tm:rw Is Reimagining the Tech Retail Space in NYC
Founded by Nathalie Bernce and Jacov Nacktailer, the all-new, three-floor shopping concept invites customers to experience cutting-edge products from start-ups to the world's largest consumer conglomerates in a highly immersive environment. Designed in collaboration with Harry Nuriev, the space allows visitors to test out the most up-to-date tech through an ever-evolving lineup of activations and collaborations across several unique spaces.
The shop, which features the world's largest 3D retail hologram by HYPERVSN, as well as one of only three Transparent 4K Smart TVs in the world, the LG OLED T, is divided into several sections. 'The Playhouse,' for instance, is a funhouse for e-sports, VR, and video game testing; 'The Studio' offers a living-room karaoke experience by Vizio MicMe; 'The Barber Shop' houses tech-forward mirrors and state-of-the-art grooming products, and 'The Sanctuary' features a best-in-class home audio experience with various speaker systems and music-related devices.
'tm:rw was designed to evoke curiosity and adventure,' said Bernce, the company's CEO. 'This is a space where innovation enhances—not replaces—the human experience. We've built a home for those who think differently, and a destination that invites discovery.'
The founders explained that the store is the culmination of almost ten years of reshaping retail stores worldwide, including those for Selfridges in London, KaDeWe in Berlin, and Rinascente in Rome. Their goal with the shop is to create a stage where 'concepts from emerging creators andiconic brands alike can be explored, shared, and brought to life.'
'We aim to inspire,' said Jordan Traxler, Global Head of Marketing. 'What sets tm:rw apart isn't just our carefully curated product offering, it's the elevated treatment of each customer and brand partner alike. tm:rw isn't about spectacle for its own sake; it's about making what's next feel personal, meaningful, and memorable. How does this product enrich my life?'
tm:rw officially opens on Tuesday, July 29, in the Candler Building. Take a first look inside the store via the gallery above.

Tour The East London Office of an Architecture Communications Studio
In one of a few quiet spaces in East London's Shoreditch, architecture communications studioSALThas opened the doors to its new office space, which has been designed byTHISS Studio. With a brief to use 'as much reused material as possible', the design studio set about creating an open plan office that could transition into an event space or photography studio, with waste-saving solutions at its core. Expert-level scavenging was employed, with anything no longer needed being rehomed. The giant tables around which the space is centered are made from old steel catering tables, with the legs cut down to size and placed on casters. A worktop was crafted from leftover cork and white American oak trim – both saved from landfill. Rather than having a fixed meeting room, spaces are created with a huge linen curtain by London-based textile designerGeorgia Bosson, who sourced the end-of-roll fabric from an Irish mill. If not made from scratch from scrap material, furniture is second-hand, such as the bookcase shelving, which came via Gumtree and was once used in a butcher's. Colour is introduced across the columns and beams, which were coated in a rust-toned hue by sustainable paint brand Bleo. In a nod to the building's history, the floors have simply been sanded back and sealed with a matte varnish. 'We shared a commitment to minimising the use of virgin materials, and turning that ideal into reality required a collaborative, flexible design approach,' said Tamsin Hanke, Director at THISS Studio. 'The constraints actually became opportunities—introducing productive friction that sparked creativity and innovation, rather than assuming all materials were readily available.' 'Our new space is as much for our community as it is for SALT,' said Celeste Bolte, Founding Director at SALT. Head to the gallery above to take a look around.

Feel Like Saying 'Screw You' to the Economy? Try Revenge Saving
You can't control the economy, but you don't have to let it derail your financial security. Prostock-Studio/Getty Images The economy sucks lately. Constantly changing tariffs, rampant layoffs and a possible recession have me feeling like my financial security is out of my control. That's why I'm here for a new money trend: revenge saving. Revenge saving lets me reclaim control by doing what I can to combat economic uncertainty. And, I've gotta admit, it's kind of fun to channel my worry and frustrations into a quest for vengeance. Read more: Bracing for a Recession? These Accounts Can Keep Your Money Safe What is revenge saving? You may be familiar with revenge spending, or splurging after a period of hardship or deprivation. Many of us did it after the pandemic. I emerged from lockdown eager to make up for lost time. I booked a slew of dinners with friends and a haircut at an upscale salon to correct months of DIY home trims. Revenge spending was a way to regain control and relieve the pressure after going through tough times. Revenge saving can do the same thing, but it's much healthier for your finances. It shifts the focus from enjoying the here and now to building a buffer for the future. By tapping into the fear and uncertainty many of us are feeling about the economy, it can give you the extra motivational boost you need to stick to your financial goals. Personally, I find something deliciously satisfying about reframing savings not as a chore or a sacrifice, but as a "screw you!" to economic uncertainty and the high cost of living. Take that, economy! Building a cash cushion is a must at any time, but it's especially crucial now. In addition to the usual things that could derail your finances, like a sudden medical bill or pricey home repair, the threat of a job loss and runaway inflation have many of us on shaky ground. An emergency fund can help you weather these challenges without forcing you to rely on high-interest debt like credit cards or loans. And every little bit you can set aside helps. Even if your budget is tight, there are manageable steps you can take to boost your savings rate. How to revenge save like a pro Ready to take your vengeance on economic stress? Here's how to do it. 🤑 Harness the power of compound interest One of the secrets of savvy saving is compound interest. With compounding, you earn interest on the money you've deposited plus any interest you've earned so far. It can supercharge your savings, but only if you put your cash in the right account. The national average savings rate is a measly 0.38%, but today's top deposit accounts can offer rates 10 times that amount (or more). If you're building an emergency fund, look for a high-yield savings account with an APY above 3%. Your interest rate is variable and could change when the Federal Reserve starts cutting interest rates, but you'll still earn more over time than you would with a traditional savings account, and you can access your funds anytime if you need them. If you already have money earmarked for an expense with a specific timeline, like a new car or a home improvement, a certificate of deposit is a better fit. CD rates are fixed, so your interest rate won't go down, but you must keep your money in the account for the full term or face early withdrawal penalties. You also can't add money after you've opened the account, so you'll need to have all the cash on hand now. ↪️ Put your savings on autopilot I've struggled with remembering to set aside money each month. Sometimes I've just forgotten to do it, and sometimes I've overspent and had little left at the end of the month. Automating my savings has been a huge help. I set up an automated transfer every payday from my checking account to my savings account, so a set amount is put away before I can touch it. 🏆 Do a savings challenge Savings challenges are a fun way to gamify savings. Whether you try a no-buy month or another savings challenge, it can inspire you to find new ways to save and reframe your relationship with money. Take back your power The economy may be out of your hands, but you still have control over what you do with your money. By saving as much as you can now, you can make it easier to ride out whatever the economy has in store for you next. And that feels pretty awesome.
