Rocket Espresso Cup
The Rocket Espresso Cup is a great example of how a brilliant industrial designer can take a simple every day product and make it so instantly desirable that people like me would commit highway robbery to own one.

Official NASA Tee by Hank Player
NASA is possibly the coolest organisation in human history. It saddens me to see the shuttle program put in mothballs and the only saving grace is that I know the Orion project is just around the corner.
Steam Powered
This remarkably sharp image is a great indicator of just how much steam power was used in the pre-gasoline/diesel era, makes me a little nostalgic for a time long before my time.
Speedbird
The site LeContainer is possibly the best source of stunning mechanised imagery that you’ll find anywhere. This photograph is a great example of their regular faire…
Ducati 900 GTS by Nick Huber
The Ducati 900 GTS is one of those motorcycles that sits very close to the top of most motorcycle obsessed gentleman’s wish lists.
Harley-Davidson Doll
Well there’s a lot to be said about vintage motorcycle photography. You’ll be hard pressed to find any pictures taken post-1970 that are as tasteful as this.
Braun BN0035 Stainless Steel Chronograph
This watch, the Braun BN0035 Stainless Steel Chronograph, is pretty close to what I imagine Ive would design if Apple made watches and although they almost certainly never will, it’s interesting to think about.
BSA Boating
I guess this is entry #1,767,876 in our ongoing series “Why Vintage Motorcycle Ads Were Better”.
Blonde Mud Racer
Some photos are just perfect. This one has the smile, the hair, the bike, the helmet, the mud and the boots. Love it.
Walnut Wood Wallet
This is a new one on me, wallets fashioned from a single piece of Walnut wood that can apparently be tucked into a rear pocket and sat on, with no unfortunate consequences.
Grace Space Pace
Jaguar have designed some of the most beautiful cars in history, the XK120, the D-Type, the E-Type and my personal favourite, the XKSS.
Cafe Racer & The City by Fott
Cafe Racer & The City was directed and filmed by the talented Alexander Khudokon in 2011, I have a soft spot for well made videos like this although I always feel like they just need a script in order to be made into a feature film.
