Planck Creator SSD

Planck Creator SSD is a portable solid state drive made for mobile filmmakers. The drive records Apple ProRes and Log video at up to 4K and 120 frames per second directly from a phone. A recycled aluminium heatsink inside the slim enclosure manages heat and supports a sustained write speed of 500 to 550 megabytes per second. A perpendicular USB-C connector lets the drive sit flush with a phone case and keeps the back of the phone clear for gimbal clamps and magnetic accessories. The body measures 50.5 by 17 by 7.3 millimetres, weighs 10 grams and holds up to 2 terabytes.

ST5

ST5 is an electric scooter designed for urban commuting. The frame is made of automotive grade carbon steel, joined by precision sheet metal work and concealed connectors. A four stage suspension system, adapted from automotive damper arms, absorbs shocks on rough roads. Safety is supported by front and rear disc brakes, an electronic braking system, traction control and auto sensing headlights. A 3.5 inch display is integrated with the handlebars, and Bluetooth proximity sensing allows keyless unlocking. The black and gold finish reflects sports aesthetics.

Upcycled Echo

Upcycled Echo is a series of ceramic smart speakers made from discarded ceramic decals. In Jingdezhen, about 5 percent of ceramic decals are discarded each year. These reclaimed decals are cut, recombined and collaged onto durable porcelain shells, then fired with high precision to protect the surface. Integrated high-fidelity components provide balanced sound, and the speakers connect to smartphones for music playback and voice interaction. The design reduces industrial waste and links ceramic tradition with modern audio technology.

Co2ffe

The Co2ffe espresso machine is a semi-automatic domestic system that uses standard CO₂ canisters, such as SodaStream, to generate 9 bar brewing pressure required for espresso extraction. The replacement of a conventional vibratory pump reduces noise and vibration to a soft hiss. This alternative pressure system allows an open structural layout that avoids a closed, box like housing and makes the brewing process visible during use. The design integrates patented technology developed to produce crema in line with Italian espresso formula, 25 ml of water, 9 bar, and 7 grams of coffee.

Tenniix

Tenniix is an artificial intelligence tennis robot designed to act as a training partner. A dual vision system tracks the player position and the ball trajectory in real time. Tenniix moves autonomously to return shots and to create continuous rallies. Training pace and modes are selected by voice commands or through an application. Use is simple: the folding panel is opened, the balls are loaded, and practice begins. The robot measures 392 by 271 by 448 millimetres. The aim is to make advanced training accessible to players of all levels.

T70 Ultra Station

The T70 Ultra Station is a floor cleaner designed for home use. The Edge-Sensing System allows cleaning in spaces as low as 8 millimetres, with a side reach of 30 millimetres for edge to edge wet mopping. The Smart Capture Robotic Arm lifts to 17 millimetres to collect larger particles. The docking station holds 5.5 litres of water and refills the cleaner automatically. The slim frame measures 98.5 millimetres and is made of PET with in-mould decoration. Operation is quiet at 68 decibels, and drying is automatic.
