Whatever you do, don’t think of the Hindenburg. The Strato Cruiser is a state of the art concept, coined as a “lifestyle zeppelin”. The luxury helium-filled airship would contain a gourmet restaurant, a staff DJ, a swimming pool, and enough coolness to make for a very entertaining night. The Strato Cruiser would allow riders to view the earth as they’ve ...

Designed by Tom Howard, these EarFlux headphones are really a cool little gadget, though only a concept so far. The EarFlux phones are completely wireless and touch-controlled, as well as ultra-portable. The audio is controlled right from the outer frame of the headphones by sliding your finger around the wheel ala the iPod. When you’re done listening, the phones snap ...

Honda showed off one of their newest concepts at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. The Honda PUYO not only has a very blocky and interesting design, but what makes up the car is even more intriguing. The frame is made up of a gel-like soft body which is said to increase the safeness of the car. The PUYO, powered by ...

Actually, it’s not so much a ‘fire truck” as it is a “fire Porsche Cayenne S”—and it was spotted on the streets of Moscow. I suppose it could be used as a quick response vehicle, but my guess is that the FD picked it up so they would look cooler than the cops. More pictures after the jump.

While not much is actually known about this concept remote from Hitachi other than it features an “intuitive user interface,” the style plainly smacks of iPod minimalism. More pictures are available after the break, including a larger version of the remote that features the same simple trackball design. Both devices recently made their debut at CEATEC 2007, but no word ...

Moaning Lisa is a conceptual interactive game which not only looks like a real blast, but also teaches you knowledge on how to crack the code to the cryptic female orgasm. Lisa comes with a set of 7 touch sensors marked with stars to help you become better equipped to please the female form. Much like a real woman, if ...

If I had this many blank CDs, I wouldn’t know what to do with them either. The Panda Chair is made from a simple base, and assembled with hundreds of blank CDs. Of course, if you want to make one yourself it’s up to you if they’re blank or just a bunch of Avril Lavigne albums. It looks really cool. ...

It’s called the Suzuki Biplane (although it looks a hell of a lot more like a jet) and it’s powered by at V4 engine–that much we know. But other than that, information is scarce regarding this cool looking concept cycle. Still, I would imagine that the look is the really important thing here. And let me tell you, if I’m ...

The Naaitafel holds a few distinctions among other conceptual art pieces. First off, it probably has the most awkwardly pronounced and worst named idea we’ve come across. Second off, it is a vintage mash-up of two old products, that produces something that should have been done a long time ago. A sewing machine and a record player have very similar ...

Don’t get me wrong, I love a remote that has convenient features, but I also like a remote that’s compact. Unfortunately, the Pultius Remote from Art Lebedev falls a little short in that category. The remote features 99 individual channel buttons and three additional buttons for adding 100, 200, or 300 to the original number. All in all, the user ...
