Unityware – Clark Street Mercantile is a little store in Quebec that peddle things that are built to last. They recently embarked on creating their own collection of enamel cups that are ready to stand the test of time. Unityware is a joint partnership with Norquay Co. and handmade in Portland. The cups are made in an old vintage style that dates back to World War II. The attention to detail ensures that the product will serve generations to come, and the inaugural product is a quartet of mugs inspired by the four elements of nature: Land, Sea, Air, and Fire. Being clumsy (and a well-known cheapskate) makes me look forward to grabbing a cup that doesn’t mind abuse, and can last a lifetime.

Acer Iconia One 7 – The one disadvantage tablets have to a modern day smartphone is their inability to send and receive cellular phone calls. Their large screens were a consolation and this characteristic was overlooked, but things are about to change. Acer equips their new Iconia One 7 tablet with GSM and 3G radios so that it can receive data as well as being able to make and answer phone calls. This may not seem like a big deal when there are so many VOIP apps on the market, but a dedicated radio means less dropped calls and an expectation of clarity. Other specs of the the tablet indicate a crisp high-resolution IPS screen, a dual-core processor, front and back facing cameras, and 4.4 KitKat Operating System.

Magnum x Filson – You may not recognize the Magnum Photography name, but you’ve definitely seen their work. The international cooperative is owned by its photographer members with offices in New York, Paris, London, and Tokyo, and supplies pictures to newspapers and magazines all over the world. Magnum recently dispatched their world-renowned photographers Steve McCurry and David Alan Harvey to help Filson create a durable range of camera bags. Instead of the perspective of a technical designer, the bags have the expertise from photographers who are active on the field; think war-torn nations. The bags all have a traditional approach, but it’s subtle design is a facade for a bag that is filled with details and can rely on the durable Filson textile.
