Audi-O…get it?

Audi meets audio…who doesn’t love a good pun? Especially when it is as good looking as this iPod inspired Audi designed by Ondrej Jirec, a design student from the Czech Republic. His concept Audi design takes the great American past time of making your vehicle into one giant rolling boombox to new heights. This bad boy features the mother of all audio systems with internet connectivity for downloading music onto the built-in 650 GB hard drive, a Bluetooth system for connecting two or more Audi O cars together, making for the largest rolling club ever. Best yet, it comes completely decked out with a couple of DJ decks and mixer. Look for this master blaster in the next installment of The Fast and the Furious Deaf Jam.

The phone itself hangs from two arms vertically or flat on a surface making it easy to grab as soon as that call comes in. Sure, the concept isn’t exactly cutting edge in terms of tech but sometimes going back to the basics is a good thing.

Rosendahl’s Watch III by Flemming Bo Hansen

When you cut away all the frills, it is hard to imagine how any watch could fail to resemble Rosendahl’s Watch III, designed by Flemming Bo Hansen. The watch case, clock face and strap form a complete entity. No digressions; no convolutions. A complete unit, almost like a deep black stroke of genius on your wrist, with only one function: to tell you the time. And, perhaps, to look good, too…
