The L-Rod sits comfortably beside your work-screen, giving you an additional wireless display that sleekly sits in place, with little to no parallax, thanks to its wedge screen edge.

alfa_romeo_discovolante_01

For all its aggressiveness, the Alfa Romeo Disco Volante concept by Alex Imnadze also has a delicate femininity to it. Makes perfect sense considering its flowing form was inspired by the natural curves of a woman’s body!

Designer Will Jordan saw opportunities to improve the artificial hive which has gone largely unchanged for many years. The result is a hive that’s not only more functional but aesthetically friendly!

bugatti_type57t_4

This concept car designed by Arthur B. Nustas revives the classic vintage Type 57T coupe by the German automotive giant, combining Jean Bugatti’s original work with the modern Bugatti aesthetic everyone so instantly recognizes and loves!

The idea of transferring someone’s persona to a digital form that lives on isn’t anything new… but never has it looked so chic!

Most keychains feature either a ring to hold your keys, or a carabiner that you slip your keys into. The Key Wrangler features both!

While most fidget toys are designed to keep you engaged, the Mokuru is designed to keep you entertained!

mellow

The Mellow table also happens to be a 360° speaker, giving you hi-def rich sound while also doubling up as a wonderfully charming piece of furniture!

pluma_track_bike_1

The Pluma is a Track Bike, focusing on being immensely resistant to stress, force, and pressure while minimizing drag… allowing it to cut through the track like a knife across butter in the summer!
