HMK 561 Electric Bicycle Concept
Mar 12th
Most electric bikes are fairly sordid affairs, little more than an ordinary bicycle with a motorized hub, a strap-on battery pack and regenerative braking capabilities (if you’re lucky). Not this HMK 561 electric bicycle concept, which took home an iF Design Award for some seriously forward thinking. It’s not just the stylish forward rake of this juiced cruiser that’s innovative, it’s the frame — composed completely of a conductive carbon fiber weave that allows the bike’s body to not just pass electricity to the motors, but actually store it like a giant capacitor. Factor in integrated lights and a pinch of that aforesaid regenerative braking at each axle, and you’ve just about got the bicycle of our dreams. Oh, and did we mention a prototype has already been built? Yeah.
Stihl’s autumn calendar automatically rips through to tomorrow

Unless they’re incredibly quiet or potentially explosive, you won’t find us waxing poetic (or even prosaic) about leaf blowers. But if a company that produced leaf blowers made a motorized calendar that tore off its own pages?
Terrace Bar Seating pods
Mar 10th
I’m lovvving these Terrace Bar Seating pods by Sekhar Roy, a student at the Florence Design Academy.
The swooping arm holds interchangeable light fixtures, and while there’s a chance someone sitting near the center might bump their head on the arm, I’d be willing to watch my guests do that time and again just so I could have this thing in my house.
