CINETIKUM
Automatic Watch
This timepiece concept was designed to meet two requirements; the first was of the mixing rough finish materials (main body) with high quality finish materials, to blend the pass with future time. The second requirement : the vertical and horizontal bars, this feature represents the cage, and how time arrest us on is perpetual movement, making us prisoners from the day we born to our death.

MYBUS -
DRIVE SAFE 2007 Michelin Outstanding Design Award WINNER
MYBUS is a vehicle intended to be safer not only for passengers but for pedestrians as well. Comfort, passenger protection and safe interaction with other vehicles are delivered by new proactive safety technologies. Electronic stability programs, smart cruise control, brake by wire, rear detection systems, smart wing mirrors, and Michelin “Twell” tires are the newest technologies that can improve safety and comfort for the driver and the passengers.
The use of an electrical power source was also a main concern to be taken into consideration since it reduces significantly the environmental impact and the danger of an explosion in case of accident. Not being a hybrid vehicle, power is yielded by electric cells placed above the rear wheels, away from the most obvious impact zones. In order to improve safety, each wheel has its own independent engine, so that the on-board computer can determine the ideal power to apply them. This engine works according to the road conditions, the type of driving and helps anticipate and react to an imminent accident situation. All these features are aimed only at making MYBUS the ideal vehicle for those who consider safety a top priority, not renouncing style, design and comfort.
BOOM HEADPHONES
CONCEPT2
This concept was one of many headphone studies we carry out with one single concern; make it simple, functional and dynamic. The diagonal folding system allowed the headphones to be slimmer when folded. Along the design process, the big issue was to make the overall shape as simple as possible, and at the same time keepthe cool factor. The simple and elementary forms gave us a sense of simplicity as we desired.
VFV-Very Fun Vehicle
Cheerful, safe, economic and environmental friendly, surely the VFV will not let you indifferent…Although small, the VFV combines an attractive design with wide glass surfaces, being therefore extremely less claustrophobic, joyful and sportive. Its safety comes mainly from a massive deformation tubular skeleton, controlled in key-points (crumplezones), by a light yet effective armour against side crashes at the side windows level and by an electric motor that makes it safer in cases of collision, since it diminishes the risk of explosion. The VFV also includes parking sensors, airbags, seat-belts equipped with pretensioners and webclamps, drive by wire, traction control systems and Electronic Stability Control (ESC), presenting you with an excellent solution for everyone who cares about the car-city interaction.
OMNI - Audiophile omni
speakers concept.
With OMNI sound speakers, be always inside the sound stage, you can move around your living room, but the sound will be there for you. Heavy constructed for less structure vibrations and superior sound quality, OMNI sound speakers, incorporates in the same system a woofer, a mid-range speaker and tweeter on the top. All the last three components are shielded from each other by using a ceramic plate.
EQUINOX - WATCH concept
The Equinox represents the exact time when the Sun is positioned directly over the Earth's equator. The two low relief semi spherical displays represents the Sun (hours) and the earth (minutes). Equinox also represents the classic and the modern aesthetics put together.
NTW Lisbon - Mechanical Watch CONCEPT
Movement: ETA Mecaline 6498-1 / Hours, minutes & small second.
Case: 42 mm - 18k rose gold / Steel.
Crystal: Sapphire + anti-reflective coating (AR coating).
Strap: Black snakeskin.
Water Resistant: 5 ATM.
NERVE - FUTURE NEURAL WORKSTATION CONCEPT
NERVE is a small "live" workstation. Using a thin artificially engineered neural living tissue it's possible to achieve the computing power of several High-End workstations without overheating issues, with unlimited computing power, and learning capabilities to overcome new tasks and ultra-low-power consumption.
With NERVE you can forget RAM, SSD, HD, CPU, graphic cards, and all possible hardware conflicts, no hardware upgrades are needed. NERVE OS will run any software, adaptability is native to NERVE OS.
The NERVE neural tissue is floating on a protective gel inside a strong acrylic block. Temperatures on NERVE neural tissue is always at 35°C, NERVE will control all variables. If needed will consume more GlucO2 (oxygen-rich glucose and fat solution - blue cartridge) to increase the temperature to optimal levels.
GlucO2 consumption will be affected by the computing complexity. A small battery will keep NERVE working and kicking for several hours, since is a live machine, we strongly recommend using a small UPS.
A small red cartridge will collect all residues from the neural tissue - the residues are safe and nontoxic.
Data exchange will be possible by using four small optic-fiber cables that connect the neural tissue to a small PCB.

SLIDESPEAKER CONCEPT
.
Pendulum woks as an ordinary pendulum wall clock, with a perpetual movement provided by the magnetic mechanism. Since no double weight-driven movement is needed, the clock is lighter and easy to install.The Pendulum clock is provided with led lights on the pendulum and on the clock hands; this feature adds an extra dimension to this clock by using the wall as a functional piece.
