“PULSE” GLOWING BIKE

150 years of continuous/passionate refinement have resulted in bicycle components that are both ultra efficient and ultra reliable. And yet this passionate perfection hides in plain sight. The power of design is its ability to create (animal) magnetism around compelling ideas in relevant context. Dana Krieger, Industrial designer at Teague presents a tribute to the triangle. A reinterpretation of an icon, which unifies individual components into a coherent statement in tune with contemporary needs (and attitudes). Equal parts gym membership, fashion statement and Kyoto pact contributor–Pulse is a transportation solution in synch with the needs of today’s urban denizen.

A Tone for Tough Times: The Top 10 Fall Colors

Don’t see a color you like? The following are some of the colors as seen on the recent slew of runway shows across the world. While it’s still up in there as to whether recessionary times bring forth more subtle or bold statements in color, the top 10 colors seem to suggest otherwise as we colors such as American Beauty (red – PANTONE 19-1759), Rapture Rose (pink – PANTONE 17-1929) and Warm Olive (green/yellow – Pantone 15-0646). However 2009 fall’s most popular color with 16.5% of designers integrating it into their collection is Iron (dark gray – PANTONE 18-1306), apparently labeled the new black.

Sao Paolo By Boogie – Book And Skatedeck

Born in Belgrade Serbia, street photographer Boogie possesses a rare talent for documenting the human condition. His black and white photographs capture the character and the inhabitants of some of the most tumultuous cities in the world.

Traditionally photojournalism focuses more on content–recording a moment or an event–and less upon formal concerns. However, Boogie gracefully integrates both a documentarian’s eye with a finely honed artistic sensibility. Many of his images are at once deeply poignant, and totally unsettling.

Boogie’s work has taken him from Serbia, to Cuba and throughout South America. In his new book, Sao Paulo, he features his remarkable impressions from one of Brazil’s poorest and most troubled urban metropolises. Boogie has also produced a new skate deck featuring his photography.

Both the deck and the book are now available here.

The bikes are all individually numbered and come with a limited selvedge constructed Evisu bike duffel.

Ferrari California Is Topless In 15 Seconds Flat

Once upon a time, the hardtop was an outcast in the world of convertible cars. They were too slow to convert, too bulky to store and too expensive to be worth it for most folks. But after years of flimsy ragtops dominating the industry, the release of the new Ferrari California could be a sign that the hardtop is officially running shit now.

In a first for the Italian sports car manufacturer, they’ve created a multi-piece roof system that moves in unison for an amazingly efficient conversion. In a new video, Ferrari show that you can put the California’s hardtop up or down in under 15 seconds, which is a new record. We could also throw a bunch of technical info at you about how the V8 engine allows you to go from 0 to 60 in less than 4 seconds, but we’d rather just play with the roof. Watch the video below and stay tuned for the car’s official unveiling at this year’s Paris Auto Show.

Ong Bak 2 Has More Fight Left

If you’re a long time fan of martial arts movies, then you probably feel like you’ve seen it all. After all the classics, it’s no surprise that the genre can get a little formulaic sometimes. But when Thai stunt man Tony Jaa broke out in 2003’s Ong-Bank: Muay Thai Warrior, it was clear that this was different. In an era when impossible moves are faked with wires and CGI, Jaa wowed audiences with his 100% real acrobatics and intense combat skills.

Now the phenom is back in Ong Bak 2, his directorial debut. A promo reel for the movie just leaked to the internet, and it shows an emphasis on some new weapons as well as a stunning fight scene on top of a pack of elephants. Looks like it might live up to the reputation of the original when it hits theaters some time later this year.
