MAMA SHELTER, PARIS
Labels: Hotels and Travel 0 commentsNext time I go to Paris, I'll stay in this place, it looks cool to me...
The concept of Mama Shelter is not just about providing a obscenely well designed boutique hotel at cost effective prices, but creating a place to be. The hotel is littered with communal spaces which include photo booth display screens in tables and columns which allow guests and visitors to meet and interact, an 8 person foosball table, DJs and live acts, an enormous bar with an outdoor terrace and a restaurant with simple family style dishes. As hotel guests become tired of the same formal experience, Mama Shelter could well provide a blueprint for a modern, vibrant breed of hotel that could change our lives.via:wehearstuff
LOUIS VUITTON & STEPHEN SPROUSE
Labels: Fashion 0 comments
Famous for his bold graffiti/punk art and fashion that captured the essence of 1980’s New York, Stephen Sprouse was also responsible for kick-starting the ‘it-bag’ trend with his graffiti covered designs for Louis Vuitton back in 2001. Starting his career in the late 1970’s by making stage outfits for his downtown neighbour Debbie Harry, his work soon influenced popular culture worldwide and continues to do so today with this posthumous collection (Sprouse died tragically in 2004) faithfully designed by Marc Jacobs. The range of leather goods, accessories, shoes and streetwear certainly won’t be the most subtle or reserved collection of 2009, but true to Sprouse’s pop-art vision and punk aesthetic it is bold, exciting and still relevant today.

VICTORY MOTORCYCLE CORE CONCEPT BIKE
Labels: Design, Toyz For Big Boyz 2 comments
Victory Motorcycle's new CORE concept bike, unveiled it at New York City IMS show last week. This concept features in cast aluminum and paired it with a 1,731cc engine in a bike that weighs only 469 pounds. Other features include aluminum alloy frame, carbon fiber fender, 3.2-gallon tank.According to the Victory press release at the motorcycle usa, the "design team felt the name CORE perfectly reflects the essence of this concept motorcycle. It is, in fact, the raw 'core' or center of a motorcycle. There is no traditional bodywork; the motorcycle is effectively turned inside-out with its architecture completely exposed. It also accentuates the innovative frame design and the process that is used to make the cast aluminum frame: the molten aluminum is poured into a sand core, which is removed when the casting process is complete."
