For when you’ve got no boiling water sitting around, and no lightsaber on hand, you’ve got the “Hot-T Wand.” Yes! All of life’s greatest solutions ARE wand-based. You betcha! Faster than the ol’ HP can whip up a tea-time heat’em’up spell, you’ve got hot water. It heats only the amount of water you need, and it’s got mega-safety measures, like a water sensor to prevent foolish flailings about and whatnot.

The Vanderbrink GTO has been awarded the GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2008. The award is given by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design and is the oldest and most prestigious awards program worldwide, elevating the best and finest new design and design innovation for products. This vehicle is excruciatingly beautiful, even for someone who prefers minimalism, I find beauty this car, evoking American muscle and Italian styling. Oh and BTW, it’s got 750 hp! Congrats to Vanderbrink!

This house was designed by Akira Yoneda and Masahiro Ikeda and is called HP because of its hyperbolic paraboloid surface. There is just enough space to park a small car thanks to this side wall. The footprint is supposedly only 30 sq meters.
