Designed for Lamborghini, the “Conquisto” by Belgian designer David Cardoso is a SUV concept which gives more an appearance of a stealth fighter than a vehicle. Presenting a not-so-elegant design, the mid-engine supercar places the engine at the rear, raising the brows of auto nerds. The crossover SUV accommodates four passengers, not too sure if in utmost comfort, accessing the vehicle through two doors. Moving the engine from front to rear also coasts all essential trunk space.

The Plexiglass from Leeuw & Vormgeving is an energy-efficient lamp that hides its light source, i.e. the bulb, to spread the light via transparent plexiglass rods. The plexiglass tubes when lit up become invisible to set the mood within the place. The plexiglass bounces the light back through its clear portion, while the matte part breaks out the light, glowing the lusterless tips of the rods to create a semi-sphere when it gets dark.

If you’re one of those who need to show everything you were up to during the holidays at 1080p, then MSI is the company to look forward to. The company has unveiled a unique Projector PC that just needs a keyboard and a mouse to start beaming high-resolution imagery onto anything.
On the connectivity front, this unique PC features an HDMI out, 4x USB, 3.5mm headphone jack, mic-in and a DVD slot as well. Under its hood is an NVIDIA ION graphics chip coupled with an Intel Atom processor, enabling it to project 1080p onto a 60-inch diagonal projection. The contrast ratio is just 1000:1 and the lamp brightness is 100 lumens. The product is just a concept for now, and we hope those last numbers do improve before we start beaming Word files onto a wall.
