Bamboo Pavilion
The award-winning Bamboo Pavilion at the World Flora Exposition in Taiwan won a host of prizes last year for its environmentally conscious, carbon-reducing design, no doubt inspiring others to follow suit. Spearheaded by Taiwan’s Taichung Real Estate Development Association and conceptualised by Zuo Studio, the inspiration for the pavilion came from their native country’s central mountain range, with its main frame built with a combination of Moso and Makino bamboo. The design encourages visitor immersion and promotes a sense of Zen through the appreciation of all of Nature’s elements – when looking up, they can see through the structure into the sky, while its lighting design creates a Chinese bamboo lantern effect highlighting the pavilion’s intricate weaving. Even better, the structure in its entirety was built with less than MYR6,000! zuostudio.com
Diavel 1260S
The need for speed sees the Diavel 1260 adding the 1260S into its stable this year. The new, striking colours of red and white, and total black highlighted by a stunning red frame promise a thrilling ride. Its stunning good looks remain unchanged, combining the performance of a maxi-naked bike with all the creature comforts and ergonomics of a cruiser. An imposing front and extra-large 240mm rear tyre add action hero heft to the 1260 while the new S version features fully adjustable suspension on front and rear, a fortified braking system and dedicated wheels. Your ride is powered by the 159hp Testastretta DVT 1262 engine for sizeable torque at low rpm and bad boy performance at higher rpm. ducati.com
