Photographer Serge Mendzhiyskogo doesn’t present just one photograph in his works, his are the result of hundreds of photos merged into one complex image. Serge Mendzhiyskogo’s Collage Photography takes busy cityscapes and presents them in an abstract fashion, by combining spliced images in an offset fashion. The result is visually stunning, a look at our cities in a fresh, new perspective that inspires much imagination.

The Solo House by Pezo von Ellrichshausen rises above the forest floor on a single, central concrete column. A horizontal plane stretches out in all directions, symmetrically-placed on the support column below. Its repeated cubic pattern features floor-to-ceiling glass walls on the sides and open patios on the corners, all emphasizing a visual connection with the rolling landscape beyond. Despite the inherently functional elements in Solo House’s concrete structure, there is something sculptural about its language....

View in gallery Rather than simply catering a new advertising campaign to encourage their consumers to reduce their carbon footprint, Adidas intends to work with experts and activists to create a high performance running shoe that actually helps to funds the removal of plastic human fishing debris from natural fisheries and aquatic areas throughout the world. Parley for The Ocean The intriguing part of the project, however, isn’t just the fact that the two companies are working together to clean up the fisheries, but rather the way that they’re doing it....

Filtering through the many available options can prove to be a headache. There are myriad factors to sift through for the ultimate tactical duffle bag. Besides being rugged and durable, a good duffle bag should be made of lightweight materials to not break your back when loaded with all your gear.

Our 18 best commuter bikes are meant to make the task of biking easier and more enjoyable; to squeeze as much enjoyment out of your pedaling sessions as biomechanically possible. From weekend warriors to die-hards, we challenge you to name better steeds. “Commuter” Criteria: Any bicycle determined to be capable of long-term, daily use for ordinary purposes (i.e. no stunts, no need of submersible aquatic capability) was considered a “Commuter” bike....

Designed for comfort as much as versatility, this amphibious aircraft is loaded with more features than some commercial jetliners. There’s a lot to love about this plane if you’re into light sport aircraft, but for now, we’ll start with the cockpit. It’s wider than any other LSA, and offers fully-ergonomic controls, plush, comfortable seats; and a retractable instrument panel for when your plane needs to make a landing in the water....

Taking a cue from the organic elements of the human body itself, designers Jessica Rosenkrantz and Jesse Louis-Rosenberg have created a set of jewelry that truly excites the senses. The Nervous System Bracelet is a prime example of their collection– a cellular structure built of organic patterns that appear complex in construction. They aren’t expensive to get on your very own wrist, as the ring versions of this series start at just $12 each....

Taking the form of an ergonomically-designed pair of glasses, Recon Jet bills itself as the most advanced wearable computer ever made. Controlled by an optical touch sensor, the Jet’s built with a full suite of performance metrics – speed, distance, and elevation gain among them – and the capacity to connect to both Smartphones and body sensors. In other words, you can track pretty much every aspect of your exercise routine with complete ease....

The 1984 Ferrari 288 GTO is powered by a twin turbocharged V8 engine which produced 400 horsepower and 366 foot-pounds of torque. Those numbers may not blow the doors off the vehicles today, but in its time, this was the fastest production vehicle on the road. It could crack 100 mph from a standing start in 10 seconds, and it topped off at 189 mph on straightaways. It was the pride and joy of Ferrari in its time, and it remains one of the most adored Ferrari’s ever built– as evidenced by its $2M price tag at auction....

Photographer Ozgur Ozserin captures the culture and essence of Vietnam in a series of photographs. Each photo sheds light into the lifestyle of the people while giving a taste of the underrated landscapes throughout Vietnam. Intent stares of elderly workers are shown as they resume their work routines and old buildings resemble graffiti art projects while colossal rocks sit on a still lake somewhere in the Vietnamese fog. Each shot encapsulates understated beauty with natural character and insight into the world of this interesting Asian country....

Knowing how to hone a knife is a skill that will serve you throughout your life, making you ready for situations where a grinding wheel or local sharpening shop isn’t available. You should have this at the ready, and know how to pick a proper whetstone to get the most out of your cutlery. After all, if you’ve done it right and shopped smart, your knives are going to be with you long after your spouse has left, your eyesight has gone, and your dish ran away with your spoon....

When this Vincent Rapide was first released in 1946, it became the world’s fastest production motorcycle with a top speed of 110mph. While much of the old Rapide’s have fallen into disrepair, this 1951 Vincent Rapide was faithfully restored to near-original brilliance. 20 years of work went into this Rapide, and its beauty has now been documented by the autolust photography team of Guerry and Prat. Prat said of this motorcycle, “The only major tools of its owner are a drill and a vise, but patience and perfectionism have allowed him to achieve a high degree of excellence....

Recently, Herbert Baglione’s work took him to Parma, Italy where he produced a series of works in an abandoned psychiatric hospital. His “1000 Shadows” project began in these spooky, subterranean chambers and expanded to a collection of locations across Europe. “1000 Shadows” also stopped in Celles-sur-Belle, France, where Baglione occupied a 16th century church as a canvas for his work. Given their delicate arrangements, the works of Herbert Baglione are temporary and fragile, designed to live on in the images he creates....

Abandoned Places: Submarine Base, Ukraine In a bay on the northern shores of the Black Sea, the Soviet army maintained an elaborate submarine base throughout much of the Cold War. Now a museum, this abandoned submarine base in the town of Balaklava, Ukraine is often explored by locals and tourists alike. During the war, Soviet submarines were constructed elsewhere, transported to this base by rail, then deployed into the Black Sea and beyond for covert underwater operations....

The original rear section of the Townhouse in Antwerp had a stair-step identity, where enclosed spaces descended from the back of the main building. The problem was just how enclosed these spaces were. It constrained the available space for a patio in the rear, and the interior provided little communal space for gathering. Sculp[it] responded by opening these smaller spaces into one large volume, with three-story glass windows at the rear....

How it works is pretty simple. Let’s say you want to have a delicious, mouthwatering rib eye steak, flavored with cranberry sauce. That’s not exactly the type of meal most people would prepare on a whim; all the stuff that goes into it is rather bloody expensive (especially in this economy). With the Aromafork, you wouldn’t necessarily have to shell out for both a steak and a box of cranberries....

Unlike your typical home theater system, the offerings of Bang & Olufsen are an aesthetic addition to your living room, not just a simple entertainment amenity.
