Displayed at the Taiwan Broadband Show, the “Spider” from Ericsson is a PC concept for the year 2020 that comes with a pico-projected screen, a laser keyboard and a memory card reader built in the unit. Generating power from an integrated battery, the futuristic computer will have wireless broadband connectivity. Though the Spider PC is just a concept at the moment, it’ll possibly be something between a notebook and desktop PC. Definitely a gadget of the future, I will surely be looking forward to laying my hands on this one.

Imagine you being in the shoes of Lara Croft from Tomb Raider or being in Matrix or take any spy movie for that matter. The amazing gadgets and devices that they use absolutely amazes us all. OpenMe is a similar such concept ring that not only will take your breath away but will make a wonderful spy gadget as well. A very pretty crystal ring in cut glass, it also has a 3D scanner installed in through which you can open safety locks. I think this will be the ring of the future, considering the very little security conditions of these times. Not sure how practical will this concept be, but it looks very stylish, no doubt.

The KickBoxer motorcycle concept is Ian McElroy of Rogue Motorsports' baby. The KickBoxer is based around an aluminum frame, with a 2.5 litre, boxer 4-cylinder engine sourced from the Subaru WRX at its core. It seems that it's all well in place for production. The single-sided tubular aluminum swingarms are similar to those found on the Bimota Tesi 3D and the rear subframe is made using carbon fiber tubes, while the front subframe consists of two aluminum plates sandwiching a small steering head stock, and a narrow louvered stepped LCD gauge. The polished aluminum bodywork is hot. It's certainly an outstanding design.

Sci-fi freaks are sure to love this UFO inspired future concept car designed by John Bukasa. Named the ‘Saucer’, this car hopes to achieve the goal of driving without a steering wheel! Saucer is a self-driven vehicle concept that has a single bed arrangement within it. The driver can actually not bother to drive, and lie down and sleep while the vehicle does the job of taking him or her to the right destination. A great design, targeted at poor exhausted workaholics who find the task of driving back after a hard day’s work simply impossible. It will also help avoid several accidents as well. Saucer’s soundproof interior has the right program to for self-drive the vehicle. The vehicle has a luggage compartment in which you can store your bags and other items.

Ferrari spells class and style and this reflects in the new Ferrari Factory Store of Serravalle Scrivia, Italy, entirely designed by Iosa Ghini Associates.

I won't go into the technical details much, but at a glance, the architecture is breathtaking.

Yoann Henry Yvon sure had cleaning issues on his mind when he designed this coffee table. Apart from looking so cool, trendy and oh-so-modern, the main feature that attracted me to this table was how easily they could be stacked one on the other in a pile! This will definitely make the cleaning easier. Also, when you stack up the tables, the requirement for a chair ceases to exist as to me the stand look like the seat itself. Quite an interesting idea, I really liked it because of the unique shape and the colors. When stacked up they look even cooler with the array of colors. A very workable concept, I really hope this beoms a product in reality.

This looks like a tent and a caravan, but is actually a mobile holiday designed by Axel Enthoven. It has been inspired by the famous Sydney’s Opera House. The subtitle chosen is ‘Your Suite in Nature’ to suggest the best of hotel rooms, but in the heart of nature in this case. The Opera allows you to stay in the most beautiful places, but with the luxury of a wine cabinet, warm-air heating, espresso bar and an enclosed teak veranda. The canvas holiday home unfolds from a trailer and includes two beds, a toilet, hot and cold water, LED lighting and a mobile hob. This nomadic, contemporary living tent offers the quality of a luxury yacht combined with the outdoor feeling of camping under canvas. The Opera will be presented for the first time at the Design at Work trade fair in Kortrijk in December. This truly going to be your pride and neighbors envy!

In the present day scenario of constant space crunch and inconvenience, multi-functional furniture is surely like a boon. Marlon Darbeau’s ‘Verb’ made from teak and plywood is one such extremely attractive looking piece of furniture. It allows the user to manipulate the shape of the object to turn into a table, a lamp or a chair. ‘Verb’ seems like the perfect name for it since it does personify the exploration of movement through space and time. The colors yellow and magenta are just too attractive to ignore. I would love to have this in my home, not only does it look ultra cool but is so useful too!

Yes, you read that correct. Aki Hirota’s made this coffee mug with French press function. The French Express coffee mug is basically aimed at straining coffee without increasing the part of the equipment. The designer has alternated the mug with a chamber that strains coffee which moves from the outside shell, making a cup double walled, instead of just having a shaft and the mesh filter.

This Upside Down House designed by Klaudiusz Golos and Sebastion Mikuciuk for the Edutainment exhibition company is the most bizarre house I have ever seen. It's a crazy house that is standing on the roof. Everything is the opposite of how it should be. I'd feel like I'm in an alternate world when I'd walk into the house. The architecture is something so unique that I can keep staring at it. But how do you function in there? It's located on the northern German island of Usedom, so do take a look if you are in the area.

The prototype has been made from SLS 3D printing technique and measures 25 x 18 x 6 cm. It's focus is on straightforward motion and character. It looks quite interesting in motion and the six legs somehow remind me of a caterpillar. I'm quite impressed by the looks of the robot.
