What the hell is that?

Our range is constantly growing. With some products, you don't know exactly what you're looking at even the third time you look at them. Today: a shiny dolphin skull.
The very fact that I am presenting this thing as a replica of a sea creature shows that I have no idea what it could be. In any case, we certainly don't sell dolphin heads - whether made of metal, bone or other materials. Maybe a spaceship for the living room? Nope, otherwise I would have bought three of them by now. A flower vase at an angle? No. A fancy bike helmet for time trials? No way! I hardly dare to say it: Could it be a sextoy? Nope.
This thing is futuristic, no doubt about it. But the way it works is far less exciting than the design might suggest. It is a handheld hoover from - how could it be otherwise - Alessi. Designer Stefano Giovannoni probably thought to himself: "Vacuum cleaners are big, bulky and ugly. I'm now creating a household appliance that is still shi****, but looks damn cool." Congratulations, Stefano, you've more than succeeded. And yet: hoover remains hoover.
PS: I've got a big surprise in store for you next week - so be sure to check back next Friday to make sure you don't miss the upcoming special edition.
From climbing ropes to red wine and impact drills, there's almost everything. With this motto in mind, we browse our range for unusual products that make you wonder: what the hell is that? Follow me and you won't miss any of these rarities. Discovered something here that you think is absolutely weird? Then get in touch and post the link below as a comment.

On rainy days, I tinker with my homebuilt PCs, robots or other gadgets. Music is always my trusted companion. I also enjoy tackling hilly terrain on my road bike and criss-crossing the country on my cross-country skis.
