Black’s ‘The Overview Effect’ is designed to
increase public understanding by allowing
users to remotely operate unmanned rovers
on other worlds using VR. He believes design
can engage at every level. ‘In the future, the
overall product experience will be the target,’
he says. Would most like to work with:
Volvo, Citroën. [email protected]Inspired by the form of diamonds, Oh’s
‘House Dock’ is a transportation module
that looks ‘like a luxury piece of jewellery
in its case – it extends your space, part
of a new culture of automobiles that will
eventually eliminate the traditional
definitions’. Would most like to work with:
Rolls-Royce. [email protected]Chen’s sci-fiesque sky yacht, based on a four-
person drone, is a utopian vision of dirigible
transport. Inspired by Lexus’ high-tech luxury
and the original Zeppelin, this is ‘mobility
designed to be slow – private space and time
could become the most important luxury
goods’. Would most like to work with:
Marc Newson, BMW. [email protected]
