Egg-xtra Special Design

Well since it is getting close to Easter & every store is selling rabbits, little baby chicks, or pastel colored eggs, I thought I would share some egg-inspired décor myself. Here is a couple objects that have been inspired by one of those not-so-pastel eggs. Enjoy!

Egg Shaped House called blob VB3 is a mobile unit for your Backyard by Belgian architectural firm dmvA


Seeds are already in this pot all you have to do is crack the top of the “egg” with a spoon, water the seeds, & wait for the plants to grow!



Ovetto Recycling Bin designed by italian architect, designer, & art director Gianluca Soldi. It is named after italian word for egg, ovetto,& is made out of recycled polypropelene.

Gentoo concept car uses no fossil fuels at all. It also uses self balancing technology & powered by a lithium battery. So, it really is meant to be cute & really nice to look at.

A Pop of Color...

Just a real quick post…

I saw this concept car online a little bit ago & thought it was the cutest thing! Of course the pink color had me at hello but, the bug/ space car (what a mix huh?) look kept me interested. Kia came up with this full-electric concept car & the name of the car, "Pop", is just as cute as the stylish car itself. It seats three people & was unveiled at the Paris motor show last September (I know I am kind of late on this one!). The Pop recharges in 6 hours with 87mph top speed & a 100-mile range. It is relatively tiny, measuring just 3 meters long. It also has LED head & tail lights which adds to the chic design of the concept car. It even has a great color story! I think this one contends with the Smart car as my next choice of a car...



Look at the doors too!


The beautiful interior






The LED headlights


One of the main features is this glass roof

A side view of this futuristic mini car...even the tires are fantastic!


So what do you think? Is it back to the future with this little concept car? I think it is. It's the way of the future, at least city driving, for cars like the Pop. Europe has been doing it for awhile now so why can't the United States catch on? I hope Kia actually puts this one into manufacturing!


Well, that is my sweet treat for you.
Hope you have a great Wednesday...this week is half over! :-)


peace & love,
