In a world where connections fade like shadows at dusk, I find myself alone, surrounded by the promise of new beginnings—like the features in The Roads Must Roll, which offer hope yet feel so distant. The new vehicles and procedural islands remind me of roads untraveled, paths never taken. The beauty of creation juxtaposed with my lingering sense of abandonment envelops me. Each bridge pillar is a reminder of the gaps in my own life, the intersections where I yearn for companionship but find only silence. How can I navigate these streets of my heart when the motion blur of my emotions clouds my vision? #Loneliness #Heartbreak #RoadsMustRoll #EmotionalJourney #CreativeRelease

Our homes reflect who we are and what we value, and industrial-style décor embodies this concept perfectly. By embracing the raw, authentic charm of old factories and warehouses, it creates a space that is both functional and full of character. This design style highlights the beauty in imperfections, showcasing materials like exposed brick, metal, and reclaimed wood, each telling a unique story. Industrial chic is all about contrast, celebrating rugged textures paired with sleek design, imperfections that add depth, and a lived-in feel. Here’s how you can integrate this style, which celebrates character, functionality, and the timeless beauty of industrial heritage. 1. Use Exposed Bricks Exposed brick is a hallmark of industrial design that brings warmth, texture, and an urban edge to a space. Whether left raw for an authentic, bold statement or whitewashed for a softer touch, it adds character and depth. Even if your walls aren’t brick, you can recreate the look with realistic veneers or wallpaper for a hassle-free renovation. Exposed brick instantly gives any room a sense of history and a raw yet welcoming vibe. Also, industrial design features a neutral, muted color palette, with grays and blacks creating a sleek, modern look that complements exposed brick and maintains sophistication. The Vanke City Garden main building, located in Foshan, China, showcases a distinctive architectural style that blends eco-friendly, industrial, and chic elements. Designed by Percept Design, the structure draws inspiration from European architectural traditions while incorporating a harmonious combination of glass, brick, iron, and greenery on its exterior. The interior evokes the essence of a modern cathedral, merged with the tranquil ambiance of a greenhouse. Serving as an exhibition center, the building is dedicated to hosting various events and causes, offering a unique space that seamlessly integrates nature and industrial design. 2. Accentuate with Metal Metal is a key element of industrial design, prized for its durability and raw, edgy appeal. Once hidden in traditional architecture, exposed metal ductwork and pipes now take center stage, adding authenticity and visual intrigue. Incorporate materials like stainless steel, iron, or copper into hardware, lighting, shelving, bar stools, or as table and seating bases. Metal accessories or even a range hood can instantly elevate the kitchen while mixing finishes bring depth and character to the space. Metal furniture, such as steel tables, iron chairs, and metal shelves, adds strength and urban sophistication to a space. Industrial-style lighting, including Edison bulbs, metal pendants, and factory-inspired lamps, illuminates the space and adds to the aesthetics. The CLOCHE and ROUNDABOUT series by Dutch design studio RF Objects are handcrafted lighting collections designed by Ralph Frickel. The CLOCHE series takes inspiration from the early twentieth-century Parisian cloche hat and 1920s lampshades, blending vintage elegance with industrial aesthetics. The ROUNDABOUT collection, inspired by traffic circles, focuses on creating safer, more efficient intersections within the home. Both collections utilize a distinctive architectural wire rope, chosen for its shiny surface, which differentiates it from traditional industrial wire. This unique material imparts a soft, gentle sparkle to the lighting objects throughout the day. At night, the illuminated wire rope creates a dynamic interplay of shadows, enhancing the ambiance of the surrounding environment. Through innovative design and material selection, these elegant light designs successfully merge industrial style with elegance and functionality. 3. Integrate Raw Wood Wood adds warmth and softness, balancing the masculine elements of brick and metal to counteract the coldness of industrial chic and create a welcoming atmosphere. For added character, one can choose reclaimed wood, which brings a unique history and charm to the space. A wooden dining table, butcher block countertops, or shelves can soften the look while still preserving the industrial vibe. These natural elements introduce a sense of comfort and coziness, ensuring the space feels inviting without sacrificing the raw, edgy appeal that defines industrial design. The Stubby Chair blends nostalgia, nature, and minimalism into a modern design statement. Inspired by the simplicity of old park benches made from logs, it evokes a sense of the outdoors with a rugged yet refined presence. The designer aimed to reflect the human instinct to connect with nature by incorporating organic elements into a functional interior object. Crafted from wood and metal piping, the chair reimagines the traditional wooden seat in a bold, contemporary form. This fusion highlights a striking contrast like organic warmth paired with industrial strength that offers a timeless aesthetic that transcends fleeting trends. Designed to age gracefully, the Stubby Chair adapts to its environment and user over time. It avoids association with any specific era and embraces pure form and function. 4. Add Contrast The essence of industrial chic design lies in mixing contrasting elements. Combine sleek metal surfaces with the rough textures of brick, reclaimed wood, or raw concrete for a bold, dynamic look. Soft touches like rugs, cushions, and curtains in areas like the living room and bedroom add warmth, striking a perfect balance between old and new, as well as hard and soft materials. In the kitchen, pair modern appliances or go for a stainless-steel sink in the bathroom with vintage lighting for a timeless vibe. This fusion of rugged and refined creates stylish, functional spaces that is both inviting and full of character. The Outlander is a bold, industrial-style tiny home designed and built in Tasmania. With an all-black exterior, it blends seamlessly into its surroundings and defies the typical cutesy or boho aesthetic of most tiny homes. Spanning nine meters, it includes an open kitchen, king-size loft bedroom, lounge, and a custom bathroom featuring a keg sink, ice tub bathtub, and corrugated iron shower walls that amplify its rugged appeal. The interior thrives on contrast like raw materials meet sleek finishes, and matte black fixtures stand out against crisp white shiplap walls. Concrete-look floors and neutral urban tones unify the space, while minimal wooden furniture adds warmth. Smart storage features like a shared kitchen-bathroom wardrobe, oversized cabinets, and a sculptural floating stair-ladder enhance functionality without compromising style while the loft bedroom offers generous hidden storage. By playing with texture, tone, and material, the Outlander achieves a refined balance between bold industrial edge and cozy livability. 5. Explore Timeless Vintage Finds Industrial-style home décor fuses raw beauty, antique charm, and urban sophistication. Repurposed industrial relics and vintage furniture breathe new life into old objects like factory carts transformed into coffee tables or rusty lockers repurposed for storage. Antique tools, vintage signage, and retro artwork add distinct character, infusing the space with nostalgia and personality. By emphasizing exposed elements like metal accents and thoughtfully incorporating vintage finds, one can create a room full of style and individuality. This blend of rugged and refined elements adds character and personality, giving the space a distinctive, lived-in feel that tells a unique story through timeless treasures. For collectors and enthusiasts of handcrafted designs, the Nixie Tube Vintage Clock is a striking timepiece. This clock evokes 19th-century charm with a design reminiscent of the Victorian era. Crafted entirely by hand, it features a hydro-mechanical column with a manual drive, constructed from brass, copper, bronze, and glass where each component is soldered and threaded with meticulous care. It supports both 12- and 24-hour formats and features seven LED colors for time indication, with the option to turn off the glow at night. Powered by a 5V adapter, it measures 24 x 29 x 11 cm and includes three functional buttons. A unique twist—there’s a cylinder-shaped side slot that doubles as a phone stand, cleverly blending vintage style with modern utility. Industrial-style décor celebrates raw materials and functional beauty, blending style with everyday practicality. Its charm lies in the imperfections of weathered wood and aged brick, which add warmth, texture, and a lived-in feel, making the space truly inviting.The post From Tiny Homes to Loft Apartments: How to Incorporate Industrial Chic Decor into Any Space first appeared on Yanko Design. #tiny #homes #loft #apartments #how

Like any newbie, I immediately pulled out my phone, recorded the ride, and then gleefully shared videos with friends and family.The market for robotaxis is well beyond the shock and awe phase. For Tesla, the stakes are high to get it right.The EV maker's long-awaited autonomous ride-hailing service is expected to debut next month in Austin. It will join Waymo, owned by Google's parent company Alphabet, which is already entrenched in San Francisco and expanding into other cities.My BI colleagues Lloyd Lee and Alistair Barr tried to see which company offers the better self-driving experience: Tesla or Waymo. They test drove both, expecting the results of their not-so-scientific test to come down to minute details..The results surprised them.While the rides were mostly similar, the differentiator was Tesla running a red light at a complex intersection. It was an error too big to overlook. Waymo won the test.Lloyd and Alistair's story ricocheted around the internet and social media. On Tuesday, CNBC's David Faber pressed Tesla CEO Elon Musk about it, particularly the Tesla running a red light.Musk didn't address specific details in BI's reporting. Instead, he said Tesla's robotaxis will be "geo-fenced" — meaning they will avoid some intersections and certain parts of Austin.Waymo already uses geo-fencing. Its car avoided the intersection where the Tesla ran the red light, instead taking a route that was farther away and less time-efficient but perhaps safer to navigate, according to the BI story.Tesla's robotaxi plans come at a critical time for a brand that's taken a hit from Musk's work with the Trump administration. Overseas competition is also ramping up, and prices for used Teslas, including Cybertrucks, are falling.The excitement around the robotaxis is helping, though. Tesla's stock has risen about 40% since Musk talked up the robotaxi last month and signaled he was re-committing to Tesla and stepping back from DOGE.We'll stay all over this coverage for you, including the big debut.The new millennial home dilemmaMillennials are set to benefit from a massive wealth transfer from their boomer parents, most of which is held up in real estate.But because boomers tend to stay in their homes for decades, many children will inherit properties in need of some serious TLC.Microsoft's "age of AI agents" Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella recently tapped Jay Parikh, formerly Facebook's global head of engineering, to spearhead Microsoft's new AI unit, CoreAI.

What does it mean to treat food as art? For Bon Appétit, it means more than aesthetic plating or a perfectly crisp croissant on your feed. It's a deeper recognition of the visual culture, artistic intention, and emotional storytelling that underpin how we cook, eat, and experience food. That philosophy is the driving force behind the magazine's first-ever Art & Design issue, a vibrant, visually rich edition that sharply focuses on the often-overlooked connections between culinary culture and the creative industries. "As a brand, Bon Appétit aims to illustrate how food shapes culture and society," says editor-in-chief Jamila Robinson. "It's not only essential for life, but it's a creative expression." That thinking permeates every page of the special issue, from recipes riffing on iconic paintings to cutlery designed with sculptural ambition. The magazine has always been known for its sharp visuals and stylish sensibility, but this issue turns the dial up to eleven, and the cover alone is a striking signal of intent. Commissioned by French-based Argentine artist Matías Larraín, it's a bold, poster-like work that distils the spirit of the edition: colour-forward, culture-rich, and unabashedly design-minded. "His vibrant palette and distinctive aesthetic resonated with our brand's creative direction," explains Creative Director Caroline Newton, adding that his fascination with food as subject matter made him a natural choice for the project. Inside, the magazine takes readers on a multisensory journey across disciplines, from still lifes and museum-inspired meals to flatware that's equal parts sculpture and utensil and a digital cover that nods to Wayne Thiebaud's saccharine 1979 Cake Slice. There are also restaurant features that spotlight spaces like Clemente Bar in Manhattan and Central in Lima, where dining and visual storytelling go hand in hand. When it came to curating the content, Newton says the ideas came thick and fast. "When the theme was announced, our creative team was flooded with ideas," she recalls. "We refined our concepts, seeking a balance of diverse visual and cultural references that explore the intersections of art, design, and food." The result is a publication that feels both eclectic and intentional – not just a celebration of beautiful things but an invitation to look at the everyday through a more creative lens. It's also a showcase of Bon Appétit's own talent. "This issue is an important showcase for our extraordinarily talented creative department who make our dishes look so beautiful," says Jamila. From the editorial team to the test kitchen, there's a sense of creative cross-pollination behind each feature. Take A Bite at the Museum, a centrepiece story that brings together diverse contributors to reimagine food through fine art, flexing a different creative muscle in the process. Food, after all, is a medium most of us use every day. "Food is the art form we all participate in," Jamila writes in the issue's foreword – a mantra that underpins the editorial direction. Whether it's the way colour impacts our cravings or how food photography has evolved in the social media age, the magazine explores the role of visual culture in shaping what and how we eat. "Social media is simply a continuum, a modern means of communicating our relationship with food," Jamila reflects. "Humans have chronicled what we eat from the beginning, whether that's a cave painting, a still life, or a TikTok." Beyond the magazine, the edition also highlights a growing shift in hospitality spaces, from gallery-like interiors to artist collaborations that blur the boundaries between form, function, and flavour. "The visual storytelling in restaurants often gives you a sense of place," says Jamila. "It can convey the relationship the chefs have with these other art forms and helps open people to other kinds of expression." That immersive quality and the idea that food can tell stories beyond the plate is echoed throughout the issue. There's also a sense of fun underpinning it all. "We are not in the business of being bored," laughs Caroline when asked how chefs and creatives are using artistic processes in their work. Whether sketching, sculpting, or throwing a dinner party inspired by personal heritage, the magazine revels in food's ability to inspire and surprise. With its first Art & Design issue, Bon Appétit positions itself not just as a food publication but as a curator of culture that champions creativity in its many edible forms. "I hope readers are inspired to take note of the artist who drew the doodles on their apron," says Jamila. "I hope they gaze at the mural that is outside their favourite taco spot. Or pick up their phone and share a picture of their favourite dish – or something they cooked that turned out beautifully – with the rest of us." If there's one takeaway from this issue, it's that food isn't just something we consume. It's something we create. And sometimes, it belongs on a coffee table just as much as on a dinner plate. #feast #eyes #bon #appétit039s #first

Elon Musk said Tesla's robotaxis will be limited to certain areas of Austin during its launch next month. Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images 2025-05-20T22:25:07Z d Read in app This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now. Have an account? Tesla is planning to debut its robotaxi service next month in Austin. Business Insider tested Tesla's FSD Supervised software ahead of the launch. Tesla's FSD ran a red light at a complex intersection in San Francisco. Elon Musk said Tesla's robotaxis will be limited to certain parts of Austin and avoid intersections the company deems unsafe after the CEO was asked on TV about Business Insider's reporting on a critical error made by Tesla's Full Self-Driving Supervised software.In a May 17 story, two BI reporters took rides in a Waymo and a 2024 Tesla Model 3 equipped with the latest FSD software to compare both companies' autonomous driving technologies. Toward the end of the test, Tesla's FSD ran a red light at a complex intersection in San Francisco.During a discussion about Tesla's robotaxi launch, which is set for June in Austin, CNBC's David Faber asked Musk about BI's report."I guess my question is, is that a concern at all for you in terms of it encountering things that are still sort of a crucial test, and perhaps it fails," Faber said.Musk said BI's test "made no sense" because it compared Tesla's FSD Supervised, which he said assumes a driver is behind the wheel and ready to take over, rather than FSD Unsupervised. @businessinsider We tried two self-driving cars to find the differences between them. #tesla #waymo #fsd ♬ original sound - Business Insider BI noted in the story that the test compared a piece of Tesla technology that could be different from the software that will power the company's robotaxis. BI reported one of the test's goals was to see how far FSD had come since its beta rollout in 2020.Musk and a Tesla spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday. A Tesla spokesperson also didn't respond to a request for comment to BI's previous story about the driving test on May 17.In the CNBC interview, Musk didn't address specific details in BI's reporting. However, he said Tesla's robotaxis will be geo-fenced to certain parts of Austin.Alphabet's Waymo also uses geo-fencing to limit its autonomous cars to certain parts of a given city, including, for the moment, highways."When we deploy the cars in Austin, we are actually going to deploy it not to the entire Austin region but only to the parts of Austin we consider to be the safest," Musk said on CNBC. "So we will geo-fence it."He added: "It's not going to take intersections unless we are highly confident it's going to do well with that intersection. Or it will just take a route around that intersection."BI's test showed that Waymo appeared to avoid the same intersection where Tesla FSD made the error. Instead, Waymo took BI through a route that was farther and less time-efficient, based on estimated time arrivals provided by Google Maps.During the CNBC interview, the Tesla CEO reiterated his prediction that Tesla's robotaxis will see a quick ramp-up after a limited rollout next month."We'll start with probably 10 for a week, then increase it to 20, 30, 40," Musk said. "It will probably be at 1,000 within a few months." #elon #musk #says #tesla #robotaxis
