In a world full of noise, wouldn't it be great if we were able to tune out parts of the soundscape in order to focus on the sounds we really want to hear? Andrew Grincell's Soothing concept headphones and mobile app aim to do just that.
The idea is simple. Put on the super sleek headphones, which registers the sound intake and sends the data wirelessly to your mobile phone. The mobile app analyses the sounds and displays the different sources as tracks on an interface which resembles an equaliser. You can then change the volumes of the different sources in order to filter out and emphasise different sounds, for example tuning out the traffic noise and intensifying the sounds of conversations. Total control over your aural landscape, now that's a soothing concept.
Andrew Grincell is a graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven and Soothing is part of his graduation project.
We love the high tech and super-slick look of Andrew Grinnell's headphones. For furniture with a similar vibe try the Split Step from Frederik Roije, the Sail TV stand from Desalto and the Florence side table from New Works.
For similarly sleek lighting, check out the I. Rain 37 OLED suspension light from Blackbody, the Standard pendant light from Menu and the Hi-Collar wall light from LZF.
Go for accessories which are as slick as they are functional, such as the aHead bluetooth headset from Kreafunk, the stormproof umbrella from Senz and the Superbag backpack from Nava.

There was a time when the use of marble was largely restricted to floors, posh kitchen counters and grave statutes. And then, at some point around the mid-noughties, marble was everywhere. Could the same be happening to terrazzo?

American artist-designer John Eric Byers cites, amongst others, Donald Judd and Richard Serra as sources of his inspiration. The influence of these American masters of minimalism are clear to see from the furniture he has created.
