A CD player was disassembled and the components rearranged to suit the layout of a phonograph. The speakers are put below the trumpet loudspeaker for amplification. The wooden box is made slightly more spacious then the electrical PCB board needed to achieve bass resonance. The laser pointer is shifted to the top allowing the spin of the CD to be clearly shown. By bringing back a familiar nostalgic form of a phonograph, the design seeks transport the user back to the golden age of phonographs in early 1900s where sound broadcasting had a magical feel.

Originally designed for the European market, the Revolver concept was created to propose a new solution. Many of the ATVs currently sold in Europe are homologated for on-road use as “quadricycles.” Virtually all of today’s active, street-legal, homologated quadricycles are off-road vehicles that have been adapted for on-road use. The Revolver concept is a purpose-built vehicle designed to deliver good off-road performance combined with a new level of on-road capability.
Revolver provides an awesome new experience with an uncommonly urban edge of sharp, aggressive attitude. The design of the Revolver includes such appointments as supple Italian leather seating, low-profile “floating” fender designs, modular deep-dish alloy wheels and stunning “light ring” headlights. In addition, a state-of-the-art iPod® entertainment system will see to it that you and your passenger are always in tune. Every sculpted detail works in concert with one another to create a look and feel that reflects the unheard of experience and attitude this vehicle provides.

Balance is an authentic luxury-smartphone. Up to now, these two categories (luxury and smart) have diverged, and few well-executed alternatives exist. The choice of material (titanium and stainless steel) and its mechanism (a shell-slide solution) impart exclusivity to the phone, while its features satisfy the most exigent business and multimedia requirements. The 45 x 73.5 x 10.25 mm concept combines the advantages of shell- and slider phones; when placed inside a pocket, the phone’s two inner touch-sensitive screens are protected, its storage therefore requiring no special attention.
