Featuring no axle, no screw, no spring or visible hinge, OneShot, designed by Patrick Jouin is a special chair.

Based on the power of gravity, a bunch of surfaces unfold to become a seat. The magic lies in the science of Selective Laser Sintering which allows the fabrication in just one shot of the seating surface.

Just put your fingers in it and when lift up, automatically folds to be taken everywhere with you.

If you are worried that your new car is not safe parked outside you can always park it in your balcony.

How? Drive your car into a large lift which takes it up to your apartament balcony.

A glass wall will separate your high garage from your flat while friends and family will still have the possibility to appreciate your loved car.

CarLoft, the german company who came up this innovative way of parking will put it in practice in the near future in European cities like Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, and others.

The dimensions are 16 feet tall and 18 feet in diameter.
