Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid sports sedan

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio will receive the first Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid sports sedan pictured above according to a new report from the company.  The car was created by former Aston Martin designer Henrik Fisker and uses  a 260 bhp 2.0-litre turbo four engine that doubles as a generator when there is no electric power.

At present five cars a week are being built at the Valmet production plant in Finland, with production set to rise to 300 cars a week from November. Consequently Fisker estimates the $100,000 car (set to cost around £95,000 in the UK after taxes) is sold out until early 2012.

Parmesan Cheese Pencil created by Kolle Rebbe

Available at the-deli-garage: “Shaped like oversized pencils, the “leads” contain three different flavors: truffles, pesto and chilli. With the sharpener included, the required amount of cheese can be sprinkled on the dish. A scale on the pencils and on the back of the packaging doesn’t just simply list how much of the Cheese Pencil is needed for each dish, but even how many calories the portion contains”.
Sadly they were only created in a limited run of 500 sets, which sold out in just 2 weeks.

The ESPA spa at The Ritz-Carlton In Honk Kong

The ESPA spa at The Ritz-Carlton International Commerce Center (ICC) heralded as the highest spa in the world, and superbly re-defines the urban spa experience – one breathtaking spa treatment at a time.

Designed by HBA / Hirsch Bedner, the 10,000-foot sumptuous spa is located on the 116th and 118th floors of the luxury property – creating a rejuvenating urban escape for its discerning guests, while claiming the title as the crowning jewel of Hong Kong’s sparkling skyline.

In the glamorous ESPA spa’s VIP suites, guests occupy their own luxury cocoon, anchored by a bronze feature wall, a beautiful feature bath with gorgeous views over Hong Kong, and a relaxing living area with contrasting textures and materials in rich bronze tones. The VIP spaces also afford room for two treatment bed areas which can either be used together (great for couples) or divided into two private spaces.

Inside the spa’s relaxation room, custom-designed lounger pods are individually curtained with delicate, sheer fabric to create the ultimate privacy – while still allowing light to flow naturally through the space. The relaxation room is truly an idyllic place in which guests can slowly relax prior to or post treatment — emerging fully renewed.
