If you do a fair bit of motorway or countryside driving (especially around the warmer months) it’s a good guess that up some point or another you’ve got stuck behind one of those big, white boxes with windows that are limited to 50 miles an hour. Although frustrating for those in a hurry, you might one day be lucky enough to get stuck behind one of these examples of more interesting models and glare in amazement.

1. The Rolling Stone Eco Capsule

Designed by Nice Architects and submitted to the Andes Sprouts Society for a residency program, this environmentally friendly blueprint of the traditional caravan is work in progress. Built from environmentally-friendly materials the Rolling Stone is functional with natural energy and resources, powered by either wind turbine or solar panels. The front panel can be opened to double as an open studio space and water for waste and cleaning is sourced by two reservoirs. Could this be the next generation of caravan evolution?

Marcel Marceau

They are weird through excellence. And their faces and bodies tell amazing stories. Their feelings seem genuine and mysterious. A simple play – like an invisible act of magic and love and sad joy. The cute, charming, childish MIMES.
