First came the Draganflyer X4, then the Draganflyer X6 and now the innovative team behind these mechanical dragonfly remote control helicopters are proud to announce the Draganflyer X8 – the most technologically-advanced and sophisticated remote controlled helicopter, ever.

The assumption that “boys will always be boys” and that “men never actually grow up”, can certainly be applied to the “boy toy” bait of the Draganflyer X8, as with its eight rotor blades, cutting-edge camera systems and optional handheld Ground Control Station, this state-of-the-art unmanned airborne vehicle (UAV) is guaranteed to enthrall and enthuse even the most ‘self-controlled’ of ‘boy toy’ lovers.

Posted by in Arts and Cultural Influences | Comments Off

The French car manufacturers continue their ‘designer collaborations’ by teaming up with Irish designer Orla Kiely in their latest exclusive collection.

With only 500 cars being made worldwide, this new collaboration is set to re-awaken the hype that surrounded the DS3 when it was first unveiled in 2009. The DS3 was advertised as an updated version of the Citroën C3, but was aimed at a more premium market. The big selling point is the bespoke customisation that gives buyers a choice of colours for the roof, mirrors, dashboard and wheel hubs.

New Polaroid line unveiled at the consumer electronics show

Posted by in Façonnable Lifestyle | Comments Off

Polaroid has revealed 3 new products from their Grey Label range at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. These innovative gadgets were demonstrated to spectators by musician Lady Gaga, who was appointed as Polaroid’s creative director in January last year.

The GL20 Camera Glasses, a set of sunglasses that double as a digital camera, are perhaps the most exclusive product in the collection. They have 1.5 inch OLED screens that capture and display images, as well as a video option. Wearers also are able to show images on the outer screen/lenses, allowing them to “tell their story to the world” according to Polaroid. There is a hidden USB key in the earpiece that enables the wearer to transfer images onto a computer, ideal for storing the images and uploading them to the internet. The Camera Glasses will be available to buy later this year and the price is to be announced.
