The Living Guide

This is arguably one of the most 'famous' espresso machines in the consumer world. It's been featured in countless movies, routinely on television shows like Will and Grace, and even Mikhail Baryshnikov played around with one extensively in Sex and the City. The machine I'm talking about is the Francis! Francis! X1 machine.

Beautiful and well-made, Francis Francis espresso machines are a true marriage of striking Italian design and state-of-the-art technical innovation, crafted for the sole purpose of creating the perfect espresso experience in the home. It goes without saying that the finest home espresso requires a machine of the highest-quality.

The Francis Francis metal, pump-driven espresso machines for the home, designed by Italian architect Luca Trazzi, are a favorite among consumers who appreciate their stylish design and superior performance. 

The Loft Cube
Would need one of these...The loft cube is made for people living in cities with a nomadic and minimalistic lifestyle. Designed to be installed on the flat roofs of existing structures the loft cube is a small mobile living space that can be dropped off via construction crane or freight helicopter on unused city-centre rooftops. In this way, Werner Aisslinger, a designer in Berlin, is seeking to open up a new, sunny environment with lightweight, mobile housing cells. After two years of preparatory work, the planners presented a prototype of their modular dwelling unit on the roof of the Universal Music building in Berlin.  The price for 39 square meter's Loft Cube is 109.000 Euro, and for 55 square meter's 144.000 Euro including bathroom and kitchen.
