‘Culture x Design x Style’

We pull inspiration from all over the shop. It drives us as designers, to be creative, to keep us ticking. The web is so full of blogs and sites that are great, it’s hard to think where to start. But at the top left of our browsers, we have a folder called ‘Daily Roamings’, and that’s where the really special sites we find go. Why? Because they are sites that we decide are worth looking at every time we fire up in the mornings because they usually have something that gives us that extra spark for the day.

‘Hell For Leather’ is one such site. No, nothing to do with S&M, but everything to do with stuff that goes fast, particularly stuff on two wheels. We love it, enough to actually tell you about it.

Press from Philippe’s office:

“VOXAN the exclusive and unique French motorbike brand presents its new extreme vision of the café racer. With the “super naked Xv”, Voxan by Starck. Raw power enhanced by the radical purity of the minimalism. The absolute essence of the motorcycle. 1200 cm ³. 140 horsepower 180 kg. Order on internet. Available beginning last quarter 2007.”

The design co-lab jury is still out on this one. While Stark’s first bike for Aprillia was a milestone, we are not so sure about this, We think we’d prefer a ‘Confederate B-120 Wraith‘ if we were going to go uber exclusive, expensive, nutso.
