  • Turbine Lamp
    The Turbine Lamp uses the advantages made possible by LED-technology.
    As most lamps are bulbs that are covered with some kind of shade, the Turbine is turned inside-out.
    The light source is placed in periphery of the lamp and pointed inwards. The name Turbine emphasizes the concept of the lamp, as the light is sucked in towards the centre, for then to be spread out into the room.

  • Gamma Concept
    The Gamma Concept is focused on modern materials and the new possibilities given by these, and the car features an extensive use of modern materials such as Polycarbonate and composites. Not only is the emphasis on designing a lighter and more fuel-efficient car, but also to draw an example of how new materials can be applied and make basis for the development of a new visual language.
    The visual language features large transparent areas to show the underlying structure and engine parts; to remind how the car works and present a more honest (transparent) design, than contemporary car design.
    All body panels are made from polycarbonate, to keep manufacturing costs at a minimum the panels are shaped using thermoforming, and then glued onto the Carbon-Kevlar reinforced Aluminium chassis.

  • Phoenix
    Inspired by both the American Muscle cars
    and the Americans favourite vehicle; The Pick-up
    Truck, the PHOENIX is a 2-seater car, that is both
    agile and tough. A mid-ship engine placed right
    behind the cabin and four-wheel-drive provides
    balance, grip and a low centre of gravity. The strong stance is complemented by the relaxed character
    of the car's main use.
