We know a thing or two about office design, especially prefab offices, but this one adds a new dimension to the concept of progressive office design. The H2Office Floating Office by WaterSpace gives its inhabitants a lot more than an office “by the water”, but an office “on the water”. These prefabricated offices are built to be located in marina slips or similar locations, bringing the soothing sensation of calm rocking and unparalleled views of your local watery habitat....

While no one cares to admit it, people make snap judgements about your lifestyle and character based on the way you’re dressed. Luckily, fabrics like denim offer a common sartorial denominator. Every bit a symbol of the modern era as the Roman toga was to antiquity, you’ll find denim in jeans, jackets, shirts, bags, shoes, and countless accessories. (It’s even being used to liven up home decor!) But that doesn’t mean there’s no wrong way to wear denim....

The new elements of the tower are the rusty steel spiral stair section and the information center at its base. The original stone path snakes toward the tower as it climbs, accented with basic steel supports that accentuate the original pathway. The spiral stair section features open windows that provide a preview of the panorama guests will enjoy from its peak. The modern addition is contrasted from the original tower by color, but its uniformity reflects the simplicity of the tower’s design....

Since 1973, every Lamborghini model produced has earned Valentino Balboni’s stamp of approval. As a test driver, Balboni has quite a stunning CV with Lamborghini, to the point where they are now releasing a new Gallardo under his namesake. The Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni Edition is supposed to be a better performing Gallardo LP-550-4, if you can imagine that. This Gallardo sports 550hp out of a tweaked 5.2L V10, pushing this one to 60 in 3....

The Lamborghini Zagato Concept, designated “Lamborghini 5-95 Zagato”, is a new body built on a Gallardo LP570-4 frame. It is designed as an homage to Zagato coachbuild, celebrating the 95th anniversary of the Italian custom design group. While Zagato’s history is well-established, such a striking departure in design from Lamborghini’s signature just doesn’t seem to sit well with me. Curves like these haven’t been seen on a Lamborghini since the Lotus Evora and the front-end of a dust buster....

Photographer, calligrapher and light painter Julien Breton has released a new series of light calligraphy as an identity for the dance and music crew Compagnie Cortex. Breton illustrates the movements of the Cortex dancers with his flawless golden calligraphy, a departure from the artist’s signature work with architecture and nature. His trademark Arabic-style characters are present in this series, adding a sense of language to these images representative of the artist’s pseudonym, Kaalam....

You haven’t seen Miranda Kerr like this before. The lovely Australian model has moved beyond commercial print and has embraced high fashion editorials, with this shoot showing just how progressive Miss Kerr can be. La Mauvaise Éducation, as shot by Greg Kadel, is the latest editorial for Numero Magazine. It features an off-blonde Kerr in a variety of religious education scenes, bordering on sacrilege and flush with innuendo. Look too long at this series, you might find yourself muttering a Hail Mary or two in guilt....

Of the nine sculptural Chocolatexture candies, four stand out to our eyes. The “tubu tubu” candy is an amalgam of small chocolate spheres that form into a cube. The “toge toge” candy is a spiky, symmetrical chocolate that would need to be tasted carefully. The “goro goro” chocolate is a cube with 12 smaller cubes removed from its shape. Last, “poki poki” is a cubic frame with empty space inside of its form....

Basically, it’s the world’s first smart projector. And it’s designed specifically for consumers. Pretty sweet, right? It gets better. See, the ODIN smart projector doesn’t actually require a projection screen to function. Simply position it either three or five yards away from a flat wall, and it’ll display either a 75-inch screen or a 125-inch one. Thanks to its rechargeable battery, this means you’ve got a movie-theater-size screen that you can cart with you pretty much anywhere....

The Shinola Pet collection, which is still under wraps until its fall release, will feature luxury American-made leather leashes and collars along with finely-made toys and beds. If you’re familiar with the style of Shinola’s luxury watches, like the Shinola Runwell, you can expect a similar style and appeal from Shinola Pet. Consider a genuine leather watch band being extended to fit Fido’s neck — that’s the kind of leather goods you’re likely to see in this collection....

The Sony VAIO P ultra-portable laptop was originally introduced as a stylish alternative to the netbook, a mini-computer capable of delivering notebook power in a small package. That power, however, seemed to be missing from the first release, and Sony has decided it was about time for an update. The new Sony VAIO P laptop features a new design, a built-in GPS, accelerometer and digital compass, plus standard 3G connectivity to make this little machine truly mobile....
