The Apple Mac Bench, Made For Old Macs

If you are an Apple fan and want something a little different for your furniture, then you may want to have a look at this bench created by Klaus Geiger, the Apple Mac Bench.
As you can see from the photos, Klaus uses two Apple power Mac G5s for the legs of his bench, and he also created some other modular furniture using casings from Apple Macs.

 A seat and table furniture concept based on the aluminium housing of the PowerMac G5 computer from Apple. The computers were produced over a period of almost 10 years in the outwardly identical form: a milestone in the development of the design.

Because they are simply too good to be disposed of, we have developed this “upcycling” project and develop…
The idea for the bench gave the initial impetus. A seat from a solid wood Board refers to the radius of the “Temple” of the housing and integrates so seamlessly into the overall shape.

KRGT-1 Bike

 have this week unveiled their new range of motorbikes in the form of the new KRGT-1 Bike which is powered by a 124 cubic inch v-twin engine or 2,032cc in metric.

The KRGT-1has been developed with industry veterans S&S Cycle and Baker Drivetrain and combines both classic design using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques.

“Traditional V-twin side-mounted intakes lay in the way of the rider’s leg, disrupting ergonomics and balance. Working in conjunction with S&S Cycle we developed the Arch Down Draft Induction System, positioning it between the billet aluminum fuel cells. Making the KRGT-1 sleek, comfortable and agile.

 Shaped and efficient intake dams collect and deliver air to the torquey 124” S&S V-twin keeping it fully aspirated. Multi-function design allows the dams to support and frame the KRGT-1’s billet aluminum headlight housing.

 Each KRGT-1 gas tank is machined from 534 pounds of billet aluminum. This 66 hour process yields two 9 pound fuel cells which are then custom finished and joined. The right cell interior was designed and reinforced to act as a structural chassis member. The entire Arch Down Draft system is contained between the two fuel cell chambers and frame.”
