As summer is coming soon and you had got all the six numbers right, you will fall in love with this daring Strand Craft 166 superyacht by Gray Design. The magic 50-m vessel is fully equipped with a 5 double suites, a lounge, a library, a hidden jacuzzi deck and overall a retractable flybridge. It ensures the boat can keep the cleanest possible lines and its sleek profile since both flybridge and radar mast retreat into the skin of the yacht when not in use. Read the rest of this entry »

I have always been fascinated by architecture, notably by spectacular buildings… What is more, Frank Gehry is definitely one of my favorite architects for his unceasing ability to innovate and to come up with amazing projects and turn them into impressive realizations!

This is the latest projects designed by Frank Gehry to build a 870-feet tall residential tower as a singular addition to the iconic Manhattan skyline (in other world, it would be the tallest tower in the Western Hemisphere). For his first residential commission in New York City, master architect Frank Gehry has reinterpreted the design language of the classic Manhattan high-rise with undulating waves of stainless steel that reflect the changing light, transforming the appearance of the building throughout the day ! Gehry’s distinctive aesthetic is also carried across the interior residential and amenity spaces with custom furnishings and installations. Feel free to check out the pics of the project after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Designated as the most sophisticated bike ever, the “Beast” by the Hungarian firm M55 drives me crazy !! At first glance, you necessarily wonder if it is actually a bike or a motocycle… It is a bike indeed and its design is amazingly overwhelming! You must feel like riding a monster.

Yet, the M55 is also a technological beast: it is comprised of an impressing hybrid motor to replace the strength of your legs if need be. Prepare yourself, its full battery allows you to ride for 120 kms and up to 60km/h! No time to get bored on this wonderful machine…

You wanna see this myth with your own eyes ? It is currently being presented at Top Marques Monaco (Grimaldi Forum, 14th-17th April 2011).  Read the rest of this entry »

We discovered the fabulous brand Want Les Essentiels De La Vie a few weeks ago during (Capsule) show in Paris and we were all very (very) enthusiastic about the leather goods they produce. Although I loved the wallets and portfolios, the most striking item was this iPad case with the gold-silver zip which is the brands signature. The quality is simply unmatched on the market of iPad cases but yes, it will cost you as much as the iPad itself. Available at Oki-ni. More pics after the break. Read the rest of this entry »
