgia markets for the NES and SNES are well served, both by Nintendo's own Classic releases and Analogue's upgraded models. Which leaves the Game Boy as the most obvious platform in need of a redo. This Nintendo Flex Concept from YJ Yoon is one vision of how that could be done. Its body reinterprets the classic handheld's shape with a more pronounced right corner cutaway, streamlined controls that sit flush with the body, and a slight curve that improves immersion. Instead of cartridges, games would be accessed via a USB-C-based pen that clicks into place on the top, just over from the relocated speaker that sits closer to your ear and thankfully away from your right palm.

OneLogFire Personal Campfire

Compact, portable, and easy to light, the OneLogFire lets you enjoy the ambiance of a campfire on a smaller scale. The quick-start log is inspired by traditional Swedish torches and is made from kiln-dried Red Pine that burns from the inside out. It's cut to provide a continuous two-hour burn and has a handle for easy transporting to beaches, campsites, and backyard gatherings. Sold in packs of six, each log is carefully handmade in Minnesota.

Herman Miller Nelson Platform Bench

Created by architect-turned-Fortune writer-turned designer George Nelson in 1947, Herman Miller's Nelson Platform Bench is both an icon of mid-century design and a remarkably versatile piece of furniture. It's made with sturdy U-shaped ebonized wood legs and a top of solid Walnut slats that are sorted into aesthetically pleasing combinations, assembled by hand, settling neatly into lap joints, and given a clear-coat finish. The resulting platform can work as a seat, a table, or, as seen in Herman Miller publications from the period, serve as a base platform for bookshelves, plants, record players, and more.
