Crimen Pinecone Lamp by Pavel Eekra Posted: 24 May 2011 09:13 AM PDT The latest addition to designer Pavel Eekra's portfolio is the Crimen pinecone lamp. This pinecode-like lampshade consists of 56 plates and screws, without an internal frame. Made of natural wood veneer, the slightly transparent veneer sheet with gaps among each others allow light pass through. This creates a particular pattern of light from the outside and downward bright light. This hanging lamp is huge too- 700mm diameter x 900mm height. via Pavel Eekra

MINI Rocketman Launch 2014 Posted: 11 Apr 2011 09:54 AM PDT Made its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, the MINI Rocketman will be heading for production in 2014. The urban-oriented vehicle will brings back the classic Mini in terms of its exterior dimensions, but with an infusion of new ideas and design language. The unique 3+1 seater features three doors and has length just over 3 meters, cater to the urban lifestyle in big cities. Designed to be flexible, the lightweight seats are contoured in customary MINI style and can be arranged in a variety of different positions. This allows owners to choose between maximum driving fun two-up, a comfortable amount of room for three occupants, or even an exceptionally efficient division of space accommodating four seats. The roof of the MINI Rocketman also puts on an extraordinary light show. The full-surface glass roof is segmented by illuminated braces to recreate the look of Britain's Union Jack flag. When not illuminated, the longitudinal, horizontal and diagonal braces glow a bright Porcelain White. MINI Rocketman is believed to create a new entry point for the company, BMW in 2014. In the meantime, expect to see MINI Coupé and Roadster to hit the road in 2012. via BMWBlog
