For those that seek retro chic in only its finest forms, luxury French silverware designers Christofle have lent their touch to one of video gaming’s most iconic images: the Space Invader.
The first Space Invaders game appeared in 1978, with endless rows of pixelized grimacing aliens marching like an army of robot crabs towards earth’s one brave remaining defender.

The yacht has big intakes, and starting from the Lamborghini Reventon’s side view, the designer changed the intake behind the door in a huge window, to characterize the boat with a single large element.
