The mobile concept comes outfitted with a large tank along with a smaller one called the clean tank. The functionality of the concept details from haulage, filtration and storage of water for use in the developing era. While peddling, the pump connected to the knob will pull water from the large water tank (passing through the filter) and lastly to the clean tank.

Designed and developed by Zoran Milivojevic, an artist and machinist, the chair sports working mechanical hydraulics used for regulating chair’s location and ergonomics.

Featured after the jump (video running above) is a Surface Sphere prototype, a colossal ball that is accessible via company’s Surface technology but applicable this time on a globular interface and display. Comparatively advanced technology and hardware is required to run the Sphere as idea is to warp the pictures along with the interface so that it offers quality visibility when projected onto a dome.
