Hailing from Hamburg designer Alexa Lixfeld has designed a range of perfume bottles with concrete tops and they seem solid enough to knock someone out cold with one hard hit.

Not that it is bad to have a perfume bottle in your bag with a concrete top. If anyone ever crosses the line or comes too close to comfort, then reach in and swing with your might! Of course, you will also have to carry around all that weight as well!

Coming to the essence part though, Fragrance comes in three different flavors with FRA EDP 003 binging out strong oriental touch along with a dash of Rosmarine, FRA EDP 002 bringing you the sensuous Indian Sandalwood and FRA EDP 001 bottling the scent of cool Lilies and Jasmines that take you back to the gorgeous valley’s of Europe.

When it comes to Alexa Lixfeld’s collection, if the fragrance does not get you, then the concrete top will surely score home!

Okay, here is a question for you. How many types of clocks are known to man? Analog…digital and lexicon. Well, the answer is both right and wrong for there is yet another new piece of clock that sets about to change a couple of things. Dubbed QLOCKTWO (all capital letters, yeah), this one is fourth dimension squared. If you could not fathom that then let us tell you that this one is a timepiece that tells time in words.

A quadratic matrix of letters form this unique device and it is these letters that get illuminated with every passing minute. But the actual ime is displayed in-between 5 minute intervals. However, if you wish to know the EXACT time then you just have to look closely at the corner into the illuminated dots. Owing to its brightness sensor, QLOCKTWO automatically adjusts the illuminating power of the letters.

And guess what? You get a whole range of colors. The base is in wood while a synthetic glass front keeps it shining bright. A time-signal reciever keeps track of the accurate time without the need for any sort of manual setting. This innovative beauty has been made in hand by Biegert & Funk in Germany. The CP is $1,600.

Modern design and architecture is engrossed in using wood, glass and stone extensively to ensure that the most ambient interiors are possible and the role of wood is something that is elevated largely due to people feeling a necessity to stay close to nature. While the lavish comfort these organic materials offer is unmatched, they still have to be styled in the appropriate fashion to fit into the aesthetic scheme of things. The latest range of bathtubs from Vitra does exactly that in the form of their Vitra4life collection.

The bathtub is covered in a layer of wood on the exterior and comes with a foldable wooden headrest that can be rolled out to form a massage seat. The bathtub itself radiates simplicity, comfort, pampers your tired senses and replenishes you after a long and grueling day. Brought out along with the collaboration with the German design firm Noa, they offer you nothing less than the very best. So in case you wish to bring home a delight that is not just a wonderful bath accessory, but also a gift to your own sense, the Vitra4life offers you plenty to choose from!

In all honesty, we were pleasantly surprised not by this item but its country of origin. We are referring to Gold Vending machines which ideally should have come from the Middle East like Dubai but it comes from Germany instead. As the name suggests, these machine are able enough to sell gold when the user puts in cash. Yes, no credit cards are entertained.

 

So far 500 of thee gold vending machines have been readied to be installed all across Germany, Austria as well as Switzerland. The idea was borne out of the popular demand these days making gold a safer investment. The company believes that soon most people across the world will keep 15% of their savings in gold.

 

We are still not very sure about the success of this venture but then, can we really predict the mind of the consumer. After al the luxury vending machine in a Miami hotel that sells a Bentley convertible became quite a rage.

Luxury on the waves is something that is probably an experience that is unmatched both in terms of comfort and uniqueness. When you take your yacht to the sea and get yourself that nice spot away from all civilization where you are surrounded by nothing but the tranquil blue waters, then it seems like the most perfect moment of your life. Then you can just get shoved into the ocean and strangled to death by a psychotic… Oops, sorry, that was the B-grade Hollywood flick that I just saw. Anyway, Eden Motoryacht is built for that perfect day out on the blues with everything designed to pamper your senses and delight your mind.

Designed by German Daniel Hahn, the concept Motoryacht is 21 meter long and is pretty much your luxury home on the waves. It comes with a very simple, yet special design that makes its front very sleek and aerodynamic so that it can cut through the fluid with ease. The back is more stretched out to ensure that you have enough space on deck to bathe in the sun. The interiors are crafted with fine wood and with a carbon body work for the other half of the boat, it forms a contrasting union.

Ad its name suggests, Eden is all about showing you a piece of heaven on earth and hence it leaves no stone unturned in making sure that your stay is that bit extra special. Hopefully Daniel’s concept design will soon hit production and then we can see the price tag that comes with the lavish ecstasies.

Crazy about horror movies and with spare time in hand, few German scientists from Technical University of Braunschweig have designed the Nerdiest brain-computer interface ever. It doesn’t intend to place electrodes on your head and looks a large metal helmet packed equipped with sensors that can perceive your brain movement through your locks. They assert that the mechanism is efficient enough to organize an RC car and their next initiative would be to install it in wheelchairs and prosthetics.

You may ink a neat deal with it to scare you little ones coming come Halloween.
