The car design of the Citroën D series (1960s) has always been one of my favourite:

Many times I have stumbled upon the amazing work of Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. Right now one of his installations are being exhibited at my local art museum. Its called Pulse Room and I like the way it connects the human body with the digital world. The installation quite simply measure your heartrate a then dedicate it to an old-fashion lightball. The reason that I post this, aside from the fact that I love Hemmers work, is because I found a installation that practically do the same but with a different and more colourful aesthetical approach. The bottomline is that I think they both look cool in their own different way. But do take a tour through Tangible Interactions portfolio, its quite cool!!

It thrills me to see how Dan McPharlin is capturing these cardboard designs of retro synthesizers. They look great! What if everything was controlled by knobs, buttons and slides…
It has come to my attention that I really think concrete is an amazing material for a lot of things. I think the texture is both brutal and beautiful! And its fascinating that some people are able to reinvent this virtually ubiquitous man-made material:
I just recently discovered the work of Felice Varini despite he has been creating these amazing pieces for thirty years. I just love the way he makes me wonder!
