Here is an interesting device to wash your hands and it is pretty well designed, keeping in mind the importance of conserving water. Igor Pinigin has designed the Ma (Low Water Consumption Outdoor Washstand) which allows you to wash your hands without wasting any water.
It comes with a disposable latex container and a console vessel which is filled with water or solution. It releases water only when it is touched and the disposable latex container can be changed after it is used. Thus, it avoids contamination of the washstand by a person’s touch. That person’s dirt won’t be carried over to the next person who touches it as the latex container is disposable.

If the big bucks are in your wallet, buying a luxury car is really not much of a hassle. However, many folks find trouble housing their dream machines. Somehow, their hearts do not permit them to allow their high-end toy to be kept in the regular common folk-type garage with the rest of the common folk-type automobiles. And so, Holger Schubert developed the Design Driven, which is an award winning garage design.
Holger has kept a very minimalist environment in his garage which further heightens the dreamy aspect of the car parked in – it looks nothing short of a work of art. Spread across 1200 sq. ft., this one is not in the basement but it is situated on the upper floors of a 1953 ranch style home.

It’s being touted as the ultimate plasma television set. BeoVision 4, the 103-inch plasma television’s launch has been announced by Bang & Olufsen, which is one of the biggest among flat screen televisions in the world market. Bang & Olufsen is the Danish provider of high end audio and visual products.
Apparently it is also the only one of its kind that has a stand to lift the screen and tilt it to optimal viewing positions, at the touch of a button.
The television sent can be custom ordered from any of the company’s showrooms and is available in a range of colours such as black, silver, red, blue and dark grey. However, it will take about four months for each ordered piece to be custom-built. It also needs a special `white-glove’ delivery and installation process. The television does not come easy though. It will set you back by a whopping $ 93,050 on wall mount, and $ 111805 on a motorized floor stand.
