Which is basically just a floating city adorably shaped like a giant turtle. The vessel is called Pangeos, a direct reference to Pangea, the supercontinent that existed millions of years ago. Specifically during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. It bills itself as “the floating city of the future,” of course only if you can afford it. This whole idea started back in 2009 when designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini…

At this point, the company has expanded its product line to include all sorts of hobbies and interests, even nerdy ones. Below we will look at…
