GADGETS
CHIPOLO ONE THE FINDER WITH A REMINDER
The perfect little gadget that will help you find that item you always misplace. The Chipolo One Bluetooth tracker enables you to find any belonging by sound (via an alarm on your phone), see it on a map (via a mobile app) or use community search to recover lost items. It is also voice controlled, working with Siri, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. With its “Out of Range Alerts” function, Chipolo can also send a notification reminding you to take your losable items (like your keys, wallet, bag, child’s toys, etc.) before you head out, so you don’t leave them behind in the first place. Finally, it even helps you take the perfect selfie, working as a wireless shutter for your phone’s camera. The Chipolo One retails at 25 EUR. www.chipolo.net
TRANSPARENT HIGH DESIGN MEETS HIGH TECH
Swedish audio brand Transparent is known for its high-end circular alternatives to technology. Their speakers boast both a high-design sensibility and technological kudos, and are made from a transparent tempered glass casing and aluminum frame, stripping the speakers back to their mere essentials to allow listeners to see the item’s inner workings. Their tightly sealed 10-liter acoustic volume helps create a controlled reproduction of sound, similar to live studio audio. The speakers come in a modular design – making it simple to upgrade components – and can be mounted on a wall, a nod to the item’s high-design aesthetic. The speakers are available in regular or small, with black or red inner cables and outer color options as well as white or matte black. Retailing from 500 EUR. www.transpa.rent
MIST COMPACT TOUCHSCREEN CLEANER
MIST, a compact touchscreen cleaner, keeps the screens of phones and tablets spotless and bacteriafree on the go. A spray tube filled with an alcoholfree cleanser comes concealed within a slender microfiber cloth-clad bar. With the press of a button, the tube releases a gentle mist that can be wiped away along with fingerprints, smudges and 99.9% of common household bacteria. When empty – no need to throw the all-in-one spray and microfiber cloth out – MIST can be refilled with the AM Get Clean antibacterial refill liquid. What’s more, the MIST cleaner can be custom branded for each customer, making it just as unique as you. The MIST compact cleaner measures just 2 cm x 2 cm x 9 cm, with a 10.5 ml volume. It retails from 15 EUR. www.getcleanam.com/products/mist
