The Croatian company Rimac is engaged in the development and sale of its own electric hypercars and electric drive systems used by the giants of the automotive industry.

The church is a place of tranquility, where prayer, silence and occasional choir singing reign. But from the church in the Spanish town of Illanera, you won't hear begging and singing, but spinning wheels and excited shouts. The La Iglesia Skate team transformed the interior of the 100-year-old church into a skate park. The nave, where there are pews for the faithful, has been replaced by a half-pipe, a presbytery with an altar, a sofa and a table, and the frescoes by picturesque graffiti.
The "Salt house" competition, published by Outsider magazine, experienced a great response among teams from all over the world. As many as 890 teams of authors registered, and 252 of them submitted their essays on time, of which 80 percent were foreign. Among them was the proposal of Oliver Thomas from the architecture office PIXEL.
Many go to multi-day music festivals with tents, as the event space allows tenting. Unfortunately, many people return from such events in a bad mood, because many tents collapse due to the playful crowd. That is why the Dutch have produced the KarTent disposable tent, which will be welcomed by visitors and organizers as well as sponsors and advertisers, as it is a potential advertising space.
Adrenaline junkies, enthusiasts and fans of radical architecture: we have a house for you! Last week we spotted a house on the edge of a cliff and this week an overhanging house in Japan.

The year 2024 brought a breath of fresh air to bathroom design, where functionality and privacy traditionally meet. This year's bathroom trends are designed to create a space that serves as a refuge from the outside world and a place for revitalization.
When you think of a sofa, you certainly don't imagine a piece of light furniture, something that you can freely move around whenever you want. But what if we told you that there is an extremely light and mobile sofa made of cardboard with a load capacity of up to 150 kilograms, which, on top of everything, rocks like a rocking chair. Maybe it's not as nice as a leather sofa, but if you've just moved in and you don't have the money for it yet, there's no reason to be without a sofa until then.
Multifunctional furniture has been the desire of many designers and manufacturers, but few have succeeded in what Unamu, a company from Spain, has achieved. Idea leader Humberto Navarro, who acquired his design skills and knowledge all over the world, has always wanted to make modular furniture. He poured his passion into the Unamo brand, whose main collections are 3Moods and Essenza. We present you the first.
Muffin coffee tables or armchairs are very eloquent just by the name, but when we see their image, everything is clear.
The umbrella as we know it is almost as old as the Earth, having existed in a similar form for 3,000 years. Still, it took until 2015 to find the perfect one. We have to thank the innovator and engineer Jenan Kazim, who reinvented it. In fact, there are no differences on the outside, and even then, he only made one change, but this is a key one. An opening and closing mechanism that closes the "eaves" on the inside (but unfolds like a flower) and why the folded umbrella never drips.
