The Atlas V16 Lamp by Futility Studios is a twin-Edison bulb powered floor lamp made almost entirely from parts from vintage automobiles and motorcycles. This particular lamp uses air filters to throw a diffuse, warm light from those incandescent bulbs and would ideally suit a location in the corner of a larger room. The full list…
Some of you may remember EVE, it’s a custom motorcycle we featured a few months ago when the first renderings were released by the team at Bandit 9 motorcycles. It was planned that 9 EVEs would be built to customer specification, each would look remarkably similar but the engine size would vary from 90cc to…
We’ve seen all manner of Triumph Flat Trackers over the past few years, some based on early Triumphs and some based on the more modern 865cc parallel twins. All of them have been beautiful but not all of them have been quite as unique as the bike you see here, built by Yoshi Kosaka of…
EVE is the latest design from Bandit 9 Motorcycles and will form the beginning of their new operation in Saigon. Anyone who’s ever been to Vietnam, or pretty much anywhere else in South East Asia, will immediately understand the importance of the motorcycle to the local residents. In equatorial east Asia motorbikes aren’t weekend rocketships…
The #14 Hybrid Airship by Alberto Santos-Dumont was the first recorded attempt at combining a fixed wing aircraft with an airship, the above image was taken in 1906 at the #14s inaugural flight on the grounds of the Chateau de Bagatelle in France.

When it comes to adding lights to a garage, shed, den or man cave it’s imperative to choose something with a soft light that’s easy on the eyes, so that the hours you spend in there working on your chosen avocation don’t lead to any more headaches than are absolutely necessary.

The Bowlus Road Chief is possibly the most beautiful caravan (or trailer, if you’re American) that I’ve ever seen, it’s an obvious competitor for the Airstream, which has been the defacto polished aluminium home-on-wheels since the 1930s. Interestingly, the chief designer of the Airstream was a man named Hawley Bowlus – the same man whose…
Randy Grubb is almost certainly the best aluminium fabricator you’ll find anywhere in the Western Hemisphere, his work with 4, 3 and 2 wheeled vehicles using the bauxite based metal is legendary and after taking a look at his newest creation, I can’t help but think of him as a bit of an artist.
Chicara Nagata is one of those Da Vinci types who’ll never be a household name because instead of painting moderately attractive smirking Italian housewives he builds motorcycles, and sadly that just doesn’t have the same mainstream, Louvre-friendly appeal.
These beautiful, steam-punk hip flasks are each made to order by Pick Your Poison and each one includes the surname of the order in the engraving – which I think is fantastic.
Captain Fawcett’s Moustache Wax is handmade in small batches in England from all organic ingredients, it has a “medium hold” so you can have a twirly ‘stache and the only pictured above has a lady-pleasing sandalwood aroma.
This espresso machine, dubbed the Espresso Veloce V12, is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. Only 500 of them will be made with each being crafted from magnesium, titanium and aluminium. The V12 layout is stunning as is the use of exhaust pipes as espresso pipes, the price has not yet been released but you can expect it to make your eyes water, your wallet tremble and your credit card commit seppuku.
