John’s Phone. You call, you hang up. Simple as that.
How about this as a Christmas gift idea? I know I’d be psyched… (hint, hint ;)
Weighing in at 12oz and measuring a mere 151 x 57 x 40mm in dimensions, the Jambox is designed by Yves Behar for Jawbone to be a completely mobile wireless speaker and speakerphone.
Love the packaging too: it creates a great user experience for the product.

A capsule hotel is a Japanese concept with sleeping pods instead of rooms, and shared bathrooms. Usually, these capsule hotels are far from well-designed.
Managed by Tokyo-based Cubic Inc., and designed in a collaboration with designer Fumie Shibata of Design Studio S, Kyoto’s 9 Hours is nothing like that.
The incredibly minimalist concept behind it is indicated in its name — 9 Hours is what every hotel should provide in its most basic form: 1 hour to shower + 7 hours to sleep + 1 hour to rest.
Decorated in only 4 colours, being most of it in black & white, style meets functionality making the hotel’s concept stand out. It was designed in a way that the guests would go through the motions of checking-in to getting into their white plastic sleeping capsules in a smooth and natural manner. Everything is clearly identified in internationally recognisable visual icons.
They also provide all the necessary basics to a confortable stay. From sleepwear to fluffy white towels.
The video has been provided by a Monocle article on the hotel.

So You Need a Typeface.
(by Julia Hansen)
“Have you ever thought… about whatever man builds, that all of man’s industrial efforts, all his calculations and computations, all the nights spent over working draughts and blueprints, invariably culminate in the production of a thing whose sole and guiding principle is the ultimate principle of simplicity? …It is as if there were a natural law which ordained that to achieve this end, to refine the curve of a piece of furniture, or a ship’s keel, or the fuselage of an airplane, until gradually it partakes of the elementary purity of the curve of a human breast or shoulder, there must be experimentations of several generations of craftsmen. If any thing at all, perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away, when a body has been stripped down to its nakedness.”
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry — Wind, Sand and Stars.
