The Present -The Annual Clock

Time, as Einstein depicted, is a slippery concept to narrow down in few words, and people all over the world refuge to metaphor to express it. As a matter of fact, with astonishing monotony, they all resort to the same metaphor: space. If someone says: "We are approaching the deadline," he or she is uttering imminence in conditions of closeness, an attribute of physical space. So if temporal watersheds do not really exist, where does our impression of time come from? And how come do we experience so powerfully a sense of time as motion?

The Present is the perfect reminder for those who forget that time is really important. The annual clock contains a microprocessor that accurately turns hours into months. The Presents will complete a clockwise rotation in one year. It's time to contour a singular relationship with the value of time.

Apple MacBook Pro covered with gold and diamonds

It seems that this is becoming a trend, and I'm not sure how it looks compared to all the poverty in the world today.

But, com'on! Really??

MacBook Pro gold with diamonds?

 

The rumors are true! A company specialized in extremely expensive remakes of different gadgets created a version for the Apple MacBook Pro laptop. The first version was a gold remake, but folks thought it was too common. Why not go for something more extravagant, more royal and more expensive? The second version is fully plated with 24 carat gold and the diamond studded logo is gigantic.

I was not able to find much on the price, but given that a gold iPhone done by English designer costs 119 000 dollars, we can imagine the price for Diamond Apple MacBook Pro. Anyone interested?

Cool Floating Lamps

I know all you Back To The Future fans were disappointed that years passed and we still can't find Hover Board in the stores. Don't worry, you can still buy the Back To The Future Shoes soon!

Let's get back to the subject. Floating Lamp is actually called Light-Light and it looks just like a normal light. But if you pay close attention, you will discover that the top is floating above the base, almost levitating. This can be done using a set of magnets created with the engineering genius of Ger Jansen and a company called Crealev (Crealev Magnetic Levitation Technology).

Light-Light can be found in two models, Silhouette and Eclipse, and features energy efficient and dimable LEDs.

Light-Light Silhouette features a more classic look and it's the perfect solution for offices and classic designs. It contrasts ultramodern technology with an almost antique appearance.

Light-Light Eclipse has a futuristic look, and it pays homage to this raw phenomenon when observed from above. With its straight-sided nuance and flowing curving handmade glaze foot, it integrates finesse in the design.

The result is an impression of transparency and reflection that makes the floating and radiating effect even more spellbinding.
