Mau

Mau Conceptual Clothing has reinterpeted classic wardrobe staples in a feather-weight, high-performance, non-woven material called Tyvek®, for a collection of garments they call ‘post-industrial folk wear’. Consisting of 25% recycled content and in itself recyclable, Tyvek® offers both water resistance and breathability and softens with every wash and wear to eventually become supple like leather.

In addition to reversible dresses and unisex coats combining artisanal patternmaking with art-infused details, the range includes accessories such as tote bags and barrel bags.

Honda C-3R

The Honda C-3R is a revolutionary three wheeled battery electric vehicle concept designed to show what a future minimal urban transport vehicle for one person might look like.

Honda C-3R

The vehicle has a clear canopy that covers the driver’s seat while it is parked and not in use. When in motion, the canopy becomes an enveloping wind-shield that provides the pilot, who sits low in the vehicle, with significant protection from the bodywork and doors.

Acca Kappa toothbrush

Acca Kappa toothbrush

There really is no need to buy a toothbrush that looks like it has undergone wind tunnel testing to ensure you keep your pearly whites gleaming brightly. Last time I checked with a dentist, go faster styling and a sleek form factor had no bearing on improved dental hygiene, which is what makes the zen-like, archetypal styling of this toothbrush from Acca Kappa such a refreshing alternative to the hyper-styled turbo-toothbrushes on sale nowadays. Furthermore it is made entirely of biodegradable materials like cellulose acetate so it helps to keep the environment clean and healthy as well as your mouth.

Porsche 918 Spyder concept

I don’t class myself as much of a petrol-head so don’t go quoting brake horsepowers and trying to impress me with the fact that it is powered by a 3.4-liter V-8 engine and possesses a hybrid drive system, but I do know what I like and I am liking very much the sculptural lines of the 918 Spyder concept, recently unveiled by Porsche at the 2010 Geneva Autoshow.

Fadeout-chair

Fadeout-chair

Fadeout-chair, by Nendo, has legs that seem to gently disappear, as though the chair stands in a pool of mist or fog.

The chair’s back and seat are wooden, but the legs are clear acrylic, specially painted by craftsmen so that the wood grain appears to gradually fade away.
