| Posted: 23 Jan 2012 09:19 AM PST Simone Madella’s BMW Tandem is the latest in a trend of concept autos that take inspiration from motorcycles, mixing some of the advantages of both to create a futuristic, adrenaline pumping, and unique vehicle. The Tandem is powered by the same 193 HP engine found in the BMW S1000rr motorcycle. The moto-inspiration can also be seen in its sporty yet light exterior styling and, of course, the tandem seating in the cockpit. Designer: Simone Madella

| Posted: 23 Jan 2012 09:00 AM PST What to do with all those magazines? For starters, throw them out or give them away. Minimize your life. If you can’t, then pay attention to my finger. It’s pointing at you while the word “hoarder” flies out of my mouth. So if you have to keep them, check out the Magazine Globe. It’s designed for reception areas but anyone can use it really. Comes flat packed for easy shipping too. My only issue is once you fill it up to capacity, it’ll be kind of hard to skim covers. Designer: Niels Kjeldsen

| Posted: 23 Jan 2012 02:46 AM PST As intuitive as touchscreen tablets maybe, I think there are certain situations where you wish you could add on the keyboard for a more comfortable laptop experience. PC Digital Skin addresses this need in a very clever way. It is the combination of a tablet, a mobile phone and a lizard-skin cover, which doubles up as a Bluetooth keyboard. All three used together, give you the perfect laptop experience and yet retain their individuality. The trinity sync via Bluetooth and the natural texture of lizard skin conceal the keyboard seamlessly. Very clever indeed! Designer: Sono Mocci

| Posted: 23 Jan 2012 12:02 AM PST The conceptual Opportune smartphone app tracks a user’s interests based on keywords from their Facebook updates, web searches, and frequented sites and gives them real-time geolocated “connections” that might be able to help them with something they’ve been searching for. For example, someone in the market for a house could walk in to a coffee shop and see that a real estate agent is at the same coffee shop. With a simple click of a button the two can link up and talk business within minutes! Designer: Itai Miller

| Posted: 23 Jan 2012 12:01 AM PST For those confined to a wheelchair, getting around onboard an aircraft can be quite challenging & usually requires assistance from one of the flight crew. Adding this element to the already frustrating flying experience can discourage users from travlling altogether. This is where the Skycare Chair wins- utilizing wheels placed under the seat rather than at the sides & a hand-operated lever system to move forward or backward. It offers independence when moving to & from the lavatory or from chair to gate. Designer: Brian Liang
