Crane DeTomaso Pantera

Taking inspiration from Carlo Pecino AKA Colorsponge and his spectacular Ferrari 308 Brawler, Daniel Crane from Crane Designs has given the iconic 1971-1975 DeTomaso Pantera a modern twist. The Italian machine was one of the greatest supercars ever to be built, and making an improvement to something which is already perfect is an almost impossible task, but we think Daniel nailed it in this build. He maintained the hard-edged wedge shape, but modified and updated some of the stylings with a more modern approach, while preserving the shapes and forms that have established it as one of the most revered automotive designs in history. He also extended the wheel fenders with oversized flares, stripped out some smaller cosmetic details, and painted everything black, creating an remarkable modern widebody supercar.

FINA FOLDABLE KAYAK

Fina is a compact foldable kayak that can be neatly stored away when not in use. Conceived by industrial designer Cristina Borras, the beautiful two-seat kayak is aimed for calm waters. Built in plywood, the five-meter kayak collapses down into only two-meters long by effectively splitting the boat in three parts with clever construction and origami-like folding precision. Four hatch fasteners are strategically positioned to secure the prow and stern in place for sa...
