A fabulous design comes to my internet doorstep today, Amar Vaya, a designer who takes extra philosophical time in designing a car, one called Axiom in this case. Branded with the Audi name, the Axiom is an exercise in emphasizing the idea of “beauty” within the tradition of Audi’s idiom. What’s that mean? It means it’s gotta look like an Audi. People HAVE to know that it’s an Audi when they first peek at it. But right before or right after that, their next thought has to be “wow, that is quite the sight to behold, wouldn’t you say so? Yes, yes I would.”

Has Amar Vaya done it? Let’s take a look here. Vaya notes that success and progress through technology are tenants of the Audi brand, indeed that is one of the main driving forces behind them. Through this, Vaya promotes the Axiom as hope through progress, a freedom or refuge from an uncertain world as you sit inside a shell of futurism.

The second area where Vaya explores beauty through Audi is time. Through what Vaya describes as the “history, wisdom, knowledge, and legacy” of Audi especially through their design and technological advances, the Axiom describes all of this aesthetically.

Power, agility, beauty, Audi. Hotness, Vaya.

On November 27th, we will see the 70th birthday celebration of martial-arts and movie celebrity, Bruce Lee. Known for his lightning quick speed and undeniable heart of a dragon, his attacks took the world by storm to the point where he became an action movie star. Enterbay created a 1/4 scale HD Bruce Lee figure in his famous pose from “Enter The Dragon”. The release date is slated for September 2010, but you can pre-order now from Enterbay for $170.

Visitors to China’s Green Dream Park—not far from the 2008 Olympics’ “Bird’s Nest” stadium—are currently being greeted by a 40-foot tall, six ton Optimus Prime made from five truckloads of car and truck spare parts.

The park opens Friday, and features other environmentally friendly attractions designed to get visitors thinking green. Of course, were I face to face with this behemoth, I’d only be thinking a) how far away is Megatron, and b) where’s the nearest eco-conscious hiding place?

Land Rover lets us in on their design direction for the future with the unveiling of the Range Rover Evoque. The car is a bit of a departure from the Range Rovers of old with its new coupe design and its sharper, angular profile. No details yet on what’s going to power the car, but we do know that it will be their most fuel efficient Range Rover yet and it will be available in 2WD and 4WD versions when it hits showrooms in the fall of 2011. Link

Designer Brad Denboer couldn’t quite find the toys he dreamed about so he decided to build them himself. Auditorium Toy Co. was founded with the intention of celebrating the elegance of simple designs fabricated by historical craftsmanship.

Auditorium Toys are of superb quality. They are unique toys that are quiet, timeless, durable and beautiful — the type of toys that your grandchildren’s grandchildren will love. Each design is carefully handcrafted and engineered in extremely limited, numbered editions in their small studio in Tucson, Arizona, using time honored techniques and tools. Auditorium believes that the slower you put things together, the slower they fall apart.
