6:07 AM Monster No comments

On even the most tastefully appointed of houses, garage doors tend to be drab and monochrome eyesores, designed apparently without even the smallest nod to aesthetics. A German company aims to change all that, however, with large-scale posters that transform the doors through highly realistic 3D images. Photo tarpaulins are available with a variety of motifs and images that are sure to cause neighbours, friends and passers-by to stop and stare. A photographic version of trompe l’oeil, some are designed to give the impression that unusual contents can be found in the garage, such as an airplane, race car or monster-sized kitty. Others aim to...

Kumho Fortis Concept

11:56 PM Monster No comments

Kumho, the well-known Korean tire manufacturer, is wondering along with the rest of the world if an electric SUV is upon us. It’s no wonder that the tire giant took the initiative and created this Kumho Fortis Concept, their vision for an eco-friendly SUV. How green exactly? For starters, the body panels of this concept will be molded from recycled rubber. Kumho made the coolest feature of this SUV lie on the tires, of course. The tires deflate when traveling off-road, a series of metal lugs exposed for ultimate traction and inflate when you hit the road. Nice. No word yet if Kumho will pursue the concept. Why not? Looks like a neat idea. ...
