Laptop Bag Transforms into Desk and Chair

Cool idea and nice design:

Laptop Bag Transforms into Desk and Chair

If there is ever an Autobot which transforms from laptop case into desk and chair, then it will look like the Openaire, Nick and Beau Trincia’s rather handsome concept design.

The semi-rigid case is made from hinging pieces of wood and fabric, and consists of several layers which fit inside each other. The outermost skin is removed and hinged open to make a chair. It’s legless, more like a floor-sitting tatami chair than a desk chair, but it keeps you sitting comfortably upright, even on the cold, hard ground.

Only later would it become clear that we had sparked some of the first tangible signs of nationwide outrage at the spending cuts.




This summer, the new government let Vodafone off nearly all of an outstanding tax bill of £6bn. The original Private Eye exposé on the decision reports that one senior figure at the HMRC called it "an unbelievable cave in". As George Osborne cheerfully sets about slashing welfare and public services for the very poorest, the Vodafone case gives lie to his claim that "we are all in this together".
