Light up your porch with Chester Outdoor furniture

Add as a preferred source on Google

Design Within Reach (DWR) is giving outdoor furniture a whole new look and feel with their Chester Lit collection. The seating assortment includes a Chesterfield sofa and armchair that come with a light fixture installed inside the chairs. Access to the light fixture is provided via an opening on the bottom of the furniture. The light comes with a ten-foot cord that can plug into a standard 120-volt outlet and, according to DWR, is UL rated. 

The collection was designed for DWR by Italian designers Raffaella Mangiarotti and Matteo Bazzicalupo, popular designers who have work featured in the Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection. 

According to DWR, the chairs come with a drainage system that helps remove water that would normally build-up on outdoor furniture.

Fraimic’s E Ink art frame generates art from your voice and looks incredible doing it
Fraimic's AI art canvas is one of the most thoughtfully designed smart frames I've come across.

We’ve seen a lot of "smart art frames" at CES over the years. Most of them feel like glorified digital photo frames in turtlenecks. However, there’s one that feels genuinely different: Fraimic, and I say that as someone deeply skeptical of this category.

The pitch appears quite compelling at first. Speak a prompt into the device, and its built-in mic sends the command to OpenAI's GPT Image 2.0, which then generates full-color artwork that lands on a Spectra 6 E Ink display.

Google is rolling out a fresh batch of updates to Gemini for Home and the Google Home app, and the headline change is one that could get more users to try out automations. Version 4.20 of the Google Home app adds a handful of pre-built routines to the Automations tab, so instead of building one from scratch, you can pick one and turn it on with a tap.
