Transformable

A newly described single-celled protist can metamorphose into much larger “supergiants” that shift their shape, alter their movement, and begin hunting and eating their own genetically identical relatives.

With help from a transforming floor plan, the Bürstner Habiton X delivers longitudinal sleeping accommodations within a rugged, compact footprint. It's the perfect all-wheel drive camper van for off-road adventure.

Just in time for the heart of summer, New Balance has released one of the most versatile shoes you'll ever see. The new Niobium Concept 1 bridges the huge gap between waterproof boot and cozy slipper ... with another stop along the way.

Bürstner wowed the RV world last year when it introduced its Signature series of compact motorhomes with transforming spaces. The company grows the series this year with a larger, more luxurious version based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

Swap Arcade is a full-sized arcade machine with hundreds of games that can fold into a classic wooden cabinet when not in use. This nostalgic product may appeal to those who grew up playing arcades, and it is now available on Kickstarter.

Developed for the Shiver Offroad rally raid team that will be competing for a Dakar crown in just a few weeks, the Shiver x Expandable 6x6 motorhome is an intensely rare combination of rally-supporting grit, off-grid autonomy and spacious living.

The Bürstner Signature teased such a compelling mix of sleek fiberglass construction, cutting-edge transforming spaces, and luxe trim, we expected it to price in well over €100K. Instead, it starts well under.

Bürstner has revealed a camper van so experimental, it shares its name with a series of pure concepts. The all-new Habiton lives and sleeps larger than its footprint thanks an entire room that actually moves back and forth.

Perhaps it's not camper vans themselves, but camper van bathrooms have definitely gone mad. The Bürstner Habiton features the latest, and this one not only converts between different modes, it slides completely out of the way to make more space.

At first, the new Knaus Boxtime camper van appears to be a concept. It's billed as the "camper van of the future" and includes envelope-pushing features like a convertible wet/dry bath and lightweight materials. As it turns out, the future is now.
