This aluminum mouse is designed with precision to redefine personal computing. 🖱️ - This design journey started with a self-challenge - to create a precision mouse that perfectly embodies the designer’s personal needs and aesthetic sensibilities. The designer prioritized daily comfort through careful hand mapping and subtle contours that support natural positioning during extended use. The material of choice being aluminum brings multiple benefits beyond visual appeal - providing structural integrity, a premium tactile experience, and natural elegance that develops character over time. This decision reflects a commitment to longevity in an era of disposable peripherals. Add to it the soft angular design gives a definite feel of brutalism to the mouse. The result is a precision tool that seamlessly balances form and function while being a personal statement piece that enhances their daily workflow while showcasing their design philosophy of purposeful minimalism. - Designer: @jocelyn_graphism - Follow us at @yankodesign_official for the latest innovation in the product, technology and automotive designs.

The Shape of Things to Come | FAI Negozio Olivetti, Venice (IT)
08.05-28.09.2025 On the occasion of the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale, FAI – the Italian National Trust – presented the exhibition “The Shape of Things to Come” by Formafantasma, curated by Bartolomeo Pietromarchi @bartolomeo.pietromarchi and hosted at the Negozio Olivetti in Piazza San Marco, Venice. The exhibition is closely intertwined with the space designed by Carlo Scarpa – a masterpiece of modern architecture – and with the history of Olivetti, a company symbolic of technological innovation, cutting-edge design, and social commitment. The starting point for the Venice exhibition is Ore Streams, a project launched by Formafantasma in 2017, focused on recycling waste from the electronics industry, now revisited and expanded in a new chapter. Through a series of design objects, documentary videos, and 3D animations, the exhibition addresses the environmental impact of the tech sector from multiple perspectives, emphasizing the role of design as a tool for transformation and awareness. One of the key themes of the exhibition is planned obsolescence – a strategy that intentionally limits a product’s lifespan to encourage replacement, often at the expense of the consumer. This phenomenon, now dominant in the electronics sector, contrasts sharply with Olivetti’s design philosophy, which has always promoted quality, durability, and the cultural value of objects. The Olivetti Store thus becomes an ideal place to reflect on this dichotomy, embodying an alternative vision in which design is conceived to withstand the test of time.
