Simple, effective, productive, and sleek are all words which perfectly explain this MacTab tablet design concept from Yann Le Coroller. The MacTab is an ultra-portable, and we mean VERY ultra-portable looking design which integrates a tablet display with a razor thin keyboard. When not in use the keyboard acts as protection for the display, pretty much like a notebook. The keyboard stays in... Continue reading

But even with its ill-conceived name, Timo is a pretty useful piece of gear, slamming together both a small desk and a T-surface table. Unlike most tables with their one appearance and use, Timo doubles the pleasure and allows for two separate designs and uses in one combo package. Just unfold the hidden... Continue reading
