Frontier Technology is manufacturing awesome PC towers such as this and plenty more, with a full gallery on their website. The reason why I felt this was blog worthy was definitely because their design is far beyond the limit of most cases which have lost the plot totally. They can manage design an extreme looking case and still keep it classy, personally, I hate the whole transparent windows, and bright glowing cables vibe…makes me feel like a 16 year old Counter-Strike LAN addict.

This design in particular is called Hummer and there are some other interesting ones, like the Formers case which is a take on transformers. Personally my favorite is the Shinobi model.

This car is an exercise in design for the Cadillac brand, meant to exhibit sustainability, and social influence. WTF is not actually what you think it is this time, it actually stands for World Thorium Fuel. Its a Conceptual design by Industrial Designer Loren Kulesus, check out his page on Coroflot. Its basically a car built to last another 100 years on the same fuel source. The fuel source in question is Thorium, I’ve never heard of it personally, so I’ve provided a wikipedia link if you’re interested. Coroflot is an awesome website to promote designers of all types, so I will definitly do a nice feature soon. Maybe i’ll even set up a profile! What do you think of the design?

I don’t need to tell you how awesome this really is, fruit juice boxes that are designed according to what fruit flavour it contains! This instantly goes under the category of innovative branding.  Designed by Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa, the packaging is much more appealing to the eye by imitating the actual fruit that the drinks flavour contains. Above we can see banana, strawberry, and kiwi fruit flavours. His designs have won more than 40 awards in the U.S and Europe.He says; “I imagined that if the surface of the package imitated the colour and texture of the fruit skin, then the object would reproduce the feeling of the real skin.”

Wow, I’m impressed. I wish we saw more branding like this, well, not with meat of course. That would be seriously weird. Hit the jump for more designs from this project and an interview with the dude.

I no that to most people traffic lights mean one of three things, green light go, red light stop and amber means foot-down. But man, with these monsters on the loose, you better change your game because there’s no outrunning one of these even in your suopped up GTi BRU. No excuses. The Carbon Motors Corporation designed these to address safety and performance issues neglected due to the current practice of retrofitting Crown Victorias/Impalas.

Of course however, this is only in the USA. (Phew!) So you can carry on shooting those red lights when nobody’s around. Knowing SA, we didn’t buy any because there were probably no cup holders installed. Either that, or our hijackers are already 10 steps ahead, making use of this technique. There’s a list of features and a video. Worth a look.

The BMW M1 first saw production from 1978 to 1981, it was conceptualized and designed by Giorgetto Giugiar, who also designed the timeless VW Golf 1, the futurisitc DeLorean DMC-12 which was featured in the Back to The Future trilogy, the Lotus Esprit S1 and tons more. Only 456 M1’s were made, instantly making this a sought after limited edition must-have. Sadly, the new model is only a concept, designed by Paul Bracq. Have a look at the transformation below.
