FORME Life Fitness Mirror
While it looks like a sleek, full-length mirror, beyond the reflective surface is a complete personal strength studio. Created by Swiss Designer Yves Béhar and entrepreneur Trent Ward, the FORME Life comes in two modes — a Screen-Only Studio and a Full Studio with resistance pulleys that fold away from sight when not in use. Both versions feature a diverse library of body and mind exercises to suit every individual training style and need. To ensure you get the most out of every workout, machine learning and AI technology track your progress and adjust the intensity or increase weights as your fitness levels improve, while stereoscopic two-way cameras and human-centric computer vision keep your form and technique in check. The device is expected to ship this fall and you can secure your place in line with a pre-order in the meantime.

Snoopy 1969 Sweatshirt
The history of NASA and the Charles Schultz's Peanuts dates back to 1968 when Snoopy was named the aerospace agency's safety mascot — a distinction held to this day through the Silver Snoopy Award program. The connection led to another partnership a year later, when the crew of Apollo 10 chose to nickname their command and lunar modules Charlie Brown and Snoopy. The dress rehearsal for the historic lunar landing was a success and is celebrated 50 years later with this limited-edition sweatshirt. The warm, comfortable shirt features a space-ready Snoopy walking above the year 1969.
