By Sandra BIFFOT-LACUT Paris (AFP) - Emblème des Jeux de Paris qui a attiré chaque jour des milliers de personnes, la vasque olympique a été éteinte dimanche soir pour la fin des JO mais sera rallumée pour les Paralympiques fin août, avant de peut-être s'installer définitivement dans la capitale française. Dans le jardin des Tuileries, près du Louvre, c'est la star française des bassins Léon Marchand qui a fait s'éteindre cet anneau en aluminium de sept mètres de diamètre pesant 1,3 tonne, dans lequel peut luire une flamme électrique, et surmonté d'un ballon rempli d'hélium.

Sometimes, companies reveal vehicle concepts that we had no idea existed—ideas that either laid the groundwork for future products or simply never had the chance to make it beyond the concept stage.

Interestingly, Pontiac still had a new concept vehicle that had never been revealed as a result of this discontinuation, which up until June 24, 2024, nearly 16 years after it was built, has finally been revealed to the public via General Motors Design on Instagram. Pontiac G8 Concept: DetailsThe Pontiac G8 Concept is pretty cool. It was built by Pontiac in 2008 before GM killed the brand. Accor...

A leading light of Britain's postwar industrial design went out this week as Sir Kenneth Grange died at the age of 95. From pens to chairs to lamps via trains and taxis - Grange left his indelible mark across decades of design.

The East London neighbourhood of Hackney may be known as a contemporary hub for the arts, but its creative credentials go way back. The latest string to be added to the area’s artistic bow is a set of 17th-century decorative paper-cuttings.

It was only last year, however, that volunteers sorted through and catalogued the tiny, delicate objects, cut...
