S.T Dupont MiniJets

A pretty cool initiative by S.T Dupont. Known for its classic luxury lighters with the signature "clinking" sound once closed, the brand has always aimed for the more "mature" crowd.

Today, S.T Dupont has decided to widen its target to include a younger generation with the launch of their very compact, flashy, spicy and exotic new incarnations. There are 14 trendy colors such as; Fuchsia Buzz, Bleu Eclectique, and Orange Fizz.

To promote the MiniJet series, Dupont has launched a Facebook app whereby you can send coded messages to your list of friends based on the choice of colors you choose. Pretty cool!

Heynsdyk 2500 SF

The Heynsdyk 2500 SF bears a brand you may never have heard of, producing a sports car you may never have seen. Its design is at once classic and contemporary, a fusion of influences from the BMW Z roadster to the Weismann Roadster and the classic racers of the 1940’s and 50’s.

Underneath the hood of the Heynsdyk 2500 SF– this beauty is all Porsche, 944 to be exact. This Heynsdyk is actually a kit car built around the platform of Porsche 944 of the mid-80s.
The best part about picking up a Heynsdyk 2500 SF is its price. The kit alone can be had for roughly $20,000 USD, but you’ll need to get your hands on a healthy Porsche 944 or 944S first.

If you want to pick up a complete Heynsdyk, it’ll cost you around $50,000 USD– still a great price for a car that you’ll never see two of on the road.

Erased Classic

Erased Classic is a collection of carpets by Jan Kath. They are based on classical patterns from Italian wall coverings and Indian saris. The carpets are produced by weavers at manufacturing sites in Kathmandu. But their final look is caused by acid, which makes the patterns fade and disappear. The customer cannot only define the color, materials, size, knot density, and design, but also the degree of erosion.
