It's great when you're plate - yeah



They've been round for a while now, but they are still lovely! People will always need plates make lovely, very expensive plates and mugs using vector drawings of modernist architecture. I'm not sure how many of them ever get used to eat off of though. I'm pretty sure that most of them get hung up on walls!

Ooh La La




These two wonderfully sexy bits of kit are both French - and unfortunately for now, both just prototypes! Why oh why can't they just put these things on the road??? I'll never understand car designers!

The top photo is an updated Renault Megane, and the bottom pic is the new Citroen DS - yes, that's right, DS - as in the sleek cult classic that doesn't look anything like the pic above. Personally I think it's good that Citroen have avoided going down the mini/beetle/fiat 500 retro look, which frankly is a bit passe and wouldn't have done the iconic DS justice -

It seems that what Citroen have decided to do is work within the 'ethos' of the original DS to attempt to produce a truly ground-breaking and class leading small car that is technologically streets ahead of it's rivals (and probably rather more expensive)

A new bathmat made of moss is kept alive by the water that drips from your body as you dry.

The mat contains a total of 70 pieces of ball, island and forest moss measuring 2.4in (6cm) each in diameter.

It feels soft underfoot and does not smell when it gets damp.

Each piece of moss is cut into a foam frame, which prevents the moss from spreading or growing out of control.
