The K60 Anaconda is a concept yacht with semi-rigid design, aiming to push the boundaries of comfort, power, technology and style. This extremely light, next generation boat propels with two 1200 HP engines and is able to run over 55 knots with maximum efficiency and agility in the water.
One key feature of the K60 Anaconda that has given it the highest standards of comfort and luxury are the absolutely unsinkable inflatable tubes.

The new touring boat designed for touring the waters of Ljunljanica River in Slovenia is surely a designer masterpiece. The boat named as “The Argo” can be termed as an eye candy as design wise it’s a beauty and is equivalent to what a convertible is to cars. The boat has primarily been designed to capture the picturesque locales of the surrounding areas of Ljunljanica River and being opened without any boundaries as it represents openness. Also the lack of boundaries depicts the closeness it can find to nature. This conceptual design has also won the BIO 21 Quality Concept Award. I must admit it deserves the same.

Let’s face it…public restrooms are a necessary part of life. They are often unsanitary, broken, outdated, and generally only used when there is no alternative. The products and systems that inhabit them have evolved only incrementally. The sync system represents a shift in the product category, pushing boundaries to deliver an enhanced public washing experience. Sync is a modular, no-touch hand cleansing/drying system that addresses these concerns by applying new technology and re-thinking the user’s work flow. The system replaces the current landscape of public sinks and hand drying systems by combining the two functions into one station. It delivers a noticeably ‘cleaner’ aesthetic, saves space and energy, simplifies the washing/drying experience, and improves restroom traffic flow.
High-pressure jets spray a mist of mild, ozonated water that sterilizes germs and bacteria, while providing a physical agitant to remove grime.After a 5 second wash cycle, the system begins blowing air from above, and sucking air in from below at a high speed, providing a fully cyclical airflow (shorter drying time). The air blows until the user removes hands from the field. Placing hands in Sync begins an automatic cleansing/drying cycle.
