Ferrari World Design Contest Finalist Samir Sadikhov’s Xezri


”The young designer from Azerbaijan attempted to reduce weight through extensive... use of carbon-fibre on both the exterior and interior. He wanted his design to be seen as, “very original, elegant, pure, modern, simple,” as well as, “dynamic” and, “lightweight, simple and striking”.Unique features abound, like the centrally-mounted F1 / jet fighter inspired cockpit with room for only the driver and twin touch-screens in place of wing mirrors and analogue buttons / switches”.

The real Pink Panther


The kittens whose fur changed colour after being bathed in cement – This adorable sight is one that could have easily been a tale of tragedy.Four kittens were found abandoned in a concrete factory in Reduct, Cornwall, weak and malnourished.But they are now being nursed back to health and are very much in the pink – in more ways than one.
Staff at the Cats Protection charity were given quite a shock when they tried to wash the four-week-old cats and they couldn’t remove the reddish hue from one, earning it the nickname ‘Pink Panther’.She was rescued by workers along with her two sisters and a tom cat – called Clouseau, Dusty and Cerise. It is thought that they came into contact with red pigment used in concrete manufacturing which had caused their unusual appearance. The dying is less obvious in three of the cats but Pink Panther has a creamy fur so she appears bright pink.

Books have never been more alive


Robert The is an artist that transforms ordinary books into funny shapes by cutting them. The shapes are everything from lobsters and scorpions to guns and cakes. They are still books but the content is unreadable, so they function only as art, or more precisely modern art.

Robert The, that is also a mathematician, has made these bizarre creations for many years, and you can see his works in several private collections in modern museums.
