World renown for its rich, hearty helpings of food, and freezing
winters, Central Europe is forging a new reputation for being one of
the world's most up and coming design hot spots. That's what happens
when something as heavy as an iron curtain is lifted and designers in
Central Europe are rightfully able to showcase their work to the rest
of the world. An example of it's recently unearthed talent is the
creative work of Tamas Gabor Nemeth who's focus on a hybrid utility
vehicle has earned him the 2004 Hungarian Design Award. The vehicle can
metamorphasise from a garbage truck to an ambulance through to a fire
engine. Nemeth worked closely with the conceptual design team at
Mercedes Benz to devise an environmentally friendly vehicle that can
park itself by remote control and whose trapezoid shape sees it turn on
a penny. This is just the tip of the collective talent iceberg that
Central Europe has to offer. by Billy T |
