O design talvez pode ser impraticavel em alguns casos, mas a ideia é colocar o conceito no mundo e ver como isso se desenvolve e cresce.

Lembre-se que esses designs são apenas conceitos ainda, então você não pode compra-los. Alguns podem estar futuramente sendo produzidos, outros não, particularmente, quando eles vem de algum empresa grande como Samsung, Nike e outras, podem ter uma chance maior de serem produzidos. Por outro lado, quem sabe quando isso vai estar disponivel no mercado?

Aqui temos 100 designs conceitos do futuro que desejamos ver logo.

The obvious benefit is in the early warning of approaching vehicles, but a less obvious advantage is reducing the necessary head rotation to check behind. By Billy May.

36. Time Tuner

There’s also an extension to the idea in that you take your plant out every time you drive, sorta like walking your dog. Designed by Slava Saakyan.

98. Have A Different Car Everyday

The MOY Concept car was made for a generation used to using media to express themselves. The idea is everyone can design their own car on their own computer and then apply the design to their vehicle wirelessly or share it with others thru a website or even email. For those lacking creative skill, there’s a slew of templates to choose from. The car is always connected so imagine dynamically changing your vehicle’s skin in motion. Designed by Elvis Tomljenovic.

99. Escape Into Your Cave

There are times that we wish we could have a little more privacy, retreating into our own space of quietness. Adults crave this just as much as children. With Cave, we are given the opportunity to embrace our escape. Created as a bookshelf with its own Cave inside, allowing the user to retreat with a good book, or just sit and relax in their space.
