You Can Make Your Walls Look Like a Metro Station’s Ceiling | Colored Polycarbonate Sheet

The living room at 1640-1641 Fairfield Beach Road opens to a great room with a coffered ceiling, a stone fireplace and Brazilian cherry floors.

Coupe-inspired premium crossovers aim for a suave appearance, but the design often ends up looking awkward by trying too hard to mix utility with the sweeping rear of a true two-door. However, Land Rover’s new 2018 Range Rover Velar proves that fabulous styling is possible in the segment. The new vehicle will make a big premiere at the Geneva Motor Show and will also be on display in April at the New York Auto Show. Sales in the United States will start this summer.

The XSLATE L10, however, is an elegant device that exudes good industrial design. That isn’t easy with tablets where the goal is to provide a good display in the thinnest, lightest package possible. The L10 communicates toughness with its materials, coloring and integrated bumpers and protection. It looks functional but never boring. But how much toughness did Xplore bake in? A lot.

“Tranquility abounds as you listen to the relaxing sounds of the garden waterfall,” says the homeowner. “It is so peaceful here.”

I asked Jeff Williams, the senior vice-president, if the Apple Watch seemed more purely Ive’s than previous company products. After a silence of twenty-five seconds, during which Apple made fifty thousand dollars in profit, he said, “Yes.”

The company’s process, which is enabled by almost limitless funds, and by sometimes merciless pressure on suppliers and manufacturers, also provides a layer of commercial armor plating: an Apple object is “manufactured in a way that makes it harder to copy,” Paola Antonelli said. “That’s the genius. It’s not only the formal effect.” When, in 2007, Robert Brunner first saw a MacBook’s “unibody” housing—made, unprecedentedly, out of a milled block of aluminum—it was a “mind-blowing epiphany,” he said. Apple “had decided that this was the experience they wanted, so they went out and bought ten thousand C.N.C. milling machines.” (Apple didn’t confirm that figure, but Brunner was not being hyperbolic.) Soon after the iPhone débuted, Brunner said, Ammunition was approached by “a very large Korean company” to create a touchscreen competitor: “They wanted us to do it in six weeks.” He laughed. “We were, like, ‘You don’t realize, this was years. This was years of a lot of very good people.’ ”

The all-new Range Rover Velar is both instantly recognizable as a Range Rover and radical in its interpretation of the brand’s DNA. The mid-size luxury SUV is defined by a formal, powerful size that is beautifully balanced by perfectly optimized proportions. The large wheels – up to 22-inches in diameter – help to define the stunning silhouette while further enhancing the vehicle’s dramatic presence.

The orchard’s wood planks stretched out in front of him, thick and wide, with raw edges. When the owner poured acetone over one board, its winding, dark brown grain floated like magic to the surface—just as it would look when it was sanded and varnished.

A friend of a friend just finished his version of this, and it looks pretty cool. He turned an old pool table into this, but with an custom map changer that the DM can modify on a whim. This table fits around eight people, has cup holders, everything this has. But this has tablets set up to look through the characters’ perspectives. The only downfall is that the interactive view tablets cannot be moved, and the IV can only hold four players and a DM. Cost him from about $500 to $1000. Exspensive, but oh so cool

The basic L10 tablet is visually almost identical to Xplore’s older and existing 10-inch class tablets, but that’s misleading as the L10 is a far more powerful design. A trio of Intel 8th generation "Kaby Lake Refresh" Core processor provide the kind of performance many field professional need for complex work. If that’s not needed, a low end Intel Pentium-based version is still as fast as the old high-end Xplore XSLATE B10. And despite its considerable ruggedness thanks to a tough magnesium alloy frame, polycarbonate housing, and elastomer corner and edge protection, the handy tablet weighs under three pounds. With a footprint barely larger than an iPad, the XSLATE L10 fits virtually anywhere.
