A night at the architecturally cool, undefinable Acido Dorado
Toddlers eating cereal is a messy, often wet, affair. Bowls get dropped. Milk gets spilt. Cereal goes flying.
Here are three bowls that won’t break, might help your kids contain the mess and will always look cool:
Chances are that you have never visited an auto dealership purely for an afternoon of fun. That may change once construction is complete on a new car showroom megaplex.
Said new car showroom megaplex is not located in the United States, China or Germany, as you might expect. Instead, the Autopia Europia is being built in a suburb of Istanbul, Turkey. The massive building will be the world’s largest car dealership. Though we’d argue it will be much more than that.
Trying to categorize the lodgings offered by the Acido Dorado, located on the edge of California’s Joshua Tree National Park, is like trying to solve a Zen k?an.
Acido Dorado isn’t a house—it is too open to the elements for that. It isn’t a glamping (glamorous camping) experience and certainly isn’t a cabin—the setup is way too luxurious. The accommodations here aren’t indoors, though nor are they outdoors; rather, it is some ingenious melding of the two.
Any self-respecting sushi chef will tell you: Presentation is as important as taste to a superior sushi dish. That’s because sushi, in addition to being delicious, can also be artistic.
Here’s a look at some household items with a sushi design. None of these items are edible. But, if you are a fan of sushi, they will make you hungry:
Is it the ancient European city of Athens, Greece? Or is it South Beach in Miami? While staying at the Semiramis Hotel your GPS would tell you the former. But your senses would conclude the latter. The day-glo colored lobby filled with beautiful people. The ubiquitous pop art. The pastel swimming pool area filled with the scent of suntan lotion.
Yes, everything about the Semiramis is undeniably cool. But it is as certain that this boutique hotel not for everyone. Its in-your-face design, its vibe and its location are the best reasons to stay here—and the best reasons not to.
The old fashion beach umbrella. It’s ubiquitous at beach resorts—and in fruity drinks—world wide. But it is difficult to transport. And your typical beach umbrella becomes sub-optimal at the start and end of a beach-going day when the sun isn’t shining directly down.
Now from sporting good manufacturer SKLZ comes a better—and much more portable—version of the beach umbrella: the Sport-Brella.
You may have heard of the Beer of the Month Club, which sends its members a case of a different type of beer every month. There’s also a Cheese of the Month Club, a Flower of the Month Club, a Dinner & Movie of the Month Club, a Bowtie of the Month Club and many, many more.
Now, from the Japanese company Felissimo there’s something akin to a Colored Pencils of the Month Club. Though it is way cooler than that.
It requires a certain personality type to have a see-through bathtub at home. Even if you always take your baths in total privacy there’s something about a transparent tub that says I don’t mind people seeing every part of me from all angles.
Those who can pull off a clear tub will almost certainly get a cool bathroom as a result. Not only do clear tubs convey a distinctively modern look they also help make a bathroom look larger and more open.
Here are six of Spot Cool Stuff’s favorite see-through bathtubs:
