New life form. Karbon.
…”This is one fabulous faucet. Made of composite materials, it moves into any position like the human arm can, to direct water wherever you want it, at a variety of flows and sprays.
No crappy flex hoses, no leaks, full power, easy, intuitive controls, multiple mounting options. A new concept for faucets. Truly a new life form.

Invisible street light.
Jongoh Lee, a South Korean designer has conceived of the invisible streetlight.
The design depicts the processes of photosynthesis conducted by plants using solar energy. By saving energy from sunlight during the day like actual trees, it emits light at night. The lights’ flexible body can be directly wrapped around a tree branch with no support required, blending into the surrounding environment.

Caparo T1. Street racer.
The Caparo T1 was in the press back in 2006. But now it is now production ready.
It’s as close as you’ll ever get to a genuine race car for the road. It’s been designed by a bunch of former McLaren Formula One engineers, and concedes only as much to practicality as is strictly necessary to make it street legal…maybe. Unveiled at the London Salon Privé at the prestigious Hurlingham Club, where final details on pricing, availability and a new sales and service network are expected to be announced shortly. Or go directly to the Caparo website.
