Kidult EXSTINCTOR Sculpture
Kidult is releasing a series of individually-numbered sculptures left at undisclosed locations across the globe. We now get a first look at one of these “EXSTINCTOR” sculptures — a golden piece featuring a human’s rib cage as the body of the fire extinguisher-inspired design. With a firm nod at Kidult’s trademark utensil used in his work, the “EXSTINCTOR” is a reflection of the Parisian artist’s style and counter-consumerism ethics — by giving the sculptures free in major cities worldwide. The first one has already been found in New York with Paris, Hong Kong, London, Tokyo, Los Angeles and Miami still to come.

Kanye West Manhattan Loft
A space that redefines the word “minimial”, Kanye West’s New York loft is perfectly fitting for his style. It’s serene and simple, with every detail from the lighting to the monolithic stone islands crafted with the utmost attention to detail. Designed by Claudio Silvestrin, the tour shown here is sans furniture—though knowing Mr. West, he probably didn’t add much anyways.

Korea Will Soon Be Home To The World’s First ‘Invisible’ Skyscraper
The world will soon have its first “invisible” skyscraper.
There’s no construction date yet for the planned 1,476-foot tower, called Tower Infinity. But its architects have just been granted a construction permit to begin building outside of Seoul, South Korea near Incheon International Airport.
The visionaries behind the project, GDS Architects, will make the tower appear “invisible” using an LED facade system with optical cameras to display what’s directly behind the building. When turned on, the “reflective skin” of the building will give the illusion that Tower Infinity is blending in with the skyline.
The building’s projections may also be used for broadcasting special events, or for advertising purposes, according to GDS Architects.
The tower itself has an impressive profile, with a main spire flanked on either side by two separate building wings. Tower Infinity will be used primarily for entertainment and leisure purposes, and is set to include a 4D theater, restaurants, a water park, landscaped gardens, and the third-highest observation deck in the world.
“Instead of symbolizing prominence as another of the world’s tallest and best towers, our solution aims to provide the World’s first invisible tower showcasing innovative Korean technology while encouraging a more Global narrative in the process,” Charles Wee, AIA, GDS Design Principal said in the press release. “We look forward to providing Korea and the world with a completely new model for what it means to be an observation tower.”

Tomos Classic XL Moped
The moped is back. If you’ve been following along, however, it never really went anywhere in the first place. For many years, the mopeds of the 1970s and 80s have been faithfully maintained and driven by a cult of small-motor enthusiasts throughout the world. Today, one of the most revered brands in vintage mopeds has released a new moped– for the first time in 30 years. Tomos is back, and has revealed a new moped in a limited run to its UK adherents– the Tomos Classic XL Moped.
The new Tomos Classic XL Moped is a compact pedal-start moped with a 49cc engine and a 27 mph top-end. While this model is for sale only in the UK at present, those numbers translate quite well to the United States. Reason being, a two-wheeled vehicle with less than 50ccs of displacement (and a ~25mph top end) doesn’t require a motorcycle license in most states. Anyone can hop aboard and pilot their way through the city streets of downtown USA without additional paperwork. This is one of several reasons a moped like this is so attractive to young people in modern cities.
A second reason the Tomos Classic XL moped is so attractive is its efficiency. This low-displacement engine can get over 100 miles to a gallon for the right driver. It barely sips fuel, using what equates to a lawn mower engine to cruise to up to 25 mph. A third reason these mopeds are so adored by the Moped Army (which is a real thing) is how easy they are to maintain. Anecdotally, Tomos mopeds are often considered the easiest to maintain, to modify and to upgrade. Bikes like the venerable Puch Maxi of the 1970s (we have one in our garage) are a close second, but few bikes are as easy to maintain as a Tomos. Those who are completely ignorant of engines and vehicle maintenance can get a quick handle of how to operate and maintain a moped like this.
The Tomos Classic XL Moped is available in a limited run in the UK for around $2,150 after conversion to USD. There’s no news on a US arrival yet, but the sheer number of Tomos riders in the US might force their hand. For those who want cheap, easy and efficient transportation in the modern city, this is a brilliant way to go. For moped fans like us, it is very exciting news.

El Camino Food Truck Branding by Savvy-Studio
EL CAMINO — FOODTRUCK from Savvy Studio on Vimeo.
Words from Savvy-Studio –
El Camino Foodtruck is our answer to Monterrey’s gastronomic needs. Its menu caters for all tastes, ranging from vegetarian options to delicious Texas-style hamburgers and sandwiches. The spanish/english combination in its name is a play with words which aims to communicate these flavours.
For this project we developed and exhaustive graphic language which is constantly growing. The aim is to make the Foodtruck very recognisable through its easily identifiable graphic style. Americana and biker tattoos are two strong influences, expressing the truck’s rough and Texan personality in an appealing way. El Camino Foodtruck is a tribute to an artisanal approach, from the meticulous preparation of the food it serves to the creation and implementation of its visual language that was conceived in pencil and paper and later hand drawn directly on the truck.
