This is nothing but interesting in this series of creative and surreal images show animals doing twisted yoga poses. Creative artworks of wild animals was done by Paris based artist Bruno Pontirol.  Check out more of his work on his Instagram.

These wooden floating shelf features hidden integrated magnets that hold metal keys. The magnetic key holder shelf ($50) was designed by Meisch Made and can hold seven keys. Mounts easily with invisible keyhole hardware; two screws is all you need. Made with American Black Walnut and powerful rare-earth magnets that hold plenty more weight than just keys.

This concept mouse is something I would have in my home computer setup. It was inspired by the iconic design of the Eames Lounge Chair, Shane Chen's lounge mouse elevates the humble input device. True to the original, the base is formed from bent plywood with a cutout on the bottom for a black plastic plate housing the battery, optical sensor, and power switch. The top surface is appropriately covered with black leather, save for the scroll wheel, providing a luxurious feel fitting for its inspiration. While it remains a concept, there isn't yet any plans for a real-world example but I'm hoping it does!

This home is inspired by both the water and the forest, the Turlersee Lake House is a modern tribute to its surroundings. The home is defined by its dramatic curved profile created by a wall that gradually transforms into a roof. The seamless transition gives the illusions that the home is organically emerging from the water's surface, almost like a wave, its concrete facade gives the exterior a sculpted appearance. Subtle nods to the landscape continue on the interior with timber-clad walls. An arc of floor-to-ceiling windows and a glazed roof flood the interior with natural light while immersing the living spaces in views of the forest and lake.

When You Think of Home is a creative project that enlists artists around the world to create unique posters to share their perspective of home. The posters benefit Acres of Love, a nonprofit that houses orphaned kids in South Africa. These are prints with a purpose and a ton to check out.

The Mini Transparent Speaker ($550)  from Stockholm-based Transparent Sound designed a splendid minimal speaker. The single-piece aluminum frame has side panels of tempered glass, so as to put the dual full-range drivers on display. A built-in amp provides power, built-in Bluetooth provides a wireless option, and "True Wireless" support lets you pair two units together for a broader soundstage. There are a volume control and an input on the front, and a compartment in the bottom that provides both USB power and an input for an Echo, Sonos Hub, Chromecast, or similar additional wireless device, giving you the ability to upgrade the system as needed.

Do you want a smaller, cheaper version of the Nintendo Switch($200)? Now it's here! It does make a few trade-offs to reach its size and price point. Most notably, it won't dock for display on your TV, its Joy-Con controllers aren't detachable, and its screen measures 5.5 inches instead of 6.2. That said, it should also feel more sturdy thanks to the lack of removable pieces, has longer battery life, is slightly lighter — 0.61 lbs versus 0.88 lbs — and yet is still compatible with the vast majority of Switch titles, making it a great entry-level option. Launching in yellow, gray, and turquoise on September 20.

Sony's WH-1000XM3 ($230) are considered the best noise-canceling headphones on the market. Now they're bringing the same tech to the wireless earbud space. The WF-1000XM3 are powered by a QN1e processor, a sibling to the WH's QN1. Dual microphones. One feed-forward and one feed-back to help get rid of unwanted noises, while the 0.24" driver creates amazing full sound. You'll get about six hours of battery life per charge, with a total of 24 available with the charging case, and they come in silver or black.

The 1982 Commodore 64 is making a comeback. It not an old replica either. The C64 Home Computer ($140) houses its internals inside a full-size keyboard, letting you run any software compatible with the original C64 or Commodore VIC-20. In addition, it includes a Games Carousel mode with a micro-switch joystick and 64 pre-loaded titles. It connects via HDMI to modern monitors and TVs, and has a USB port for software updates and loading your own applications.

Released in 1970, JBL's L100 ($4,000) became a classic both for its sound and its eye-catching design. The L100 Classic is updated with modern components. Behind the removable, iconic Quadrex foam grille sits a 1-inch titanium dome tweeter, a 5-inch pure-pulp cone mid-range driver, and a 12-inch pure-pulp woofer with a bass-reflex enclosure and front-firing port. The result is a speaker that can hold its own against contemporary options, with a design that pairs perfectly with vintage pieces, particularly when paired with the JS-120 stand.

This reprinting of the NASA Graphics Standards Manual ($79) celebrates this outstanding identity system, which was used from 1975 to 1992. Recreated for public use for the first time from the personal copies of the original designers, Richard Danne and Bruce Blackburn, it covers the logo, placement, color schemes, and other design standards that helped capture the imagination of a generation and make the American space agency a lasting, iconic part of our legacy of exploration. Included are scans of Danne's personal copy of the original manual, a forward from Danne, an essay by Christopher Bonanos, reproductions of the original NASA 35mm slide presentation, and scans of the 'Managers Guide', a follow up booklet distributed by NASA. Each copy is individually wrapped in a foil static shield, adding even more nostalgic rocket-age flair to this iconic design reference.

The Playdate ($149) is an all-new handheld gaming system, that I'm sure you'll want to get your hands on. It has a 400 × 240 black and white display, a d-pad, A+B buttons, a pause button, and, most interestingly, an analog crank that flips out from the side, providing a completely novel control element. The hardware was built in collaboration with Stockholm-based Teenage Engineering, while the games will be delivered wirelessly once a week. The games will be developed by world-class talent. The system will include the first season (12 weeks) of games and will be available for pre-order later this year, with shipments beginning in 2020.

It was made in the good old USA with a sustainable sourced rift walnut plinth and weighing in at only 11lbs. The U-Turn Orbit Special ($549) is a beautiful centerpiece for any home and audio setup. The turntable not only slick but also takes the sound up a notch, with a clear acrylic platter that provides detailed playback and an external belt drive that eliminates motor noise and ensures speed consistency. Features include an OA2 gimbal tonearm, a cue lever for easy tonearm operation, a built-in pre-amp, and an award-winning Ortofon 2M Red cartridge with an elliptical diamond stylus. The Orbit Special also comes with an AC adapter, RCA cables, a dust cover, a felt mat, and a 2-year warranty from U-Turn

Google has just combined its Nest and Home divisions, creating Google Nest that encompasses all the company's smart home efforts. It does makes sense that their first new product would be a combination of both Google and Nest. The Google Nest Home Max Smart Display ($229) combines elements of the Google Home Max speaker, Google Home Hub display, and Nest Camera into a single package. It has a 10" HD display, a 6.5-megapixel camera, stereo speakers with a dedicated sub-woofer, and Google Assistant built in. Thus it can act as a controller for other smart devices in the house, a video chat station, a speaker, and if you want, a mini TV. Shipping later this summer 2019. Check out more info on Google.

Content and shared content mostly comes in vertical form which makes it a little more difficult for horizontal screens. Samsung has an T.V. that can solve that problem. Samsung aims to fix this with the Sero ($1,600). This 43-inch QLED display sits on a floor stand that allows it to rotate from horizontal to vertical as needed. NFC makes beaming content from a phone or tablet simple, and built-in 4.1-channel, 60W speakers provide surprisingly robust sound. It launches exclusively in South Korea this May. Would you want one of these T.V.'s?

The Capcom Home Arcade ($290) touts its full-size controller as a selling point. Indeed, the logo-shaped console has competition-class Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT sticks and OBSF buttons built-in for a pleasantly authentic arcade experience. It includes 16 classic arcade titles, including Street Fighter II, Final Fight, Ghouls 'n Ghosts, and Mega Man: The Power Battle. It also offers the single-cord convenience of HDMI and has built-in WiFi for connection to a worldwide leaderboard. You can pre-order now and will launch October 25, 2019.
