Holger Schubert’s Ferrari 512 BBi Is A Work of Art | Video

Designer and architect Holger Schubert gives us a closer look at his Ferrari 512 BBi and his equally stunning office/garage that displays the car. The 1,200-square-foot space won him the Maserati and Architectural Digest's Design Driven contest for best garage a few years back. Particularly interesting is the inseparable relationship between the car and the space that was designed to house it, which includes a ramp built into the floor that tilts the car, allowing Schubert to back out across a bridge to his back gate. The car in turn, is perfectly colored to match Schubert's minimalist design ethos and somber palette choices for his space. Whether you admire the car, the structure or both, Schubert's car-office combo is a unique design combination of aesthetic and function, and certainly a work of art to be jealous of.

Solar Socket: Portable Plug-In Creates Free Energy to Go

[ By WebUrbanist in Gadgets & Geekery & Technology. ]

window socket

With batteries running low, your eye roams the room for a place to plug in, but then you remember: you brought your own power supply. Portable, easy and green, this solar socket design is a stroke of genius, able to both generate and hold a charge.

window portable power generator

A suction cup lets you stick the converter to any flat glazed surface, putting photovoltaic panels on the outside and a customary energy outlet on the other. And if you are worried about what happens at night or in overcast conditions: the device itself can store energy for in-place or mobile use.

Kyuho Song & Boa Oh have added a few other functional quirks to the design: rotate your charger plug and you kill the power, spinning a circular cut-off switch built into the face plate. There is a second manual on/off switch on the bottom as well.
