Of all the things we could have shown you from CES 2020 in Las Vegas (Consumer Electronics Show) which ranged from driverless cars, rotating TV’s, smart bins, headless robot cats (that’s right) this is probably the standout (well for style anyway) – the “Roland Facet Grand Piano”. The concept was conceived in 2015 for the Roland’s Digital Piano Design Awards by the winner Korean industrial designer Jong Chan. His design was motivated by polyhedrons and named ‘Facet’ –  inspired by crystalline structures. The angular build gives an amazing experience of sound for both player and audience combined with a visionary aesthetic.  Flat-panel speakers are in the base that which flow through the outer frame.

At this stage Roland has said it’s not going to be a product and has no plan for production which would probably devastate the Piano Man himself Billy Joel.

Those guys at Caviar have done it again by pimping out the Apple iPhone 11 Pro. The Caviar Cyberphone is inspired by the Tesla Truck. Encased in a stunning titanium overhaul, the phone still retains the 3 cameras and has the spec boost of a titanium panel covering the screen that also acts as a stand. We hope that the screen is tougher than the cybertrucks windows, which were meant to be indestructible yet epically failed at the launch after a metal ball was thrown at the trucks window at the live demonstration, and you guessed it – smashed. You’d better hurry they’re selling fast at a cool $10,600 (Pro Max 512Gb).

Now this is the Hummer of gaming machines.  For their 10th anniversary Origin decided to up the ante on their original machine which had the Xbox 360, and added Xbox One X, PlayStation 4 Pro, and Nintendo Switch to this powerful beast of a gaming PC. There’s no info on a commercial release..

“…cooled by a custom CRYOGENIC hard line liquid cooling system controlled by the PC…”

This is for all you skateboarders out there who have had a bad slam, which puts you out of action from your beloved sport and art form for a prolonged period of time. The problem has been solved with an Australian designed skateboarding liniment called ‘The Cream’. Designed to decrease the recovery time for various injuries such as hippers, twisted ankles, heel bruises, palm bruises and shinners. Founded in Melbourne in 2010 by long time and avid skateboarders Duncan Ewington and Kris Whiting, this all natural, highly concentrated cream made from a blend of traditional herbs known for their specific anti-inflammatory properties is not only restricted to skaters but to anyone who needs relief from sprains, swelling, bruises, bone and joint pain.

‘The Cream’ is also breaking into the international market and was at the acclaimed Agenda Show in Long Beach California this year, one of the largest and most respected trade shows in action sports, and street wear.

Check it out on Instagram, Facebook, Vimeo and testimonials from some of the world’s best skateboarder’s, such as Corey Duffel, professional rider for Foundation skateboards who says “My limbs would have fallen off without The Cream.”

Not only does it work to help you back onto your board quicker but it also smells great! Do yourself a favour and get ‘The Cream’ ($19.95AUD), ‘made by skateboarders for skateboarders’.
