BMW 1M Drifting Atop the World’s Highest Helipad Commercial



BMW’s recent method of engagement for their flagship 1-series M1 seems to be working rather well for themselves through the release of several viral videos.

The building stands 1,018 feet and represents the 10th tallest building in the United States. I think this video fake lol pretty cool tho...

Lamborghini Aventador


To celebrate their new super car, Lamborghini have created this short film hyping up the car for potential customers. The Aventador comes in a bright orange body (as any good Lamborghini should) and 700 raging Italian horses under the bonnet with 4 wheel drive to put that power down. Check out the video for yourself then get down to your local dealer to order one for a measly £201,900 before taxes.

Glass Bathtub


Boston-based architecture and design firm Stern McCafferty created this custom bath based on an inspiration photo from owners Amy and Ethan d'Abelmont Burnes. Made from a thick sheet of glass inserted between the two tile walls, it's so simple but yet so cool. I'm stealing this idea and putting a Glass Bathtub in my dream house I plan to build within the next 5 years! -JuanC

Tweeting Bench by Christopher McNicholl


UK designer Christopher McNicholl has been a fan of the social networking siteTwitter for a while now but he wanted to join the physical and social world together and so went about creating this Tweeting Bench. Powered by a small computer in the bench it features two cameras, one in the bench and another planted outside. The seat also contains sensors for when people sit down and it instantly tweets out a photo and the location. A great project and one thatMcNicholl hopes will become more widespread as time goes out.

Coming in a matt white body with a baby milo face and behind the back lit display that shows the time, date and a few other functions. The DW-5600 is a simple watch but one that packs in G-Shocks legendary craftsmanship and indestructibility, available now online for £230.

Celluon evoMouse


The mouse has been with us for 40 odd years now with little change to the idea that we need a physical input to use the computer. That changes with the creation of the evoMouse from Celluon, a small device that puts out an infrared area in which your hands can operate like a regular mouse.


Not only does it work like a regular mouse, bar the physical being of a mouse, you can do much more such as swiping to change pages, pinch-to-zoom like an iPad, even use the area to write using a pen. The evoMouse has two ways of connecting to the computer; either bluetooth or traditional USB which makes it a flexible travel companion and a good replacement for the mouse. No word on where to buy as of yet so keep your eyes peeled at your local computer store.

Bubble Tree


Designer Pierre Stephane Dumas has created this uniqueBubble Treewhich is effectively a transparent mobile home. The bubble has the basic necessities required for living; warmth, comfort and protection from the elements but at the same time it’s transparent so you can enjoy all nature has to offer. This offers a very different form of shelter for those who want to change from a log cabin or hotel but also much more flexible as it can be set up almost anywhere.

Louis Vuitton “Only Watch 2011″ Tambour Diver Chronograph


New from iconic French luxury house Louis Vuitton comes a unique Tambour Diver Chronograph for a good cause. This watch is certainly a statement piece, to say the least. Not only will the sale of the timepiece go to benefit charities of muscular dystrophy, but it was also designed in collaboration with a young boy afflicted with Duchenne muscular dystrophy named Paul Pettavino. The striking chronograph is made from black gold (white gold with a PVD treatment) and features dial details, rotative bezel markings and a thick rubber bracelet all in bright orange – Paul’s favorite color. The transparent back enables anyone to see the sophisticated LJP 8181 movement and the watch, a true diver, is fully water resistant. Packaged in a mini Damier Graphite canvas trunk – Louis Vuitton’s contribution to the Only Watch 2011 cause is certainly an enviable one, successfully merging commerce with charity.
