Time is usually measured in straight lines and sweeping hands, but Triarch bends that rule into a triangle. Instead of conventional hands, its custom movement drives a rotating minute dial while a tiny ball traces a precise triangular path. Every glance becomes a small discovery, as the orbiting ball and shifting dial transform timekeeping into a kinetic sculpture on the wrist.

The design leans fully into the symbolism of the triangle, a shape long associated with stability, harmony, and eternity. From ancient pyramids to sacred geometry, the triangle has stood for structure and balance, and Triarch pulls that mythology straight onto the dial. The result is a watch that does not just show the time; it frames time inside a geometric icon that feels both timeless and futuristic.

Reading the Triarch takes a second to learn but makes sense quickly. Hours are tracked on a rotating outer dial marked from 1 to 12, spinning continuously beneath a fixed reference point. Meanwhile, the minutes are indicated by a small ball that travels along a triangular track, moving in sync with the passage of time. At the center sits an exposed golden gear, visible through a triangular window, acting as the mechanical heart that drives the entire system. This gear does not just function; it performs, turning the dial into a stage where mechanics and motion are always on display.

Triarch exists in two distinct variants, each interpreting the core concept differently. Triarch I is the more refined, dress-oriented expression. It features the original mechanical rotating dial with the triangle window prominently framing the golden gear and the hour module. The dial designs lean toward classical watchmaking aesthetics, with radiating guilloché-style patterns that catch light beautifully. Available in three colors, including teal, grey-black, and blue, Triarch I pairs its mechanical theater with a premium Italian leather strap and a polished stainless steel case. It is aimed at collectors who appreciate mechanical artistry wrapped in a quieter, more sophisticated package.

Triarch II takes the same foundation and pushes it into bolder, more experimental territory. This upgraded version adds an extra layer to the dial structure, creating more visual depth and making the internal architecture more visible. The most significant upgrade is the magnetic minute hand innovation. Instead of a traditional pointer, the minute indication on Triarch II jumps with magnetic force, creating a floating, almost sci-fi effect that sets it apart from conventional watches and even from Triarch I. Lume coverage is significantly expanded on Triarch II, with larger areas of Swiss Super-LumiNova applied across the dial, making it far brighter and more legible in the dark. Available in six colorways, including black with orange accents, teal, lime green, and others, Triarch II leans hard into a modern, almost cyberpunk vibe. It ships with a rugged Crazy Horse leather strap, a material known for its matte finish and ability to develop character over time.

Both models share the same mechanical platform and case architecture. The movement is a Miyota 9039 automatic, a 24-jewel Japanese caliber running at 28,800 beats per hour with a 36-hour power reserve and accuracy rated to around plus or minus 10 seconds per day. Mounted on top is the in-house rotating hour module, the complication that makes the entire display possible. The case is 316L stainless steel, measuring 42mm wide and 14.16mm thick, with a double-domed sapphire crystal up front treated with multi-layer anti-reflective coating. The caseback is also sapphire, offering a view of the Miyota movement and parts of the custom module. Water resistance is rated to 5 ATM, or 50 meters, suitable for daily wear but not serious water sports. Both versions use 20mm lugs with quick-release spring bars, making strap swaps effortless.

Triarch positions itself somewhere between horology and wearable art, offering a genuinely different way to interact with time. The $299 Triarch I appeals to those who want mechanical poetry in a relatively subdued form, while the $359 Triarch II targets enthusiasts chasing visual boldness and technical novelty. Either way, the triangle is not just decoration here; it is the entire logic of the watch. Both the Triarch I and Triarch II ship free globally, with an extra strap included in the box.

Getting a baby to brush their teeth is basically an Olympic sport. You’ve got squirming, crying, and a tiny human who thinks the toothbrush is an enemy. But what if brushing teeth didn’t have to feel like dental warfare? That’s exactly what mmmdesign studio set out to solve with their Dino brush, a finger toothbrush that transforms tooth-brushing time from scary to playful.

At first glance, the Dino brush looks more like a toy than a hygiene product, and that’s completely intentional. The design features an adorable dinosaur character that fits right over a parent’s finger, turning mom or dad into a friendly puppet that happens to clean teeth. It’s clever emotional engineering. Instead of approaching a baby with what looks like a clinical tool, you’re introducing them to a cute little dino friend. The psychology here is brilliant: babies are naturally curious and responsive to characters and faces, so this design taps right into that developmental sweet spot.

Designer: mmmdesign studio

The product addresses a genuine pain point for new parents trying to establish healthy oral care habits. That first introduction to tooth brushing often sets the tone for years to come, and if it’s traumatic, you’re in for battles at bedtime for the foreseeable future. By designing something that reduces fear and discomfort, the Dino brush isn’t just solving a functional problem but an emotional one too.

From a design perspective, what stands out is the thoughtfulness behind every curve and color choice. The soft, rounded forms feel non-threatening, while the bright, cheerful colors appeal to infant visual development. The dinosaur character has big, friendly eyes and a welcoming expression. There’s no sharp edges or intimidating features, just pure approachability. This kind of attention to psychological design shows that mmmdesign studio understands their end users on multiple levels: not just the babies using the brush, but also the stressed-out parents wielding it.

The finger-worn format is also genius from a practical standpoint. Parents get complete control and sensitivity, feeling exactly how much pressure they’re applying and being able to reach every corner of those tiny mouths. Traditional baby toothbrushes with handles can be awkward and imprecise, but with the Dino brush, you’re using your most dexterous tool (your finger) enhanced with gentle bristles. It’s intuitive in a way that makes the learning curve practically nonexistent.

What’s particularly interesting is how this design fits into a larger trend of “design for delight” in everyday objects. We’re seeing more and more products that don’t just fulfill a function but actively make mundane tasks more enjoyable. From gamified apps to character-based products, designers are realizing that emotional engagement isn’t frivolous but it’s actually essential to adoption and consistent use. A toothbrush that makes a baby smile is a toothbrush that actually gets used.

The Dino brush also reflects thoughtful consideration of the entire experience ecosystem. It’s not just about the moment of brushing but about building positive associations with oral care from the very beginning. That’s the kind of long-term thinking that separates good design from great design. You’re not just creating a product; you’re shaping behavior and attitudes.

For design enthusiasts, this project is a masterclass in empathy-driven design. mmmdesign studio clearly spent time understanding the real challenges of their target users and created something that addresses both practical and emotional needs. It’s product design that remembers people (even tiny people) are emotional beings first and functional ones second.

We’re constantly bombarded with overcomplicated gadgets and unnecessarily techy solutions but the Dino brush is refreshingly simple. It takes an age-old problem and solves it with charm, thoughtfulness, and a deep understanding of human (and tiny human) psychology. Sometimes the best innovations aren’t about adding more features but about making something fundamentally more human. Or in this case, more dino.

Here’s the thing about living in a city. You’re always caught between two opposing needs. You want to tune out the world on your commute, but also crave those spontaneous outdoor moments with friends. You need to look professional on video calls, but sometimes you just want to capture a memory for yourself. Your laptop runs hot, and honestly, so do you after a long day. It’s exhausting, this constant push and pull.

Designer Junwoo Lim has been paying attention to these contradictions. His “Our Seoul” project isn’t about creating more gadgets we don’t need. It’s about recognizing that our daily desires are complicated, and maybe our objects should be too. The series includes three products, each designed around a specific urban tension: Our Picnic, Our Flash, and Our Chilling. Together, they explore how reality and personal longing can coexist in the same space, the same device, the same moment.

Designer: Junwoo Lim

Let’s start with Our Picnic, because it perfectly captures something we all experience. Most mornings, you’re plugging in earbuds to create a bubble of privacy during your commute, shutting out surrounding sounds to protect your sanity. But then the weekend arrives, and suddenly you want the opposite. You want to be outside, sharing music, letting sound fill the space around you. Picnic bridges these two modes by transforming from earbuds into a speaker. Rotate the inner body 180 degrees, and what was personal becomes communal. When you’re outdoors, you can even rotate the back section 45 degrees to prop the device on the ground. The main body holds a 600 mAh battery while each earbud contains about 50 mAh, giving you flexibility for both modes. It’s a simple mechanical solution to an emotional need.

Our Flash tackles a different kind of duality, one that’s become painfully familiar in our video call era. Cameras are constant observers now. We exist within someone’s field of vision during meetings, always aware of being watched. But we’re also the ones doing the watching and recording, capturing moments we want to preserve and control. Flash merges these experiences into a hybrid camera unit that functions as both webcam and selfie camera, positioned somewhere between “the me that is seen” and “the me I want to show.” As a desk webcam, it handles your professional presence. But lift the head section, and the internal selfie camera detaches, ready for personal documentation. The clever part? That perforated central section that normally serves as a vent becomes a 360-degree rotating desk lamp when the internal light activates. It’s surveillance and self-expression and ambient lighting, all depending on what you need in that moment.

Then there’s Our Chilling, which might be the most relatable concept of all. We spend our lives surrounded by devices that need cooling. Laptops, desktops, gaming rigs. We’re constantly monitoring temperatures, adjusting fan speeds, making sure our machines don’t overheat. But who’s taking care of us? Chilling functions primarily as a laptop cooler with Bluetooth connectivity, letting you monitor CPU and GPU temperatures in real time and adjust cooling intensity through your laptop’s software. The bottom stand even adjusts the tilt angle for ergonomic positioning. But here’s the twist: flip it over, and those tower fan blades inside suddenly serve a different purpose. It becomes a desktop fan, one that can monitor room temperature just like it monitors your laptop’s heat. The same stand that adjusts your laptop angle now controls the fan’s direction. It’s a reminder that in a life where work and rest blur together, maybe we deserve the same attention we give our machines.

What makes this project compelling isn’t the technical specs or the minimalist aesthetic, though both are thoughtfully executed. It’s the underlying philosophy. Lim isn’t trying to simplify urban life or pretend we can eliminate its contradictions. Instead, he’s designing objects that acknowledge the messiness, the constant switching between modes, the way we’re always negotiating between competing needs. The “Our Seoul” series suggests that good design doesn’t resolve tension. It accommodates it.

These are concepts rather than products you can order today, but that’s exactly what makes them valuable. They capture something true about how we’re living right now, in cities that demand constant adaptation, surrounded by technology that often feels like it’s designed for a simpler, more consistent version of ourselves. We’re not that simple. Maybe our objects shouldn’t be either.

Most satellites avoid very low Earth orbit because the atmosphere is still thick enough to drag them down in days or weeks without constant propulsion. That said, Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) satellites offer sharper imagery with smaller optics and lower latency for communications if you can survive there. Redwire’s SabreSat is a satellite designed to live in that zone on purpose, using the air that normally kills spacecraft as part of its propulsion strategy.

SabreSat is Redwire’s VLEO-optimized satellite bus, chosen by DARPA for its OTTER program to demonstrate sustained operations in very low orbit. The platform is modular and built for Earth observation and atmospheric sensing, but its most interesting option is an air-breathing propulsion system that literally inhales thin air, ionizes it, and throws it out the back as thrust instead of relying on stored propellant alone.

Designer: Redwire

The overall shape from the renders looks more like a glider or flying wing than a cube with panels. A long, rounded fuselage with an oval nose, a huge vertical solar sail rising from the top, and two canted tail fins on each side. It has a clear nose, body, and tail rather than a generic bus, which makes sense for a spacecraft that has to fly through fluid instead of coasting in a vacuum.

The large vertical surface is clearly a solar array, covered in a dense grid of cells and framed in gold. Its size and placement suggest an aerodynamic role as well. In VLEO, that panel can act like a sail or stabilizer, helping align the spacecraft with the flow and giving attitude control systems something to work with. It’s a power source and an aerodynamic surface wrapped into one.

The fuselage and tail support the air-breathing concept. The smooth, rounded nose and long body are consistent with reducing drag and possibly funneling air toward an intake region inside. At the back, renders show twin exhaust plumes emerging from the aft end, hinting at an electric thruster fed by harvested air. The canted tail fin adds stability and helps manage the angle of attack in the thin atmosphere.

The air-breathing system is optional. SabreSat can fly as a more conventional VLEO satellite using stored propellant, or as an air-breathing craft that uses the atmosphere as reaction mass. That flexibility lets operators choose between shorter, simpler missions and long-duration, highly maneuverable flights that treat VLEO more like an operating layer than a decay zone where satellites eventually burn up.

SabreSat is a glimpse of what satellites might look like when we stop pretending space is always empty. Its flying-wing silhouette, solar sail, and air-breathing option suggest a future where spacecraft skim the upper atmosphere, sensing it and using it as fuel at the same time. It’s a reminder that the most interesting design work often happens where two environments overlap.

Autumn is a study in warmth, texture, and tone – a season that favours depth over decoration. While others reach for pumpkin spice everything and orange plastic gourds, these designs capture fall’s essence through terracotta and forest green, reflecting the quiet transformation of nature. In design, these colours bring calm energy and grounded elegance, transforming functional objects into tactile expressions of comfort and craftsmanship.

These seven designs prove you don’t need seasonal clichés to celebrate fall. Through texture, materiality, and muted richness, each product embodies a connection to nature – one that is subtle, enduring, and timeless. Together, they form a narrative of balance, where modern living meets the organic beauty of autumn’s tones without a single jack-o’-lantern in sight.

1. Clay Products – Design That Begins with the Earth

Forget foam pumpkins – clay offers something far more authentic. This ancient material’s tactile texture and thermal balance make it ideal for creating objects that breathe, cool, and connect with their environment. The natural terracotta palette radiates warmth, grounding modern interiors in authenticity and quiet beauty that lasts beyond October.

Beyond its function, clay represents craft, culture, and continuity. Whether shaped into planters, vessels, or humidifiers, it invites sustainability through simplicity. Each curve and imperfection tells a story of touch – a perfect reflection of autumn’s imperfect yet graceful rhythm between art and earth.

Clay filters are a household staple in Brazil, and designer Lucas Couto extends their legacy by incorporating clay into lamps, filters, and humidifiers. Celebrated for its natural, affordable, and versatile qualities, clay brings both warmth and function to contemporary homes. Couto honours traditional craftsmanship while adding thoughtful details like a handle for the upper reservoir and a base for supporting a glass, drawing inspiration from clay’s natural cooling properties.

His creations offer a multi-sensory experience through terracotta’s rich colour, texture, and earthy aroma. The collection includes a humidifier, planter, and lamp, each blending tactile beauty with functionality, celebrating clay’s organic elegance in everyday living—no seasonal gimmicks required.

2. Lighting Design – Where Warmth Takes Shape

Real fall ambiance comes from light, not plastic harvest decorations. Lighting defines the mood of a space, especially during fall, when days shorten and evenings invite softness. Designs in forest green or amber tones mimic nature’s fading glow, evoking warmth and intimacy. Sculptural silhouettes and modular forms bring visual rhythm to otherwise quiet interiors.

Modern lighting celebrates both geometry and emotion. Whether diffused or directional, it transforms function into atmosphere. In terracotta and brass, it glows with autumnal richness, capturing the transient beauty of sunlight filtered through changing leaves – subtle, poetic, and endlessly comforting.

The UU Tiles project by Paris-based studio Unknown, Untitled represents a refined synthesis of functionality and aesthetic innovation. Drawing subtle parallels to the organic warmth of terracotta and the rich tones of autumn, these minimalist tiles integrate lighting, electrical access, and airflow directly into their architectural framework. The result is a contemporary design solution that harmonises practicality with visual sophistication, transforming ordinary surfaces into interactive, multi-sensory elements that feel seasonal without screaming Halloween.

At the core of this collection lies the UU Tiles Lamp, a seamless extension of the wall that emits a gentle, autumn-inspired glow. More than a lighting fixture, it functions as a sculptural architectural component, embodying the studio’s pursuit of balance between form, atmosphere, and functionality.

3. Fluid Furniture – A Sculptural Embrace

Sophisticated fall style flows like autumn winds – not inflatable yard décor. Fluid furniture celebrates the art of continuous motion. With its seamless lines and organic curves, it reflects the natural flow of wind and water – a harmony that is echoed in autumn’s quiet transitions. Crafted from wood, leather, or resin, it embodies a craftsmanship that feels both tactile and timeless.

Each piece balances strength and grace, offering structure without rigidity. The use of rich materials and sculpted contours creates a visual softness ideal for modern interiors. It’s furniture that feels alive – breathing with the space around it and evolving with the season’s changing light, far more elegant than any seasonal tchotchke.

French fashion house Longchamp brings a touch of autumn warmth to interiors with its first furniture collection, created in collaboration with designer Pierre Renart. Echoing the earthy tones of terracotta and the organic spirit of fall, the collection fuses Longchamp’s renowned leather craftsmanship with Renart’s fluid woodworking. The Wave bench, upholstered in cashew-toned leather, captures the softness of natural materials and the gentle movement of fabric, embodying elegance and warmth.

The Ruban chairs complement this palette with shades inspired by forest greens and sunlit browns, evoking the hues of fall foliage. Together, they celebrate craftsmanship, sustainability, and timeless seasonal beauty that never goes out of style when November arrives.

4. Coffee Table – A Bold Accent in Clay Red

Skip the pumpkin-shaped serving trays – a statement coffee table grounds your fall aesthetic. A coffee table anchors a living room, both visually and functionally. In earthy tones like terracotta or deep red, it becomes the focal point – a grounding presence that radiates warmth. Designs often combine geometry and storage, merging practicality with expressive form.

Beyond its purpose, the coffee table invites connection – a surface for books, conversation, and ritual. Whether minimal or sculptural, it captures the essence of modern living: simplicity enriched by texture, colour, and thoughtful proportion.

The Bookpet coffee table by designer Deniz Aktay embodies the warmth and elegance of terracotta hues, perfectly echoing the rich tones of autumn interiors. Crafted from a double-bent cuboid structure, its sculptural silhouette adds visual depth while offering built-in storage for books and magazines. The fluid lines and earthy palette create a sense of movement and comfort, making it a statement piece for contemporary living spaces.

Designed for compact modern homes, Bookpet balances form, function, and seasonal warmth. Its terracotta-inspired finish complements fall décor, while the integrated nooks provide practical organisation – capturing the essence of cosy, organic, and thoughtfully crafted design that celebrates the season year-round.

5. Range Hood – Clean Air, Clear Mind

Nothing says sophisticated fall cooking like a kitchen that doesn’t rely on pumpkin spice candles to mask odours. The range hood is where performance meets aesthetic restraint. In contemporary kitchens, it’s no longer just an appliance but a quiet design statement. Compact, sleek, and minimal, it ensures clean air while blending into its surroundings with seamless precision.

Muted finishes like matte green or brushed metal soften its presence, allowing harmony within the cooking space. It represents how innovation can coexist with calm – a balance between efficiency and beauty that aligns perfectly with fall’s unhurried spirit.

Home-cooked meals are ideal, but the mess and lingering smells from stovetop cooking often discourage the habit. The AirHood solves this by drawing in smoke and oily fumes before they stain walls and counters, helping you cook without dreading the clean-up. Its warm terracotta finish blends beautifully with autumn-toned kitchens and cosy seasonal palettes.

Charcoal filters neutralise odours, while a stainless-steel oil filter traps grease that would otherwise cling to surfaces. Both are easy to remove and clean. Portable and optionally wireless, the AirHood delivers a calm, cleaner cooking ritual – especially welcome as kitchens shift to earthier fall hues without the kitsch.

6. Desk Organizer – Nature’s Order at Your Fingertips

Bring fall to your workspace without the miniature pumpkin parade. A well-designed desk organiser creates visual calm amid daily chaos. Drawing inspiration from leaves, pebbles, or branches, it brings organic balance to modern workspaces. The use of natural textures and earthy colours evokes tranquillity while maintaining functionality.

Each element, including a tray, stand, or holder, becomes a sculptural accent rather than clutter. Terracotta or forest tones add grounded beauty to productivity, turning everyday organisation into a design ritual rooted in mindfulness and grace – not seasonal gimmicks.

Workplace stress is often addressed with tidy desks, inspiring objects, and a touch of greenery, although real plants aren’t always practical. These nature-inspired accessories offer the same calming cue without maintenance. Rendered in deep forest green and muted autumn hues, they bring a grounded, seasonal warmth to the desktop while keeping the footprint minimal.

Rather than mimic plants literally, each piece abstracts stems and leaves into useful forms: a bamboo-like pencil holder with dual compartments, a curved “leaf” clock with a built-in tray, a tiered tray with hooks, and a subtle cable holder. Simple, elegant, and timeless – the anti-pumpkin approach to fall design.

7. Watch – Time, Reimagined in Metal and Fire

Why wear a watch with cartoon pumpkins when you can wear NASA’s rocket? A watch transforms timekeeping into personal expression. Modern designs balance technical precision with craftsmanship, often blending metals, ceramics, and glass. When accented with copper or red undertones, it mirrors the warmth of fall’s shifting light.

The watch embodies rhythm – not just in seconds but in seasons. Its enduring form reminds us that design can reflect both progress and pause, merging function with emotion in a single glance.

The U1-SPG “NASA Artemis” Limited Edition from Unimatic x Massena LAB translates the burnt-orange glow of NASA’s Space Launch System to the wrist. Limited to 99 pieces, its 40mm steel case wears a terracotta-hued Cerakote finish, evoking autumn warmth while honouring the Artemis rocket. A charcoal bezel, GMT hand, and Old Radium luminescent markers provide functional contrast, balancing style with practicality.

Rated to 300m and powered by the reliable Seiko NH34A movement, it comes with autumn-toned straps and a NASA mission patch. This limited-edition watch blends collectible prestige with everyday wearability, offering cosmic ambition wrapped in seasonal hues – proof that fall style doesn’t need to be literal.

These terracotta and forest-green designs capture the essence of fall through sophisticated, earthy tones and seasonal warmth. Without relying on traditional pumpkin motifs or throwaway seasonal décor, they bring autumn-inspired style, comfort, and personality into your home and lifestyle – designs that work in September, stay beautiful through November, and never feel like they belong in a clearance bin come December.

Flashlights are one of those things you never think about until you need one, and then you spend five minutes digging through drawers looking for the cheap plastic one that barely lights up anymore. Most of them do the bare minimum, offering a single brightness setting and maybe a strobe mode you’ll never use. They’re tools, not gadgets, and they certainly don’t inspire any excitement when you’re packing them into a bag or clipping them to a keychain.

The LOOPDOT by LOOP GEAR approaches this differently. Instead of treating a flashlight as purely functional, it adds a pixel display, a mechanical fidget dial, and enough personality to make you actually want to carry it around. It’s the kind of device that makes you realize how boring most pocket lights have been, combining serious output with features that are genuinely fun to play with.

The first thing you notice is how compact it is. At roughly the size of a car key fob, the LOOPDOT slips into pockets, bags, or clips onto keychains without adding noticeable weight. The body is aluminum or titanium, depending on which version you choose, and the finish feels solid in your hand. The pixel display on the front shows twinkling stars, flowing rainbows, or animated patterns that can be changed to match your mood.

The fidget dial dominates the top of the device, a large knurled ring that rotates smoothly to adjust brightness. Unlike buttons that click through preset levels, this dial offers stepless dimming, letting you dial in exactly the amount of light you need. The tactile feedback alone makes it satisfying to spin, even when you’re not adjusting anything. Dual infrared sensors detect rotation without mechanical contacts, ensuring smoother control and longer lifespan.

LOOPDOT offers two lighting modes that switch with a simple shake. Spotlight mode throws a focused 400-lumen beam up to 100 meters, perfect for nighttime walks, finding your tent in the dark, or lighting up a path when you’re hauling groceries from the car. Floodlight mode delivers 270 lumens with a CRI of 90, creating soft, natural light that works beautifully for reading or close-up tasks.

The pixel display isn’t just decoration. It shows battery status, lighting mode, and even plays 11 mini games when you’re waiting around with nothing to do. Rolling dice, tossing coins, or watching animated patterns flow across the screen turns idle moments into something slightly more entertaining. It’s a small touch, but one that makes the LOOPDOT feel less like a tool and more like a gadget you enjoy carrying.

Battery life is respectable for something this small. The 600mAh rechargeable battery lasts up to 11 hours on the lowest setting, or about 1.5 hours on full spotlight blast. USB-C charging means you can top it up with the same cable that charges your phone, and the IPX6 water resistance rating handles rain, splashes, or accidental drops into puddles without issue.

What makes the LOOPDOT feel genuinely different is how it refuses to be boring. Most EDC flashlights are black cylinders with a button and maybe a clip. This one has animations, a fidget dial that begs to be spun, and lighting modes that adapt to whatever you’re doing. It’s the kind of thing you show to friends, not because it’s overwhelmingly practical but because it’s oddly delightful.

LOOP GEAR managed to pack all of this into a device that’s smaller than most multitools, which is almost impressive on its own. While it won’t replace a dedicated camping lantern or tactical light, it fills the gap between cheap throwaway flashlights and serious outdoor gear. For anyone who wants something that’s actually fun to carry every day, that’s probably the sweet spot worth aiming for.
