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.

Mindscape, from what we can gather, does some really interesting urban landscaping projects, from products to spaces. Their site is well worth a look and shows projects that we think would have a hard time taking off in the West.

….and the justification for putting it here? It’s neat stop-go animation……

Amazing what one finds in their bookmarks.
