désillusion

Been wanting to make a map for Hours with a proper day-to-night transition for a long time. So, it’s time. Project: Hours #process@dsllsn

Dear Apple, this is what I actually want from your new headphones. I just don’t want to think about them constantly running out of battery, not charging properly, and all that anymore.

Here’s an idea for a freemium model for your app on iPhone Duo: The free version only works on the external display.

KOTI B Pidat Birdhouse, Mika & Julie Tolvanen €120 The word ‘koti’ means home in Finnish. KOTI is a triangular ceramic birdhouse that mounts to the wall. Tried and tested - the birds have accepted this modern architecture and filled them with triangular nests three years in a row.  Each birdhouse is handmade by a small Portuguese factory, which started in 1979 and is known for its technical ceramics and high level of craftsmanship.

Preserving history doesn’t always mean restoring it. What matters is the journey—the way an object evolves from one state to another over time.

Personal projects are great because you can obsess over the smallest details for as long as you want. Project: Aumo #process@dsllsn

Fold Hang, Atelier Fomenta 2025 Fold Hang Chair is neither strictly a seat nor simply a table, it unfolds as an exploration of textile as both structure and gesture. At times, it is a smooth, rigid plane—at others, a pliant, folded cushion that yields to the body. In its shifting presence, the piece challenges conventional notions of function, embracing the tension between control and softness, structure and improvisation.

Project: Aumo A translation app shouldn’t decide how I want to sound. If I want to be a little more explicit, that’s exactly how it should come across. #process@dsllsn

Project: AQI Frame, Stage 1 Vibe coding didn’t just make it possible for me to build things on my own, exactly the way I want — it also opened the door to areas I never thought I’d get to explore, like devices. The first thing I built was an old idea of mine: a digital frame. All it took was a color e-ink display and a Raspberry Pi. Then, armed with ChatGPT and a terminal, I brought it to life. Bangkok has seasons with poor air quality, so everyone keeps an eye on the AQI. But staring at a number in a phone widget is boring. That’s how the AQI Frame was born. It works pretty simply: every five minutes it fetches the current AQI through an API, looks up the matching numbered photo in its library, and displays it on the frame. The photos are all ones I’ve taken while wandering the streets of Bangkok. Spoiler: even with only 300 possible AQI values, finding every number out in the wild is harder than you’d think. To avoid manually publishing photos, I built a Telegram bot. I can upload new photos to it, see which numbers are still missing, and monitor the overall status of the frame and the system behind it. I’ve got plenty more little (it will have new black body at least and bunch of features to control) ideas I’d like to add, but I’m really happy to start. #process@dsllsn

Project: Aumo One of the best things about today: if a tool doesn’t fit, you can just build your own. I got tired of translators ignoring tone and grammatical gender in conversations. For many languages, those details completely change the context. Aumo is a simple voice-first translator built for real conversations, with translations that preserve each speaker’s tone and grammatical gender. It doesn’t just translate words. It translates how you want to sound. Public beta soon. #process@dsllsn

Project: Sip Sip App Sometimes design comes from a product idea. Sometimes the whole product grows out of one random visual detail. #process@dsllsn

Dirk van der Kooij, 2012 Recycled plastic, LED lighting €6500 The Satellite was originally designed as a shell to envelope and showcase its humble light source. Three standard-sized fluorescent rings composed the heart of the lamp.

#process@dsllsn Project: Sip Sip App At least vibe coding makes it feel like the amount of polish in a project depends on your patience, not a developer’s availability.

The low barrier to entry in vibe coding lets designers work independently and keep refining their interfaces as much as they want—adding small, subtle, but genuinely delightful touches. Hours is my way of getting back into coding and trying out new tools. https://apps.apple.com/app/id6760683802 React to this message if you’d like to see more of the process.

Recycle Steel Tray, PUEBCO $28.00 Since it is made by reusing industrial materials, there may be rust, scratches, dirt, etc. In addition, paint may remain. You can't choose.
