The Italian Made Rizoma 77/011

Posted: 13 Nov 2012 10:14 AM PST

Why do bikes have to be this sexy? The Rizoma 77/011 makes me rethink my main mode of transport. Love the sleek design, and that’s carbon fiber btw – aluminum only plays accent here. With the number of growing urban bicyclists, I’m not surprised designers are paying more attention to design and functionality that plays well inside the urban jungle. The most unique feature is switching from a single speed fixed wheel to a fixed-gear. All this through an ingenious rear wheel equipped with two pulleys to freely choose from.

The deceptively minimalist aesthetic belies the technology. Look at how the frame curvature makes the bike seem as if it’s always in motion. Everything around it is adjustable. The simplest feature on the bike is the belt drive. The not so simple thing to do is deciding on white or black. I’m partial to white. It somehow makes the bike larger than life.

Designed with simplicity in mind, the Kitara table features clean lines and straightforward construction that make it an excellent addition to a variety of living space styles. Composed of just 2 white glossy glass surfaces, a few metal screws, and a blend of natural and painted wood pieces, the table is flat-pack ready and super easy to assemble. It’s minimal with a touch of industrial style, perfect for the minimalist living room.

The Surfaces lamp is unlike any other in that it doesn’t hide its construction or wiring. Instead, it flaunts it! Similar to how you’d hang a picture frame, the minimal, lightweight design can be attached to a wall simply by hanging it on a nail or screw, making it easily moveable. Hang it, plug it, tap it, and go!

Finally, iPhone Movies!

Posted: 13 Nov 2012 12:01 AM PST

The iPhone is good for a lot of things, but movies… not so much! The Big Screen concept enhances the video capabilities of the iPhone by using a thin Fresnel lens at the front to magnify whatever is playing on the screen. The angle of the device instantly positions the phone and screen at a comfortable viewing angle. Even though touch screen functionality is disabled, side openings provide access to the volume and home buttons.
