This Bluetooth speaker is visually pleasing

I wouldn't mind having this portable speaker sit on my desk. Designed by award-winning Danish designer Cecilie Manz and crafted by Bang & Olufsen, the BeoPlay Beolit 15 features True360 omni-directional sound, up to 24 hours of continuous play time from a single battery charge, and premium materials such as anodized aluminum and full grain leather.

The $550 Bluetooth speaker weighs 5 pounds and is much bulkier and boxier in design than its predecessor—the Beoplay A2. It's a real powerhouse featuring 4 active drivers and 2 passive bass radiators, driven by dual Class D amplifiers, delivering 240 watts of peak power. Available in Natural Champagne, Polar Blue, and Shade Rosa accents.

"After that, I want to inspire people who are or have been in a psychiatric hospital. I want them to s...

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Print out and fold your own paper cameras

Totally want to make some of these Olympus mirrorless cameras with my daughter this weekend. They don't take pictures, but they sure would make my little girl very happy. The Japanese company has a webpage for kids , and you can easily create three-dimensional paper models of the OM-D or the PEN Lite by printing and folding those PDF templates in the papercraft section . Enjoy! [h/t: Pop Photo ]
