In a 2001 interview, the prolific maker—who died in 2011—discussed growing up alongside modernism and her push against the movement’s insistence on simplicity.Welcome to From the Archive, a look back at stories from Dwell’s past. This story previously appeared in the February 2001 issue. Eva Zeisel has an opinion on Putin. Also on Totem, Hillary, and Beauty. That is, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, because she follows international politics; Totem, the New York design store, because she follows design politics; Hillary, the public figure without the last name, because she follows domestic politics; and Beauty, the life force, because she is wise. She also has strong opinions about the design...

The sleeve can’t charge your laptop. | Image: Razer Razer has announced an expensive new laptop sleeve that's not made from an exotic animal or encrusted in diamonds. What potentially justifies paying $129.99 for Razer's Laptop Sleeve 16" are the pair of wireless charging pads integrated into its cover flap. While you're out and about, it can protect a laptop up to 16 inches in size, and when you find a remote spot to sit down and work, you can also plonk down and charge your phone and earbuds.
The padded sleeve has a plush microfiber lining and reinforced edges to help absorb some of the shock of an accidental drop, but it's thin enough to stick underneath your laptop to protect its undersi …

The Cricut Explore 5 will be available in taupe and teal color options. | Image: Cricut Cricut has announced new versions of two of its cutting machines that could appeal to crafters struggling with limited space for their hobby. The new Cricut Explore 5 is 30 percent "more compact" than the Explore 4 that launched a year ago, without reducing the size or types of materials the machine can handle. The new Cricut Joy 2 is an even smaller alternative to the Explore 5 and adds the ability to precisely slice pre-printed materials so you can finally open that Etsy sticker shop.

HBO Max's password-sharing crackdown is going to get a lot bigger. During an earnings call on Thursday, Warner Bros. Discovery streaming head JB Perrette said a global expansion "will start in 2026," as reported earlier by The Wrap.
Warner Bros.

In theory having a single device that combines the features of multiple dedicated devices is a great idea, saving a lot of space, time and money. However, in reality it mostly means that these features now conflict with each other, force us to deal with more complex devices that don’t last nearly as long, and become veritable vampires for your precious attention.

A Thousand Mad Things “Promises”
A Thousand Mad Things’ William Barradale wears his icy synth pop and goth influences on his sleeve, to the extent that his most recent singles sound like direct homages to Depeche Mode and The Cure. A lot of artists aim for this, but Barradale actually nails it on a craft level, emulating their particular approaches to melody rather than just over-indexing on the surface level aesthetics like most cold wave acts. “Promises” offsets the jauntiness of “The Lovecats” with an absolutely frigid synth arrangement, with Barradale singing wry lyrics about a torturous breakup in a classic handsome new wave voice. He’s not reinventing any wheels here, but he is making an...

From weatherproof jackets and pants to puffers, gloves, and socks, WIRED’s winter sports experts have got you covered.
The USB-C port has become a defacto connectivity standard for modern devices, largely supplanting the ugly mess of barrel jacks and micro USB connectors that once cursed us. While their reliability is good, they don’t last forever, and can be a pain to replace in most devices if they do fail. However, a new part from JAE Electronics could change that.
The problem with replacing USB connectors in most hardware is that they’re soldered in place. To swap them out, you have to master both desoldering and soldering leads of a rather fine pitch. It’s all rather messy. In the interest of satisfying the EU’s new Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), JAE Electronics has developed a USB-C...

Automattic, the company behind the popular blogging platforms WordPress.com and Tumblr, has been documenting DMCA takedown abuse for well over a decade. Over the years, the company has highlighted how automated systems flood platforms with inaccurate or incomplete notices. These errors and mistakes are par for the course now, and Automattic even launched its own Hall of Shame to ‘honor’ the worst offenders.
In recent years, it appeared that takedown issues had stabilized somewhat. However, the latest transparency report, covering July through December 2025, shows that challenges remain.

The guitarist Jimi Hendrix had a unique sound which has influenced countless musicians over the decades. He achieved it through mastery not only of his instrument, but of the complex feedback relationship between amplifier, environment, and guitar — coupled with a series of effects pedals including some then-unique ones made for him. Musical commentators have pored over his work for decades, but a recent piece in IEEE Spectrum is particularly interesting as it examines things from a technical perspective.
It centers around an electrical simulation of Hendrix’s effects chain, and makes an assertion that’s obvious on consideration but not the usual take on a Hendrix performance; that in his hands it became...

Dans les années 2000, Sony intégrait des lecteurs de MiniDisc un peu partout. Mais saviez-vous qu’il existait une ligne de PC portables avec un lecteur de MiniDisc intégré ? C’est la série des Vaio NV, qui proposait un enregistreur NetMD optionnel, dans une baie d’extension. Bon, le Vaio NV (quelle que soit la version) est assez onéreux, donc j’ai pris un modèle vendu à bas prix (un NV55E) avec quelques défauts. Pas d’adaptateur secteur (mais c’est du standard), pas de disque dur (mais c’est du standard en PATA) et un écran qui ne fonctionne pas. J’ai eu la surprise tout de même d’avoir le lecteur de NetMD (j’attendais le lecteur de disquettes). Après avoir démarré sur la...
La Présidente moldave, Maia Sandu, est souvent apparue dans les médias ces derniers mois suite à sa nomination par The Telegraph comme World Leader of the Year et ensuite pour ses déclarations sur un potentiel référendum d'unification entre la Moldavie et la Roumanie. Encore plus récemment, elle a été proposée aux prix Nobel par un membre du parlement de la Norvège, une nomination qu'elle a refusé, affirmant que les prisonniers de guerre ukrainiens en sont les véritables méritants. Mais qui est vraiment Maia Sandu ? Et que peuvent apprendre d'elle les autres dirigeants européens face aux pressions extérieures et aux défis de la résilience démocratique ? Une carrière au service du...

Over the last few centuries, behavioral psychologists have documented all kinds of ways of modifying our actions and the actions of various animals. From the famous Skinner boxes to many modern video game mechanics, animals and humans alike can learn through the addition or subtraction of various rewards and punishments. And it doesn’t only impact simple actions either; [Everything is Hacked] took this idea to the extreme, using painful electric shocks to teach himself to avoid making blunders while playing chess.
