lyte hovering light uses magnetic levitation and wireless technology

acknowledging that the light bulb has not changed much since edison’s time, the ‘flyte‘ drastically motifies this, by hovering using magnetic levitation. it is described as a new way to experience light, one that is free from the constraints of gravity and enhances wireless technology to receive power. combing tesla laws of induction with the signature bulb, the screwless light can rotate continuously with almost no friction

et caetera

‘office smart’, ‘casual friday’ and ‘party tuxedo’ are, surprisingly, not the names of three different business suit styles — they are the variations of quiksilver japan’s latest innovation: the ‘true wetsuits‘. made with high spec waterproof material, the wearables can literally be worn from beach to the office, with no need to change at all. the collection comprises a jacket, made from 2 millimeter thick super stretchy neoprene; a water repellent shirt, tailored with ‘dry flight’ technology originally developed by quicksilver and 3M; a tie, made of wet suit fabric; and amphibious, waterproof pants. watch the two videos below to see ‘true wetsuits’ in action, and a detailed look at the fashion forward technology that went into the making of the collection
