Berluti x Beolab 90

Berluti x Bang & Olufsen Collaborate For Luxury Audio Visual Line

Parisian maker of fashionable leather goods, Berluti, and Danish luxury audio brand Bang & Olufsen have collaborated for a limited-edition collection of products.

Perfect for urban travellers and digital nomads, Beosound A1 2nd Gen Berluti Edition, Beoplay H95 Berluti Edition, and Berluti’s Sound Pouch are ideal for carrying on the go.

Rounding off the collection are a trio of decidedly non-portable special editions in the form of the Beosound Balance Berluti Edition, Beovision Harmony and Beolab 90.

Beosound A1 2nd Gen Berluti Edition

Bang & Olufsen’s second-gen portable Bluetooth speaker is waterproof, dustproof and boasts up to 18 hours of battery play time.

Berluti x Bang & Olufsen A1

The 360-degree omnidirectional speaker sports a three-microphone array and Alexa baked-in.

The minimalist design in Grey Mist features a large Berluti logo on top of the speaker, while a Berluti calf leather cord in shiny dark brown tones aids the A1’s portability. There is also an aluminium tag with the Bang & Olufsen logo laser engraved on one side and the Berluti logo on the other. The aluminium tag is completed with a mirror-polished finish, drawing inspiration from Berluti’s ready to wear accessory trimmings.

Beoplay H95 Berluti Edition

First launched in 2020, the H95 are arguably the Danish brand’s finest wireless headphones. Upgrading these comfortable noise-cancelling headphones is a headband featuring Berluti’s trademark Venezia leather with a TDM Intenso patina and the Maison’s embossed logo.

Berluti x Bang & Olufsen H95

The dark brown soft lambskin ear cushions match the Berluti Venezia leather headband, creating a cohesive expression. The aluminium discs have been engraved with the Berluti logo on the left-hand side and the Bang & Olufsen logo on the right. The headphones are housed in a black aluminium case where you’ll find more laser engraved logos.

Berluti Sound Pouch

Berluti has created a dedicated pouch that can comfortably cosset either the Beosound A1 speaker or the Beoplay H95 headphones.

Berluti x Bang & Olufsen Sound Pouch

Made with Berluti’s Signature Canvas – a motif blending Berluti’s new logo and the undulating strokes of the iconic Scritto – and featuring a patinated Venezia leather tag, it is ideal for safe carrying.

Beosound Balance Berluti Edition

Bang & Olufsen’s home object-inspired speaker features a hidden touch interface that lights up when approached and comes with Google Assistant and supports Apple Airplay2, Spotify Connect and Google Chromecast.

Berluti x Bang & Olufsen Balance

Seven carefully placed speaker drivers with beam-forming technology hands you the option of powerful and room-filling sound for everyday listening and sound directivity for precise and immersive music experiences.

Patinated by hand, Berluti’s Venezia leather is wrapped around the wooden base of Balance, creating a distinct finish and manufactured with Berluti’s artisanal know-how. The fabric has a dark knit with a touch of brown to match the leather base, which has been embossed with both logos and includes fine stitching around the base’s edge to create a touch of elegance. The top plate and grill come in natural aluminium for a high contrast and exclusive highlight to the darker materials.

Beolab 90 Berluti Edition

Featuring 8,200 watts of musical power, Beolab 90 adapts to its surroundings and your preferred listening modes to create an unprecedented level of musical power and precision, says the Danish audio brand.

Berluti x Bang & Olufsen Beolab 90

The base of the aluminium speaker is customised with Berluti’s Venezia leather – with a TDM Intenso patina to create a bold design statement and, funnily enough, is the perfect match for Beovision Harmony Berluti Edition.

Beovision Harmony Berluti Edition

Originally unveiled at Milan Design Week in 2019, the 77-inch TV folds down into a sculptural shape with the panels partially covering the screen. When you want to watch something, these wings fan out and elevate the screen above them to perfect viewing height.

Berluti x Bang & Olufsen Beovision Harmony

Featuring an LG 4k resolution OLED screen and motorised floor stand, infused in Berluti’s DNA through exceptionally fine, perforated and patinated Venezia leather covering the speaker panels, it offers a unique interactive experience, we are reliably informed.

A Berluti representative told GadgetyNews:

Berluti and Bang & Olufsen are a perfect match, bringing together a common passion for excellence. Bang & Olufsen’s cutting-edge philosophy, technological innovation and state-of-the-art design run parallel to the Maison’s focus on craftsmanship and its continually evolving lifestyle collection.

Christoffer Poulsen, SVP of Product Management & Brand Partnering at Bang & Olufsen, added:

For nearly a century, Bang & Olufsen has been pushing the boundaries of audio technology, and the company continues to sit at the forefront of acoustic innovation. Together with Berluti, we are bringing the best of artisanship to the fore with our expertise in sound and design and Berluti’s knowledge in leather craftsmanship to create a truly remarkable collection.

The Berluti edition Beoplay H95 (£1,100), Beosound A1 (£320), Beosound Balance (£3,200) and Sound Pouch (£450) will be available in limited quantities from May 28th 2021 at Bang & Olufsen at Harrods, Berluti at Harrods, Berluti Conduit Street and Mr Porter, as well as online at www.bang-olufsen.com. The made-to-order Beovision Harmony (£32,800) and Beolab 90 (£97,000) will be available to order from May 28th and showcased in select Berluti and Bang & Olufsen stores.

COTODAMA lyric canvasThe award-winning music tech company, COTODAMA, has doubly good news. Firstly they have a new product in the Lyric Canvas. Secondly, they are proud to announce their new ventures with Europe’s leading music tech incubator Abbey Road Red.

Cast your mind back to the end of last year. Are you there yet? Right, now picture the see-through speaker that displayed the lyrics of the song being played on it. That was the COTODAMA Lyric speaker.

The Lyric speaker now has a new family member called Lyric Canvas. Furthermore, Abbey Road Red now stands behind COTODAMA as the company moves forward with new experiences and products for their lyric-sync technology.

Abbey Road RedAbbey Road Red has been behind some of the world’s most innovative technologies empowering music culture.

COTODAMA Lyric Canvas

The Canvas model is informed by a design ethos that fits in with interior design trends.

COTODAMA lyric canvas rearCanvas consists of two boards that lean against the wall. Not too dissimilar to how some of us might rest an LP sleeve against wall as the record plays. Well, in the case of Canvas, the front board is the screen which displays the lyrics. Meanwhile, located on the second board are the Hi-Fi audio speakers.

COTODAMA lyric canvasDesigned as a high art concept which will decorate the home, Canvas allows listeners to live with their favourite lyrics like a painting on the wall. Providing constant inspiration and motivation through the power of words. Bringing lyrics and art together.

https://youtu.be/C7Y0c3XIJGo

Karim Fanous, Innovation Manager at Abbey Road Red, told us:

With streaming, music services have been evolving at an astonishing pace. More music is available and more accessible than ever before, but lyrics haven’t kept up. We’ve lost the feeling of running our fingers over release artwork and reading the lyrics while listening, singing along or mouthing the words when we feel like it. The brilliant team at COTODAMA are on a mission to evolve our lyrical experiences. Abbey Road Red explores the world’s most innovative technologies empowering music and culture. We are happy to partner with COTODAMA as the company moves forward with new experiences and products for their lyric visualisation technology.”

Price and availability

There is currently no release or price information for the Lyric Canvas. However, the original Lyric is available from the COTODAMA website. Price for that particular speaker is £4,320

DesignEvo-Logo-Maker-AppSetting out with your own business or social channels there is lots to consider. One oft-overlooked and usually expensive element is the branding or identity. DesignEvo could be a handy option.

Unless you know a friendly designer, or you have the skills yourself, even creating a logo can prove expensive.

Fortunately, there’s a new tool that can be accessed online or via smartphone apps.

DesignEvo

DesignEvo is a free online logo maker with 5,000+ logo templates that enable you to create a compelling, unique logo in minutes.

Furthermore, it offers you a large number of useful resources. Those resources include millions of icons, more than a hundred fonts and a good selection of powerful editing tools. All of the features are free and easy to use, although to get access to the high resolution version of your creation will involve a payment.

Templates

designevo templatesIn order to help people like me, DesignEvo’s designers have pre-designed 5,000+ stunning logo templates. These are ordered in to categories, such as Animal & Pet, Finance & Insurance, Letter logos, and so on.

designevo templateEvery logo template is fully customisable. This means that you are able to freely adjust the elements once you have decided on your starting template. After tweaking the design for a few minutes you will end up with a unique logo for what you want.

I found the trickiest part deciding on where to start. However, if you take a little time you’ll find the template that inspires you and then just take it from there.

Icons

DesignEvo contains a built-in database of myriad icons to slip in to your logo. All it takes is for you to enter a keyword that links to what you want to convey.

designevo game iconsThere’s loads to choose from so it is best to try a variety of search terms.

Once you have chosen the icon you want this too, of course, is editable. For instance, I swapped out the game controller for an old school joystick.

DesignEvo gaming logoThen I have rotated it so that it looks more like a face.

Shapes and fonts

In addition to the icons, DesignEvo has prepared many vector shapes that will bring additional beautification your logos.

There are badges, decorations, banners, symbols and so on. Choose one or more to suit your design.

When you have finished the design of the logo, don’t forget to choose a suitable font for your logo.

There are spaces for your company name and slogan, and making this striking is very important for attracting clients. The fonts are divided into two categories, classic fonts and art font. Just choose a preferred one to make your logo more attractive.

Preview

Remember, preview the logo before downloading it.

The preview feature enables you to see your logo placed on business card, wall, book cover and so on. From  here you can judge if it is good enough to meet your needs.

Otherwise, you can redesign it to make it perfectly suitable.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvHbd6Z0_yY.

DesignEvo review conclusion

All in all, logos are needed everywhere. If you want to save time, effort and money then don’t hesitate to give DesignEvo a whirl.

This is an easy tool to use and even someone without any design skills should be able to come up with something usable. However, if you have a little more experience you will be able to push the limits a little and design something even more unique.

You may have noticed that GadgetyNews has a new logo. Yup, it was created with DesignEvo and I am pretty happy with it.

logo-transparentIs that testimony enough?

Db Equipment PU Leather

Db Equipment PU LeatherWhen you are looking for premium luggage you are generally faced with an overwhelming amount of animal-based kit. However, Db Equipment has announced a range of PU leather luggage and accessories. A perfect option for animal lovers.

I am going to avoid the subjects of veganism and vegetarianism as these tend to be trigger words. Whether you choose to remove, reduce or limit your intake of meat or dairy is your own choice. A great choice, in my personal opinion, but ultimately one you should make because you want to.

The fact is that Db Equipment has designed this awesome looking collection using PU leather for a handful of reasons. Firstly, it has a similar look and feel to real leather. Also, it looks super pro. Lastly, it is easy to clean and much more water resistant than animal hide.

Db Equipment PU Leather Collection

The new and stylish collection is made up of three backpacks, a laptop sleeve, and essential travel accessories. All have been designed and built with Db’s unique Nordic style.

Here’s a little insight to the collection.

The Artist

Db Equipment PU LeatherFrom work to play, and everything in between, The Artist is the ultimate pack for urban adventures.

Designed with sleek vegan PU leather and thoughtful pockets for your valuables, you can feel safe and stylish while roaming the city.

With a 13-inch laptop compartment, this 22L pack will carry your daily necessities with ease and comfort.

The Ace

Db Equipment PU LeatherThis boasts nine separate storage compartments and a main pocket designed to fit a small to medium internal camera unit.

The Ace is the perfect fashion-forward pack for urban photographers.

The Scholar

Db Equipment PU LeatherThis multi-purpose backpack brings it all back to basics.

Stripped from any excessive frill, The Scholar adapts to your lifestyle essentials in a simplistic and comfortable way.

Db Equipment PU LeatherThis is my favourite pack from this collection and would equally suit trips to the skate park, campus or the gym.

I am really digging the asymmetrical hook-up system that enables you to attach the scholar to Db rolling bags.

The Proper laptop sleeve

Db Equipment PU LeatherAvailable in both 13-inch and 15-inch sizes, this sleek, low-profile sleeve will keep your laptop safe while you’re on the move.

Db Equipment PU LeatherLooks sharp.  Looks pro.

The Vain wash bag

Db Equipment PU LeatherI will admit, my Addidas freebe is looking kinda tired these days. However, in extreme contrast to what I lug around, Db’s new wash bag is elegantly crafted with lightly grained soft PU leather.

The Vain wash bag would definitely up my ‘on the road’ game. Who doesn’t need something to take care of all their toiletries with sophistication and style?

The Voyage

Db Equipment PU LeatherWho cares whether we have a blue or burgandy passport if it’s wrapped up in The Voyage passport cover?

Db Equipment PU LeatherThis covers your license to travel in protective PU leather. Furthermore, it boasts interior card pockets, and a metal clasp on the exterior. Ensure that your key to the world is secured in style.

Expeditionist luggage tag<

Db Equipment PU LeatherA little bit more classy than a bit of card on a thin elastic band.

Often overlooked until you really need it. Claim what’s yours with confidence and keep your luggage marked as well as on trend.

A must for frequent fliers!

Price and availability

You can order your choices right now – just click the individual links to take you to the product’s own page.

The post Best 3D Printers for the UK in 2017 appeared first on GadgetyNews.

GadgetyNews - Low Jargon: High Tech

best 3D printers uk3D Printing has come a long way in a short time. While it is yet to achieve the Star Trek level of immediacy and convenience, “rapid prototyping” has gone from novelty to mainstream, and with it a whole industry has grown.

The UK has a lot of 3d printers to choose from, which should you consider investing in?

We have rounded up the best options for 2017. Let’s dig in!

First, let’s start with the very cheapest of the budget end …

Anet A8

anet a8 3d printerWhile this Prusa i3 clone is the cheapest of the cheap 3d printer kits, it has a whole community behind it and it has the capability to create surprisingly good output if you build it right and spend some time on it.

It is supplied as acrylic, but free instructions are available to upgrade it to a metal frame using off the shelf aluminium extrusion, that takes it to a whole more solid level. The base kit is great though, and is well-suited to people just starting out and wanting to dip in a toe, or for families looking for a project to build together.

Available from Amazon.co.uk for around £175. In fact, GearBest has them in a Flash Sale right now for £110!

Creality CR-10

creality cr-10 3d printerStill considered budget, this machine has an astonishing 300mm x 300mm build plate (with the option to even go bigger, up to 500mm x 500mm!).

Output quality is excellent with the correct settings, it has reliability only beaten by machines double the price, and even more convenient, it comes almost fully assembled. In literally half an hour you can be up and printing to a high quality level.

You can buy the Creality CR-10 from either Amazon for just over £400. GearBest currently has them from £290.

Prusa i3 Mk2s/Mk3

original-prusa-i3-mk2-kitWe are getting into the upper end of the hobbyist price range here, but still as a kit this is affordable to many, and pre-built still comes in at a reasonable cost considering the high quality, branded parts, the technology that makes it much more easy to use and reliable, and the fact this machine is the one many are “inspired” by and compare to.

Output quality is stellar, and with Prusa’s own software, it’s plug and play.

Currently you can only order these direct from Prusa. Prices start at $699 for the DIY kit or pay another $200 for pre-assembled.

Lulzbot Taz 6

lulzbot taz 6If you need a larger build area but still have responsive support, then the next step from the Prusa is the Lulzbot family. These machines are rock solid, industrial strength beasts. While they don’t have the fine details of the Prusa, they have the sheer beast-like construction that makes them robust and ready to take a daily bashing.

You even have the option of the “Moarstruder” to print big, beefy layers in a fraction of the time.

The Taz 6 can be yours for around £2,450 from Amazon.

Ultimaker 3

ultimaker 3The gold standard of the “prosumer” level 3d printers, this machine has a hefty price tag, but premium quality and convenience to match.

As all the machines in this list, you can use any 3rd party filament and software, but it really shines when you use all Ultimaker and get the benefit of their end-to-end ecosystem. They provide hardware, software, and materials that all work together to make a “it just works” experience. Even the filament has tech – Ultimaker branded filaments have NFC tags that speak to the printer to tell it which materials you are using to make it absolutely foolproof.

Just like Lulzbot, you can easily swap and change hot-ends, plus this guy comes complete with dual extruders so you can have two colours, or have one dedicated to dissolvable support material.

Quality of output is the best of the bunch due to the way the mechanical aspects are organised (the bed only moves in the Z axis, and the extruders are fixed to the machine rather than the X carriage), and the fact Ultimaker designed the machine from the ground-up rather than picking off the shelf parts.

The best does come at a price. Amazon has the UM2+ for sale at £3,400. You can nab the regular UM3 from official resellars for £3,354.00 inc VAT and UK postage. The Extended version will cost you £4,242.00 inc VAT and delivery.

Conclusion

  • If your budget is tight, build your own Anet A8
  • Need a big build area but still on a budget, go with the highly respected and reviewed CR-10
  • Want something that is high quality but won’t max out your credit card? The Prusa is the world’s best general purpose 3d printer.
  • Going for convenience and quality, to heck with the budget? You won’t be disappointed with the Ultimaker.

For hints, tips and more about 3d printing, Maker Hacks is an excellent resource.

Eine and Kaspersky Data Dollar Store – swap data for art https://gadgetynews.com/eine-kaspersky-data-dollar-store-swap-data-art/ https://gadgetynews.com/eine-kaspersky-data-dollar-store-swap-data-art/#respond Wed, 06 Sep 2017 06:30:07 +0000 https://gadgetynews.com/?p=61306 GadgetyNews - Low Jargon: High Tech

Renowned street artist Ben Eine has created limited edition artwork in his famous lettering style

The post Eine and Kaspersky Data Dollar Store – swap data for art appeared first on GadgetyNews.

GadgetyNews - Low Jargon: High Tech

ben eineRenowned street artist Ben Eine has created limited edition artwork in his famous lettering style for sale in a pop up store by cybersecurity company Kaspersky Lab at a two-day pop-up shop.

The Data Dollar store is located in Old Street station, East London.

Fans will be able to purchase exclusive screenprints and merchandise at the Data Dollar Store created by cybersecurity giant Kaspersky Lab.

Data Dollar Store

Opening its doors today (Wednesday September 6th), the Data Dollar Store will be the only place for art fans to purchase this exclusive work from Eine.

It’s worth noting that his art has developed a reputation for selling out prior to the general opening of his exhibitions.

With his work in such high demand, the Data Dollar Store will give fans the chance to purchase a piece of his work– but with a twist.

Swap data for art

Created by Kaspersky Lab, the pop-up shop encourages shoppers to be mindful of the value of their digital data.

To bring this to life, shoppers will be presented with a totally new way of transaction. The Data Dollar Store will be the first ever retail store to use data as currency in exchange for goods.

Playing on the parallel between the intangibility of artwork and data, the use of the latter as the only accepted currency.

The aim here is to make shoppers think about the value of the data held on their devices.

Whilst art is worth whatever the buyer is willing to pay for it, the Data Dollar Store will ask shoppers what they are willing to part with without ever opening their own wallets.

Reactions

ben eine wallBen Eine said:

Art and data have similar parallels – both have value but at what cost? By selling my exclusive artwork that money cannot buy, but instead is exchanged for data, Kaspersky Lab opens a new way of thinking about the meaning of data and its value. Shoreditch has significance to me as it is where I have drawn much of my inspiration. It is also the home to Silicon Roundabout, the heart of the UK tech scene and the digital revolution, a fitting location for the Data Dollar Store. It brings these two worlds together and turns the simple transaction as we know it, on its head.”

David Emm, Principal Security Researcher, at Kaspersky Lab added

We live in a digital-first society and share huge amounts of data every day, without even realising it. Data, like art, is valuable, but that value is intangible until someone asks you what it is worth or takes it away. According to a global survey, while 29% of people worldwide have become victim of a cyberattack, 39% leave their devices unprotected from attacks.

By launching The Data Dollar Store and working with Ben Eine, we can bring the two worlds closer – selling exclusive art but at a cost that will provoke thought. Data dollars as a new currency gives personal data a tangible value and we want to remind modern consumers how important that is and why they should protect it.”

When and where

The Data Dollar Store will be open in Old Street station on 6th and 7th September from 8.30am-7pm.

>Since around 5 years ago, I stopped carting my much beloved Vivienne Westwood wallet. This was a very thoughtful gift and is still a much treasured possession. The thing is, I tend to carry less ‘real’ money with me and am really trying to declutter my life.

We all know that the more opportunity for carrying rubbish you allow, the greater the possibility of this becoming a self-fulfilling prophesy.

These days I carry a small card wallet that has just enough room for a few bits of folding money as well as my necessary cards.

MKC Wallet

What caught my interest with this money manager is that it boasts more than card space. Here, it states, that it will cart your keys, change and, most important of all, a bottle opener

IPPINKA - MKC Wallet Loaded closedThe MKC gets its name from Money, Keys, Cards, promises to carry all that, and more. It started off as a Kickstarter campaign and is now ready for pre-order.

Thanks to a swivel feature, you get easy access to keys and fobs. Why not add that bottle opener or USB drive?

IPPINKA - MKC wallet - Content SpreadWith a pair of pockets you can separate money from cards.

The Wallet comes in two styles and two colours. With or without flap, black or vintage brown.

Price and availability

You can pre-order the MKC Wallet direct from the webstore. Prices start at $60 for the wallets.

The bottle opener and 16GB USB key are also available for $12 and $39 respectively.

Avanti On-ear Headphones - Caramel Beige

Moshi Helios laptop backpackI have just been made aware of Moshi’s range of computer, smartphone and table accessories.

Moshi’s products certainly look interesting. Not only that though, well made and well designed.

From wireless speakers and on-ear headphones to travel bags, portable chargers and cases. Everything in Moshi’s range of products are all designed in-house from the ground up.

All Moshi products are covered by a standard one-year warranty. They are also made from carefully selected, high quality, environmentally friendly materials.

Moshi range

They have cases for the Samsung Galaxy S8, USB-C cables and adapters, backpacks and briefcases, speakers and headphones. Take the Helios Lite bag above and the Spatia speaker below, for example.

Spatia, £330 - MOSHIThe Vortex earphones and Avanti headphones look particularly interesting to me.

Vortex Air Bluetooth earphones

Enjoy and share your favourite tunes with Moshi’s Vortex Air wireless earbuds.

These reference-grade earphones give you 8 hours of playtime. This should get you through a day’s worth of tracks and calls.

Vortex MOSHI wideVortex Air also lets you share the good times and good tunes. This is thanks to Moshi’s DJ4two feature which streams music to a second Moshi headset.

Vortex Air main features

  • The drive units consist of high-definition Neodymium drivers housed in sintered steel alloy to minimise cavity-induced colouration.
  • This design not only vastly improves low frequency extension, but also renders silky smooth highs.
  • Vortex Air comes with 3 different sizes of hybrid-injection silicone ear tips as well as a set of memory foam ear tips that can effectively block out external noise while providing hours of comfortable listening.
  • Also included is a convenient magnetic clip to secure Vortex Air in place.

Avanti headphones

Moshi’s Avanti on-ear headphones seem to be built with comfort in mind.

The curved headband is engineered to position the soft, adjustable earcups to form a perfect, noise-isolating seal.

Avanti On-ear Headphones - Caramel BeigeThe Avanti is designed to be compact and light. That doesn’t mean that they will lack power. The Avantis pack high-efficiency 40mm drivers. These promise to deliver a full-bodied sound that rivals the audio quality of much larger headsets.

According to the information, Avanti’s bass is punchy yet smooth and the mids/highs are tuned to provide an intricate and immersive soundstage with wide dynamic range.

The headphones are made from stainless steel and soft leatherette.

I really like their aesthetic – subtle luxury in a distinctively minimalist design.

Avanti main features

  • High-resolution HD40 neodymium drivers (15 Hz-22kHz / -10dB@1kHz).
  • Angled earcup design for improved comfort over extended periods.
  • Closed back, on-ear (supra-aural) design for excellent noise isolation.
  • Engineered to provide a balanced and immersive sound.
  • Enhanced portability with a rotatable stainless steel headband and custom carrying case.
  • Detachable cable with built-in remote and microphone compatible with most phones and tablets.
