Booster is a new smartphone concept which includes peripheral devices that enhance certain functions of the phone. These peripherals come with softwares that allow extensive and advanced use of each boosted function. Boosting peripherals are attached to the main device through a smart booster shell, which is custom designed for the phone and also gives led feedback and changing physical button interface for easy use of boosters. Peripherals are sold to customers through a platform store which handles booster hardware and software. Users can collect boosters depending on their taste and experience synergy different boosters provide, single or combined. Aesthetics were inspired from sports cars, a symbol of power and luxury.

Traveller’s watch is a watch for people who frequently move around internationally. On the watch there is one face with two circles of timelines. The inner timeline can be set for home or any standard location time; the outer timeline can be turned around to set to another location by matching the time difference. User can easily read the time of two locations to decide a time to communicate, or to set up an international meeting. By integrating this system, this watch functions like any high-end multi-face watches in a simple manner.

Foggy is a concept eyewear that takes fogging up of glasses in the winter as a fun effect, rather than something pesty. This concept takes fogging up to make beautiful patterns aroung the rims of a normally clear eyewear. This is done by coating fogging preventing materials only on parts we don’t want fogging up. When moving from a cold place to a warmer place, a pattern will appear as a surprise. This pattern can be shapes, messages, or even logo advertisements. This way, we took a normally bothersome thing to a new experience.
