Traditional ideas on modern lamp

Chorong_Lamp.jpg Korean Jhoongo choi has come up with neat looking lamp now. It is a reinterpretation of the traditional Korean lamps called cha-sa-chorong (makes you wonder if sarongs are Korean, right?) which were illumination devices. There is a base and a really long extension folded out in front like a fishing hook. It’s long and can be transported easily anywhere but I think it will go best in a household where the use of furniture are scanty. And also where there are no children or babies. They can be annoyingly curious at times. It comes in both LED and light bulb types. It is made of steel and glass and comes in chrome and red colors.

Montreuil’s Ferrari X-Racer concept literally makes Ferrari fly

Ferrari_X-Racer_concept.jpg Designer Vincent Montreuil’s has put forth a concept of flying Ferrari with twin turbos. We all should have expected it, the only way to make Formula more interesting is with rev caps, engine development freezes and lack of ground effects, turbochargers and winglets. I mean, that is the natural progression, of course. No more of the over used carbon fibre, Montreuil’s Ferrari X-Racer will only use pure unobtainium. Some more things to add spice to the concept are a glowing orifice in the rear and an exhaust tube for the twin turbostator engines. “Xtrem FireForce” seems to be a selling point of the idea, but no one knows what it really is. Maybe the flying Ferrari will shoot tails of fire while racing?
