Iceberg: Floating Cottage

Observing the structure of icebergs, Austrian architect Daniel Anderson has created a floating summer cottage design for Aland Hotels.

The minimalist exterior is an attempt to remain unintrusive to the wild surroundings. The 60m2 structure is partially submerged in the water with its roof top offering surfaces in which to lie and take in the scenery. Large windows seek to give a spacious feeling to the interior rooms and views of the surrounding panorama. The project is currently in the concept phase.

The 2010 Chanel Sport Collection

CHANEL has expanded their line of sports equipment to include everything from boogie boards to bocce ball. Tons of snow skis, five snowboards, four different surfboards, a bicycle, five tennis racquets, two guitars, a scooter, fishing gear, golf clubs, Polo gear, a boomerang, a basketball, a football.... even inline skates. The luxury brand now has everything you need to compete in style whether riding a horse, or a wave.

As expected, they are all with CHANEL logos, cases and fine details.

But somehow, I feel they don't faithfully reflect the CHANEL brand. Or maybe its just because I'm not used to seeing the brand on sports equipment...
