popout tree: a christmas tree for your hole life

The pop-out tree is 1,80 meters high and and has all what a real christmastree has to have: a pretentious dressing. Advantage over an authentic tree is that you can set it up in 10 seconds. And when christmas is over you can store him easily everywhere you want.

Unfortunatly this is one of Simeon van Tellingen’s prototypes. We hope that we see it soon in store. Waiting for christmas in 2008 …

polska – style icon

poland. This car is small, oldfashioned, uncomfortable and slow – but still polands popularst car. The Fiat polski, polish people call him ‘maluch’ what means ‘the small one’, is 2 meters long and 1,40 meters high. It has not even a trunk. 3,5 million exemplars were produced between 1971 and the productionstop in the year 2000.

If 5 people are sitting in this car, it can reach a speed of 100km/h. The only problem is that the stopping distance is then around like at a locomotive. And after an 1 hour drive it needs minimal a 5 minute rest, because the motor has to cool down – there is no condenser.
