L.A.-based designer Charles Pyott's been getting lots of blog love lately for his portable Linos record player concept, above; another lesser-known project of his worth checking out is the DAWS (Dynamically Augmenting Wheel System, below).

Pyott studied the way motorcycles corner by leaning into turns and came up with a rather radical concept to translate this performance improvement into cars: A segmented wheel that "parallelograms" into turns, providing even contact with the pavement while shifting laterally.

Check out the rest of Pyott's book on Coroflot.
