Cutting a sandwich in perfect shaped pieces is an art almost as delicate as cooking itself. That’s why you may consider Chef’n’s smartly designed spatula as your artist tool. The spatula has a wide platform that simplifies slicing the sandwiches, the cake or even your meat. A stripe down the center of the handle guides slicing and assures you that nobody gets a bigger piece. The new invention has a silicone-coated head made of stain and a stainless-steel core. The head is flexible and heat resistant to 650ºF. Wide spatula is a multifunctional tool also helping you to lift panini…
No sunny day without sunglasses! In late spring, Shwood came up with a new eyewear line, Stone Collection. The line contains frames made of a combination of granite slate and premium Birch wood. The sunnies also feature a walnut interior and a stainless steel axe logo. The result: smart looking sunglasses. Originally designed to be a limited edition, the line was so successful, it has led the brand to introduce the Stone Collection into its main line.
All those other, normal gazebos just pale in front of this beauty: why not create an all-weather retreat like the pavilions found throughout Scandinavia in your own back yard? Especially when it’s crafted from spruce native to Scandinavia’s amazing boreal forests. The gazebo is large enough to enclose a hot tub or a table and chairs, it can withstand 80-mph wind gusts and has a 28-lb. per square-foot snow load so that you can enjoy your outdoorsy activities all year round without the fear of having it collapse on you. The eight floor-to-ceiling 4 mm-thick polycarbonate panels provide a 360º view,…
As the James Bond that you are, you can’t be seen without awesome gadgets or else you start losing all credibility. This watch is perfect for the super-spy, journalist or paranoid husband/wife/co-worker/boss/whatever. It takes pictures and records video in the dark (and it tells the time.) These are then stored onto its built-in 8 GB flash memory and can be safely downloaded through USB. It has a rechargeable lithium battery that provides up to 50 minutes of recording time in darkness (which turn into up to 90 minutes in daylight) after only a two-hour charge.
Made for those who like minimal wallets, this woody leather gorgeousness is handmade from brown tanned leather and heavy waxed nylon threads. It isn’t made to store loads of money and credit cards, so if you’re Paris Hilton go wallet shopping somewhere else. The main idea of this wallet is to keep you from carrying unnecessary things around by limiting the space to that of a few plastic cards and some folded banknotes. No, a bulky wallet does not equal attractiveness, so take our word for it: less is more.
Repelling mosquitoes while picnicking, camping or frolicking outside like the nymph that you are has always been tedious, because hey, all those bug sprays stink and leave your skin all weird-tasting. And those bug zappers are just cruel and unusual punishment, not to mention annoyingly loud. This gadget, however, is the perfect alternative to sticky skin and fried bugs. It emits a safe and subtle floral scent of geranium, peppermint and lemongrass, naturally repelling mosquitoes, gnats, and midges. The repellent is distributed by its integrated fan so that you get a 15′ sq bug-free zone for up to 18 hours.
Ever been the one sitting next to everyone’s stuff at the beach/pool while they were having fun in the water because there had to be someone guarding all those wallets and phones? We know how annoying beach-paranoia can be, since it’s not very fun to have your things stolen while you’re swimming blissfully in the blue yonder. Which is why a safe is the very thing you need! It’s portable and, most importantly, it sounds a piercing alarm when the security cable is cut (this security cable being a 2′ steel cable), thus alerting you that hey, someone is trying…
If you love viking stuff with a minimal twist as much as we do then you’re in for a treat. Designed in Milan and handcrafted entirely of slip-cast ceramic clay that comes from the Tuscan comune of Montelupo Fiorentino, this passive ceramic amplifier produces naturally resonant tones from an iPhone. The curvature and amplification of a horn is faithfully replicated, augmenting the sound from an iPhone without the need of any auxiliary power or speaker components. Your music or phone calls are projected using genuine horn acoustics, by simply placing an iPhone or iPod in the amplifier’s cradle. It is…
You can now unleash the little paparazzo in you by automatically shooting videos with this small wearable (and customizable) HD smart camera. Gather all those memories that nobody recorded before, and make the best home movies money can’t buy. Because how else will you remember that you tripped on a beehive while camping in the mountains? (Okay, bad example. But bear with us.) Bypass the hassle of carrying a camera around by simply wearing the ParaShoot around your neck. It can be made into a fancy accessory by choosing different cases for it. Heck, make it look like a panda…
“A party game for horrible people.” As it says on the box, this game is not for people who can’t take a(n offensive) joke. Another great thing about this party game is that it is entirely and completely free. Unless you really want to buy it printed on nice shiny cards (which is $10.) But even if you’re broke and can’t afford it, you can still print the cards out, write them down, make new ones — this game is always improving through its players. The full game of Cards Against Humanity is available for free under a Creative Commons…
This lovely hearth table is reminiscent of the ones you probably used to buy in Sims when you wanted to make your Sim happy and throw the best parties in the neighborhood. Even if you don’t know what I’m talking about, just imagine a clear night, crickets cricketing, you and a few close friends gathered around the fire with marshmallows on sticks and talking about smart and important things. Or making burgers and steak and roasted vegetables. The possibilities are endless. (Unless you want to bake a cake, in which case we recommend an indoor oven.) Not to mention that…
Our exclusive and sexy interview with Australian model Melanie Raimundo. Photo gallery below. So you’re Argentinian, I could have guessed that after watching your latest photoshoot (for ZenGarage). Do you know why?
Melanie: I would presume that you guessed I was Argentinian because of my curves, dark hair, olive skin and dark eyes.

Have you seen those old movies portraying America in the 1930s and ’40s? Then you couldn’t have missed the icon of gyms, factories and service stations present in every film. The industrial-grade original Gymnasium Clock proves the American spirit itself no matter where or when you see it. Its reproduction looks so much like the original, you could think the time machine brought you in the past in a train station in 1930s Texas. The body crafted of riveted sheet metal, a sturdy metal grill in place of glass, and quartz movement mechanics is what makes this clock resistant. Not…
In case you can’t afford Ferrari’s new “LaFerrari”, you can please yourself with something less expensive, yet luxury. Hublot has delivered their own “LaFerrari”, only their product is a watch and is called “MP-05 LaFerrari”. The connection between the car and the watch is the design. Hublot created the watch to look like a miniature engine strapped to the wrist. MP-05 was actually developed in parallel with the car and benefits of several tips from Ferrari. If you can imagine, the watch is equipped with a Tourbillon and a power reserve of nearly two months. The watch is made from…
What better way to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s coronation than creating a new version of a British icon, the Triumph? For the big day, June 2, 2013, Italian designer Mattia Foroni created Triumph Thruxton. The motorcycle has a special design made of clippings from the Daily News and New Chronicle. No wonder if those clippings were from the Queen’s coronation, back in 1953. One thing is for sure: it took Mattia 9 days to put the clippings all over the fuel tank and fenders.
Do you want to have your vacation photos (not to mention your important papers) available no matter where you go as long as you have a computer?

You never know when your friends invite you to join them for a Boy Scouts adventure in the woods. If this ever suddenly happens, you should be prepared to cook your own meal even if that means to whittle your own chopsticks. So you should better have a powerful knife to rely on. In that case, Dauntless MK1: Titanium by Triple Aught Design is, of course, your best choice. The knife, made by titanium is indestructible, so you can have it happily ever after. Don’t wait too much before you get it because Triple Aught Designs only sells one knife…
If you take your shaving cream bar quite as seriously as the creator of this soap, then you’re in for a treat (hand)made in heaven. This organic, cold-processed shaving soap is made from a simple combination of castor, coconut, olive and palm oils, plus an added heap of cocoa butter to create a full, moisturizing lather, apple cider vinegar for a healthy scalp, and bentonite clay for a great glide. Good for everything from head to, well, other parts. Each bar weighs between 4.5 and 5 ounces and will last a long time if kept dry between uses. Full list…
Pinokio comes in the form of a humble desk lamp, yet it redefines our experience of a lamp, a robot, or a computer algorithm. Pinokio the lamp is imbued with the ability to be aware of its environment, especially people, and to express a dynamic range of behaviors.

Awesome! The B&O Play line by Bang & Olufsen welcomes two new members to the family — the BeoPlay H6 and H3 headphones. (The H3 is only $249, by the way.) The H6 is a pair of high-quality over-ear headphones that feel soft and sound crisp, the best possible combination for headphone enthusiasts. Light, perfect for easy listening, the H6 boast exceptional clarity but can still “drop the bass” (aka it has a bass port which optimizes the bass performance.) The BeoPlay H3 are in-ear headphones made from aluminum. The H3 features a custom-designed 10.8 mm driver, Micro Bass Port…

All Star Trek fans beware! There’s a new money-taker on the market, that appeals not only to your fandom–well, actually, it does appeal only to your fandom. Designer Peter Fletcher gave the Excelsior watch an asymmetrical ship-like shape on which the time is displayed by 2 analogue discs that describe the hours and minutes. All operated by little men in your little Star Trek ship. Don’t forget to feed them. This design provides larger internal space for sophisticated mechanism and electronics (and little men.) The display area is large but not too thick, in order to avoid any bulkiness. We…
Just because it’s summer does not mean you can’t have some good ol’ fashioned snowball throwin’ fun. No sir. And the good part is that there’s no messy wet mush to make you run home and change underpants. They’re made out of soft material that apparently feels just like snow. They even have the snowy crunch to them. Not only that, but they’re reusable, machine washable and dryable on gentle cycle. Size: approximately 3″ in diameter. Indoor snowball fights all year round, yeah!
Get it? Heh. We thought it was funny too. Mr. T (bag) is a great way of telling your girlfriend that tea bag(ging) is a fun activity, and that yes, she may have some tea afterwards. Let Mr. T enjoy a nice steaming bath in your cup and allow his legs to work their magic and brew your drink to tearrific quality. If you don’t host a Mr. T-themed tea party next time you invite your bros over, we’re breaking up with you.
Nope, that’s unmistakably mine, it has my name on it! It’s time to get egoistical about your steak, you’re cooking it, you’re tagging it, you’re eating it. Here’s the awesome Dci Bbq Branding Iron for personalized grilling. It works pretty simple – slide the letters into the track and brand your meat. Don’t forget to spell it backwords and include spaces if that’s the case. You got it by now – there’s no limit to how you can brand your meat, but we strongly suggest you only use it on steaks!
You know how all your life’s going mobile. It’s your home’s lock and security turn to go mobile. With August you can manage your home’s lock from your smartphone or computer. And like we’ve expect it to be, it is indeed, smart. It’s keyless as it is based on an encrypted locking technology that’s supposed to be safer than keys that can get lost or can be copied. You can control who and when has access in your house (or office). You can issue a permanent key for your girlfriend or one for a couple of hours for the cleaning…
Apple addicts unite! We know how you we all love our minimalist super-devices, and always appreciate accessories that follow this simple rule: minimalism + functionality = addiction.

Made of natural materials like wool felt and vegetable tanned leather the sleeves are nice to touch and carry around, and they sure look great! No need to panic, addaskin – the guys that make these also got your iPad, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro…
I’ve always hated those guys cruising on these three-wheeled rides, looking so relaxed, waving, drinking something, talking on the cell phone and playing a violin, all at the same time because.. well there’s no handle. And me with my back-pain and arms holding tight to my bike’s handle so I won’t broke my nose, again. I’m definitely getting this, so I can finally play Angry Birds while cycling to work. Getting to the serious part, not that I wasn’t serious so far, this vehicle features a dual-joystick steering mechanism that is exhilarating to use and provides a smooth manoeuvrability. Unlike…

We all know it. It’s that little voice that keeps getting smaller and smaller as anti-cancer ads occupy more and more of the cigarette pack. The little voice that tells you that you should probably stop it with that nasty habit of yours, because you’re causing harm to more than just yourself, you selfish bastard. But how can someone that’s been exposed to threats and warnings against smoking ever take them seriously? We are so used to them that they’ve become background noise to our polluted ears.

The Clip Bag is a wool felt/aluminum tube combo that looks so real it might even pass as a real binder clip. As its designer, Peter Bristol, said: “New scale creates new purpose.” And that’s just about right. Think about all the jacuzzi tubs you could make out of super-sized teacups. Or the gigantic pen electricity poles. If this trend catches anywhere, we’re definitely going to feel like kids. Very small kids. P.S. The bag is currently just a concept, so if you want to become a manufacturing/distribution partner, click here.
Whether you like black, red or both, here’s a shoe from Adidas SLVR that looks good no matter what color you prefer. Made from super soft leather, they unite sporty and classy into one iconic shoe.

The canvas lining comes with an OrthoLite anti-microbial moisture-wicking sockliner, keeping your kicks fresh and clean. Adidas is surely a master of the…

This bamboo iPad case is ideal for those of you who also like to cook, so that you can use it to chop things on its chopping-board-looking-surface, like celery and stuff. All this while looking up the recipe on your iPad. How useful is that! And then you can just pick it up like the little purse it is. No more having to carry your iPad uncomfortably (although I’m pretty sure that if you afford an iPad your life is already comfortable enough.) The case also has a ‘sleep’ magnet, to keep your precious tablet at maximum battery.
A long name for a rather simple shoe — the Del Toro Grey Camo Suede Alto Chukka Sneaker makes it sound like you just put a soap opera character on your feet. I guess the Spanish really like their long names. Still, it’s a very classy spring sneaker, with Del Toro’s signature camouflage in a tonal grey colorway and black leather laces. If the Spanish Inquisition had these, they would’ve been much comfier while being inquisitive. Constructed of high quality suede, these Alto Chukkas feature Del Toro’s signature camouflage in a tonal grey colorway. A grey margom rubber sole and…

No, we’re not talking about something that will hide all your porn sites from your boss or wife (that’s called a History Deleting Maneuver, look it up.) This is just yellow putty that oddly resembles the Flubber. Or Play Doh, depending on your understanding of things. If you enjoy eating next to your keyboards and phones and what not or don’t really clean them all too often, you’ll notice a layer of much starting to form. Not to worry, this is just all the food residue you threw between the keys, and it’s probably infectious. Lucky there’s this putty thing…
Please notice how this isn’t called an ‘umbrella’, like all the other boring inventions against rain. Oh no. This one, and rightfully so, is called the Rainshader. Because screw you that’s why. They do what they want. And of course it’s designed in the UK, where there are winds so powerful that you need a climbing chord to walk your tiny-ass dog and not have it blow away from your grasp in a whirlpool of tea and cucumber sandwiches. This umb- sorry. This rainshader is virtually impossible to turn inside out. And apparently the ‘shader’ part of the name comes…
Just by looking at this, the infamous song from Flobots came to mind: I can ride my bike with no handlebars, no handlebars, no handlebars. But with a twist! It’s more like I can ride my Segway with no handlebars. Because even the lazy can be extreme! (extremely lazy, if you ask me.) You control this little carrier just by shifting your body weight. The rig is 9 lb and it takes only an hour to fully charge. Its travel range is of about 4mi, and can reach a wind-in-hair-blowing speed of 6mph. If you want to help this Kickstarter…
Team Galag from Saudi Arabia showed pictures of their custom made Batmobile Tumbler. This cross between a tank and a Lamborghini created based on the movie “Batman: The Dark Knight.” The car will take part in recreational racing Gumball 3000. The Arabian company is going to show the car in London, and then it will make his debut in Copenhagen, where on May 18th the Gumball 3000 race stars. It is reported that the Tumbler will be powered by a 6.2-liter twin-turbo V8 …continue reading
We realize it’s difficult to justify such a purchase. You could try telling the wife you want to buy something for the house, change up the style a bit. Details are not important. But in all seriousness, this refrigerator could add a retro touch to your kitchen, as it was designed to imitate the 1950’s style of fridge. Nevertheless, despite its classic look, its functions are all modern and the fun part about it is that it comes with an installed draft system, so you can pour your beer right from the tap. Cool, huh (pun intended!)? Also, it could…
It gives us joy whenever we see designs, concepts and inventions that strive to improve, even by a very small percentage, the already damaged environment around us. Today we give you the reCOVER coat rack, by teracrea, an Italian design company; it’s a cute little concept that will make a difference in your home. This coat stand is meant to be placed in any flower pot that can support a few pounds, and it’s made to look like a tree, to give the sense of a miniature ecosystem inside your house. When you hang your dripping umbrella or raincoat, the…
In order to celebrate their 65 year anniversary, apart from the sumptuous birthday party held at Packington Estate (on the very grounds where Land Rover’s contributions to the world of off-roading were tested from the first 1948 model all the way through the 1970s,) with birthday cake delivered by a Lynx military helicopter, Land Rover launched Land Rover LXV Defender SE, the LXV anniversary edition. This birthday boy has a 2.2-liter diesel and six-speed manual, 16-inch Sawtooth wheels, leather seats and unique badging.
If this becomes reality, we’ll be having some much happier diabetics around. It’s like a colorful half rainbow that features several devices to maintain the health of people with diabetes, all while maintaining their optimism. Color coded for simple, fast and easy use, it makes for way better user experience. Not only this, but the software applications are capable of synchronizing your input with your personal hospital database. Each module can be charged individually, as required – it basically works just like an inkjet printer! Just remove the ‘cartridges’ that need to be charged and plug ’em in. It’s portable,…
Have you ever wondered what an iPad or a radio is made of? Or what’s inside a SLR camera, or a piano? We have, too. For all you curious guys out there, we recommend a new book, conceptualized and put together by an innovative author by the name of Todd McLellan. Just out of the printers, Things Come Apart: A Teardown Manual for Modern Living is a remarkable attempt at understanding modern and older technology, by disassembling and breaking things apart, to show how even the most intricate designs are not in the least unreachable even for the non-professionals among…
The perfect watch to take with you on Mars, if you get chosen for the colonization of the planet, will show you the time in a space-like fashion–not that you’ll be needing any timekeeping where you’ll be. Anger everyone by showing the intricate pattern and only smiling enigmatically when asked “What time is it?” Most of them won’t be able to read it at first sight. If they are, take them as space companions. The watch has a black LCD interface, which makes vibrant tones of green or gold can be easily read during the day (for night mode, there’s…
Wake up with an energizing, invigorating, and exfoliating experience that will leave your skin glowing. Get an amazing lather that will become so addictive you’ll teach your son to use this soap. Kill grease, dirt, and grime with a soap that washes off lightly. This is an amazing soap that will make your beard grow and your armpits smell like MAN. But in the GOOD way. Yeah! Injected with natural eucalyptus, you’ll be like a mint they won’t be able to resist putting in their mouth. You’ll be so moisturized your own mom will think you’ve reverted to babyhood. Here…
Never has a spork looked more manly than in this little black set–we know you like eating meat and stuff that get impaled by forks and knives and pointy objects when up on the mountain, because man eat meat, but sometimes you want a cup of soup. Or maybe you need a spoon because of reasons. Which is why you will need a spork. For space-saving, if not for anything else. Oh, and it has an integrated bottle opener, just for kicks. And three hex wrenches. And a carabiner. It also opens cans. What more do you need in the…
There’s nothing that screams Summer more than hanging out with your friends all day long. And since you’ll probably have some girls over (hopefully!), we thought we’d share with you an inflatable outdoor lounge area that could replace those ragged old lawn chairs. The AirLounge is perfect for garden parties, reception and corporate events, or fairs, and if you want to promote your business, throw a beach or a cabana party, and this will definitely be a point of attraction. It’s eye-catching, versatile and extremely comfortable. It comes with its own 1,000 W pump that inflates it in only 10…

Looking stylish is something that is invariably in the eye of the beholder but, it’s safe to say, there are some items of clothing that will look stylish regardless of which pair of eyes are being laid upon it. One such example of this calibre of clothing is the day shirts from Budd Shirt Makers – which offer style as well as unparalleled comfort. Budd Shirt Makers are an institution in the London tailoring industry and their quality is well known on both sides of the Atlantic. Founded in 1910 and still operating from the same small store in which…

Carlsberg puts friends to the test. A phone call in the middle of the night: your best friend is in trouble. Would you go out and help him? Probably the best beer in the world tests some friendships. What would your friends do? Are they true mates? The video campaign is … continue reading
Created for chefs who want to be even faster while making that perfect breakfast-in-bed omelet for that pretty lady of theirs, the yolk separating whisk is a two-in-one kind of deal that allows you to do the separating effortlessly and immediately resume the whisking process. Say goodbye to dropping egg shell pieces in the mixture and making a huge mess while attempting to transfer the yolk from one half shell to the other. This idea is so smart that we kind of want it to become available. Soon.
We know you really want to get fit in time for summer (and it is literally around the corner)–which is why we found the perfect running shoes! Obviously, from Nike. Obviously, stylish. With enhanced breathability and deep flex grooves that deliver a flexible, barefoot-like ride, the Nike Free Powerlines will make you feel like a sleek cheetah or something equally manly and empowering. After learning that Stanford athletes had been training barefoot on the university’s golf course, three of Nike’s most innovative and creative employees set out to develop a shoe that felt natural and weightless, similar to bare feet.
So as not to keep fumbling around for various tools while working on your car or on that awesome project you always wanted to finish but only now found the time, our idea is to wear something that’s both sexy and useful–the gentleman’s leather apron. To be worn (preferably) without anything underneath. Trust us, the ladies will be thankful. Fitted with loads of pockets for your multitude of tools, it’s extremely useful and stylish. Here’s a larger view of the awesomeness:
This amazing concept aims to bring nature closer to you while still having a thin film of glass between you and those annoying summertime bugs buzzing everywhere. Enjoy a lakeside view without all those annoying mosquito bites. Integrated into the landscape, the Bunkie blends in with whatever style you have going on–it has three operational modes: open, play and sleep. Not only this, but the very construction of the Bunkie is eco friendly and fast. In the case of the Bunkie, this involves reduced impact materials and adopting CNC detailing from furniture manufacturing for use in pre-fab construction.
Since we’ve been talking so much about camping that we’re dying to grill something, even if it’s only in our back yard in the middle of the city, we researched how to make the best out of your grill gear. And here it is, the griddle that will enable you to cook that meat like a professional chef and earn your “Kiss the Cook” apron. It is made out of resilient material that will not rust and distributes heat uniformly in order to achieve the perfect cooking temperature. Keep in mind that this is a heavy item to carry around…
Remember the Handpresso for vehicles that we covered a while ago? Well, this is the outdoor version, ideal for the great camping trips of coffee-addicts who can’t lay off the brew, like, ever. Not even in the middle of a rainforest, while chased by monkeys. You can even take it with you on a plane. To make a creamy espresso you just have to pump up the Handpresso to 16 bar of pressure, add hot water from the included flask and insert the espresso pod. This set includes the Handpresso Wild Espresso Maker, four Handpresso Espresso cups, one insulated flask,…
Lightweight, waterproof and highly portable, this inflatable solar lantern is perfect for your camping endeavours in sunny terrain — or if you’re living in the desert and literally have no electricity. In the second case, you’ll probably get one for free, because the guys who sell these things like to help out people in developing countries and/or the desert. This little gadget is an actual solution to the lack of electrical lighting wherever it may occur by smartly replacing it with what we all have–the sun. Leave it in the sunlight for 8 hours to get between 6 and 12 hours of…
For those of you for whom getting up is the second hardest thing in the morning, here are the perfect fuel recipients for the extra boost needed by every early-rising astronaut. The Blast Off! Espresso Cups! will keep your rocket fuel contained and hot, just the way you like it (you naughty boy.) Measure 2.75 inches tall x 2.25 inches wide. You get two fine-quality porcelain cups. Hold 2.5 ounces.
We know that the world is becoming more and more environmentally-conscious, so today we thought we’d contribute to the change and feature a cool little sustainable device for your iPhones and iPads. But we’re not quite ready to give up on the style aspect yet, so we’ve found a nice combination of both sustainability and classy look, that we hope you’ll enjoy. It’s called the Ecoustik 5 and it consists of a simple piece of carved wood that naturally amplifies the sound coming from your iPhone 5 or your iPad. It comes in a variety of colors, from a bright…
In line with other products of the well-known English brand, Barbour, the quilted look has now been introduced to the brand’s customers in the form of an iPhone 5 cover. The flip cover maintains the timeless… quilted appearance that the company made famous and comes in a variety of rich, earthy colors, like navy, terracotta and grape colors, that give it a sense of luxury and subtlety. It features an additional leather credit card slot and a tartan lining, which protects your iPhone and stays true to traditional British fashion. The user has access to the phone’s functions, through cut-outs…
We really wish we would have come up with this idea, but without a doubt we couldn’t have done such a great job as the designers of this awesome device called SmartWallit. This is yet another Kickstarter project which got more support that it bargained for and the praise is, as you’ll see in a minute, very well deserved. We all have those days where we can’t pull ourselves together – either we’re really scattered, tired or whatever it may be, it’s a surprise we don’t lose our mind, not to mention our phone or wallet. The device we’re featuring…
This awesome new hotel in Singapore is the ultimate escape from the hustle and bustle of dull urban life, right in the middle of said urban life. The recent unveiling of this lush four-story hotel full of tall sky-gardens, reflecting pools, waterfalls, planter terraces and cascading vertical greenery is proof enough that entire cities could become botanical havens in a few years’ time if only people would start caring more about the environment and less about invading countries with oil reserves.
Since summer is finally here to stay and we can hear those camping trips calling from beyond the mountains, a new wardrobe is in order. We recommend this super thin and breezy cotton vest, with a wolf printed on the front for extra points in the wilderness. The tattoos are optional, while the SPF cream isn’t. We don’t want you looking like a trucker after a weekend in the sun, and something tells us that this idea doesn’t particularly appeal to you either. Wear light clothes, stay in the shade during the afternoon and try not to sun yourself too much. Happy…
The Tigdi case is the perfect item for people who tend to lose things in the vastness of their bags whenever they need them most. And since your phone is probably the one thing you don’t leave the house without, it goes without saying that attaching items on said phone’s case is the way to go if you want to find the things you need in record time. Unless you also tend to lose your phone, in which case (hah, get it?) that’s your problem and we advise you to use the phone locating stickers we wrote about just a…
You know we here at HisPotion are fans of the classic look… with an edge. We’re really excited about the Spring/Summer shoe collection for men that the French company Ateliers Heschung has delivered this year. If you haven’t heard about them by now, know that they are a handcrafting company with a long history, having established their factory in 1934. They design and make timeless shoes for men and women, with sober, yet elegant lines and seams, and they are generally perceived as a designer brand (with prices that live up to this label). Their newest collection, also handcrafted, of…
We haven’t featured a sports gear/device in a while, so we thought it was about time to share with you this home boxing unit, that will allow you to stay indoors (and not outside, in the unbearable heat) and work on your beach body. There are two versions of the Nexersys boxing unit, and with $4,000 as the price difference you’ll want to be careful with what you choose to buy. The classic version (NXS-H) looks, at first sight, smaller and doesn’t seem as sturdy as the PRO one; that difference can be measured, as the NXS-H weighs 156 lbs,…
Surely you’ve had your share of ups and downs this week, but there’s nothing better than the weekend to boost up your energy level and self confidence. With nice clothes, a fancy drink in your hand and a beautiful woman by your side, the world is yours! Turn the bass up and race the engine, you’ve got green light to party this weekend!
For anyone who follows the TAG Heuer brand closely, the name of Jack Heuer is one that you are likely to be familiar with as he is the designer who was responsible for many of the Swiss watchmaker’s most iconic collections of watches – most notably, the Carrera collection.
We’ll just tell you from the beginning – we love this toy! We’re fans of both the design and the technical features. The Phantom is an entry-level UAV designed for aerial photography, and is meant to compete with the most popular device of its kind on the market, the Parrot AR Drone. Unlike the Parrot, which uses an controller app, the DJI has a dedicated hand-held radio frequency control unit, with two joysticks, that, according to the creators, will give the device more stability, even though it will take a bit more time to get accustomed to it. It features…
Designed to be used regardless of the year, this calendar has a bold design that will stand out more than those boring, non-eco-friendly paper calendars. You simply have to move two magnetic balls (hah. hahah.) to show the date and the month. That can get a bit tedious at times, and some of you might wonder why it’s not automatic, but hey, let’s call it retro if you will. Plus, it’s a museum piece so be thankful, you lazy bastards! How often do you get to play with magnetic balls anyway? (I’m looking at you, Magneto!)
If ever you find yourself reminiscing about the 80’s and 90’s, listening to Ace of Base in your head, today we’re featuring an old school (with a twist!) system stereo that will ease the blues and make you wanna party like it’s 1999. The Mobile Blastmaster is great for outdoors events where the crowd moves around, but want to avoid awkward, silent moments. It can be pulled by an integrated wagon handle, over sand and snow, so it has the practical advantage that you don’t have to break your back carrying 217 lbs. around. Talking about its main function -…
Here are some of these very dirty words you’ll learn if you’ll read this BBB of VDW, as we like to call it for short: Airplane Blonde. Intercorpse. Prostitot. Queef. Rainbow Kiss. If you’re interested in creative ways of insulting people, be they people you hate or people you love, or if you just want to show off your insult finesse, then this is the reading material for your extended porcelain throne sessions. But be advised: not everyone will understand that yes, you are insulting them and yes, they should feel offended. Make use of more than 2,000 insults, obscenities, and vulgarities…
Featuring a lace-up front, leather upper, combined leather and rubber sole and casual leather lining, this shoe is positively wonderful. It’s perfect for special occasions, such as promotion-accepting-speeches, dates that end with you proposing or simply participating at some fancy gala. Sizes range from 40 to 46 (European size), and they’re guaranteed to fit like a… well, glove.
If you, like us, have been in the awful position of finishing an amazing book (or series!) and then staring aimlessly into space for what felt like weeks, then this article will try to help you with that transition between an amazing fantasy world and–no, not reality! But another amazing fantasy world! Finding similar books to the one you just finished might be a daunting task, but with this awesome site, it needn’t be. This engine will generate books that resemble the one you entered in the box, helping you find your way through the big forest of literature with a bit…
The world of watch-making hasn’t seen much progress in the last decades (except, maybe, for the addition of unnecessary bling), but the watch we’re about to show you does take some steps into changing traditional mechanisms. It’s called Ressence Type 3 and it features an interesting new concept – that of fluid in its system. How does this work? Different from most watches, where there is a pocket of air between the face of the watch and the inside surface of the crystal, here the space is filled with a clear refractive fluid, which bathes the orbiting indications and creates…
Time to pull out the fancy hats in your closet, put on that expensive pair of sunglasses and enjoy a nice Mojito – it’s Friday! Go out, meet people, laugh, discuss, play sports, sing, dance – just do anything that will make your endorphins run the marathon. Keep a positive and stylish attitude and the world will smile back at you! Have a great weekend! And keep an eye on the ladies! The sunnier outside, the less shy they are.
We met Tina a long time ago. She hasn’t changed much since then, except she’s not that Converse-wearing kid anymore, but a gorgeous 22-year old woman, with much to say and give to the world. She looks like a model and acts like a mature, sophisticated woman, who loves life and smokes with grace, leaving men always wanting for more. She asked us not to make a big fuss about this piece, but we just couldn’t help ourselves and wanted to show you how the saying that simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication can be embodied by such young,…
Make a clear statement with these chairs that, let’s face it, speak for themselves. Arrange them in any way you want (limited only by your budget and space available to display these furnishing beauties.) Buy all the letters of the alphabet and go crazy with subliminal messages such a “sit” or “eat”. Encourage people to move them around to create their own messages, and you’ll become the funnest boss around. You’re just a few steps away from installing a slide in the office, we know it! Keep up the great work and give people chairs to smile about!
As defined on their (successfully funded) Kickstarter page, the BikeSpike is a “bike GPS tracker that automatically reports a crash to contacts, alerts you if tampered with, iOS/Android/Web friendly with open API.” Its primary function is that of helping you track and retrieve your stolen bike, but the BikeSpike doesn’t stop at that: it also has a collision detection system, it allows you to share your stats on different social medias, it can help the worrying parents monitor their children and see if they wander off or get in any danger, and much more. The only drawback we can see…
Needless to say that people are creatures of comfort, so we thought we would feature a device that is meant to better the atmosphere around you, whether you’re at the office or at home. The CubeSensors is a cute little device that will help you get familiar with the environment in your home or workplace, by informing you about factors like temperature, humidity, noise, light, air quality and barometric pressure, or even unwanted vibrations that shake up the building you’re in. You receive the data on your smartphone after it has been uploaded on the cloud and analyzed by the…
Yet another brilliant invention that might seem better than it actually is, promising to put a stop to those nasty tangles in your earphones. Now we’re not particularly skeptical about this (yes we are), but something about a zipper earphone chord doesn’t sound amazingly stylish and, well, manly. And yeah, sure, you can zip them up and keep the individual strands from tangling, but what will stop the main chord from tangling itself around? Huh? Just think carefully before deciding these are an imperative addition to your audiophile collection. You’re welcome. Features: Comfortable custom fit – 2 sizes of silicone…
Ever been to a picnic that had umbrellas that provided shade so you could see the fact that your phone’s battery was running out way better than in the sun? It’s kind of a long shot, but we have. And it was excruciating. So we were extremely glad to find this particular shade-maker, that not only keeps you nice and cool but also charges your devices by making smart use of a solar panel. Frankly, we’re surprised this idea wasn’t put into practice sooner. Not only that, but its canopy withstands wind gusts and blocks 98% of the sun’s harmful…
Half-tent, half-hammock, this is the perfect backyard getaway for you and/or your kids. It comes in single and double sizes (the double one is slightly pricier, at $540 but hey, it’s bigger. That usually means it’s better, right?) Made using fabrics developed for the high demands of the marine and camping industries, these tents are treated for UV and water resistance; plus they’re anti-mould.
What better way to get a healthy dose of motivation for your startups other than have it stare at you from your wall, in a whooping 24×36″ format. It will challenge you to want to be better, do better by your customers and create things that last. It will encourage you to stop procrastinating (our site is allowed, but only during breaks!), think bigger and get shit done, everything without cutting corners or compromising in any shape or form. Whenever you will be in need of motivation, this minimal poster will deliver. Fill your employees’ offices with these posters and watch…
As we have be accustomed, Ableton has released a new Live software this year, and this time it brought along a new pad controller with it, called Push. This one only works on Live 9, so if you’ve been a fan of Live and think about getting Push, you can try the free version of Ableton’s latest software here. The pad was engineered by Akai Professional and the teamwork that these two companies have put in seems to be rewarded by reviewers saying that this is probably the best device of its kind on the market. The control surface is…
It’s that time of the week you like the most! We’ve got the usual mix of cool, inspiring, appetising, sexy, practical and stylish stuff. You’ll also find out how a drunk octopus that wants to fight you looks like. Until the next time, have a great, relaxing weekend!
It is such a treat coming across this new addition that the company Hard Graft has recently released! The Sport iPhone 5 Case is the latest product that the enthusiast duo at Hard Graft has come up with – from our perspective, similar to other HG products, but with a twist. The case is, of course, handmade, defined by exquisite craftsmanship and elegance. The twist is the herringbone elastic that adds functionality to the whole piece, keeping your iPhone 5 safe. The case is made out of genuine Italian leather in the front, beautifully complemented by wool on the back…
With spring time comes spring cleaning and the pressing desire to change something. Anything. Be it yourself, your couch, the color of your carpets or the patterns on your walls. We’re here to suggest a few designs for the latter, according to The Painted House ltd.’s fresh vision. Their Etsy shop showcases everything you might need in order to give your boring living room a makeover worthy of your glorious presence. This is our top 4 best patterns for Spring 2013. Give them a roll!
Not since the daring Wright brothers have we seen such a stunning contraption, successfully merging the useful with the pleasant and putting the end result on wheels. Accommodating up to 17 people, this mobile bar allows the party-goers to work out while drinking their favorite beers and take in the sights while they’re at it. Ideal for socializing, it’s a one-of-a-kind method of bringing the bar to the people and not vice-versa. It’s like a grown-up ice-cream truck. That you can ride. With friends.
This ballpoint pen could be the answer to all your scanning prayers, especially if you’re in a job that desperately requires urgent scanning in inconvenient locations. Bonus: it retains its original function as a pen, that of writing. Jot down, scan, repeat. A high-precision auto-focus lens and 5-megapixel sensor built into the pen scan documents as crisp, clear 2048 x 1536 pixel images. This little guy probably does a better job than your bulky printer at home. The pen automatically focuses the image just before the picture is taken, while pressing the shutter button halfway projects a visible red laser frame onto a…
It is seldom the case that a piece of furniture comes along with a name quite as awesome as the Little Bear Chair by Hans Wegner. This wonderfully monikered piece of designer furniture is one of Wegner’s most iconic pieces and is so-called due to the resemblance that it has to being hugged from behind by a bear. The Little Bear Chair was originally designed and released over half a century ago in 1951 and this makes its contemporary look and feel all the more surprising and points to just how revolutionary Wegner was as a designer. A wonderfully stylish…
There are luxury watches that are undeniably rugged, robust and built to last. And then there are timepieces from Panerai. Beyond compare in the durability and resilience departments, Panerai watches are in a league of their own when it comes to toughness and this is something which is typified by the, frankly breath taking, Panerai Luminor 1950 Flyback Chronograph watch pictured above. It isn’t difficult to see why Panerai have been the supplier of choice to the Italian Navy for many years because their timepieces are as uncompromising and sturdy as they come and the Flyback above is certainly no…
Ever forgot where you parked? Weren’t aware of the fact that you were speeding in a particular location that may or may not have had special rules? Had an accident in a remote area and ended up in a position that rendered you unable to dial 991? Yeah, we know the feel, which is why we’re very excited to share this new gadget with you guys. It’s tiny, rather inexpensive and will totally save you time and effort. Not only does it help keep your engine healthy, it also works as a smart GPS, remembers where you parked, dials 911…
I know it’s not even full-blown spring in some parts of the world, but I bet most of you are already thinking about summer days, relaxing by the pool, sipping on delicious cocktails… For some of you who plan on living la vida loca this year, it might not be too early to start making plans. Why do I say that? Well because the places I’m about to tell you about require some extra savings and advanced preparations and reservations. Nam Hai, Vietnam The incredible all-villa resort located on Hoi An Beach features 61 bedroom retreats as well as 40…
From my experience, most men have this fantasy of some sort of road trip, or of camping in the wilderness, that will enable them to access their survival instincts and abilities. It’s perfectly natural (no pun intended!), but the civilized homo sapiens nowadays would have a hard time adapting to harsh living conditions, so every now and then he needs a little help making his way through the jungle/forest/backyard. With this in mind, here are some cool gadgets and tools every guy would love to own: 1. A flashlight The Panasonic BF-BM10 Any Battery Light Now this is what we…
Don’t forget to cancel the daily alarm for tomorrow, or at least change it. No, I’m not saying you should sleep more just because you can. You sleep a third of your life anyway, so why not do something interesting this weekend. For inspiration, enjoy the photos below.
What is your ideal bed you would fancy sleeping in? Is it just a normal, conservative bed? Or does reach a little beyond common imagination? As kids we’ve all probably dreamed about falling asleep in a car or princess-like bed that would make us believe we’re part of some magical universe. As adults, well… things change a bit. While doing research for this article I’ve come across beds that resemble coffins, that have penis-shaped pillars or that have nothing in common with the comfort we need during sleep, as they were made out solely out of hay, or some other…
Featuring a simple suede upper and gum rubber sole unit, not to mention a quite interesting choice of colors, the Koston 2 makes its great return this April. The Wolf Grey that dominates the shoe is balanced out by the sole and the tonal mesh panel at the heel, which accounts for textural contrast as well. The spots of pure white increase the visibility of the logos, delivering the Koston 2 from its grey blandness. All in all, these kicks look like they’ve got kick – just don’t jump in any puddles or run through mud.
Unisex and lightweight, this gorgeous watch boasts a silver sunray dial with brown chronograph sub-dials, an orange seconds hand that contrasts with the whole ensemble perfectly, silver hour index markers and an inner ring displaying minutes, all set within a brown acetate case with a steel back and mineral glass. You can even choose from a number of extra wrist straps, but the brown organic leather one seems the more elegant choice for a gentleman like you. Wear it with any type of outfit, from casual to elegant. It miraculously complements almost any item of apparel you’d choose to wear.
Along with the launch of Windows 8, in 2012, came much debate. There was and still is a lot of controversy around the Microsoft based apps that many of the newly launched hybrid laptops go for and although there is a growing number of such laptops being put on the market, they don’t really hold a well deserved place in the spotlight. Now whether you call them hybrids, convertibles, sliders, large tablets or any other thing, the point is that these laptops have opened a long road towards more sleek, reliable and versatile devices. From an innovative stand point, I…
If you’re a neat freak like us (or just don’t like fire hazards and tripping over cables all that much), then this little box is the perfect thing for decluttering your workspace. With spring cleaning in mind, tidying up all the loose ends and cables lying around in an electric death-maze around your home seems like a good alternative to dusting and vacuuming. Hey, at least the effects of this will last longer than the three days it will take for the dust to settle back on those shelves. Features: – three openings on the top of the unit direct…
Seemingly boarding the “Mad Men” train, designers planned out, for the most fashionable fellas among you, a year full of class and sophistication when it comes to hairstyles. Still, I’ve seen some male models pulling off the casual, “artist” hairstyle, so this year’s trends seem to cater to everybody’s preferences. Along with indicating the trend, I’ll also give you a few pointers on how to achieve the look. 1. First off, the iconic Mad Men look – the slick comb over. I’ve seen it over and over on the runway, at Dior, Gucci, Prada, Raf Simons, Dries van Noten and…
The first made-for-iPhone Personal Weather Station, with air quality measurements, to monitor and track your environment. Transmit data such as temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, and CO2 concentration to your iPhone wirelessly and always be on top of whatever meteorogical situation presents itself to you. Measure and monitor the local weather and environment from indoor and out, at any time and any place, thanks to the awesome iPhone weather station. It has a single piece, durable aluminum body, so that you can play the meteorologist card at any camping outing (we’re trying to say that it’s light and sturdy and that you…
(Already out of stock on Amazon,) this cool basketball hoop is the ideal gift for the child in your family (or, why not, the child in you. We know it says “for ages 7 and up”, but you’re in the “and up” category, so it’s fine.) Come spring, you’ll want to have your A game, and what better way to improve your hoop-shootin’ other than with an over-the-door basketball board and hoop with authentic announcer sounds, electronic scoring, time clock and an automatic ball feeding system. Set it up at the office (if your boss is okay with it) and shoot some hoops during…
We’re back with our weekly inspiration stuff for men! Watches, style, design, beauties, and much more in this week’s round-up. Summer is just around the corner, so the pool and beaches photos should get you dreaming. It’s a great time to start planning your summer escape. Inspire yourself and have a great weekend!
We’ve been fans of kickstarter projects since forever, and we especially like them when we find out about some amazing new inventions in the wacky world of gadgets that get our geeky senses tingling. Today we give to you – drum roll – the freakishly small phone charger! The Devotec Fuel Micro Charger is the smallest emergency phone charger, and its creators actually claim that it probably is the smallest phone device in the world. The project gained a lot of popularity and it certainly raised a lot more money that the guys who created it bargained for. As far…
Called “the most beautifully engineered espresso machine in the world” by its makers, this beauty is a clear tribute to the Grand Prix engines of the 90’s. Containing alloys such as titanium, magnesium and aluminium (just like the ones used in engines raced by people like Schumacher), the Espresso Veloce comes in V10 and V12 configurations and makes a mean Italian coffee. Its oil-filler doubles as a grappa reservoir, while the coffee is served through the exhaust tubes. If that’s not an awesome idea, we don’t know what is! Now in case you wanted to grab one for yourself or…
The Blue Planet aquarium is now open for visitors! If you happen to find your way to Denmark, make sure to drop by the largest aquarium in Northern Europe. It’s located eight km outside of Copenhagen, in Oresund, currently housing over 20,000 fish and other aquatic animals within 53 aquariums. That makes a grand total of approximately 7 million liters of water. Since seawater is required for the cold salt water aquariums, the solution was simple: it is pumped in from the sea using a long tube.
Now we know what you’re thinking: why do I even need a bomb proof watch, if all it’s going to do is survive the explosion better than me? Why create something that is, ultimately, bound to survive its owner and therefore bring no overall satisfaction to him/her post-mortem? Well, it can also survive pressures up to 300 bar. That’s if you ever need to know exactly what time it is while roaming the ocean at a depth 3000 m. Not to worry though – this piece of explosion-proof machinery is virtually impossible to obtain. Only 30 Triggerfish Bronze A2 watches were made, and they…
Canon successfully managed to design the smallest and lightest DSLR yet, for photographers who want all the shebang but none of the weight professional equipment entails. Among its features, it has a newly-developed 18.0 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor, ISO 100-12800 (expandable to H: 25600) for stills and ISO-6400 (expandable to H: 12800) for videos and for shooting from bright to dim light, plus high performance DIGIC 5 Image Processor for incredible image quality and speed. The Touch Screen Wide 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor II (approximately 1,040,000 dots) with smudge-resistant coating features multi-touch operation, which is useful for so many reasons!
(what should be their) Motto: Protect and organize! Designed by Cloud&Co for 11+, the Felt Case is a minimal approach to the iPad/Macbook Air 11″/Galaxy Tablet case. Made out of polyester felt (the label material is made of polyurethane), it takes up little space but offers the same protection to your precious gadgets. Original and stylish, the cases are handmade, with various pockets for your cables and knick-knacks. The inside pocket can even be used as a mousepad!
One of the main feature we’re expecting from a gadget is to make our life easier, and it seems Rollie here can change the way we make breakfast. Apparently making an egg could be simpler! And because I’ve always wanted my eggs in the morning to have an ice-cream on a stick look, this new way to eat breakfast fascinated me. Now get creative, what other omelette-worthy ingredients do you have in your kitchen (hint: bacon, extra-bacon, maybe a slice of bacon will do)? Throw them inside this weird cylinder, and it will cook it for you. With no extra butter…
Warm weather is bubbling up from the puddles left by the recent spring rains (at least in our general area of the map), and we are already dreaming about vacationing somewhere exotic, remote and wild. Even if you haven’t recently watched Into the Wild, the movie that makes anyone want to get away from the city, you might still feel the urge to get up from your dusty desk, empty your cup of stale coffee in the sink, pack a light backpack with only the bare necessities and GO.
Thermodo is a sleek little thermometer for your mobile devices, accurate and expertly built hardware that you can have with you everywhere. Consisting of a passive temperature sensor built into a standard 4 pole audio jack enclosed by a sturdy housing, Thermodo will turn you into a tiny weather station, allowing your mobile devices to “read” the temperature of your surroundings. We bet you’ll trust your own readings more than any meteorological report on TV, as spatial accuracy is key. No network connection required. Plus, Thermodo comes with a keyring, so you don’t lose it. Yes, it’s that tiny.
No, we are not talking about a real rock (as you can see.) But this little gadget is as sturdy as any, designed for skiers and mountain goers. Stay informed about the variations in temperature at different altitudes and receive alerts when temperatures fall below -12° C in order to avoid frostbite danger. Not only that, but with a 3-axis compass, chronograph and an inclination sensor with avalanche warnings thrown in the mix, this gadget might just save your life one day.
Real men wear yellow might be a an overstatement, but you’ll stylishly stand out from the crowd in this outfit.
Formerly available exclusively at 1LDK in Japan, the private brand called Universal Products began in September 2009 and had as its primary aim to never compromise, be it on fabric, aesthetics or quality. This promise is seen in their Bi-Color Crew Neck Knit, with its use of a waffle knit material for enhanced warmth during those breezy, cool spring days ahead. As a visual reminder that the sun is just around the corner, the pullover has a bright block of yellow, giving character to your outfit through contrasts. Pair it up with almost anything, since it’s such a simple-to-match item.
Playing music wirelessly from Bluetooth-enabled devices (such as your smartphone) has never been easier, thanks to this wall mount Bluetooth wall speaker (not to mention that it comes with a built-in FM radio.) Even turning it on and off is fun, and you can do so by simply pulling on the chord attached to the speaker. Specs: a 2W × 2ch output, 172 × 41 × 172 mm speakers’ measurements, supports Bluetooth Ver. 3.0, AVRCP and A2DP profiles and comes with an AC power adapter. Muji aims to make great products at reasonable prices, with a minimum impact on nature. So here you…
If you were wondering what GLCO stands for, let’s just clear that out before we begin: Garrett Leight California Optical, the company founded by (you guessed it!) Garett Leight. Inspired by his California surroundings, GLCO is laid back and sophisticated, showcasing the classic 20th century American styles with a modern twist. The Hampton Chestnut can be worn either as an eyeglass or a sunglass, thanks to the folding acetate sunglass clip. Functional and stylish!
This is an alarm clock that allows you to master time – how? By enabling you to rearrange the cubes in whatever order you deem fit, in order to fulfill your evil plan of confusing everybody about what time it is. The four 2 inch tall cubes can be arranged in any configuration, in the limits of their cable length, of course. Make them the building blocks of the new you – the Time Lord you!
Made out of one piece of Kudu classic leather, these shoes may look like chocolate, but they taste of meat. (No, they don’t really taste of meat, sheesh.) The Kudu, in case you weren’t familiar with the large yet graceful South African animal, is an antelope with strong tight skin. Both sides of the skin can be used, but the outer one often has scars and visible marks from living in the wild, hence this kudu skin has been coated with wax and ironed.
Give your house, room, garage or bar a personal, worm touch with a custom wood panel. When viewed from a distance, it appears as a black & white photo, but in fact is an accurate cut wooden sculpture. The process is pretty simple and straight forward – you upload a photo, and in seconds time you’ll see it converted. You also have some re-touching options, and once you’re happy with your new state of the art wall painting, you can order it and have it shipped.
We saw this coming, and kinda wonder what took them so long – The Finger Swipe Headphones are finally here! They connect wirelessly to your smartphone, laptop, tablet or whatever Bluetooth-equipped music player you may have and let you control the volume, playback by swiping your finger on one of the earpieces. The swipes are pretty natural – up and down for volume control, left or right to skip tracks. The headphones also include a built-in microphone for hands-free calls. The battery can last up to ten hours, and it’s said to recharge in under one hour.

But then again, you might as well just become a fan of this here watch, because it’s just so darn pretty. It also has pleats on the underside of the strap to allow free air passage. Told you. Details.

Described as “conspicuously large, conspicuously beautiful”, the Tangente Datum is an award-winning German timepiece (it won a Good Design Award in 2012) made by Glashütte’s Nomos. Nomos is famous for using 100% in-house movements in its watches, and the Tangente Datum uses caliber β (Beta). As all good designs, this one starts from the inside out: the beta caliber actually helps keep the watch profile slim, while still offering a large, easy to read date ring. Its details are extremely well executed, the watch molding itself around your wrist as if it belonged there. And it does. A combination of Bauhaus and Art Deco, the Tangente Datum…

The secret’s in the production of braided carbon frames, the newest technology that makes the high-performance material lighter than aluminium. The Blackbraid is available in two versions,…

The bookshelf can be adjusted according to your needs, storing books and small items in beautiful, organic shapes.

Hand produced in Germany, there’s little wonder they have a thing resembling a fireplace in the middle. The “fire” coffee tables will most definitely keep your coffee nice and warm; they come in four different sizes and are made of walnut wood and stainless steel. The shipping is free, which would make sense, considering the price. (especially since, if you want the extra-large size, you have to pay $750 extra. Just saying.)
Soapstone cubes designed to chill your Whiskey, Coffee, Beer or Wine to the perfect drinking temp. Enjoy your beverage “On the Rox” We all know how horrible it feels when our coffee gets too cold too fast or that beer won’t stay at its perfect drinking temperature and instead prefers to warm up like a rock in the desert.

Ever dreamed of having a light just like the ones the U.S. military has? Well this particular reading lamp is made just by the good people that supply the military with task lights. Except that you’ll use it for the greater good. It’s pliable, so it provides reading light wherever it is needed without drooping (the brass-coated coils the lamp’s 34″ gooseneck is made from will make sure of that.) Lasting up to 35,000 hours, it does not produce heat, so you can adjust the light angle without the fear of burning your hand.
Since 2009, the Rolls-Royce Ghost has outsold the brand’s flagship Phantom – kind of odd, considering the fact that a ghost is in no way better than a phantom, conceptually speaking. However, seeing this, Rolls-Royce moves The Ghost into the 2013 model year with a bunch of “subtle but meaningful enhancements”. Which is corporate talk for “it looks the same but hey, an extra button was added on the dashboard!” If you’re thinking of buying one of these babies, note that the prices went up $7,050 for the standard model, to $260,750, and $6,400 for the long-wheelbase car, to $300,100 from the start of 2013.
With only 15 days left to fund this project, it’s already passed its $250000 goal. Little wonder: who doesn’t want a router that’s not intimidating to set up and manage for once? This one can be set up completely from its touchscreen, with no added need for a laptop or pc to complete the process. This is “a router for the post-PC era”, a great product that’s easy to use and has an amazing design.

In addition, Tian looks brilliant even when your bike is not hanging on the wall (eg – when you’re out, riding it).
This is so cool, if I’d have one, I’d never ever keep any of my watches on my wrist or smoke any of my cigars. Like a golden era to modern times fortress mash-up, The Fortress is the best name Dottling could have found for this state of the art safe. Because keeping money in a safe is too mainstream, and you’re a rich hipster after all, this safe keeps your watches, cigars and jewellery away from .. well away from anything and anyone.
Introducing 3Doodler, a cheaper alternative to the 3d printer. The doodler allows you to paint with your hand, on paper or up in the air, getting genuine 3d sketches like objects or stuff created solely by your imagination. Instead of ink, the printing pen is fuelled by a plastic colour wire which is heated to the point of melting until right before you start painting printing. A cold air jet blows through the edge of the pen and solidifies the wire almost instantly. The wire material is pretty flexible, but also durable. Just like some ordinary markers, you can draw with different colors by changing the…

First, before your inner housewife of the 40s gets too excited, we have to tell you that this iron station is not actually real yet BUT if Quirky decides to finally make it, it will probably cost around $22.

Magnificent. This watch, that can only be described as magnificent, was designed to celebrate TAG Heuer Honorary Chairman Jack Heuer and is inspired by the two-part construction Heuer stop watches that mister Heuer once used on pro racing circuits around the world. A cool change is that the pushers and crown are positioned on the top of the case instead of on the side. How diversified.

Because now there’s the Blanket Chair. With an added pocket for all your favorite newspapers and magazines.

Ever wondered how you could keep your wine chilled the entire evening, in the eventuality of it not being consumed after the first half hour of your date? The cooling gel in this handy wine stick thingy, also known as a cooling pour spout, not only keeps your alcohol nice and cold, it also doubles as a – you guessed it – spout.

Plants. If you don’t have one in your house/room, get one. It will cheer you up, or at least it’ll impress your lady guests. On the other hand, if you have a plant, give it a present – a plant pot with LED lights. Your room will be transformed instantly.

Made by Pianta x Stanza, the Forestarium is pretty special, and some might argue its price is special too. Our advice is to do it yourself! If you’re not feeling creative…

These watches make a very bold promise: that they can show the time all around the world at once, threatening to overpower your old, only three time-zone-display watch. In addition to the standard 12-hour face showing the local time, these watches feature a flange around the dial bearing the name of 24 cities, each of which represents a different time zone. A 24-hour disc turns at the center of the dial, corresponding to the cities on the flange. You can choose between the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern one, depending on what your needs are, time-wise.

One full charge makes sure you get five hours of warmth.
When Solitary Arts and Taylor Stitch come together, you can bet your sweet ass it’s going to be sweet. This shirt can probably do an Ollie better than you, that’s how awesome it is. The combination of a flannel lining and 13oz denim means that it’s both warm and cool, if you get my pun. Of course, the price of being comfortable and looking good all in one is pretty high, but then again, this baby will probably last more than all your clothes stitched together.

And Instacube, even though it’s still on Kickstarter, will be kickstarted, having reached its funding goal long before deadline.

This lovely sculpted bottle opener looks just like a zombie, yet lacks its dismembering qualities – so you won’t have to expect its teeth/head/intestines to fall out when attempting to open a bottle of beer, nor will it try to hunt you down and eat your brains. As boring as that might sound, the zombie bottle opener will probably delight friends and family alike, being well-suited for an early Halloween-themed present. Being handmade (from carving to painting), models may vary.

The wildly popular and usually very colorful Colombian swimwear brand Agua Bendita is currently the fastest growing companies in its sector. They always work with top models, like Irina Shayk in this case and Bar Refaeli for last year’s collection. All colourful and skimpy the swimwear line sure looks good, but Irina’s kinda stealing the show – at least for us men.
We know your pain. Always misplacing your keys, losing your wallet or TV remote in the vastness of your apartments – it happens to us as well, more often than not. And we have all raised this question at some point in our forgetful lives: “Why can’t I call my stuff?” Now I’m not saying this sticker enables you to call your things, but at least it will give you an inkling of where they are by showing a radar map on the screen of your smartphone.

Designed for the “iPod generation”, the ReBoot does exactly what it advertises (well, conceptually at least) – it reboots the old record player, transforming it into a minimal piece of equipment that has enhanced portability, for those of you who want to listen to records on the go. A little far fetched, this idea might ring a few hipster bells, but we’ll probably not see an actual product ready for selling very soon. Still, it’s pretty cool to say that you have a record player that can be directly plugged into a speaker or have headphones attached.
The principle is as easy as it looks: you get two end pieces of lacquered wood or raw oak fastened with an elastic band to keep your books vertical wherever you want them to be vertical.

The Wi-Fi Combo Kit (which includes the Wi-Fi BacPac and Wi-Fi Remote) will let you control up to 50 cameras at a time from up to 600’/180m in optimal conditions so that you can enjoy full camera control, not to mention that it’s wearable and waterproof to 10’3m. The Wi-Fi BacPac attaches to your camera, enabling long range remote control.
Taking its name from the aftermath of the Cuban Missile Crisis, “The Football” was the easy-to-get-to suitcase of nuclear decision making, coined by JFK for an operation code-named “Dropkick”. Suitcase is passed. Missile drops. It’s a kick. This particular football is neither a missile launcher nor a football. It basically contains everything you need in case of party (especially one of the bachelor variety). The rules and etiquette of using this product advise the purchasers to not discuss the contents of the football with anyone (especially not with the bachelor/birthday boy). Oh, and don’t forget to hand him one of…
With the assembly time a little under 5 minutes, this folding kayak will, however, not sink in the same amount of time. The only thing the Oru Kayak does is making boating simple, easy, and accessible – you can stash it, stow it, hell – even hike with it. And all this without a garage, SUV or roof racks necessary. The Oru Kayak has positive buoyancy and won’t sink even if water gets inside. Size: From a suitcase-sized box… …to the size of 12 feet (3.7 meters) long and weight of 25 pounds (11.3 kg).
From all the multitudes of iPhone and iPod speaker docks on the market, we doubt you’ll find one as big, as imposing and as completely up to partying as the Phillips FWP3200D. Not only is it a party animal, it also comes with awesome bonuses: like an integrated lighting system that throws out various colors from flashing speaking rings in time to the beat. It supports two devices at once and various iPhone and iPod models can be used; hook ’em up on the rotatable docks that have the function of turntables, allowing the guests to spin the device around and pick songs.
This is a DIY project, so be prepared to put some work into making your own Gentleman’s Survival Kit. More pictures after the break.
With this project having been successfully funded on Kickstarter, we are looking at a world that will have people napping in ridiculous-looking Ostrich pillows everywhere! Despite its aspect, it’s actually a very comfy and useful travel/work accessory, and definitely something you might want to consider purchasing in order to fuel your power naps (wherever they might spontaneously occur).
Seems like Australia’s the hottest source of beautiful women. At least on HisPotion, as Genevieve Morton is our third “down under” model who’s awesomeness we’re featuring, after Lucy Bayet and Sarah Stephens.
Feed the little obsessive-compulsive monster inside you and give yourself a useful gift this Christmas: the chance to have all those cables in order and tangle-free. Not to mention the opportunity of having all your gadgets (well, up to 4 anyway) charged wherever you are, using only one adapter. The AViiQ Portable USB Charging Station is lightweight, small and can also charge larger power-consuming gadgets, such as iPads. It comes with a sturdy nylon zip bag, ready to be picked up and taken with you wherever and whenever.
Sneak-peaking into next year’s spring, we get to see beyond this winter’s snows and cold and comfort ourselves with thoughts of fashionable shoes that don’t weigh as much as our legs. The style approaches several themes, not forgetting the leather craft from the Veneto region of Italy. The collection is not available as of yet, but keep an eye out for those holiday pre-orders; the prices are expected to range between $180 and $250. More pictures after the break.
Also called “the iPod of audiophiles”, this portable audio system is not only capable of playing lossless formats like Ogg, FLAC, WAV, WMA and APE (aside the usual MP3, of course), but also Mastering Quality Sound files (MQS) from online stores like HDtracks.com. It’s bulky but packs a lot of punch: it has 32GB of internal storage (expandable up to 96GB via two microSD card slots), a 2,000 mAH battery for up to 16 hours of continuous audio playback, a 2.4-inch touchscreen and, to top the list, a Wolfson 8740 DAC. Another plus is that the AK100 can act as an external DAC for computers…
Once this concept becomes reality, everybody who’s anybody will want to ride out into the sunset on an ARAC ZXS. Designer Marko Petrovic really put everything together beautifully and minimally, even going as far as locking the fuel-injected twin-v motor in an ultra-lightweight aluminum chassis.
As the name rightfully claims, this bike is made to be rode in metropolitan areas, by metropolitan people (who, coincidentally, don’t like getting their pretty clothes all oiled up by their desire to go green). Made out of carbon and aluminum, this particular bike is not only very resistant and strong, it is also pretty stylish and aerodynamic (given its clean line design). And what’s even better is that you can choose whether you want the Metropolitan to be a single-speed or fixed-gear ride (thanks to two different mountable pulleys).
Designer Richard Chai has struck again: these perfectly tailored boots give shoes an architectural approach, combining modern lines with classic elements. Just in case you didn’t know, Chai received the Swarovski Award at the CFDA Fashion Awards in 2010, and was a finalist for the GQ/CFDA Best New Men’s Designer in America. As for the materials used to make these babies… the lining is made of soft sheepskin, the outside is felt, while a one-piece rubber makes the outsole and toe cap durable. The sock liner is leather covered, with an extra padded collar for a little extra cushioning.
Forget porcelain, plastic or -gasp- metal. This is the real deal: an eco-sustainable larch bath tub that is not only fully functional, but also a pretty neat element of design. Smooth to the touch and warm on the eyes, it’s no surprise we all want a wood-based bath tub in our bathrooms right now. Especially since it looks so darn inviting. It requires a little extra care though: make sure that you use only mild soaps when cleaning, that you keep that water temperature below 140-degrees Fahrenheit and that you rinse out after each use.
You’ll look forward to rainy days with this umbrella – just strap it to the back of your kimono (yes, you must also wear a kimono if you wish to battle the Rain God), carry it around at all times and when or if it starts raining, unsheathe it knowingly, with elaborate hand gestures. Bring honor and pride to your family, protecting them with your manly samurai-brella (which is also pretty sturdy and quite well-made).
Spark up a relationship with the Dark Lord, using this perfect replica of one of his horcruxes – his teenage diary.

This exclusive design is out of solid sterling silver, handcrafted with care and attention to detail, so you can see the biohazard danger from feet away!

Presentation box included Unfortunately, if you wanted this item as a Christmas gift, it will not arrive until after the holidays.
Forget those fluorescent bike jackets and other noticeable stickers that prevented you from getting hit by cars while cycling at night. These two thin profile LED arcs (white in front, red in back) that clip on to your wheels will make it obvious that you’re there (and also make you feel like in Tron or something). Light up the night with your wheels, illuminating not only the ground but road signs and elevated obstacles. Revolights provide maximum safety and coolness!
The set celebrates the first 20 years of Tarantino’s career, hand-picked by the man himself and upgraded to Blu-Ray quality.

Also included are two discs with five hours of all-new bonus material. Since this set was released on 20 November, it’s still fresh out of the DVD-making oven, so make sure to pick it up and put it under your Christmas tree. We can’t think of a better way of spending the holidays than watching the…
This amazing (and also limited edition) watch also doubles as a table clock, resembling the marine chronometers produced by Hamilton during the course of WWII. Celebrating the brand’s 120th anniversary, it is reminiscent of Hamilton’s marine chronometers, with a knurled steel bezel, velvet-finish silver dial with Arabic numerals and elegant hands in ocean blue. Hamilton is only releasing 1,892 (a number that commemorates the year that the company was founded) versions of the Navy Pioneered limited edition this December, so be quick in grabbing one.
Made with aircraft-grade aluminum that’s been CNC-machined in America, then bead blasted and hard anodized, The Cell is compact enough (7 inches long with a 1.25-inch diameter) to grab while you’re running away from potential dangerous circumstances. Perfect for any adventurer who likes to keep his gear safe. The team is looking for additional funds, so hear them out and maybe help this baby become reality: Our main objective is to get this piece in your hands at a reasonable price. Whatever disaster or apocalyptic scenario (we lean towards zombie apocalypse obviously) you might believe in, everyone should be prepared. The Cell…
Make your neighbors alert the Humane Societies, by making them think you’re disposing of huge goldfish when, in fact, you’re just taking out the trash. While we don’t think they’d actually alert the authorities, these Suck UK bin bags will certainly make them look twice. These are also great if you’ve run out of gift wrapper, or if you just want to put a smile on the garbage collector’s face.
This is your chance to be so meta that you put your hand on a hand to control that tiny hand on the screen. The perfect gift for the gamer or computer addict in your life, this pixel mouse is a fully functional plug and play mouse for any PC or Mac. We doubt its overall ergonomic capacity, but it looks retro and cute and will probably look good next to all your collectible floppy disks. Features scroll wheel, left right buttons, and USB interface Measures 5″ x 3 1/2″ (standard size mouse)
These blood-splattered coasters are the perfect tool for showing everybody how much of a fan of serial killers who kill serial killers you actually are. Especially handy at dinner parties. Just whip out the wooden box engraved with the Dexter logo and tell people not to annoy you too much tonight, because this is what happened to your guests from last week. Are you a Dexter fan? No, not the cartoon character (although this picture might confuse things a bit):
If you’re still trying to find the right present for your Star Wars obsessed friend (or for yourself, if you’re that kind of person), search no further. Lovers of food and Star Wars combine! These are the chopsticks that have the Force going on for them – be it for good or evil. Whether you like to stab your food to its second death (we recommend the red Sith chopsticks then), or you gently pick the rice up (go green. Be a Jedi.), you get to choose. Or, well, get chosen.
The Hellcat Combat is the World’s fastest Big Block American Twin with a record of 172.211mph set recently on the Salts of Bonneville by Confederate motorcycle collector James Hoegh, who piloted it effortlessly and described it as “Tough, lean, fast and true”, “on the cutting edge of performance”. Only 36 handcrafted examples of this machine are to be made, so if you have $72.000 lying around, you can have one of these 490 lbs babies commissioned just for you.
This is one sweet ride. Look at it. It looks like it’s about to bite through that entire desert and then expel all the dust through its exhaustion pipes of doom. It will, however, probably remain in the concept car limbo, where many wonderful cars go to die and be forgotten. The cool thing about it is that it’s actually thought out, as far as cars go. That roof rack thing is actually a water collection system that begins the process of converting water to hydrogen to power the fuel cells, thus propelling it with, legend says, zero emissions.
This limited edition of only 500 watches is a true homage to the era of Grand Prix racing, when all the driver had on his dashboard were a few huge dials with red arms. Since there were no rev limiters or electronic aids to keep the driver from blowing up his engine, well intentioned mechanics would commonly apply a strip of red tape, or a line of red paint on the glass of the rev counter to make sure the driver knew his engine’s limit at a glance. Autodromo pays homage to this humble practice with our own red line crystal.
Say hello to the world’s most powerful cordless electronic air duster, acting like a hurricane (too soon?) on your electronics and other things you might deem cleanable by the force of compressed air.

RPG fan? Or maybe you just like going to rave parties and taking hard drugs? Either way, this hoodie will match your lifestyle. It lights up, for heaven’s sake! Look at those sleeves!

The Technomancer Hoodie offers ten different spells including fireball, healing, and lightning bolt (lightning bolt, lightning bolt!). Each spell is accompanied by unique…

The perfect gift for budding photographers (the professional ones probably already had enough of everyone’s crappy ‘themed’ gifts), the incredibly realistic but decidedly less expensive camera lens coffee mug will keep your favorite beverage (not only coffee) nice and warm. Not only that, but its lens cap lid is a cookie holder! It’s great quality, but it might need a few pre-washes before using it – some customers have reported that it smells like plastic and infused their drink, which had to be thrown away. Oh, and the cap doesn’t really close the mug, it’s just a lid to keep the heat…
Philippe Starck’s Juicy Salif juicer is probably the most neo-dynamic juicer there is. A word of advice: if asked about the juicer by curious guests, do use the word “neo-dynamic” in casual conversation. Fitting perfectly in your modern lifestyle, the Juicy Salif is aerodynamic (just in case you would want to throw it at someone), made out of aluminium and PA, and, surprisingly, actually capable of squeezing juice out of citrus. Fun story about its “birth”: the squeezer was sketched in its essentials by Starck during a holiday by the sea in Italy, on a pizzeria napkin. Size: 11.5″ height x 5.5″…
Picture you’re having guests over. Now picture all five of them want five different types of coffee, tea, hot chocolate or herb tea with different sugar and milk preferences (On the second ring you can select milk, no milk, lemon or cream. The third ring lets you select between 0 and 3 sugars.). Unless you’re going to write everything down on your little notepad and remember who wanted what, having a few Suck UK Drink Selector Mugs is the next best thing. Pass them around, make them choose what they want and then safely return to your beverage making duties.

Return the much needed space your kitchen demands – stop stacking dishes one on top of the other and all on top of the microwave which is on top of the dishwasher because of lack of space. Try these compact appliances instead. Designer Jan des Bouvrie managed to create a 20 x 20 x 20 cm coffee maker, toaster, kettle and juicer that can each stand alone, but also stack neatly into a square and plug into one central outlet located on the juicer.

I don’t know if Brad Pitt ever considered casting for the famous 007 agent, but if he would have scored it, at some point Brad would have ruined the now longest film series in history. Why? Because he’s bigger than the fictional English character. This point is backed by his new film, Killing Them Softly, a thriller meant to hit the big screens on the 30th of November this year. In anticipation, we have gathered a bit of information on the leading actor, knowing that we are not the only ones so impressed by him.

Glastonbury is the name for the “tent of the future”, as stated by Orange when unveiling this concept. This is a step towards integrating technology and comfort in camping in the middle of nowhere – assuming that you want to have wifi and wireless charging while camping in said middle of said nowhere. Seeing how this kind of beats the point of going camping in the first place, the sophisticated tent might remain a concept. Hey, maybe finding your tent using an SMS message isn’t so bad after all. Maybe the fact that it glows in the dark won’t attract predators or…
Just a prototype as of now, this round washing machine was designed by Bauknecht – the German designer Arman Emami got rid of all those nasty corners and straight lines that would make the appliance fit in any room without wasting any precious space. And speaking of space, the unnamed washing machine looks like a capsule or very small spaceship. For clothes. Because hey, why not? “Although the pragmatic, box-like shape of normal washing machines is logical, it’s totally lacking in emotion” – Arman Emami Let’s hope the futuristic design of the “Bauknecht round washing machine” will become reality soon.
Technology has come a long way, considering we don’t even need to water our plants anymore. Or do anything, for that matter. The lovely hobby that plant tending was has now been smartified (yes. that’s a word now) and turned into a wonderfully marketed thing: the smartpot. It’s perfect for lazy or forgetful gardeners, as it does everything for you – from watering to fertilizing. You still have to harvest them yourself though. If you want to grow another plant, just buy a different plant cartridge. Simple and mess-free.

This limited edition time bracelet marks the 50th anniversary of TAG Heuer. It is also the first ever (Swiss) watch to be worn in space. Fun facts. You need them to impress the ladies. There are 2,012 pieces available. Because hey, what year is this? *nudge nudge* The SpaceX watch has a semi-visible caliber “through smoked-sapphire case back that is overlaid with a rendering of the SpaceX logo and SpaceX’s Falcon 9 launch rocket and the Dragon spacecraft”. Knitted with the historical event, this timepiece is worth the money. (Too bad it doesn’t cost $2012.)
These amazing blue moccasins take the regular moccasin stitching and 1UP it – we just love the oversized stitching, flashy blue color and sharp contrast. The nature of the material, being high quality UK suede and all, makes the shoe not only breathtaking, but also extremely breathable. Everything is all-naturelle, the footbeds being from natural cork.
This is not a suicide mark, nor does it show affiliation to vampires. Or at least, we hope you won’t purchase it for these reasons, for they are neither noble nor desirable. But if you wish to express your genuine love for the miraculous fluid that keeps us all alive while decorating your body with the bright color that red is, then by all means, do. How? With a solid brass bangle that looks like droplets of blood around your thin, pale wrist. Edgy, huh? You can also get a matching necklace and ring. P.S. Free delivery worldwide.
Protect your precious iPad from damage, scratches and bruises in style, with this artisan leather iPad cover in a beautiful chestnut color. Tailored by hand from supple leather and topstitched together, it gives off an antique vibe, due to the bark and leaf pigments used in order to achieve a warm, friendly hue. It fits both the iPad and the iPad 2, allowing the USB socket freedom so that you won’t have to expose the gadget while charging it. Dimensions: 8″L x 10¼”W x ½”H Weight: 0.7 lb.
This reproduction of a vintage early 20th-century French lamp is not meant for those with arachnophobia – capturing the spirit and poise of the original, the brass spider-leg table lamp will spice up any study worth the while. Perched on your massive desk, it will look as though it is ready to crawl away at any given moment and set up a steampunk lamp den in one of the cracks in the wall. Not that we’re suggesting that you do have cracks in your walls. DIMENSIONS 10″ diam., 17″H Weight: 2 lbs.
This note mousepad is so realistic you’ll probably make the honest mistake of writing on it more times than naught. And that’s okay, because the act of swiping your mouse on a written-on surface is the same as swiping your mouse on a non-written-on surface. As long as said surface is high quality mousepad material. Just don’t panic when you won’t be able to turn the page – our advice is: buy more than one, you’ll thank yourself later.
We all know cardboard and plastic door hangers are pretty cool and useful for letting people know you shan’t be bothered – but who needs (or wants) to buy tens of various-messaged pieces when you can get one that you can re-use? Personalizing your “go away, I’m doing something” message is easy and eco-friendly with the chalkboard door hanger. Just erase the previous “Do not disturb” message and replace it with the new, improved passive-aggressive “How about a walk before I break your legs?”. All in one nostalgic chalk-on-board action. The hanger measures 9 1/2″ long and 3 1/2″ wide, hand…
Start a buzz in your office with the new smashed fly stamp. Decorate all your envelopes and stationery with it, prank some co-workers, use it on desks and, why not, even screens, depending on what degree of mischief you possess. It’s a fun way of saying “hello, I can see you’re afraid of insects, let me help you with that.” It can also be a very thoughtful gift for those with phobias aimed at flies.
We assume that you’re the type of guy that enjoys riding his classy bike to work every morning, because you care about both the environment and your overall fitness levels. And seeing how your suit doesn’t really match the wheels, these cufflinks will make all the difference. Crafted with a french cuff shirt in mind, the chainring bicycle cufflinks will spice up your outfit and spark up conversations. They are available in bright and shiny sterling silver, antique bronze, and matte stainless steel, but they’re pretty similar – so you can safely mix and match. No boring days for you, that’s for sure.
Antonija Misura is a Croatian basketball player, and probably the most beautiful woman of this year’s Olympic Games.
Control the skies (in limited amount and size) from your iGadgets (including but not limited to the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch) by commanding this cute 3 channel gyro helicopter. Measuring 6 x 3 x 4 inches and weighing only one pound, this fierce piece of RC will probably last a long time (unless you fly it into a wall at high speed). Still, its metal frame has been tested and proven to withstand dozens of crashes. This might just be the toy for the clumsy. The mini helicopter charges directly from the controller which uses “AA” batteries.
New this fall – the Zara structured chinos (with belt). Complete your already fashionable outfit with these classy grey pants. They only come in two shades of grey, as opposed to fifty, but that book sucks. So there. They also come in brown, but I do recommend the grey because they look much better among falling leaves. Especially if you have a matching scarf and a cup of hot coffee to-go.
If you really want to feel special and famous, pick one of these guitar picks. Made out of one of the rarest types of leather in the world – Shell C0rdovan – they will last longer, look better and feel softer on your precious artist fingers. Now in case you were wondering why this leather is so rare, here’s the inside info: every 2 sq. ft. hide takes between 6 and 7 months to make, the actual material being an equine leather made from the fibrous flat muscle beneath the hide of the horse.
Keep your smartphone charged while you go about your day, running your errands on your bike, with DIY electricity. Pedal your way to self-sustained battery charging with the ECOXPOWER – not only will it charge your gadgets, it will also motivate you to go faster, for the faster you go, the faster it charges. What a deal!
This wonderful concept has recently been finalized and released by designer Steel Drake. With futuristic edges and sharp contrasts, the new SF1 Mercedes Benz looks (and probably feels) like the future. Let’s just hope it’s an immediate one, as opposed to having to wait for this to hit the market at full throttle.
Give yourself the ultimate peace of mind, you egotistical alcoholic piece of s%$^ with this combination bottle stopper. It will keep your alcohol safe – and if you forget the combination due to the excessive amounts of alcohol ingested, it will also be safe from you and nobody will be able to drink it again ever and it will end up in the hands of your grandchildren who will make impossible amounts of money by selling it on Craigslist.
This iPhone case really is stunning. Literally. Not only does it look good, it will also shoot 650K volt of electricity into your assailant. What a hoot.
Fall is coming, plus you should really get rid of those shorts, they don’t really fit the night-life style. Neither do the sunglasses here, but keep them close. They’ll come in handy for your morning after Starbucks walk. Pierre Hardy Flannel high Top Sneakers $520, J Brand Denim Tyler Straight-leg Cotton Jeans $205, All Saints Blixa Shirt $135, Asos iPhone Cardholder $17, All Saints Print Cigarette Jeans $120, Asos Wrap-Around Leather Watch $43, Ecoland Men’s Tank Top $15, Quay Eyewear Round Sunglasses $31, Diesel Only The Brave Iron Man $61
Mika Becktor is the designer of this here GreenCase – an environmentally-friendly laptop case concept (which also doubles as a workstation). Safe to say, the project was unsuccessful in reaching its funding goal – maybe because the case looked like something you could make yourself out of a pizza box or an actual laptop box, or maybe it just looked downright unattractive. Whatever the reason, we applaud the initiative of making eco-friendly laptop cases. We, however, frown upon the fact that the initiative produced a tacky looking cardboard abomination to style.
Ryan Jongwoo Choi designed the most useful cup holder yet. The Smart Holder will turn you into Spiderman, allowing your now superhuman hands to carry as many hot cups as you want – at once. If you’re a clumsy person whose dream is to be a bartender or waiter, this is the best help you can get. Inspired from the Yin/Yang symbol, the holder will boost your inner peace while proudly delivering beverages to your amazed friends.
Clean lines. Simple geometry. Minimalist approach. Sharp contrast. Comfortable. Practical. Smooth. Silent. The Architect stylus is, despite its name, not only for architects. It can also be successfully used by you, doodle-making normal person. And by you, list-writing iPad owner. And by you as well, Sudoku-playing on-the-go dad. It’s basically a very useful tool (especially for people with thick fingers and little precision in tapping on the wonderful screens of the present).
In case you see yourself as a big fan of Noah and his early work but don’t want to build your own ark, good news: the young Dutch designer Joost van Veldhuizen made the NOAH Cradle. Perfect for being used as a swing, bed, bedswing, swingbed, cradle for your kid, place to gather all your pets in case of an incoming apocalyptic storm (and all other possible combinations).
If you’re constantly losing your grip on your gadgets and letting them fall on your face and/or floor, the FlyGrip can fix that. It’s as simple as it looks, but ultra effective against those unintentional slips-of-the-hand. Never drop your smartphone, e-book reader or tablet again, ever. Ergonomically designed to fit comfortably around your fingers, this little plastic item that is probably overpriced for what it is will provide a full range of motion for your thumb to navigate the entire display.
Or the new geek sneakers from designer Christian Louboutin. “Mother of satin-sneaker God”, one might say. “Mother of board”, one might add. The design on them is hand sewn to look like the motherboard of a computer, while the satin upper will give you extra style points. A little overpriced for a pair of shoes, but hey, it’s Louboutin’s 2012 Fall/Winter collection – what did you expect?
Celebrate the end-of-summer madness by doing something big – like buying a boat. But not any boat, oh no. If you really want to celebrate summer days gone by with one last barbecue, better make it great: try dining on the barbecue boat, complete with a built-in barbecue grill, umbrella, and trolling motor that provides waterborne cookouts for up to 10 people. You get to cook your food, store your food, use your food as bait for fish – whatever. You’re on a barbecue boat, you get to do whatever you want because you’re that awesome.
Feeling nostalgic? Want to listen to music the good ol’ way? Only have a small-speakered iPhone that doesn’t quite get the volume you require? Search no further. The Japanese company Pleiades decided to make a vintage inspired piece of acoustic amp that not only looks the part, it performs for the part. The gold (or silver) plated brass is so shiny it can also double as a pretty good mirror.
Never miss a shot. If you were dying to get to that police department sooner and without having done anything incriminating, here’s a pretty handy solution: get the new camera holster that makes you look armed and dangerous. Stress the hell out of your models by removing your SLR with cowboy-like speed and pointing it at their faces while making gun noises. What a thrill.
Feel like a rockstar while singing with your hairbrush as a microphone – this indoor mist fan will create microdroplets of mist that will enhance your performance for a maximum of one whole second before evaporating and becoming invisible to the eye. Cool, huh? No, I’m serious, this is actually cool. Without being annoyingly humid. You can also choose to use this without the mist, but why would you buy a special fan if you intend to use it as a traditional fan?
This little helper is the cutest little printer that ever printed. Equipped with a creepy smiling face and wireless connection, this bad boy will print the hell out of those lists you need or out of that news you really wanted to read on paper instead of a screen, thus killing a few trees in the process. You jerk.
We’re back with another beautiful Swedish model/actress. Her name is Camilla Thorsson, and while her photos in the gallery below prove her modelling skills, her acting career is way too brief for her beauty. You can watch her in the 2006 film Sing Now or Forever Hold Your Peace (a.k.a. The Wedding Weekend) as Elsa. The film’s rating isn’t so good, but Camilla convinced me and I know what’s on my TV screen tonight. As a model, she’s covered magazines like Elle, Marie Claire and Vogue, and walked the runway for Iceberg, Thierry Mugler, Nina Ricci, Vivienne Westwood.
So you like Dungeons and Dragons. But more than that, you’re the kind of guy who also enjoys the odd game of chess from time to time. Why not combine your two incredibly geeky passions into one huge ball of geekery? Try the D&D inspired chess set, complete with detailed dragon pieces and a very impressive transparent chessboard that lets you see hidden treasures and dragon skeletons.
I know Tron is already old news, but just look at this mouse set! Look at it! It’s shiny and futuristic and will make any tech fan wet. Unless you’re against Tron altogether, in which case you’ll probably just stay dry and impassive, as the soulless creature that you are, because Tron is an amazing idea and you know nothing. Passive-aggressive rant aside, one of the cool things about this gaming mouse is its tracking glow trail as you swipe it on the mat.
Take your regular Godsmack “I stand alone” song, change “stand” into “swim” and you got yourself a situation. If you prefer to explore deep waters alone, you have a potential problem. Even if you’re a professional swimmer, leg cramps or unexpected movement-impairing-issues can arise, so don’t assume you’re perfectly safe. Now designers Wu Xuexing, Zhu Linghui and Zhu Peizheng know you’re too awesome to swim with various inflatable objects attached to your body, so they created an incognito life-saving concept: the self rescue bracelet.
“The textures and flavours Otto extracts from the coffee are unique. It’s unlike any other brewing system.” – Emily Oak (Former director and judge – World Barista Championships) If you’re ready to commit to a lifetime of perfectly brewed espressos and meticulously textured milk, then we highly recommend you purchase this fine piece of stainless steel equipment. Not only is it easy to use, it’s also easy to clean and portable – free of any moving parts or electronics, it uses thermodynamic engineering to bring you the best possible cup of coffee every time.
As punny as the name might be, this particular fridge magnet is not a leg-opener; it’s just a leg-shaped-thingamabob that opens bottles. Now if by any chance those bottles contain alcohol and that alcohol is offered to susceptible females in party-like circumstances, then yes, it could also be a leg opener. But that’s not 100% certain so don’t be disappointed when your pick-up strategy doesn’t work. I mean hey, you still have a pretty attractive stainless steel leg to caress. That’s better than nothing.
Carefully handcrafted from calf skin leather, this nautically-inspired wallet will hold your cash, cards, phone, condoms, mints, tiny notes with attractive-female-phone-numbers on them – you name it. Every wallet is custom made, so you’ll be able to place an order corresponding to your needs.
Coffee lovers don’t use machines. The small Danish company who created this disposable coffee machine thought about your convenience as well as the Planet. The Coffeebrewer pouches guarantee an exceptional caffeinated experience while being 100% eco-friendly.
For hard cold drinkers. Feast your eyes on this handmade beverage stone that is bound to make your drinking times more fun than other people’s less interesting drinking times. And then you’ll be able to pretend you’re actually drinking the nectar of the Gods directly from the sacred rock of beverages while the others are drinking from unimpressive regular beer cans. And then the little egomaniac inside you will be pleased.
The perfect breakfast appliance is up for grabs; the two-in-one toaster will not only toast your bread, it will also poach your eggs and warm up your meat (puns not intended, it actually does those things).
So we offer this shirt today in the spirit in which it was created two weeks ago, before the shooting, and when we were very much looking forward to The Dark Knight Rises: We really like Batman and chemistry. Also called (Sodium*16) + Batman, this awesome T-Shirt will make you look great while watching the new Batman movie, while fighting crime or while wearing shady superhero costumes. Just make sure this is under that cape of yours.
Breaking news for the alcohol addict in you: there is now the possibility of furnishing your home with alcoholic-themed items. The giant champagne cork stool or table (depending on how you want to use it) is one of the most versatile bottle parts ever. You can even put champagne glasses on it – this is as meta as it gets. The fine quality Portuguese cork used to make this baby guarantees a lifetime of happiness and cool cocktail parties.
The most innovative joystick on the market is now at the tip of your fingers, to have and to hold until overusing do you part. The liquid silicone technology allows amazing game control while the sturdy suction plate secures it to your phone without scratching or damaging the screen.
Is eating human flesh giving you a case of bad breath? Is that pesky halitosis making hot zombie girls stay away from your sexy corpse? Are you upset nobody ever thought zombies require special oral care? Hoxton Street Monster Supplies heard your complaints, and came up with the ‘anti brain-breath startlingly strong mints’, designed to blast away the smell.

It’s not only good for the environment, it’s also quite easy on the eyes, having an attractive design with a winning color-combination that is bound to take you places (in more ways than one).
This amazing app designed for picky music lovers is free. Now that I’ve got your attention, let us delve into the details of the matter at hand: the Band Of The Day app will deliver you a new artist every day. It will be like having your very own electronic music magazine delivered every morning by your very own delivery boy on a bike. Only without the delivery boy on the bike part. With the artist, you’ll also get full streams of the artist’s top songs, videos, photographs and more. A band a day keeps the boredom away, or so we’d…
If you happen to have one of the following: iPhone 4S, 4, iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 3G, iPhone, iPod touch (4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st Generation), iPod nano (6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd Gen), you’re in luck.

Dzmitry Samal, the former car designer turned eye wear manufacturer now has a line of timepieces. This watch collection is the first ever to have a concrete case, and I must agree they look great. The price isn’t very high for a Swiss Made timepiece, but the sad news is this will be a limited edition of only 100 watches. The straps are made of rubber, and attached to them are 42mm steel cases which are wrapped in polished concrete. Dzmitry, the line’s designer created it with big city life and pop art in mind, and he seems to have succeeded…

More features! Rugged, weather-proof, ergonomic design Crisp resolution with optional 2X E-Zoom and Freeze Frame Small and lightweight, at 12 ounces…
Like the Super Secret Spy that you are, your gadgets should also be amazing and Super Secret. This GPS poses as a stylish timepiece, fooling the puny humans around you into thinking it can actually tell the time. (Well, to be honest, it’s a pretty accurate time-teller as well. It has settings for alarms, chimes and vibration alerts. It also functions as a timer, stopwatch and world clock.) But seriously now, this is the perfect equivalent of a handheld GPS system for outdoor adventurers. Plan your routes, mark waypoints, share data wirelessly, take a swim – yes, it’s also waterproof! It also…
This hand-crank generator provides 10 Watts of power at 120V via US standard outlet interface, offering you a fast recharge of gadgets such as iPhones, iPads, Digital Cameras, AA and AAA battery chargers, Kindles, tablets, flashlights etc. Because that camping trip in the middle of the forest won’t give you outlets – you can now recharge all your electrical stuff manually using the K-Tor Pocket Socket.

Small, light, easy to take with you on longer camping trips, a bit difficult to…

With just a few days left until the London 2012 Olympic Games, you have to be prepared, clothing-wise. You can’t just show up there without sporting one of these comfortable cotton vintage t-shirts, showing your support for these games through the years. All the other fans will be wearing updated 2012 shirts. You’ll be the proud owner of 1992, 1984, 1932 etc. t-shirts.
Look and feel like a million bucks – or, well, one hundred in this case – with the wallet that looks like a stack of $100 bills. Momentarily forget that you’re actually broke, make everyone jealous and even attract potential robbers! The only instance in which buying this would be acceptable is as a gag present for a friend you think is a superficial douchebag.
As a child, Michea Crawford wanted to be a translator or a flight attendant, but happily, future held something better for her, and us. Why keep her beauty away, behind a fancy curtain that separates first class from the rest of the world? There is a God! Michea is a model, not a supermodel – “Not yet” she confesses to a Canadian online publication: “but I’ll be there because I’ve been approached by Victoria’s Secret and Sports Illustrated”. She’s currently in-demand, doing shoot after shoot after shows like New York Fashion Week (where she currently lives), or lingerie/bikini/fashion spreads for magazines like…
These DIY shoes are the dream come true of any true environmentalist fashion-conscious person. You can now start collecting the building blocks to your own mix-and-match shoe collection with the Urshuz shoes. The soles are detachable, letting you play with fashion as if with Lego – very cool, very colorful, very eco-friendly. But, unlike Lego, these are a pleasure to step on.
The only drawback of this flask is its too-realistic design that allows one to accidentally have a vodka-filled iPhone instead. Designer Dhanai Holtzclaw thought the iPhone flask would be a minimalist way of hiding the fact that you’re a raging alcoholic – but seriously now, even if you carried coffee shots in this it would still be a cool way of carrying beverages around.
Super-slim at .50″ thin and amazingly lightweight at 2.66lbs. If it weren’t so gorgeous you might not even notice it. Its SuperBright™ Plus display is up to twice as bright as your old laptop, being able to reproduce up to 16 million colors.
What sets this particular smartphone apart from other similar smart-phones, you ask? Its IQ? No. But the fact that it has a projector helps. Offering great definition and capable of projecting for as far as 2 m away, the Samsung Galaxy Beam shows images as large as 50 inches wide. Not to mention its cool Ambiance Mode, which decorates your ceiling, wall, fridge, sleeping dog, with images and videos. Project the galaxy on your ceiling while sleeping, project floating candles while eating, project Princess Leia while, erm. Yeah. Let’s just stop there.
It’s small, attractive, and even gives you flowers Track your fitness progress in an easy-to-use, easy-to-carry-with-you way – the Fitbit opens a door towards a healthy lifestyle (even if you’re the busy business-type). It shows the amount of steps taken, the number of miles traveled, the calories burned and the calories consumed.
VAMP features a 150mW x 2 amplifier, dedicated pure Digital-Analog-Convertor, VQ audio enhancements, optical audio output and backup battery all integrated into a solid metal case that transforms an ordinary iPhone 4/4S into a sophisticated and stylish high fidelity device.
Featuring lovely bloody footprints, this bath mat will turn every shower into a scene from The Shining. I think you’d better just change your morning alarm tone into Jack Nicholson saying ‘Here’s Johnny’ now. Why wait? The back of the mat is non-slipping – you wouldn’t want to actually bleed on your already-bleeding bath mat, would you?
Just a suggestion: this summer, wear cotton. It’s light, easy to sweat in, easy to wash, easy on the skin. Not that we’re assuming you’d like the easy way out, but, trust us, when the heat hits you over the face like an angry pimp, you’ll be regretting that polyester shirt you chose for the day. Not that we’re trying to tell you what to wear or something, but seriously now – wear cotton. You’re welcome.
“The Martha Stewart of Junk”, Ki Nassauer’s alias in the virtual (and non-virtual world), is the editor-in-chief of Fleamarket Style magazine, founder of JunkMarket and the creator of these wonderful up-cycled shelves. They look classy and not-hard-to-make, at least not for crafty guys such as yourself. You basically have to wander around flea-markets, find cheap second-hand luggage, trim them down to the desirable shelf size and mount them on the wall like the proud catch that they are. Who needs boar heads in their study anyways?
Make your bum look fabulous at the poolside, at the seaside, at the whatever side you want, you name it. Clad your beach-ready-bod in polyester and take a refreshing dip in the salty water. Get checked out today.
The well-known “time is money” saying applies in this case more than in others, since the IWC Portuguese Tourbillon Retrograde Mystery makes you pay a lot of money for your time – literally.
Great price: these are currently at 50% off their original $ 340.00 price, so grab them while the offer lasts! Good. Now that I’ve gotten your attention, let’s move on to the finer details of the matter – the Y-3 Aqua Shell. They’re designed by Yohji Yamamoto for Adidas with the noble thought of bringing ocean-wear to the urban environment.
Vacu Vin have come up with this sleek rapid ice cooling carafe that performs the very important task of looking cool while actually being cool. How cool is that. It basically allows drinks to be chilled instantly, without using any ice.
These Shore Leave green suede shoes are fitted with a very red sole, thus making contrasts meet in a very observable manner. They’re an intersection between suede and leather, between green and red – and we all know such contrasts draw attention. Why not become the guy-with-really-cool-shoes? Why not be the dude about whose well-dressed feet all talk about? Go forth and be awesome.
You can now be accessorized like Lord of the Rings, but more so. Instead of only one ring, you get three! How exciting is that! I bet Sauron would be jealous. But seriously now, these three rings can not be used in the Beyonce way (which I feel I must clarify, for if you liked it then you should have put a ring – or three – on it), nor in the Frodo way (which I feel I must not clarify). The Three Rings Necklace is barely a vintage brass collection of rings that have no magical quality whatsoever… unfortunately. But they do look hell-a good.
Do you always remember to bring your umbrella with you? No? Neither do we. Which is why this concept is probably a very good idea for those who don’t usually check the weather reports before going out. If you like to be spontaneous with your outgoings, you probably won’t mind the weather either way, but just so you know, designer Mikhail Belyaev thought up the very useful Lampbrella. An umbrella for, you guessed it, street lamps. The concept is designed to open when rain is sensed, something like “my rain senses are tingling”, but a little more scientific. In addition to…
The Frame Handle (a.k.a. “The Little Lifter”!) is a comfortable, stylish, sturdy, and easy-to-use leather handle for carrying your bicycle, whether it’s up the stairs, across the tracks, or into the metro.
Caffrey’s Irish Ale was re-launched in 1994 (since the Caffrey family was already brewing in the late seventeen hundreds, a few decades after Guinness was founded). The beer was described through the following: it could be served as cold as lager, its texture would be as smooth as stout, while its taste was that of an ale.
This four-door coupe is bigger (4.4 inches (111 mm) longer than its 2-door coupe sibling), better and, perhaps, more good-looking. (not to mention the big 4+1 seats that can fit your entire family… provided that the tall ones sit in the front, because the curved roof makes the back seats suitable for short people only. Unless you like sitting in weird positions. Cause that’s cool too.)
For those chilly summer nights up in the mountains, when just a T-shirt no longer suffices, you can always wear a thicker T-shirt. Resembling a regular sweatshirt (but short-sleeved!), this shirt by Diesel has been constructed in a cotton marl and has been styled with chinos. Adopt a laid-back style, matching your outfit with the summertime sky gradient.
These particular beds help you sleep better. How? With Omni-Pendulum or “Floating Motion”, a proven, natural sleep aid. It’s simple, it feels great, and has many benefits. Having two lines (for both indoor and outdoor use), the Floating Bed™ is perfect for when you want to have guests over (and impress the hell out of them with your cool bed), for your kids, or just for, you know, hanging around (if you know what I mean). You can order one by contacting the nice people from Floating Beds™ directly.
If you happen to have 11 friends that want to take a trip on your (very expensive) yacht, this is the (very expensive) boat for you! Fitting 12 (very rich) people, the Wider 42 truly is wider. Wider Yachts was founded by Tilli Antonelli in April 2011 and has been more and more successful ever since.
The power cell is very small and will fit in any pocket. This is the best portable charging product on the market for the money. If you ever needed (and hey, who doesn’t) a universal rechargeable mobile battery bank, you’re in luck. The Innergie PocketCell does exactly that: it recharges everything USB, including but not limited to tablets, smartphones, mp3 players, portable game consoles, vibrators, cameras, and so on. More details: Charge over 10,000 USB devices Fast USB Charging Multi Built-in Protections Energy Saving Cool cable, small size, light weight, and promise of power protections.
Albeit small and compact, these very powerful and precise speakers are just that: powerful and precise. Now you might say that redundancy is redundant, but these powerful speakers really are powerful. And small, measuring a foot tall and weighing slightly less than 10 pounds – which makes them very portable and easy-to-take-with-you-on-trips.
We all know that guy. The extreme douchebag, the dude that wears his shirt one-button-too-open, his pants one number too small and lets his curly chest hair show. The dude who tries to hit on underage girls. The one who uses industrial amounts of perfume and product. The one whose sunglasses are still on his face during parties. Because he’s that cool. That guy? Don’t be that guy. [Adsense200x90] Here’s a handy list of what not to do. Don’t: [list_icon color=red type=icon_not] Crash a party, drink all the remaining alcohol and puke in the host’s flowers. Pass out in your…

Do you know what time it is? It’s that time of year when everybody kicks off their already-way-too-worn autumn/winter shoes and starts wearing sandals. Yes, it’s the season of the sandal! And we’re not ashamed to say it. The Romans and Greeks rocked this style way back when, so why shouldn’t you? Be super manly with a pair of Buttero leather sandals. (The toga is optional). P.S. the shoes are handmade in Italy, and I assume you know the saying: ‘when in Rome’… ‘pretend you’re a gladiator and wear their shoes.’ Well, that’s not exactly the saying but whatever. Go…

Let’s say you want to sleep. And let’s say it’s noon on a hot July day. And let’s equally assume that you have a normal bed, with a normal mattress, with normal windows that only open so far.

Always use protection “We want people to be excited about using protection”, said the creators of the TAKTIK on their Kickstarter page. TAKTIK’s shockproof suspension features a patent-pending 9mm Impact Truss silicone perimeter compressed between two durable Ballistik polymer bezels or anodized aluminum bezels. They used GORE, the leader in environmental protection, to create a hydrophobic barrier for the speaker and mic porting.
Aston Martin’s range-topping Vanquish, based on the AM 310 concept shown at this year’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, is a celebratory model used to mark the company’s centenary and only a few months away from an official reveal (which will be at the 2012 Paris Auto Show in September).

Modern, with an aggressive look, this 6-liter V12 and 565 HP supercar breaks the 0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds, yet still focusing on lightweight construction rather than on outspeeding its competition.

From pocket watch to wrist watch to cellphone, we have gone through different stages of keeping track of our revolution around the Sun. Fortunately, the idea of a pocket watch is classy enough to survive the test of, erm, time, thus making its glorious comeback. A collaboration between L.A. horologists March Labs and French object d’art store Colette brought about this black beauty of a timekeeper, with its snakecoil chain and PVD finish. Be ahead of the times with the pocket watch only Darth Vader would wear. If you’re not afraid to join the Dark Side of being a gentleman, that is.

No, we’re not telling you to throw your trusty PC out the window and actually switch to Mac. We’re just assuming that you have a PC and a Mac. Or that someone, somewhere, has a Mac from which you’d like some files. And what easier way to sync up two laptops than by using the Switch to Mac cable. Just plug it in in both computers and set up a nice little bridge for all that data. The cable performs high speed data transfer at 480Mb/s and works out of the box with no installation needed.

It’s time to hit that off-road while getting dust everywhere, from the seats to the little cup holders in the middle. That’s right! It’s time for an off-road convertible! Land Rover decided that this would be a good idea, hence the concept vehicle presented to you below. It’s fairly attractive, with a somewhat bulky front and very tall sides.

The Evoque Convertible proudly houses a smooth 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine with direct fuel injection which delivers 240 hp to all four wheels through…

Have you seen ‘Up’? You know, that cute animation with the grumpy old man who decides to escape the city by tying a gazillion balloons to the roof of his house? No?

Whether you’re a born adventurer, climbing the Everest every two weeks, or, on the contrary, just a couch-potato slowly baking his way into a chip in his living-room, you should use this summer in order to push your limits. No, not baking your way into a chip in your yard instead of the living-room. But actually doing something more. Expanding your horizon and trying new things. Let’s face it, routine can be a pretty boring thing if done properly – why not become a lousy routiner? (Yes, that’s a word now. Deal with it.) You were born for great things…

These classic Italian suede shoes are perfect for driving – hence being called ‘car shoes’. Initially I thought they were made from spare car parts but that was apparently a little too far-fetched, even for the 21st century. Comfortable to the point of falling asleep in them (which isn’t such a good idea if you’re driving but hey, comfort above safety, right?), they’re also stylish to the point of people starting to come to you for fashion advice. Their 3-holes accommodate laces that come in beige and red.
As I type, I’m listening to The Animals – House of the Rising Sun – it’s Sara’s favorite song, or so she states on her modelfeed page. She’s also having a good time listening to Kings of Leon, Yann Tiersen, Franz Ferdinand and La Roux, but her favorite music doesn’t end with those. She must be cool, I think to my self – but of course she is, she’s an international model after all , most of them are. Yes, Sarah Stephens is a model, from Australia but currently living in New York. She’s 21 years old and she likes to read.…
Hey, remember how a few days ago everybody was crying over Game of Thrones? (ahem, season 3, episode 9, if you haven’t watched it yet.) Anyway, to honor the wounded fans we’d like to share this awesome toilet decal. Because where else is a man king, if not on his porcelain throne? It may not be iron, but it’s yours (plus the obvious benefits of not getting brutally murdered like some characters we know.) Strike fear into the hearts and loins of visiting enemies. Hold court while taking a dump, if you feel so inclined. Whatever you want–you’re king.
The bike has in recent years become a natural part of men’s fashion. This spring we leave high-tech and Italian racers behind us. Now it’s back to basics! Consider a real workhorse in the form of quality bicycles Swedish Arrow, British Pashley, Danish Velorbis or any sturdy handmade bike from Massachusetts, USA.
Warning: the old ‘I can’t afford taking her anywhere nice, so we’ll just continue with our routine, order a pizza and watch a movie instead yet again’ is no longer applicable once you’ve read this article. So you’ve been dating for a while. She’s great – she’s everything you’ve ever hoped for and understands your twisted sense of humor. You can spend hours in bed – ahem – talking about anything. She likes her fries with ice-cream too and you’ve already watched the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, the extended version, twice. But something feels different. With the added…
This spring, there was a breakthrough in the way rich people travel by plane, with the installation of an upper class bar and cabin in a wide-body Airbus A330. The entire airplane was redesigned by VW+BS Studios, including the first ever 87 inch (220 cm/7 foot 2 inch) bed surface – longer than any other airlines business class bed. The bar itself is very futuristic (belonging in the sky), placed separately from the cabin and creating a meet-up point for passengers, enabling them to have a drink and socialize in the sculptural aluminum stools.
By mixing modern design with traditional craft technique, this LED illumination device gives the impression of solid wood radiating light. Which may or may not be entirely true. The wood part is true enough. The solid part, not so much. The wooden shell is actually very very thin, chipped using a special Japanese technique called ‘Rokuro’. The socket is aluminum, giving the ensemble a modern feel. This kind of lamp is especially useful in wooden cabins, as it will blend in with the woodiness of it all. Having won the Kyoto renaissance design competition, the wooden light bulb is still under…

Have you ever wondered what life would be like without a mouse to guide your cursor on the screen of your laptop? ‘Well, it would be like having a touch-pad’, you might reply, eyebrow raised. No, it wouldn’t. Because the Leap is a way better and much more natural solution to the ol’ touch-pad/mouse combo. ‘But what is the Leap?’, you ask. Well, dear reader, the Leap is ‘a small iPod sized USB peripheral that creates a 3D interaction space of 8 cubic feet to precisely interact with and control software on your laptop or desktop computer’, sensing not only your hand and…
We recommend you take a look at this brilliant urban design by Gunes Peksen, as it ecologically imitates ripples of water. The house also integrates actual water in its construction, continuing the aquatic theme with the pool it has right in the middle. The white structure cascades from the inside out, creating a flowing movement that is as pleasing to the eyes as an ocean would be.
The last stop for this paper airplane will be under your door, holding it open for you. Not a very positive outcome for our little paper (well, ABS Plastic. Close enough.) friend, but hey, it’s a living. While it will unfortunately fall with quite a bang if you attempt to fly it, it will most certainly keep your door firmly in place. Eh, benefits and drawbacks, right? The cute 8 1/4 inches long by 4 inches wide not-paper airplane is the perfect gift for yourself friends and family. And yourself. Just buy one. For yourself.
At the intersection of Fine Watchmaking Street and Fluid Mechanics Avenue, one can find this particular titanium watch. Its hydro system is interlaced with the mechanical movement in a fine, waterproof system. The two flexible reservoirs contain a fluorescent liquid and a transparent viscous liquid; as the fluorescent one advances, it interacts with the other liquid in the tube, thus telling the time. The principle: the two reservoirs are at 6:00, and as the first one compresses, the other one expands (and vice-versa), allowing the liquid to move in the tube. At 18:00, the fluorescent liquid comes back to its original position, going backwards.…
If you ever happen to find yourself in Shanghai, China, not knowing where to stay for the night, we recommend the local Holiday Inn. I know, I know, the name doesn’t inspire much luxury and doesn’t quite scream ‘upscale experience’, but trust us – with their suspended swimming pool, you’ll be as upscale as possible. 24 stories high upscale, that is. The pool is a 30 m long reinforced construction that virtually hangs from the side of the building’s 24th floor. Since the pool was most definitely designed to give guests an extreme experience of air-swimming, we wouldn’t recommend such…

Tron called. He wants his watch back. Following the minimalist principle up to the point in which it doesn’t even have a regular strap – it snaps shut – the Revolutio makes its name proud.

So get ready to throw your old big-hand-little-hand watches away and start learning how to read the new rotating-rings one. Way cooler.

Daniel Pouzet, a Parisian designer, has come up with the amazing Swingrest, exclusively for the German manufacturer DEDON. The basic idea of this chair is that you get to swing while you rest.

I’m fully aware of the multitude of watches we’ve practically showered you with until now but bear with us – One: we genuinely love watches. Two: this one is too awesome not to share. Three: time is cool. Four: time can get even cooler if you own one of these.

Cinemagraphs are kinda new, and kinda awesome. via Manlish What Are Cinemagraphs? Cinemagraphs are still photographs that incorporate subtle, repeated motion in certain parts of the image, creating a striking juxtaposition between motion and stillness. Unlike traditional photographs or videos, cinemagraphs offer a hybrid experience that holds the viewer’s attention with an almost magical quality. Typically saved as GIFs or short looping video files, cinemagraphs focus on small, deliberate movements—like the gentle rippling of water, the flicker of a flame, or the swaying of hair in the wind. This restrained use of motion makes cinemagraphs uniquely captivating, offering just enough…

Diane Kruger, born Diane Heidkrüger on July 15, 1976, in Algermissen, Germany, has established herself as a prominent figure in international cinema. Instead of presenting Diane as the talented actress that she is, I could just as well be talking about her graceful ballet career – if it wasn’t for an injury that put an end to her dream of becoming a ballerina, that is. All things happen for a reason is a great argument, but let’s not get all philosophical here. This is about beauty, and Diane Krueger excels in this topic. In this respect, her early top fashion…

Other color combinations have names like ‘Gravel Canvas’, ‘Navy Speckle Canvas’ and ‘Brown Twill’. The Rise of the Anti-Hero In a world inundated with polished designs and predictable aesthetics,…
We all know women prefer bad boys. The rough, mean, leather-wearing, motorcycle-owning, overall bad to the bone kind of guys. But there comes a time in every woman’s life when she gets tired of not being called back or having to ditch the classy fast food joint her bad boy took her to on their anniversary (after having forgotten about it in the first place) because he didn’t have enough money to cover the $5 tab. Tragic. Consequently, this article is about chivalry, which isn’t and shouldn’t be dead. Because men should realize that by treating their ladies like dirt…
Also called ‘the Batmobile’ because of its similarity to the Tumbler from Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, the Lamborghini Ankonian is a concept car aimed not only at superheroes and vigilantes. Slavche Tanevsky, its designer, decided to take the Reventón supercar and make it even more aggressive, using clean-cut triangular shapes and striking color combinations.

I bet this happens to you every year before summer hits. You stare longingly in the mirror with a slightly disappointed look on your face, assessing the damage all that sitting and eating and interneting has done to your gorgeous body. From here you have two options: either you decide a sedentary lifestyle is the thing for you and invest in Häagen-Dazs and cats, or you get off your less-than-toned ass and start doing something about it. We kind of encourage the second path, young fitness Jedi. Not that Häagen-Dazs is such a bad alternative. In the ever-evolving world of wearable technology, the…

I am inclined to call this model ‘The Grey Beauty’. But I won’t. One, because it’s not even horse leather (it’s cow suede with pig and goat lining.) and two: well, there is no two.

Ever wondered how you could turn your home workout equipment into art when not using it? By purchasing this concept bike that resembles an odd futuristic sculpture and merges utility with decor.

So the workout you planned on getting with the buying of a stationary bike is rendered…
