yacht.codex

This beautiful yacht comes mixed with modern design and green technology. Designed by Code-X AG in collaboration with Silicon-Fire AG, the boat features "a flexible solar hybrid propulsion system," located in the recessed center in front of the main compartment, that makes the yacht quieter than peers and more environmentally friendly. Code-X AG is a newly formed Swiss brand but their website (and subsequent Google searches) give minimal information. According to their website, the company is dedicated to creating exclusive environmentally conscious products. The yacht is their first product but comes without a list price, though they give their contact information for serious buyers. The idea of the glass enclosure that raises and lowers at the push of a button is neat but it's a shame there seems to be no standing area in the front to enjoy the wind of boating. If you look at the last picture, though, you can see that a platform unfolds to extend the base for easy access when the glass raises. Normally I enjoy large yachts (think mini-mansions) but it's always good to have something zippy to suite the need for speed.

christofle.water

I came across these modern water decanters at luxist.com. The one on the left is designed for still water and it allows the H2O to rest at the bottom, while the one on the right  allows the air bubbles to rise to the top for sparkling water. BS? Who knows, but they look great. Each decanter is about 14 inches high and costs $580 on the Christofle website.
