The newest Rolls Royce was just trotted out to the public, and it’s called the Wraith. Beyond being the most powerful Rolls ever built, the ‘fastback’ design and dual-tone body has a decisively muscular appearance, way less Grey Poupon, grey-haired than in years past. Inside you’ll of course find luxury details like the new Spirit ofContinueContinue reading “Rolls Royce Wraith”

Future Airports
Wired has a peak at several airport designs and design concepts. Aside from showcasing some of the most futuristic architecture anywhere on the planet, these next-generation airports will work harder and smarter than those that came before.

Ropes as Sculpture
Defringe has a cool look at the work of Moneyless, who does abstract sculptures using rope. In our modern world of 3D rendering, the physical ropes often look superimposed on the scene. Moneyless creates the next level of what the Spanish La Pluma Eléctri*k street art crew calls Spider Tags: Two and three dimensional abstractContinueContinue reading “Ropes as Sculpture”
Stockholm’s Subterranean Art
After spending several days in NYC, their impressive network of subways is an uncontested success, a triumph of engineering and transportation. Their ability to whisk people around far-flung parts of the city is phenomenal. But despite all of the function, their form can’t match the artistic whimsy and intrepidness of Stockholm Sweden. Wow. Via BuzzHuntUKContinueContinue reading “Stockholm’s Subterranean Art”
California’s High Speed Rail Inches Forward
I’ve always been a big fan of high-speed rail, and I’ve been embarrassed that other countries have sped past the United States for decades, when it comes to transportation. Japan’s Shinkansen HSR (high speed rail) system has been operating since 1964, five years before we landed men on the moon. Yet somehow in the ensuingContinueContinue reading “California’s High Speed Rail Inches Forward”
Colani
I’ve long been fascinated by the sculptural and radical designs from German born Luigi Colani. His work spans numerous decades, but holds a tight theme of bold, visionary, and often bizarre industrial design. A designer who takes risk, Colani has not seen many of his large-scale vehicles brought to life. A lot of them areContinueContinue reading “Colani”
The Flake
A super cool and bizarre car concept that’s been making a wave in the design scene this week. Scary, for sure, but in an intriguing way. Definitely look for this in science fiction movies before you see it running errands at the grocery store. Via Wired Autopia: The Flake, Da Feng’s latest design, is coveredContinueContinue reading “The Flake”
Stunning
Unlike most industries, automotive design arguably already hit it’s zenith years ago. Though the features available in cars today are mind boggling, their pure forms are, frankly, pretty lame compared to some of the designs that erupted out of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. The Portland Art Museum is currently showing a traveling exhibit calledContinueContinue reading “Stunning”
