NEWS IN DESIGN

You may not be familiar with designer Nicola Formichetti but you are very likely to have seen at least one of his works. After all, he was the brains behind Lady Gaga’s infamous meat dress. Nicola is preparing for a new venture now though, after being named as the first ever artistic director of Diesel watches. Mind you, the timepiece brand is no stranger to unique designs. This Diesel Unisex Digital White Resin Strap Watch instantly catches the eye due to the fact that its face features time that appears to lie on its side. The watch’s white plastic case and rubber strap present a simple yet effective style that is extremely modern too.  Read the rest of this entry »

The Jordan Dominate Pro TD is a sleeeeek football cleat inspired by the new Air Jordan XX8. Nike’s innovative technology (Dynamic Fit Technology, Lunarlon midsole…)  and this crazy minimal design. I would play football just as a pretext to buy this piece of art.   Read the rest of this entry »

If you feel like streets have become a jungle or that going to work is as adventurous as going to war, I suggest you consider a Jeep Wrangler pimped by CEC Wheels.

A ferocious car for everyday pimpers !!  Read the rest of this entry »

I’m going to walk more than 40 kms tomorrow so I figured I could make myself a little pleasure today by posting the 2013 Aston Martin Vanquish’s furious face here. The 6-liter V12 and 565 hp beast breaks the 0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds. I bet this sounds just fine and I think this would look great parked in front of my house! Read the rest of this entry »

As I was having a drink at Jefrey’s (Montorgueuil district in Paris), I noticed these side tables on which was and found them fascinating. I learnt that each Habibi side table (from £850 to £1,395) is entirely unique, handmade and truly valuable. I want mine in my living room… Available here Read the rest of this entry »

What a better way to motivate you for work than having a beautiful desk to seat to ? I’ve always had an eye on Milk desks designed by Danish designer, Søren Rose Kjær and produced by Holmris. The Milk grande’s all white with a proud CEO size where you can work like a boss. Milk desks hold a cable drawer, cable exits, and an integrated front notebook storage with a cable outlet so you can charge your iPad. On one side of the table, you have some square modular spaces, which can be fully customised to your needs into garbage bins, pencil holders, an iPod drawer with in-desk cable routing, and even as an aquarium.  Read the rest of this entry »

The interior design was awarded with the Fooding 2011 Award. The place looks great, clients look great, the wine selection is top-notch, the tapas are famous… Yes you guessed correctly, the restaurant is rather expensive but that’s honestly the only reproach you could make to this very wise saturday night dinner option. And you’ll be able to tell everyone you had dinner in a restaurant designed by Rem Koolhaas ( Pritzker 2000) and Clément Blanchet. Read the rest of this entry »
