TECHNOLOGY

Technology is omnipresent and ever-improving. A broad array of devices—objets d’art in their own right courtesy of forward-thinking industrial designers—enhance opportunities for leisure. Speakers and headphones flawlessly replicate auditory experiences, cameras make ephemeral moments permanent, and colorful cases for iPhones, iPads, and headphones protect while providing an avenue for self-expression. With household tech, home is more than where the hearth is: smart appliances collaborate in a symphony of convenience to streamline daily routines. Leading the charge in applied science, designer technologies coalesce form with function to upgrade the everyday.
