The MOOBY by Madella Simone
This bike concept, called the MOOBY by designer Madella Simone. MOOBY plays with the word mobility to show that this fun one-speed is up for the challenges of urban riding. It even offers a “paneled, modular system that makes it possible to easily re-skin your ride with personalized graphics.” That means that you can change the look depending on your mood.
The hope: that more riders will be drawn to the fashionable style and opt for 2 wheels over 4!
The Crystal Dome at Swarovski Kristallwelten Wattens, Austria.
“The Crystal Dome is a kaleidoscopic, precision-cut journey into the heart of crystal – right in the middle of the homeland of crystal itself.”
This mesmerising space is The Crystal Dome at Swarovski Kristallwelten (Crystal Worlds) – the company’s museum and headquarters located in Wattens in Austria. The Crystal Dome was specifically designed to capture the feeling of being inside a crystal. There are 595 mirrors that cover the dome’s walls, creating a kaleidoscope of shifting shapes, reflections and colours, that gradually reveal hidden works of art. The experience of being in the space is further accentuated by the music of Brian Eno.

London Underground 150th Anniversary Coin by Barber Osgerby
A Tube train will appear on the back of Britain’s £2 coins next year, designed by British studio BarberOsgerby for the Royal Mint to celebrate the 150th anniversary of London Underground. The coin by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby depicts a Tube train emerging from a tunnel and has a patterned edge inspired by the dotted lines on the Tube map.
The designers, who received international acclaim with their “cheese grater” design for the Olympic Torch this year, said the £2 coin was the “perfect choice” to commemorate the Tube. “Its form is naturally reminiscent of the Roundel that is the universal logo of the London Underground,” they explained.
The designers chose to depict the 1967 Victoria line train due to its aesthetic simplicity and easily recognisable outline.
Another commemorative £2 coin has also been created for the Royal Mint by British designer and engraver Edwina Ellis, depicting the roundel logo with an edge inscription that reads “mind the gap”, as Tube passengers are regularly reminded.
