Now and again, there’s something that solves a problem so effectively that we wonder how we ever managed to work without this solution. Gabriel Kornreich is a German-Argentinian designer in Barcelona. He designed Linea to make it easier to read your laptop screen, work better on the keyboard and ventilate it to prevent if from running too hot. All this with a simple piece of wire, bent into shape and sheathed in plastic at the angles.

Gabriel makes Linea at home in his kitchen and sells it via gabrielkornreich. It only costs 18 Euros plus postage.

As my colleagues Johannes, Matthias and Ali at Bremen University demonstrate, it even looks cool.
