Philippe Starck Winter Gondola Concept

Designer Philippe Starck has introduced the "Dream of Winter Gondola." Designed for VeniSIA — a corporate accelerator with the ultimate aim to turn Venice into the oldest city of the future r— the concept reimagines the city's iconic rowboat as a futuristic vessel for winter visitors. it features a black bio-resin hull and oar made from arachnid laminated seaweed and a paint finish with shark skin texture for drag reduction. A sliding roof forged from vacuum molded gorilla glass will protect guests from the cool air as they ride through the canals on the leather upholstered sofa, propelled by a solar-powered mini electric turbine. Although the winter gondola is just a dream and is not meant to be realized, a 3D image of the project will be exhibited at the Ca 'Foscari Strategy Innovation Hub.

Whether in the garage, in the living room, on the floor by your bed, or in your truck bed, your dog has a comfortable place to rest wherever their bed ends up.

Barebones Harvest & Gathering Bag

The Barebones Harvest & Gathering Bag starts with a vintage design. Building upon those utilitarian roots with few modern touches, they've created the ultimate harvesting companion. The exterior is made from a waxed canvas that is both water and weather repellent. A convertible strap and two top handles add versatility with multiple carrying options.
