Puma X-Cat DISC Concept Shoes

Puma X-Cat DISC Concept Shoes

BMW GINA’s material is lightweight, flexible, and ergonomic. Combined with PUMA’s operable DISC technology, it creates X-Cat DISC shoes with a system where the disc pulls internal wires to close and open the shoe, no more shoe laces. The stretchable GINA material would wrap around your foot like a second skin. X-Cat DISC shoes are about lightweight, adaptability, and performance, it is infused with the spirit of GINA where your foot becomes the chassis of the shoe itself.

Surreal Paintings by Roland Mikhail

Roland Mikhail is an NYC-based artist, who uses an airbrush to create his magnificent paintings.

Art is a way to imagine and reimagine being human; a way to keep dreaming once we’ve woken. I think that’s what all the great art of the world has done …to open the possibilities of our lives and the way we see the world…. I’d like to inspire the feeling of beauty, but more than that I’d like to make things that speak to the part of us we don’t know is looking; images that deepen overtime as you discover things that weren’t obvious at first.

Futuristic Centurion Desert Transporter by Navneeth Kannan

Centurion Desert Transporter is a futuristic, sci-fi vehicle dedicated to explore desert area in a planet called Gemelli. Read the background story from the designer below.

On the planet of Gemelli, a massive spaceship is broken up into three pieces, one lands in a deserted region and the pieces from the desert need to be taken to the central habitable belt of Gemelli. A range of constructors are called upon to make this logistically possible, among them are Centurion.

Centurion is a proposed 175m long heavy lift high-speed crane designed to carry high value cargo through dusty hot conditions, with space for a reasonably sized crew. Centurion loads its cargo from the underside with sliding doors that also act as the carrying base for the cargo.
