Macintosh Phone Concept

Macintosh Phone Concept, if iPhone was made in 1984.

Pierre Cerveau reimagined Apple’s flagship product in his neat “Macintosh Phone Concept” that takes inspiration from one of Apple’s other killer products — the Macintosh 512k.

The Macintosh Phone Concept is exactly as it sounds! This novel device explores how Apple’s flagship product might’ve looked and worked had it been released 20 years before the first iPhone. The concept revolves around a vintage-looking dial that can be used to scroll up/down the screen or used like a rotary phone.

Citroën retro concepts

Citroën cars have always been quirky and interesting to look at, never dull. What would these iconic cars look today?

Look at these Citroën retro concepts - old is new again.

Citroën is a major French automobile manufacturer earned a reputation for innovation and revolutionary engineering, which is reflected in the company's slogan "Creative Technologie". Some of the most legionary Citroen models are Citroën 2CV and Citroën DS.

Citroën 2CV

Economy car manufactured for over 40 years 1948-1990. Quirky looking and iconic French car. Often described as a “car like no other”.

Citroën 2CV

French designer David Portela released some new CG images of his proposal for the redesign of the iconic Citroën 2CV. Portela took clues from the original grill, floating headlights, and fenders and merged them with a more avant-garde silhouette.

Retro styled Renault 4

Retro Concepts, the New Renault 4 by designer David Obendorfer.

About the original car:

The Renault 4, also known as the 4L (pronounced "Quatrelle"), is a hatchback economy car produced by the French automaker Renault between 1961 and 1992. It was the first front-wheel drive family car produced by Renault.

Renault 4 was Renault's response to the 1948 Citroën 2CV. Renault was able to review the advantages and disadvantages of the 2CV design and come up with a larger, more urban vehicle.

Concept:

The result is a combination of modern lines and the classic’s features, coming together in such a way that none of the original’s smallness and cuteness is lost. It shows us how a car can be both simple in design, practical and incredibly charismatic. Something modern cars do not exhibit often anymore.

Retro styled Renault 4

It’s a modern design with retro-styling cues, perhaps designed to be built on an existing architecture. And like most new cars today, the Revival has been designed with alternative power plants – such as hybrid and all-electric ones – in mind.

BMW CS Vintage Concept

Project by car designer David Obendorfer.

This project is a modern interpretation of the 1968 BMW E9 series designed by Giovanni Michelotti. In fact, it focuses on two models: Michelotti’s E9 and its predecessor, the 1965 BMW 2000 CS (E120 series).

1968 BMW E9

BMW CS Vintage Concept by David Obendorfer

Back then the 2000 CS used to be fairly successful thanks to its sleek line, brilliant performance and good build quality, so BMW decided to upgrade the model by setting up a new generation of straight-six engines, redesigning the interior, and the only part of the coupé that had raised concerns: the front. The new front end, by Giovanni Michelotti, gave considerable impetus to the whole car body. The designer from Turin eliminated the large rectangular headlights in favour of an arrow-shaped front with a large matte black mask and four round headlights.

BMW CS Vintage Concept by David Obendorfer

The operation is very similar to the mid-generational refresh applied today by all car manufacturers to keep the product competitive and attractive to customers without making expensive technical amendments. Yet the transition between the E120 and E9 was particularly important for BMW because the new front gave the car a strong stylistic identity with a recognizable personality. The design with the four round headlights has proved to be a winning style pattern that BMW has been carrying on for over 35 years evolving and proposing it on all its models.

BMW CS Vintage Concept by David Obendorfer

The BMW CS Vintage Concept is based on the 6 series platform (in production since 2011). The style, despite numerous citations from the past, is substantially contemporaneous with updated proportions and with modern details, many of which are inspired by nautical styling solutions.

Cool Vespa digital camera concept

What would Vespa digital camera look like?

Trying to answer that question are two product designers from Chicago – Rotimi Solola and Cait Miklasz.

They incorporated the design, colors, and sleekness of Vespa scooters into a concept digital camera. A very sophisticated looking camera, to say the least.

Vespa digital camera concept

The translation of one typology to another is excelent.

The body of the camera is curved to make it easy to hold with its sleek and minimalist good looks.

Same colour scheme used in the style of a typical Vespa, the camera is a beautiful teal gray. The lens is positioned such that it resembles the headlights on a Vespa scooter. And the camera also has trademark Vespa text.

What is Steampunk?

Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that typically features steam-powered machinery, especially in a setting inspired by industrialized Western civilization during the 19th century. Steampunk works are often set in an alternative history of the 19th century's British Victorian era or American "Wild West", in a post-apocalyptic future during which steam power has regained mainstream use, or in a fantasy world that similarly employs steam power. Steampunk perhaps most recognizably features anachronistic technologies or retro-futuristic inventions as people in the 19th century might have envisioned them, and is likewise rooted in the era's perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, and art. Such technology may include fictional machines
