VW Bus Design Classic

VW Bus Design Classic VW Bus Design Classic with Kate Moss Pull up to the Bumper Baby Surf's up; let's catch some waves. We all love these classic thought provoking images of the classic VW Bus, especially when pictured with a beautiful woman. Every time we see one in the streets (which is becoming more rare every day) we always have a smile on our face (both VW bus or a beautiful woman).

The VW bus has such a "feel-good" vibe that makes us dream about going cross country through 1950's America, when times where "perhaps" more innocent.

Luigi Colani Rotorhaus

Luigi Colani Rotorhaus An avant-garde architectural project by Luigi Colani (Switzerland) for HANSE HOUSE (Germany). This modernist gem features lots of fiberglass while it's outside is made with wood. 36 m2 of actual floor space features a cylinder with rotor technology which allows you to change the same rotor cylinder from kitchen to bath to sleeping area when turned. Place saving, functional and economical. HANSE HOUSE tells us that this is just a prototype for now and that no mass produced units are available yet. The prototype however can be visited in Germany. Conception It has been Luigi Colani's idea to design a house showing minimum interior measurements and maximum space to live in. This conception is realised by assigning the approx. 18 sqm big living room to three different functional areas, each of these about 2 sqm big. These functional areas „bathroom“ „kitchen“ and „sleeping room“ are located in a movable rotor. The needed functional area is being mo
