Bottoms-up
If you like your bottle of Coke a whole lot, Bottleware is for you. Japanese design company Nendo and Coca-Cola have come up with a set of dishes and bowls that have rings of dimples on the underside, and the greenish tinge of the beverage bottles that have been in production since 1916.

This Galuzzi-designed California from Moto Guzzi comes with a 1,380 cc, eight-valve, transverse-mounted V-twin engine that has been tuned for smooth, power delivery. And of course it’s a looker.
