Transformable Transportation

Design concepts go overboard with dual features

Implications - In reaction to the wallet-tightening of the economic downturn, post-recession, consumers and creators alike are going all out to show off extravagant designs. With so much choice in the consumer market, over-the-top transportation features are what get the most attention, especially those that allow transformations from car to yacht to pool and beyond.
Trend Themes
