Blank William is a New York based designer who created this project called Kingdom Chess. Not much info, but you don't need so much when you look at this amazing aesthetic chess set.

Purity Ringis no stranger to The Collective Loop. They have been a part of the Playlist Collection many times. The new album Another Eternity was released as of March 3rd through 4AD label. This album doesn't let you down as sometimes a new album is compared to their first release, which was Shrines in 2012.
Another Eternity has the sounds of chill trap beats with the feel of electro that gave rise to a prevailing style in indie music.It's a different creative leap for the duo and I'm sure we will see other bands try the same, however Purity Ring came first. Purity Ring is stepping out of the ghostly shadows and embracing a somewhat more mainstream electro-pop sound. The songs are a lot more melodic and catchy this time around. Song like "Stranger Than Earth" and "Dust Hymn" will give you that chill trap electro feel, but don't be fooled the whole album will take you on a elcctro-pop journey of great sounds and catchy lyrics. Hats off to the Canadian duo's on their second album.
If this doesn't get your friends talking then well that can't be helped. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge has no micro SD slot. No user-accessible battery. Guess they took that from Apple. It delivers a metal and glass phone that's made even more interesting by the signature dual-curve, 5.1-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display. Other specs include an octacore processor running Android 5.0, a 16 megapixel, f/1.9 rear camera with optical image stabilization, a 5 megapixel front-facing camera, 3GB of RAM, and support for both WPC and PMA wireless charging, meaning your wall charger is needed but can still be used.

Paul Timmer an Amsterdam-based designer crafted this solid ash vibration absorbing wooden bike. This bike is made from solid ash and has no veneer or plywood enchantments. It weighs about 24 lbs and this is due to its timber frame. Since it absorbs vibrations you can expect that it is an exceptionally comfortable ride. This bike has an unusual fork construction which, is going through the frame, and is fixed by outside bearing. The design is also extended to the handlebars, which keeps the grain intact and makes it much stronger than if it was in two parts. It also uses a lighter and more durable belt instead of a chain. Check out below on a few words from the designer.
‘I don’t use wood for some kind of temporary solutions, wood is the best construction material available. it is the only construction material made by mother earth. this bike can be as strong as a steel one. but it has to be designed better than a steel bike. as always, the challenges are in the details.’ said Paul Timmer.
So what do you think about the bike and the design?
