MOTUS
means "movement" and is a manual wheelchair, designed for the 21st century.

The wheelchair shouldn't be an object of compassion but a transportation tool for a full-human-being. Beside the ergonomic and technical skills of Motus, it was the task of the design to convey these values.
A wheelchair user wants to do as much as possible with his own body. But at the same time it damages his body. For this reason Motus is an electric assisted Wheelchair: Sensors transmit the driving motion of the user and a wheel hub engine increases it - depending on the users preference. Through the battery of the engine, it was also possible to give Motus more electric functions, like the lights, the one-hand-driving, the electric brake and the transfer. Instead of an annoying App, all functions can be executed with the control element on the wheelchair.
Motus is also focused on the transfer of the user. This process causes also high body damages. Through the transfer function the user gets moved out of the problem zone and can easily switch from wheelchair to what ever.

ALPHA 5E
Cities are full of traffic and sometimes driving car is just not fun at all. But what, if there's a car, specifically designed for the urban space?
Watch the full animation here!
Alpha 5e is a Sans Permis, which means you can drive it without a license because it only accelerates up to city speed limit. People in the city don't need big, fast cars. They need something small but comfortable and spacious from inside. The car has an electric wheelhub engine in every wheel, instead of the normal engine. Therefore more space is available for the driver and his baggage. The car also has smart functions and is designed for the future city-living. The future has started!

The candleholder was created by one thought: How do we perceive time? As annual rings of a tree demonstrate the passage of time, so does candle wax.
1. Hang a wick on the top and put a candle on it
2. Let time and special moments pass by
3. Review your memories by lighting the time-created candle.
