reality



Unfortunately this is still reality in the peripheral areas of São Paulo;


no sanitation and garbage everywhere.






This while star architect Daniel Libeskind has designed a very expensive appartmentbuilding in the city´s most expensive area.

The building will include 14 apartments - one per floor plus a two-floor penthouse -from 565 to 1,145 square meters and each unit’s floor plan will be individual.

Urban bike design



The latest and ultimate VANMOOF model, the Düsenjäger, was selected by a jury out of 14.000 entries from 68 countries and awarded with the Red Dot for product design.


The urban VANMOOF
Düsenjäger clearly convinced the judges with its built-in ABUS chain lock, integrated solar LEDs and USB port. The Düsenjäger has an anodized aluminium frame, is light as a feather and equipped with a duomatic hub: two gears but zero cables. The iconic Düsenjäger is stripped from the redundant. The bike is slick and simplistic on the outside while clever and strong on the inside. With its anodized red rims, minimalistic looks and edgy details, riding the Düsenjäger makes you look fly and feel like flying.
