This TV
Bouroullec brothers’ Serif TV for Samsung “does not belong to the world of technology”. As renowned French designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec launched their first electronics product this flat television for Samsung that is outlined by an I-shaped frame is an ode to a single letterform. Aptly named Serif TV it is a result of a collaboration between the designers – better known for their furniture, homeware and installations – and the Korean electronics brand's head of visual display design Yun-Je Kang. The product has an I-shaped profile, broadening at the bottom to form a sturdy base and at the top to create a small shelf. These protrusions give the product the name Serif, after the typography term for the small lines on the end of strokes in letters or symbols.

This necklace
A graphic designer by trade, Jennifer Murse infuses her line of laser-cut acrylic jewelry with an acute attention to detail and a sly sense of humor. Often used as a placeholder in publishing, the nonsensical Latin phrase, “Lorem Ipsum” may be dummy text, but the Lorem Ipsum Necklace is a smart example of plastique*’s singular approach to accessories.
