I am sure you are aware that an unpleasant issue in relation to crypto-currencies is forgetting your password. It is assumed that up to 35% of all bitcoins that have ever been created, have been irrevocably lost because a password has been forgotten or lost. This basically means that if you can’t remember your password, then bad luck, you won’t have access to your money.

Benjamin Hubert and his Layer design agency has developed a personal crypto-currency storage device, which cannot be attacked or lost. It is still a concept for the time being.

The futuristically designed Trove designer crypto-wallet. How would you imagine it?

The Trove is a portable deluxe device providing a method for storing and administering digital currency for daily expenses and trading. The device consists of 4 parts, including intelligent security systems, which makes it less susceptible to an attack by hackers.

The deluxe device, which stores crypt-money off-line, is shaped like a flat coin with a diameter of two centimetres. The device is fitted with an electrocardiogram (ECG) scanner. It is unlocked when you press your finger to the front and it uses the so-called ECG signature, a biometric method of verification, which recognizes the unique pattern of the user’s heart as a key. The device then communicates with the user’s smartphone through Bluetooth and enables payment transactions to be made. This method means that no numerical input codes for crypto-money can be lost or forgotten. The Trove consist of replaceable, luxuriously fashionable “carriers” and also a simple by intuitive application and induction charging stand.

Use of unusual materials

The crypto wallet can look like a watch or sometimes like a tablet and is made from interesting materials. It is embellished with black and silver aluminium. The entire device is enclosed in volcanic rock with a polycarbonate container, which is powered through a USB-C port and inductively charges the coin. It has many uses, it can be magnetically joined to a bracelet or can be a deluxe decoration in the form of a necklace or brooch. You will be surprised by its size, which is only 3 mm x 20 mm.

Ořechovka - Jaroslav Vondrák's villa

In the midst of work

During his relatively short life he has managed to create a few original and luxurious buildings. At the beginning of the last century an open tender was published by councillors of the city of Prague for an urban development of Prague 6 - Střešovice. The winning project originated from the pen of architectural duo, Vondrák and Šenkýř. It was aimed to prevent uniformity of residential buildings. That is why it was supposed to alternate detached and terraced houses, which were to contain two and three-room apartments. They have managed to create a unique complex, the first major post-war residential colony.

House of a great architect

Jaroslav Vondrák built his own detached villa at Západní Street in the style of expressive modernism, a significant feature of the construction is its asymmetric design. The construction material is divided into three sections reminiscent of fanciful ships which are inserted into one another. The construction is dominated by an originally designed chimney which looks like a rudder. The entrance was later on, during the 30´s, roofed by glass panels. The villa reacts to the spirit of its architect, his courage to experiment, daring to make a stir.

Vondrák´s take on beauty of bricks

By that we mean his buildings in Prague-Bubeneč. A brick as such is in architectural terminology a fundamental building block of sides with that are in perfect proportion; 4:2:1. This probably does not sound like much. But if this is merged with architect´s vision, the result is amazing. Jaroslav Vondrák simply could do wonders with bricks; it is evident by the luxurious residential homes on the corner of Verdun and Charle de Gaulle.

The central building of the luxurious district of Ořechovka

The district´s urban style is that of an English garden town. In the central outlay of the square Vondrák designed commercial and cultural facilities of the local villa development. It was a building which included a large theatre and dance hall, a cinema as well as a restaurant with a café. It is a stylish connection of a luxurious art nouveau and Cubism; in unexpected interplay.

It should be added that Jaroslav Vondrák was a gifted student of Jan Kotěra. He managed always to marry his acquired knowledge with his talent and remains to this day to be a recognized, exceptional architect.
