It seems a creative light switch was turned on in Stuttgart because that A Class concept they released last year was absolutely stunning. Excuse me, my mind is still blown. On a completely related yet unrelated note (read: not an official Benz concept), designer Peter Verdai created this concept to celebrate 125 years of 3-pointed star awesomeness. Fluidity, speed, dynamic and streamlined. That’s what I see. There’s a heavy influence from aircraft design. The wheels contain a 3-spoke/star assemblage because we all know how much bigger Benz’ logo has grown over the years. Quite garish but clever. The overall design is definitely polarizing but that’s why I’m posting this. I want to see more ideas like this. Like Peter’s idea and Mercedes Benz’ A Class concept, I want to see creative ideas that will have half the people screaming blooding sacrilege. Designer: Peter Vardai ----------        |
| Posted: 16 Jan 2012 01:09 AM PST Steve Jobs once said that people don’t know what they until you show it to them. This is probably why we have independent gadgets now vying for integration with features of mainstream products. Can your tablet take good pictures; is your cellphone smart like a computer; can your MP3 player shoot videos? Not only are we duplicating applications, we are also diluting the individuality of a device. I'm not going to judge on the technology wastage here, instead I'll update you on concepts like the Lifebook. An idea that integrates a tablet, camera, phone and music player to collectively form the hardware for a laptop! They all work independently to support their unique identity and yet unify to create a magical device.

| Posted: 16 Jan 2012 12:02 AM PST The 360 Iron is the result of an exploration into the evolution of the common iron and a representation of key improvements made to an appliance that has otherwise experienced minimal change over the years. The design revolves around a flexible, ergonomic joint that transfers twisting of the wrist to the iron itself thereby reducing hand-strain. A touch-screen display replaces complex dials and buttons adding to its intuitiveness and overall easy of use. Designer: Bernardo Bajana 360 iron from Bernardo Bajana on Vimeo. ----------     |
| Posted: 16 Jan 2012 12:01 AM PST A response to increasingly urbanized environments, the SleepBox is a contemporary piece of furniture designed to be resting spot in semi-public spaces like airports and offices. To withstand constant use, the solid shell is composed of hardwearing, durable HIMACS that also makes the seamless appearance possible. It’s as visually captivating as it is tonal for catching up on a little R&R. Designer: Caspar Lohner ----------     |
| Posted: 16 Jan 2012 12:01 AM PST This delicate-looking, floral inspired design by Hyun-Seok Kim at first looks like a sculptural floating egg, but when the petal-like sides come down the interior is revealed as a cabin fit with an underwater panoramic view, convertible sofa-bed, and water level deck. The Fiorella isn’t so much a yacht as it is a maneuverable floating picnic spot, but it is just as entertaining! Fiorella has a water jet engine and eight nozzles are attached with water jet control valves. These eight nozzles control direction as well as act as a stabilizing system. Acceleration sensors adjust the nozzles and 16 petals in tandem to control its balance perfectly. Designer: Hyun-Seok Kim ----------     |
