torq_1

Completely 3D printed from steel, the matte black Torq cracks walnuts with ease. Just place them in the concavity marked by the design detail and twist the key down.

infraredcam_layout

iphone_notch_1

I hate the notch. I see it as a necessity, and I acknowledge its presence (with red-hot hatred), and I’m sure you do too, but I promise you from this moment onward, you’ll look at it differently. Very differently. Not a single radius was a true radius, and the notch you look at was in fact, an inverted trapezoid.

honey_strip_1

The Honey Strip lets you plug individual points into one another to create an extension board.

eagle_scooter_02

This scooter with oversized front tire and itty bitty back tire deliver a cool, contrasting aesthetic but they’re also functional as the compact back tire fits into the frame when folded.

apple_glasses_1

The Apple Glasses are a conceptual pair of AR glasses that marry AR technology (an area Apple is a pioneer in now) along with product design that’s truly representative of what Apple stands for.

The Volt takes portable charging to the next level. In fact, I can’t recall ever seeing a mobile car charger let alone one that flies.
