Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Could the gothic or spiritual trend, seen in movies, books, and fashion, have finally spilled over to interior design? Judging from Nendo's Ghost Stories exhibit, it certainly seems that way.

For a special display at the New York Museum of Arts and Design, the Japanese creators behind Nendo Design have assembled some of their newest items, including lamps, vases, and chairs with trompe-l'oeil effects.

The Fade-Out Chair, for example, looks as if floating in space, and the Phantom-waves (pictured) create the illusion of being divided into segments, which results in flowers or other plants kept in those vases 'spookily' going through those segments.

Nendo founder Oki Sato has accumulated 45 international design awards over the course of his career.

Ghost Stories will be on show at the MADProjects Gallery, curated by design icon Karim Rashid, which focuses on emerging trends and innovation in design. It will run from October 27 through January 10.
