3 Near-Future Scenarios That Are Changing The Way We Work Today. Finally, Ikea Furniture You Can Build In 5 Minutes. Ikea furniture seems like such a good deal, until you get it home and realize that you have to spend half a day or more building it.
Ikea’s new Regissör line is an attempt to address this pain point. The company promises that its new bookshelf, cabinets, and coffee table can be constructed in a mere five minutes. How is this possible? To make the builds quicker, Ikea has deviated from the norm in a few ways: Most boards in the Regissör line are now wedge-shaped on their ends, to lean into one another at 45-degree angles, rather than connect at more precarious 90-degree angle. From what we can tell, this creates a more self-supportive structure that can get by with Ikea’s new pre-installed wooden dowels at each joint, rather than the screw-and-lock components Ikea uses today. You have to wonder about the long-term durability of furniture that consists of even less wood and screws than its forebears.

Silla Hill House, René Macintosh, Cassina, 1902. A Trash Can Jonathan Ive Could Love. Looking like a painted wooden column sliced diagonally in half with a samurai sword, the Swing Bin is one of the most beautiful trash bins we have ever seen.
It's also a feat of creative construction. The Swing Bin is not screwed or wired together. It consists of just two parts: a smooth plastic base and a perfectly balanced wooden lid that swings open and shut silently. Japanese designer Shigeichiro Takeuchi first created the sleek, sculptural Swing Bin in 2009. Imagining an elegant wastebin with the minimum number of components, Takeuchi figured out the exact angles that would allow the Swing Bin's lid to balance perfectly, allowing it to close firmly yet quietly with just a simple push.
