Carbon Ski Concept by Audi and Head

Filed under: Sports

Audi has culled its experience from motorsports and its partnership with the German Ski Association to design a fresh take on the downhill ski.

Built around a wooden core, sandwiched with aluminum and titanium and coated in carbon fiber, the Audi Carbon Ski concept is said to be some 200 grams lighter than a comparable conventional design. And though the design remains a concept for the time being, Audi and sports equipment firm Head are testing the skis for production potential.

Trophy Lamp

For city-dwellers who may be following the trend, the Trophy Lamp is another way to get some animal imagery into your home without the head of an actual animal. The limited edition light fixture is made from resin, hand-molded into the likeness of a proud deer. It is lit from behind via fluorescent tubes that are embedded in the sculpture. The lamp is $3,950 and not only do you gain an extra light fixture, but you avoid the potential pitfalls (bug infestation, for example) associated with using a real head in your decorating.
