Below you’ll find the most popular designs we’ve tracked over the last 30 days – an overview of designs you shouldn’t have missed in December 2018. The Clip Art series features ten different paper clips from 1860 to 1934 , recreated from ancient patent records. Made from a single piece of flat stainless steel, the One-Piece Knife is exactly that. Minimalism at its best, the knife is strong and features a flat blade that curls into a pipe to form a handle that’s good to hold onto. Simplistic yet multi-functional, this design consists of a metal X-shaped base that can be adjusted to three different height settings: coffee table, dinner table, and desk . As we see with most conventional external hard drives, the casing is made from a rigid plastic, however, the ‘cushioning’ on Stripe is made from rubber, an excellent absorber of shocks , which is only emphasized by the air gaps between the ‘stripes’.

The first thing you need to know about Dá Licença , a boutique hotel in the Portuguese countryside, is that it was initially intended to be a tranquil, private refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city.  Perched on the hills of Alentejo in southern Portugal, a few kilometres away from the medieval town of Estremoz, the location enjoys expansive vistas of rolling olive groves, the forest of Serra d’Ossa and several small whitewashed villages, which form an earthly constellation of flickering lights during the night.
