There's a renaissance of European hardware startups no one hardly knows about. Andreas started to visit some of them to shoot videos and Pia is doing a grand tour.
Oscar en zo made Lomo, a disposable camera which doesn't require you to ditch your phone. You can shoot a photo roll with friends and only see the results when the prints are delivered on your doorstep. Could be fun at weddings and such...
Some folks from Utrecht made Pieter Post. I grew up watching this series on the telly, so seeing this mail delivery service made me chuckle. Back in the day, I had a similar idea for such a feature at WeTransfer, but men followed Excel sheets instead.
Tom Trago launched Lateef, a refreshingly good selection of tea. While touring the world as a dj, he became a tea sommelier on the side. Such a dope pivot!
Freddie made TinyCreate, an app to save ideas, links or whatever the fuck. I must admit it's fast and has those gen-z flavours for reasons unbeknown to me.
Atilla made a Bauhaus clock screensaver for Mac which looks absolutely stunning.
Checkout Anytype. It's like a decentralized Notion, made by folks who incorporated in the Swiss Confederation so you know your data is safe.
If you're looking for quality denim I highly recommend visiting Tenue de Nîmes. Menno has been into denim since birth hahahaha hence he made his own Tenue.
You should keep tabs on what Maya is doing with her own innovative fashion brand called OHMNI. She's utilizing the principles of a Faraday cage to block or shield yourself against electrical signals. Perfect for going off the grid before WWIII hits.
Even though Carl Pei is already rollin' with Phone (3), the CMF phones are a very seductive alternative to the increasingly pricey (and boring) Apples.
