Lifestyle man: high-tech and decor for the living room and office

High-tech that's made to be seen

The high-tech section features devices that are displayed rather than hidden away. Each item is chosen for its function as well as its design.

Before buying, consider the room where it will be placed: its size, lighting, and the distance between the sofa and the wall.

Projector: how to choose wisely

With a projector ViewSonic, a light wall turns into a large screen for movies or matches. The darker the room, the better the image contrast.

Check the projection distance listed on the specs: it determines the size of the image you will get based on the available space.

DAB+ Radio and Bluetooth

Sangean has been making radios since 1974, and its Sangean models receive both DAB+ radio and FM. Some tabletop models add a CD player and Bluetooth, allowing you to stream music from your phone.

For an office, a compact radio provides background sound without taking up space like a speaker. On the speaker side, MOB designs Bluetooth speakers with a look that’s meant to be seen.

Design Clocks and Alarms

Karlsson offers a variety of wall clocks and desk clocks: metal dials, self-assembly numbers, and flip models like a display board.

The square metal design alarm clock fits on a bedside table or desk. Check the specs to ensure the movement is silent before placing it in a bedroom.

Candles and Home Fragrances

In the home fragrance section, large candles in metal containers and Wellmark oil burners create a warm ambiance in a living room.

Acqua Del Garda offers diffusers and scented waters with citrus, rose, or jasmine notes. Save the stronger scents for passage areas, and keep the softer ones for the bedroom.

Home Decoration

In the home decoration section, Message in the Bulb slips a glowing word into a tabletop bulb. Pixel Corner sells DIY mosaic kits that can be framed on an office wall.

Setting up a Home Office

• A simple wall clock, visible from your workspace.
• A compact radio for discreet background sound.
• A candle or diffuser for the evening, away from screens and paperwork.

Keep your desk surface clear: one or two chosen items are enough to personalize the space without disrupting work.

A high-tech or decorative gift for men

No need to know a size for a successful man’s gift: a Sangean radio, a Karlsson alarm, or a Pixel Corner kit are all liked without the need for trying on.

For additional options, check the men's accessories, and find all manufacturers in the men’s lifestyle brands.

Wall Clock: which model for which room?

Above a desk, a simple metal dial clock remains readable without drawing attention during work. In a living room, a large model with engraved numbers becomes a standout decorative piece.

In the kitchen, a clear dial with large dark numbers can be read from the other side of the room. Self-assembly models allow you to space out the numbers on the wall to your desired size.

Setting up a simple cinema corner

A projector and a Bluetooth speaker are enough for a home cinema without any renovation. Place the projector on a low piece of furniture facing a light wall, and the speaker near the screen for sound to come from the image.

Thick curtains or closed shutters significantly improve the contrast of the image.

Fragrances and Scented Waters

Acqua Del Garda offers its citrus, verbena, or floral notes as diffusers for the home and as eau de toilette. Using the same fragrance family in the entrance and living room creates a cohesive impression.

The Wellmark oil burners release a scent through the heat of a candle: place them on a stable surface, away from curtains.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the men's lifestyle section include clothing?

No, it only contains items, from electronics to candles. For clothing, head to the men's ready-to-wear section.

What distance is needed for a projector?

It depends on the model and the desired size of the image. The product sheet indicates the necessary distance: measure the space between the device and the wall before making a choice.

Can a DAB+ radio also receive FM?

Most models can receive both, which is useful where digital coverage is incomplete.

Why does a candle hollow out in the center?

Because it was extinguished too early the first time it was lit. Allow the wax to melt across the entire width the first time, and trim the wick after each use.
