Unbeknownst to most, BMW Designworks have been around for quite a while now – 22 years to be exact, since BMW acquisition in 1995. For those who don’t already know, the creative consultancy has been involved in a lot of design and consultancy works across various industries. The more recent works include conceiving, in collaboration with Selle Royal, an advanced e-bike saddle and a “backhoe” of the future, designed with John Deere. Yes. Even a backhoe!

This Innovative Laptop Case Can Transform Into A Privacy Workstation
If you use a privacy screen on your laptop, then it is safe to assume you are a person who works in the public a lot and if that’s the case, there is a new gadget accessory in town which you really check it out. Called Alcove, it is the world’s first hybrid laptop case slashed mobile workstation. How so? Alcove works to keep your laptop cosy and protected while on the go, but when you need to work on the laptop, it opens (almost in an origami fashion) to a mobile workstation, complete with privacy side panels. And mind you, those panels aren’t there just anyhow. Continue reading This Innovative Laptop Case Can Transform Into A Privacy Workstation
Singapore’s Local Coffee To-Go Carrier Is Now An Actual Bag. Quirky!
A Singapore lifestyle product brand seems to have taken a page off today’s design trend of taking design inspirations from everyday objects. The label, called Wheniwasfour, has turned a local icon into a bag and the result is way more LOL. But it is only as quirky only if you understand the local culture in Singapore. You see, over in Singapore, when you take away local style coffee (which is brewed from the good’ol coffee socks, btw), you’d get it in a transparent plastic bag with somewhat elastic (if you stretch hard enough) strings for carrying. Drop a straw in it and you all set. That’s a stark contrast to most western countries where paper cups are the receptacle of choice.

iPhone SE Reimagined With iPhone X Features And The Result Is Brilliant!
The iPhones from 6 onward had a design which is time-tested. Since the 6, the same design cues can seen in later models of iPhone and even in other makes of handsets, but the 5? Well, that, my friends, was another brilliant design which Apple have kept for a little longer than it should have, now under the SE model. Having said that, it is only logical for someone to wonder ‘can the SE be more? Like, ‘what if the SE gets the iPhone X treatments?’ As some people like yours truly here are fantasying about the possibilities, German tech website CURVED/labs actually get down and ‘design’ an iPhone SE based on their own set of fantasies which they christen, iPhone SE+.

Huawei Maimang 6 Android Phone Has As Many As Four Cameras
When it comes to mobile imaging, Huawei spares no expense in making it the best, even the device in question is not a flagship handset. Case-in-point, the new Huawei Maimang 6. While clockwork is only of a Kirin 659 SoC (with octacore processor, however), it does has not two, not three, but four cameras. We are talking about a dual camera setup around the back and a dual camera setup at the front. That’s something you don’t see often on flagship handsets, much less on non-flagship variety. Also on the front is the now-trendy edgeless display that stretches 5.9-inch across diagonally, packing 2,160 x 1,080 pixel resolution in also now-popular 18:9 aspect ratio.

AirPods Charging iPhone Battery Case Is As Clever As It Is Weird. It Really Is
If I were to classify Apple ugly-ass AirPods as ‘weird stuff’, then I suppose the PodCase, a hybrid battery case for iPhone and AirPods, would be weirdly awesome. I guess? My stance on the AirPods never change and it never will, but the idea of fusing the battery needs for two devices into one gadget is pretty damn clever. Just the idea ONLY. I stress. Anyways, your iPhone with never-good-enough-battery-life needs the juice and so does your AirPods, and instead of bringing a portable battery and the AirPods charging case, PodCase is both and as a boon, it keeps your lovely device protected and offers a safe haven for your easily misplaced AirPods.
