Somebody like me who spends most of the time sitting upright before the workstation definitely deserve something as comfortable and ergonomically designed workstation as the Surf Chair workstation that gives me the perfect posture to work keeping my back in the right shape.

Designed by Kenneth Lylover, the Surf Chair has everything that a geek can only dream of to have a pain free Internet surfing. Conjured particularly keepingin mind the ‘Internet Collection’ of the Scandinavian Furniture Fair the Surf Chair features pillows fixed at various points in the seat and back to ensure a comfy surfing, while the screen is suspended at precisely the right angle in accordance to your back and neck.

The only drawback that I could find was that due to the unavailability of space, the keyboard is supposed to be kept on the lap by the user. No wonders it managed to beg the ‘Best Product’ award in the fair and is worthy enough to be tagged as a luxury gadget for a luxury loving geek.

This is again a concept which once materialize will turn all your walls into speakers bloating out your favourite music.

If you vouch for wearability, sleekness and innovation in the motor cycle that you ride, then the Yamaha Deus Ex Machina is sure to catch your fancy. Designed by Jake Loniak, this one scores high on wearability quotient since the driver is required to be worn bythe driver. Yamaha Deus Ex Machina is an an electric, single passenger, vertically parking, wearable motorcycle, that is controlled via 36 pneumatic muscles and 2 linear actuators.
If that was enough to let your curiosity buds go on a tizzy, the let me tease them further with the news that the mean machine is good enough to hit 0-60 MPH in three seconds and 60-0 in the side of a bus. I wish the concept all the best as I don’t think the so called wearable bike will score high on comfort levels and any body would like to be spotted on road looking like a wasp scrolling the streets in that ugly looking auto attire.
