He has created two concept designs that swap gasoline fueled vehicles with human power as the force that propels movable living structures. His Camper Kart examines habitats and housing; recycling and ecology; exploration and mobility by fusing a pop-up camper with a shopping cart. And the Camper Bike, which is actually a functioning sculptural piece, continues this idea by taking an in-bed truck trailer and putting it on top of a serious looking 3 wheeled bicycle.Read more...]]> http://www.psfk.com/2009/07/psfk-review-new-york-capsule-show.html Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:45:40 +0000 While we were unable to catch them in Paris, this week’s New York (Capsule) show proved that good things do come to those who wait.

But as people’s media habits become more diverse, more sophisticated and more “real time,” they expect a brand to be a lot more than just an occasional commercial break. And they are forming their opinions ofRead more...]]> http://www.psfk.com/2009/01/christian-susanas-modular-camper.html Tue, 27 Jan 2009 15:36:17 +0000 We like Christian Susana’s stylish re-imagination of the camper as a modular combination of living /traveling components. Instead of the traditional one piece caravan, Susana’s design features a car that can detach from the living quarters, allowing for jaunts away from the campsite without towing the whole thing along for the ride. Besides the flexibility of living anywhere you can park, the interior space is made up of multi-functioning areas that further expand your options. Susana explains: “The Colim concept – an acronym meaning ‘colors of life in motion’ – is an intelligent mobility concept which stretches primarily the bridgeRead more...]]>
