Rare addition to our Automotive Design flow. This time Peugeot Design Lab came with the concept of “Le Bistro du Lion” foodtruck. "The custom van comes with a matching trailer and together they become on location a pop-up restaurant. From a full kitchen, coffee machine down to a DJ booth, the concept thought of pretty much everything. Food-truck specialist Euromag outfitted the truck with all the kitchen equipment and the coffee machine is provided by Rocket. The new restaurant on wheels will take up residence at Milan Design Week 2015 on 14 April, before heading to the French Pavilion at the 2015 World’s Fair, Expo Milano, where the theme will be “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life.” Peugeot has selected the talented French chef Sven Chartier, of Saturne and Le Clown Bar in Paris, as the first culinary tenant of Le Bistrot du Lion. With food truck concepts becoming bigger globally, we would not be surprised if some car makers actually start catering more targeted concepts to that particular market in the future." says Highsnobiety

"As urban streets are increasingly shared between drivers and cyclists, road safety is more of an issue than ever before. In the UK, more than 19,000 cyclists are involved in accidents every year. Many of these collisions take place in London, where the city’s often old, narrow streets make it difficult to accommodate both four-wheeled and two-wheeled drivers. Swedish car manufacturer Volvo (which has been making some noise in the design world lately) is now addressing the problem with the introduction of its new product Life Paint, which just launched in London."

Duffy London did it again, we mean the table or the epic way they think table should look. Last year it was a glass underwater topography map table, now it is a total way different. The UP Balloon Coffee Table cleverly creates the illusion of a glass tabletop supported by 11 helium balloons. Duffy plans to make only 25 tables and they’re available in red, gold, and silver balloons.
Studio DRIFT, an artistic team from the Netherlands, has created lamps that blossom and twirl like flowers. “We’ve always been very fascinated by movements in nature, and this is how we started the project that we call Shylight,” the team says.
The satisfaction in our work comes from the moment the audience engages with the piece and they forget where they are, who they are, and they discover this new world between nature and technology.
