So they said, if Nokia Aeon and the Apple iPod Nano 4G had sex, and the baby shall look something like this. It is a concept by designer Mac Funamizu. This Nanokia phone is using a nondescript tactile feedback technology making its surface adapts to different purposes, while the e-ink screen envelops the phone in graphics and information. I was thinking what if the Google phone G1 had sex with iPhone, will it be something like below:

Giving it a name Giphone

Here’s a very nice case that you don’t see at the any store, it is from Philadelphia based freelance designer Brian Kelly. The case is made from two bend panels of plywood which slide along one another to encase the laptop computer and it is lined with cork to giving it extra heat-resistance, extra cooling and extra protection. My dad is a carpenter, maybe i can ask him to make one similar xD. More pictures after the break. Read more…

A Hummer H3 was donated to a British artist named Matthew Harrison, creating it into a medieval wagon-wheeled vehicle. The car was currently being shown at the London’s ZOO Art Fair. A Tata Nano with those wheels will look even better.

The Michael Schumacher World Champion Tower, inspired by the geometrical order of a snowflake and the aerodynamics of a Formula 1. It is designed by LAVA (Laboratory for Visionary Architecture), the first project of a series of branded towers, a new concept by PNYG:COMPANY, a company focused on branding.

The building features an iconic silhouette and a facade characterized by vertical slots with private balconies. A series of reflective fins generates a vertical dynamic and gives the building a constantly changing appearance. The fins track the sun, control the solar shading and dissolve the rationality of the plan into a continuously evolving building volume. The facade’s continuous surface enables curvature with a lot of repetition and the potential for standardization in the building process. State-of-the-art engineering and innovative materials will be used to achieve a fully sustainable performance.

The building will start at the beginning of 2009 and will complete around June 2011.
