C SEED N1

In certain living room spaces, an art collection or signature piece of furniture might call for the most attention. However, the need for a TV remains for game days and movie nights. C Seed earned initial notoriety for its range of folding outdoor TV options (ideal for a patio or pool area), and are back with multiple, indoor-focused 4K TVs that fold into simple, sculpture-like bricks when not in use. Just because the footprint is smaller, doesn’t mean that you’ll have to sacrifice quality: The display is specially engineered to produce truer colors and has twin 100-watt broadband speakers integrated into the construction.

There’s perhaps no better way to add a stunning touch of drama and wonder to a kitchen than with this ceiling-mounted faucet system. The Purist Suspend has a precise pivoting arm that can be adjusted to any preferred hanging height for 8 to 10-foot ceilings, while a swing arm offers 180 degrees of rotation to work where you need it to. For minimalist and sleek kitchens looking for that defining piece, this is it. US.Kohler.com This medicine-cabinet integrated lock box is a clever way to keep medication or other important valuables secure from children or while on vacation. While it is best used within a broader Robern display, there is a solo-mounted option that would fit into a variety of other medicine cabinets. For peace of mind, locking features and programming can be controlled via an app, and the user is notified whenever the box is opened. Robern.com
