Tasow Parallel Universe

Tasow Parallel Universe is an electric bicycle designed for urban riding. The frame is made of carbon fiber and shaped as a parallelogram to balance weight distribution. The battery, controller and cables are concealed inside the frame cavity. An adaptive assist system uses several sensors to adjust motor power to rider posture, pedaling force, cadence and road conditions. A planning system creates routes from spoken requests. Front and rear cameras record short videos, monitor side and rear blind spots, and trigger sound and light alerts.

Eb001

EB001 is a shared electric bicycle designed for short urban trips. The frame is made of recyclable 6061 aluminium alloy and forms an arched shape with a low standover height and a wide step through structure, so riders of different heights can mount and dismount easily. A side pull battery mechanism allows the battery to be drawn out horizontally with one hand. A modular design lets core components be replaced separately, which shortens maintenance time. Positioning, geofencing and connected technology support organized parking and efficient fleet dispatching.

Tide Rove

Tide Rove is a mattress designed for healthy and sustainable sleep. The layers are joined by glue free physical fastening, without chemical adhesives, so the mattress can be used immediately after unboxing. The surface fabric is woven from traceable recycled ocean fibers, which are breathable and resistant to abrasion. Natural camel hair adds moisture wicking and thermal insulation, and soy based elastic foam gives support. The detachable design allows parts to be replaced, which extends the lifespan. The mattress measures 1800 by 2000 by 350 millimeters.

Bellariva

Gillet Bellariva is a supercar designed for daily use and for long journeys. The exterior recalls the sports cars of the 1950s and 1960s and the lines of luxury speedboats and yachts. The chassis and the body are hand built in carbon fibre for a light structure and a weight of 1200 kg. A wooden rear deck recalls the deck of a yacht and hides a 30 litre safe, while the cargo space holds 400 litres. The dashboard is made of mahogany with a sliding panel. The wooden base of the headlights adds a nautical detail. Butterfly doors and a front lift suspension complete the design.
