| Posted: 06 Aug 2012 09:41 AM PDT This unique, marine-inspired design adopts the basic form of one of the world’s naturally occurring sculptural elements, the seashell. The elegant shape has always attracted the eye of artists, scientists and designers and like the seashell, this design’s eye-catching, bilateral symmetry and natural strength are also sure to pass the test of time. Contrasting cylindrical cushions, expert craftsmanship and a subtle nautical feel make it a great compliment to classic and contemporary spaces alike. Designer: Branca-Lisboa - Related posts:

It main focus in design was to integrate the battery to the shape and to create a wholeness that is simple and intuitive. The electric bicycle is easy to use and operate, with an automatic transmission engine. It features a smart modular system that allows you to choose design with mudguards, rear rack, or without. As per the feedback, the battery design is based on “cradle-to-cradle,” to maximize the battery life and minimize environmental impacts. Designer: Fredrik Lundin - Related posts:

| Posted: 06 Aug 2012 12:01 AM PDT It’s not often that we feature something that’s purely decor, but this piece by Bongo Design is particularly interesting. The Steel Fox is a modern, minimal (and fox-friendly!) take on the taxidermy animal bust. In solid steel, it will look great next to the cardboard deer or paper rhino that are so “in” right now!
