In a press release, he explains how luxury is "not anymore a matter of comfort." Instead it's being able to "decide where you want to have a moment of peace, a chance to escape from hectic activity of contemporary lifestyles." This philosophy is in plain view with his Nomadic Chair, which sees comfort reduced to a minimum to increase its portability.  <a href="/web/20131116022809/http://www.gizmag.com/portable-nomadic-chair/29737/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div>   <div class="summary_item newsbyte " data-article="29669"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20131116022809/http://www.gizmag.com/alarmclock-wakes-truth/29669/">ALARMclock wakes you up with harsh truths</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20131116022809/http://www.gizmag.com/author/dave-parrack/">Dave Parrack</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="summary"> <p> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20131116022809/http://www.gizmag.com/alarmclock-wakes-truth/29669/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20131116022809im_/http://images.gizmag.com/related/alarmclock-wakes-truth.jpg" title="ALARMclock is an alarm clock capable of displaying a lot more information than just the ti..." alt="ALARMclock is an alarm clock capable of displaying a lot more information than just the ti..." class="newsbyte_img"/></a> ALARMclock might look like a simple wooden alarm clock, but its meek exterior hides its true raison d'etre, which is to energize each morning by shocking users awake with facts and figures highlighting the harsh realities of life.  <a href="/web/20131116022809/http://www.gizmag.com/alarmclock-wakes-truth/29669/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="29604"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20131116022809/http://www.gizmag.com/goodthinking/" style="float: left; margin-right: 9px;">GOOD THINKING</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20131116022809/http://www.gizmag.com/toyo-safety-bloom-helmet/29604/">Collapsible Bloom helmet expands for emergencies</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20131116022809/http://www.gizmag.com/author/dave-parrack/">Dave Parrack</a></div> <div class="date">October 30, 2013</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20131116022809/http://www.gizmag.com/toyo-safety-bloom-helmet/29604/#comments">1 Comment</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20131116022809/http://www.gizmag.com/toyo-safety-bloom-helmet/29604/pictures">4 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20131116022809/http://www.gizmag.com/toyo-safety-bloom-helmet/29604/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20131116022809im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/safety-bloom-helmet.jpg" title="The Bloom helmet from Toyo Safety looks like any other safety helmet, but folds down for s..." alt="The Bloom helmet from Toyo Safety looks like any other safety helmet, but folds down for s..."/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> Natural disasters can strike at any moment, and often with little, if any, warning.

It turns out that Hakkens wasn't the only one to be imagining a brave new future for smartphones, with Motorola announcing it has been working on a similar concept for the past year. Could Motorola Ara actually happen or is it still, despite Google's enviable and practically unlimited resources, a nice idea that is unlikely ever to become reality?  <a href="/web/20131116022809/http://www.gizmag.com/motorola-ara-modular-smartphone/29579/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="29538"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20131116022809/http://www.gizmag.com/aroundthehome/" style="float: left; margin-right: 9px;">AROUND THE HOME</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20131116022809/http://www.gizmag.com/blocd-sofa-scott-jones/29538/">Bloc'd Sofa can be reconfigured to suit your needs</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20131116022809/http://www.gizmag.com/author/dave-parrack/">Dave Parrack</a></div> <div class="date">October 24, 2013</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20131116022809/http://www.gizmag.com/blocd-sofa-scott-jones/29538/#comments">1 Comment</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20131116022809/http://www.gizmag.com/blocd-sofa-scott-jones/29538/pictures">9 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20131116022809/http://www.gizmag.com/blocd-sofa-scott-jones/29538/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20131116022809im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/blocd-sofa-scott-jones.jpg" title="The Bloc'd Sofa by Scott Jones comprises a steel and wood frame into which firm foam block..." alt="The Bloc'd Sofa by Scott Jones comprises a steel and wood frame into which firm foam block..."/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> A recurring theme we encounter at Gizmag is furniture designed to make the most of a small space. This is a timely trend, as living spaces in urban areas are increasingly being squeezed.
