Sep 11, 2014 | Contributor: Djani Schafer The ICON E-Flyer II electric bike may be cool enough to compete with even the swankiest electric supercar. For those fortunate worker bees with short commutes, this bike makes the trip faster, easier and cooler. You don’t really need a commuting excuse to want this bike though. (Did we mention this bike was cool?) ... Read More |
Aug 15, 2014 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich The Renovo Coupe, the flagship luxury car from Renovo Motors, was officially introduced to the world today at the 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and is being hailed as the "first all-electric American supercar." With its 0-60 time of 3.4 seconds, 1,000 foot/pounds of direct-drive torque, and its super fast charge time of 30 minutes (making it circuit-ready), we know we're not the only ones excited for the Renovo Coupe's 2015 production. ...

Jul 29, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien There is something that we really love about ethically-derived, ecologically-friendly jewelry. Maybe it’s that there are limited resources or that it’s so much easier to buy a conflict-free diamond that not doing so makes us feel like bad people—our only issue is the selection can be sort of—limited. ...

Jul 8, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien When we first heard of bags made of cork we were understandably skeptical. Why would anyone want to tote around what is essentially a bulletin board on their arm? But with the durability, sustainability and light flexibility of the material, it almost makes sense that someone would try to make a better fabric from it—and someone did ... Read More |
Jul 2, 2014 | Contributor: JustLuxe Team Neo-Metro and Dyson announced their new bathroom sink, the Dyson Airblade Tap, at the 2014 Dwell on Design Conference in Los Angeles last month and while the design may be perfect for commercial needs, anyone concerned with cleanliness and the environment will probably want one in their house as soon as possible. ...

Jun 6, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien We have to say we’ve tried a lot of products in the JustLuxe offices—everything from body glitter to slimming lotion has passed over our desks, and although we enjoy most luxury beauty products, eco-friendly products are in a class all their own. ...

Apr 30, 2014 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich Over the week, Belgian motorcycle brand Saroléa unveiled their new SP7 electric superbike at the Mattet circuit in Belgium during the Speed Trophy. What's neat about this bike is that instead of trying to compete with other manufacturers that push a more futuristic look on their motorcycles, Saroléa's steampunk-like design hearkens to the past. ...

Apr 24, 2014 | Contributor: Donald Herrera-Fairbairn Bentley Motors revealed three hybrid concepts during the Beijing International Automotive Show earlier this month, but — as Bentley isn't content unless they're making the best — these hybrids are unlike any you've seen before. Where many luxury automotive companies make sacrifices to performance to bring weight down and efficiency up when designing with this technology, Bentley's unveiling shows just how luxurious and sexy a hybrid can be. ...

Apr 22, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien If you’re a fan of JustLuxe beauty articles you’ll know we have an unhealthy obsession with luxury skincare. We can’t help that $500 for a bottle of anti-aging cream sounds like a bargain, especially if it’s keeping those wrinkles at bay, so when the idea of DIY, natural beauty products came across our desks, we couldn’t help but scoff. ...

Mar 24, 2014 | Contributor: Susan Kime Petter Stordalen is not a name that many Americans know well, except in hotel and hospitality circles. But in Scandinavia, especially in Norway, his name is almost a household word. He has taken the renowned Norwegian hard work ethic to astonishing... Read More |
Mar 20, 2014 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich There are quite few of us here at JustLuxe who would jump at the chance to live in J.R.R. Tolkien's dreamt-up Shire, it's not a secret, and that's exactly what the Edgeland House made me think of. ... Read More |

Having a beehive in an apartment doesn't just sound like a bad idea, it sounds downright frightening — at least it used to. Philips has created what they're calling an urban beehive concept that not only collects rich, fresh bee-made honey, but the unit looks super cool; almost like something out of a Neill Blomkamp flick. ...

Jan 30, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien We all love jewelry—trendy pieces we can wear when we’re out with friends, glittering gems for date night, simple chains for just grabbing a bite to eat—but how much of what we own is ethically sourced? Do our cocktail rings do more than just adding something shiny to our fingertips? ... Read More |
Dec 16, 2013 | Contributor: James Rothaar French motorcycle manufacturer Voxan introduced the Wattman, which it claims is the "most powerful electric motorcycle in the world," at the Paris Motorcycle Show on December 2. The Wattman is a big, beefy hulk of a machine, measuring 7.7 feet long and weighing in at 772 pounds. Its 200-horsepower motor can accelerate from 0-100mph in 5.9 seconds, with a top speed of 106mph. ... Read More |
Nov 15, 2013 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich When Australia-based Charles Wright Architects were approached by a new client to design a carbon neutral home in an "environmentally sensitive site off-grid on the edge of the Far North Queensland (FNQ) beachfront rainforest," the firm embraced the challenge with excitement and the Stamp House is the impressive result. ...
