If I had my own house and if I lived somewhere where it’s conducive to do so, my dream is to have a backyard or a patio where I could work, relax, or hang out with family and friends. Alas, I live in a city where condominium living is the most convenient and it’s too hot and humid to have an outdoor setting. But that doesn’t stop me from dreaming to have this someday, probably somewhere else. And of course having well-designed and beautiful outdoor furniture will be a key to this dream.

Designer: Tom Dixon

British designer Tom Dixon has created their first collection of outdoor furniture called Groove. It is made up of chairs, armchairs, stools, and dining tables, all well crafted and created to make your backyard and patio look cool and comfortable. The way it’s designed, you can also use it indoor if you want but it is able to shine best when placed outdoors since that’s how it was envisioned by the designer.

The items in the collection have raised ridges as well as curved line patterns with circular and oval grooves. The furniture also has angled tubular elements so it becomes more organic. It is created with cutting-edge manufacturing techniques through collaborations with companies that focus on high-tech aluminum production. They used corrosion-resistant aluminum with powder-coated finish so they can last for a long time and can also weather elements like rain and sunshine. The sunlight also plays well with the raised ridge design so the furniture looks better outdoors.

The Groove collection is available in two colors: Moss (with a greenish tint) and Putty (with its ecru-ish color). It can be used indoors as well and it comes with cushions so you would feel more comfortable. And if they’re not in use, it’s easy to stack since it is lightweight and portable. The design is pretty minimalist but with flair so it can fit in with most aesthetic tastes (unless you prefer brighter colors and more bold designs).

Chunky carabiner is actually a petite power bank for your outdoor adventures https://www.yankodesign.com/2025/01/30/chunky-carabiner-is-actually-a-petite-power-bank-for-your-outdoor-adventures/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=chunky-carabiner-is-actually-a-petite-power-bank-for-your-outdoor-adventures Thu, 30 Jan 2025 09:45:00 +0000 https://www.yankodesign.com/?p=531878

You might have noticed that most gear for outdoor use, such as backpacks and vests, have plenty of hooks, latches, and straps. These are designed to allow you to have a few critical objects outside and within reach at a moment’s notice. And what could be more critical these days than a power bank that’s always ready to juice up your phone for outdoor emergencies or dramatic selfies?

Not all power banks come with carrying straps, even the smaller ones. And even if you could hook them into some of these loops and eyes, that would mean they’d be dangling and swaying back and forth precariously. This simple design solves that problem by combining two designs in one, resulting in a multi-purpose accessory that could be of great use even if you’re not the type to always go on outdoor adventures.

Designer: Nestout

Is it a carabiner with an attached power bank or a power bank with a built-in carabiner? Look at it from whichever angle you want, it will still be the same rugged accessory that clings to you in every trip and journey. Clip it anywhere you want, whether on a bag strap or on a jacket loop and you’re ready to answer the call of adventure, confident that your phone won’t die out on you until you get to your next pit stop.

The 5,000mAh battery inside is probably enough to give most phones another life, or at least even half if you’re using it while charging. Thanks to that small capacity, it’s also easy to charge so you don’t have to waste daylight waiting for it to be ready for another trek. It’s also IP44-rated, so there’s at least some protection against light rain and dust. It makes no qualms about its rugged appearance since it’s designed to be used in equally rugged situations.

That said, there’s nothing preventing you from using this Carabiner Battery anywhere else, at least if you don’t mind carrying around what definitely looks like an outdoor tool. It even has features you’ll probably want regardless of your location, like a built-in phone stand that can hold some phones upright, depending on their sizes.

One thing that would have made this design even better is if it had a built-in USB-C cable. It does have a separate clip to act as a way to hold a short charging cable in place, but it’s still a separate thing you need to be careful not to lose along your way. Retractable cables seem to be a rising trend in chargers and power banks today, but even a simple, short strip could go a long way in making the Carabiner Battery a self-sufficient accessory designed for the great outdoors.

Outdoor sauna made from second-hand materials lets you truly relax with nature https://www.yankodesign.com/2025/01/29/outdoor-sauna-made-from-second-hand-materials-lets-you-truly-relax-with-nature/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=outdoor-sauna-made-from-second-hand-materials-lets-you-truly-relax-with-nature Wed, 29 Jan 2025 15:20:04 +0000 https://www.yankodesign.com/?p=531692

]]>

It’s definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, but many find the heat of a sauna actually relaxing. Most of these establishments are now found inside modern buildings, but a few try to offer a more rustic and nature-inspired experience with an outdoor sauna. Unsurprisingly, most of these are designed like small wooden cabins to blend with their surroundings and evoke that sense of a nature escape.

What better way to connect with nature, however, than to build such a freestanding room in a way that doesn’t hurt Mother Nature? At least not as much as a regular building would. Although a “green” sauna might not have been the original motivation for this “Upcycled sauna,” it still has the same effect of giving you peace of mind and body as you relieve your stress inside a box made from people’s trash or leftovers.

Designer: Tomáš Dvořák, Lenka Bažík (ika architects)

Plenty of materials don’t make the cut in the process of making new products. Some materials are also simply discarded when they’ve reached the end of their use. While it might be impossible to reuse them in the exact same product, unless they undergo some form of recycling, they could serve a new purpose in some other product that’s completely unrelated to their original design.

Wooden sleepers and pallets, for example, would become the foundation and structure of a cubical room that would eventually become this sustainable outdoor sauna. Sheep wool that would simply be thrown away is transformed into insulation that would keep the heat from escaping through the walls. Corrugate fiberglass laid out on a grid and layered like scales become the distinctive exterior of this sauna. Admittedly, it doesn’t look like a work of art, but its true value lies not in what it has become but in what it has been.

The materials were sourced from construction sites, locals, friends, and other people, giving what would become trash a new lease on life. Even more interesting is that, once you know how the sauna was made, you begin to wonder what story each piece has to tell. It gives the room an almost spiritual or at least social vibe, connecting you not just to the Earth but to people and places as well.

To top it all off, there’s a cooling pool outside, though it looks more like a tub for a single person. It’s made from an old discarded mining cart that’s painted gold, perhaps giving emphasis to the saying that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

The Ford Explorer 4×4 Concept combines the Practicality of a Pickup with the Thrill of an SUV https://www.yankodesign.com/2025/01/24/the-ford-explorer-4x4-concept-combines-the-practicality-of-a-pickup-with-the-thrill-of-an-suv/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-ford-explorer-4x4-concept-combines-the-practicality-of-a-pickup-with-the-thrill-of-an-suv Sat, 25 Jan 2025 01:30:00 +0000 https://www.yankodesign.com/?p=530100

]]>

Pickups and SUVs often sit on opposite sides of the automotive spectrum, but the Ford Explorer Pickup concept sees no reason they can’t coexist. Don’t mistake this for a traditional truck with some SUV flavor tossed in; it’s a well-balanced hybrid built for people who want the functionality of a rugged workhorse without losing the versatility or comfort of a modern SUV. By merging the off-road capability of a 4×4 with the iconic refinement of the Explorer SUV, this concept carves out its own niche, appealing to adventurers and everyday drivers alike.

The Explorer Pickup takes practicality seriously, from lightweight materials that enhance efficiency to a modular cargo bed that adapts to your needs. But it doesn’t stop there—electric powertrain options, cutting-edge drivetrain technology, and an interior that feels surprisingly sophisticated suggest that this truck is built with the future in mind.

Designer: Yisong Jiang

The Ford Explorer Pickup stands out with a design that balances rugged utility and modern aesthetics. It captures the sturdy silhouette of a traditional pickup but refines it with the sleek lines and proportions of an SUV. The front fascia feels assertive without being overdone, while the angular bodywork gives it a purposeful edge. Its design feels approachable yet ready for tough terrain, signaling a truck made to handle both daily commutes and off-road challenges.

Materials play a crucial role in how this vehicle performs. Advanced composites, carbon fiber, and aluminum alloys make up its structure, reducing weight without compromising strength. This smart use of materials enhances agility, fuel efficiency, and overall durability. Whether tackling trails or navigating urban streets, this lightweight construction ensures a responsive and capable ride. Every material choice feels intentional, aimed at creating a truck that’s as tough as it is efficient.

The cargo bed on the Ford Explorer Pickup is designed with versatility in mind. Its modular format allows users to adapt the space for a variety of needs, whether it’s hauling camping gear, tools, or sports equipment. Removable panels make it easy to customize the layout, while adjustable tie-down points keep everything secure during transit. Built-in storage compartments add even more functionality, offering a practical solution for keeping essentials organized and within reach.

Adding to its adventurous edge, the Ford Explorer Pickup integrates a drone system to expand its capabilities. This feature feels like a natural extension of the truck’s purpose, offering a way to scout terrain ahead, capture stunning aerial footage, or assist in emergency scenarios. Designed to complement the vehicle’s off-road nature, the quadcopter created in partnership with Nike, operates seamlessly with onboard systems, giving drivers a new layer of exploration and practicality in remote environments.

Electric powertrain options feel less like a gimmick here and more like a logical evolution. With instant torque and high-capacity batteries, this vehicle is geared for those who want their off-road adventures without a side of guilt. Fast-charging tech and a long range show that the designers have thought about practicality, not just sustainability.

Step inside, and the surprises keep coming. The cabin feels less like a truck and more like a modern living room on wheels. Premium materials, user-friendly tech, and thoughtful design choices make it a place you’d actually want to spend time in. It’s rugged where it needs to be and refined everywhere else.

This concept feels like a response to what drivers want right now—and what they’ll need tomorrow. It’s not just about building a tougher, more versatile vehicle; it’s about imagining how people use their vehicles in real life. Whether you’re a weekend warrior hitting the trails or someone navigating the urban jungle, this truck feels like it belongs in your driveway.

Sometimes, vehicles like this get stuck in the “concept” phase, but this one feels different. With a mix of practicality and ambition, the Ford Explorer Pickup stands as a reminder that good design isn’t just about form or function. It’s about understanding people and creating something that truly fits into their lives. And if this project ever makes it to production, it might just set a new benchmark for what a modern adventure vehicle can be.

Lunar Orbiter Tent Offers Quick Setup and Freestanding Stability to Solo Backpackers https://www.yankodesign.com/2025/01/19/lunar-orbiter-tent-offers-quick-setup-and-freestanding-stability-to-solo-backpackers/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=lunar-orbiter-tent-offers-quick-setup-and-freestanding-stability-to-solo-backpackers Sun, 19 Jan 2025 21:45:06 +0000 https://www.yankodesign.com/?p=529680

Most of the traditional backpacking tents need some help to pitch or take considerable time if you are pitching it solo. This could spell trouble for backpackers who like to travel alone in territories unknown. If you are spending quite a chunk of your backcountry excursions erecting a tent, you are risking exposure to elements and wildlife. Not to mention the headache of the traditional tent’s weight. On the flip side, you lose out on comfort if you go for the lightweight options.

Hitting the sweet spot between the two, the all-new Lunar Orbiter tent manages to merge comfort and convenience with a lightweight construction for solo campers. The ultra-light tent from Six Moon Designs forgoes traditional internal poles in favor of a wide exterior pole configuration that offers freestanding stability and fast pitching capability.

Designer: Six Moon Designs

The easy-pitch alternative of the Lunar Orbiter features a crisscross four-corner frame made of DAC Featherlite aluminum poles. The tent sets up quickly with hovering top sleeves, cross hub clips, and corner pockets. Its external pole design ensures that the walls are stretched outward, increasing the interior space.

According to the outdoor gear company, the frame can withstand storm-worthy winds, rain, and snow, making Lunar Orbiter a perfect all-season companion in the backcountry. The tent has a hybrid single/double-wall design with plenty of mesh lining and a roll-back waterproof outer layer on the doors to provide ventilation and weather protection.

Since it is designed for solo travelers, the tent offers 90 x 44 inches of sleeping area, enough for a grown man and his gear. The 48-inch high ceiling helps create an open feel inside the one-person tent. Additionally, there is a removable interior gear loft and two storage pockets, so you can keep your things safe and nearby without compromising valuable floor space. The dual vestibules further enhance its functionality.

The only downside is that the tent weighs 2.8 lbs, which isn’t the most lightweight option on the market, which comes well near or under 2 lbs. However, if you are fine ignoring a little extra weight, this could be a good addition to your outdoor gear. The Lunar Orbiter is currently retailing at $435 and is an option that very well overshadows your conventional tent.

This Impressive 15-in-1 Titanium Multitool Has More Tools and Features Than You’ll Ever Need https://www.yankodesign.com/2025/01/17/this-impressive-15-in-1-titanium-multitool-has-more-tools-and-features-than-youll-ever-need/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=this-impressive-15-in-1-titanium-multitool-has-more-tools-and-features-than-youll-ever-need Sat, 18 Jan 2025 02:45:14 +0000 https://www.yankodesign.com/?p=529726

This Impressive 15-in-1 Titanium Multitool Has More Tools and Features Than You’ll Ever Need

Sometimes, the most incredible things come in small packages. That’s definitely the case with the TriPro Stand, a sleek multitool that packs 15 functions into something no bigger than your finger. It’s like having a tiny toolbox clipped to your keychain—only this one’s made from titanium, weighs a mere 56 grams, and looks good doing it. Let’s just say this little guy punches well above its weight.

Multitools aren’t exactly a new concept. But the TriPro Stand feels different, like someone finally stopped to ask: What do people actually want to carry every day? The result is a thoughtfully designed gadget that solves real problems without overloading you with unnecessary frills. From a phone stand to a screwdriver, SIM ejector, knife, knife-sharpener, pry-bar, window-breaker, (and many more), everything about it feels practical. Not flashy, not excessive—just right.

Designer: AlloyX

Barely the size of an old-school USB thumb drive, the TriPro Stand is a clever little tool that combines great design with great features. The great design part lies in just how much it packs in such a small form factor, all owing to its machined titanium body. The sheer durability of titanium over other metals like steel or aluminum mean tiny details can take on immense amounts of physical stress, so a spoke wrench can be just a few millimeters wide and work flawlessly without breaking or warping. On the feature front, having as many as 15 tools in one design makes the TriPro Stand a must-have for pretty much all the problems life throws at you.

Take the phone stand feature, for example. It’s not some flimsy gimmick slapped on as an afterthought. The stand uses its detachable panels to hold your phone at a comfortable 45-degree angle, in portrait or landscape mode. Video calls, Netflix binges, even recipe-following in the kitchen—it handles it all without fuss. And when you’re done, it folds back into its compact form, ready to disappear into a pocket or attach to your keyring.

But that’s just the start of what this multitool can do. If you’ve ever needed a screwdriver on the fly, you’ll appreciate the bit driver system. It’s got both 1/4-inch and 1/6-inch options, with onboard storage for three bits so you’re always prepared. Loose screw on a chair? Easy. Quick bike adjustment? No problem. A tiny hatch holds as many as 3 bits that you can pop out and snap onto multiple docking areas on the TriPro Stand (for better torque/grip or reach), and built-in magnets hold the bits in place whether they’re docked or stashed away, so a lost hex bit is never a problem.

What I personally love about the TriPro Stand is also its ability to foresee needs that you usually wouldn’t. Now hey, I don’t normally need a SIM ejector on the fly, but whenever I’ve needed one, I’ve always had to dig right into my gadget cupboard for an old smartphone box and search for a SIM ejector inside. With the TriPro Stand, you get a SIM ejector snapped right onto the tool. A magnet holds it in place in its recessed cabin so it doesn’t accidentally fall out. When you ever need a SIM ejector, pop it out. When you’re done, it goes right back in. Neat, huh?

The outdoor crowd gets a nod too. With a pry bar, nail puller, and even a portable knife sharpener, it’s clear the TriPro Stand isn’t just for desk-dwellers. The folding scalpel, in particular, is a standout feature. Lightweight and easy to handle, it’s perfect for precision tasks like opening packages or quick crafting projects. Plus, the blades are replaceable, and the mechanism makes switching them out a breeze.

The spoke wrench is a familiar feature to anyone who rides bicycles. It helps tighten or loosen the spokes on your wheels to ensure a smooth ride, and complements the TriPro Stand’s screwdriver feature well. Finally, a tungsten-tip glass-breaker gives the TriPro Stand its ‘last-but-not-least’ feature. Any multitool should serve flawlessly in an emergency, and what’s more urgent than needing to save your life? Simply hold the TriPro Stand firmly in your grip and strike the window-breaker tip onto any kind of glass (even hardened ones) and the glass instantly shatters. Pair this with the scalpel knife that should easily cut through a seatbelt and you have the perfect emergency escape tool right in your pocket.

The TriPro Stand is a marvel of compact engineering, measuring just 8 cm (3.1 inches) in length and tipping the scales at a featherweight 56 grams (1.9 ounces). Crafted from titanium alloy, it boasts exceptional strength and resistance to corrosion while remaining light enough to carry effortlessly. A keychain loop means the multitool can be strung to a lanyard or keyring, although its compact design easily makes it pocket-friendly. Tritium slots let you dock glow-vials so you can spot your EDC in the dark too, and ditch the removable scalpel blade and the entire thing becomes TSA-friendly and flight-legal.

The TriPro Stand is currently raising funds on Kickstarter, with prices starting at $69 for early backers. Each unit comes with five replacement blades, a SIM card ejector, and three screwdriver bits. Shipping is included, and the estimated delivery date is May 2025. For something this feature-packed, that price feels more than reasonable—especially considering the fact that with even moderate use, this titanium multitool should easily last you a lifetime and then some more!

Public spaces are the heartbeat of urban life, offering citizens a shared environment for cultural, recreational, and formal activities. However, the durability and functionality of public facilities often fall short of constant use. Addressing this gap, Form&Foam emerges as a revolutionary product that reimagines public seating with innovative design and material.

Designer: BKID co

Form&Foam offers a dynamic seating solution tailored to diverse public needs. Designed with Expanded Polypropylene (EPP), the chairs boast an impressive combination of softness, shock resistance, and lightweight construction. This unique material makes them not only highly durable but also remarkably easy to transport and rearrange.

The flexibility of these chairs shines in their adaptability to different public events. For instance:

“Sit” Chair:

Encourages an upright posture, making it ideal for formal events such as conferences or civic meetings.

“Lean” Chair:

Supports a relaxed posture, perfect for casual concerts or open-air gatherings.
This adaptability ensures that Form&Foam enhances the comfort and experience of users across a wide spectrum of public activities.

One of the standout features of Form&Foam is its user-friendly design. A hollow space at the back of each chair, coupled with a debossed grip area, provides excellent ergonomics for moving the chairs effortlessly. Whether setting up for a bustling city event or reorganizing an indoor space, this design feature ensures practicality and ease of use.

However, one area where the design could be further refined is its transport convenience. While lightweight and portable, Form&Foam could benefit from a stackable form, allowing multiple chairs to be efficiently stored and transported in bulk. This enhancement would elevate its usability, particularly for large-scale events requiring quick setup and teardown.

Initially proposed in five vibrant colors, Form&Foam offers ample room for customization. Its EPP material can be dyed in a variety of shades, allowing it to seamlessly integrate with the aesthetics of different environments. This feature makes the product not only functional but also visually appealing, enhancing the ambiance of public spaces.

By leveraging EPP, a recyclable and long-lasting material, Form&Foam aligns with eco-conscious design principles. Its durability reduces the need for frequent replacements, minimizing waste and promoting a sustainable approach to public facility design.

Form&Foam is broadly about creating public spaces that are more inclusive, comfortable, and versatile. Its innovative design caters to the behavioral nuances of citizens while addressing the challenges of maintenance and durability. While the absence of a stackable feature presents a missed opportunity, its other strengths – functionality, style, and sustainability set a high benchmark for public seating solutions.

I don’t have any specific statistics but there’s probably a certain number of accidents that have happened near campfires when pieces of clothing have caught on fire. Campers may have fallen asleep near the campfire and they end up burning their clothes or even some parts of their bodies because most of what they’re wearing are probably not fire proof or resistant.

Unfortunately, many campers are unaware that their apparel is not fire-resistant, leading to potential accidents. Snow Peak offers an innovative solution with their Fire Resistant Insulated Poncho, designed to address these concerns effectively. The Fire Resistant Insulated Poncho is specifically crafted for those who love the great outdoors. This poncho offers dual benefits: warmth and protection from the elements. Its unique design and material composition make it a standout piece in any outdoor wardrobe.

Designer: Snow Peak

Snow Peak’s Fire Resistant Insulated Poncho is exactly what its name says as it’s a poncho that you can wear when outdoors that can keep you warm but also protect you from some elements like fire. Unlike traditional jackets, this poncho ensures comfort without excessive heat, making it ideal for varying weather conditions.

Crafted from a blend of 95% polyester and 5% aramid, the poncho’s construction is both durable and functional. The polyester lining and wadding provide excellent insulation against cold weather. Moreover, the water-resistant outer shell is made from the same fibers found in firefighting suits, offering an extra layer of protection. This ensures that wearers remain safe and comfortable, even in challenging environments.

The poncho’s design includes side openings, allowing users to regulate airflow based on their comfort needs. This feature is particularly useful when temperatures fluctuate, providing flexibility and adaptability. Additionally, the integrated hood and zippered neck offer further protection from the elements, ensuring that users stay warm and dry in unpredictable weather.

For those who appreciate practicality, the poncho includes zippered exterior pockets. These pockets serve a dual purpose: providing storage space and acting as hand warmers. This thoughtful design element enhances the poncho’s functionality, making it an essential item for any camping trip. Available in three stylish colors—Black, Coyote Tan, and Olive—the poncho caters to diverse aesthetic preferences.

Incorporating this poncho into your outdoor gear collection means prioritizing safety without compromising on style or comfort. Its thoughtful design and superior materials set it apart from conventional outerwear. For anyone passionate about camping and outdoor activities, the Fire Resistant Insulated Poncho is a wise investment.
