Future Urbanities
The future urbanity is all around us. You'll probably see examples of future urbanities yourself every day. The trend is all about making the city a place where the inhabitants can do anything they want, whenever they want and where they want it. The people who lead this trend are called Urban Nomads. They travel around the city and make use of as much as possible to provide in their own advantage.
The Me-Mover is an example of the Urban Nomads who travel around the city with this. The founder, Jonas Eliasson, wants to combine fitness and work-outs with transport. The multifuntionality of object is very import in this trend, because when something becomes multifuntional, and people can use it for multiple reasons and purposes. The Nomads can make the object their own like the Me-Mover, because they use it to provide it for their own purpose. It's either a work-out of transportation.
The second coolhunt came from the designer Pauline van Dongen, who developed a dress which can charge your mobile device. Another example that eveything becomes multifuntional. Clothing that charges devices can be useful in businesslife and for ordinary days. It replaces a lot of cables and chargers in your household, and people can work everywhere outside. It opens an entire new world for flexworking people.
So what can we do in the future with our clothing of transportation methodes??
