is it a sofa or chair?
When is a chair not a chair? When it’s a sofa, or a chaise of course. Well that is the idea behind this three-in-one design from newcomer Roel Verhagen-Kaptein. Roel’s take on modern seating just might have been inspired by those lovable, petrol blooded Cybertrons. With the same utilitarian notion built into Optimus Prime, you too can simply rearrange the pieces of this seating concept to transform into a chair, a three person sofa, or a chaise lounger for those nights spent drawing Kate Winslet in the nude. However you look at it, this design has your ass covered. (Golf clap)
Nice phone
The Edge phone is designed for the style conscious fashionistas. The name has nothing to do with data speed. In fact we don’t even know what this phone is capable of because as with all fashion phones, looks rein supreme and the Edge phone makes sure you notice with its glowing glass keyboard.
To answer an incoming call, slide the glass keyboard out. An embedded LED illuminates the etched numerics via refraction creating a glowing effect. The only visible lines is the microphone wiring which designer Chris Owens has cleverly disguised as a keyboard border.
