Luigi Colani at CeBIT -- oh, and his AnyFix charger too

As if in a dream, we casually ran into the (slightly) mad professor of design himself, Luigi Colani right here at CeBIT. So cool, so chilled, just flirting with the girls while he signed autographs. "I like the Chinese girls," he joked as he pulled an impressionable Industrial design lady-student in for a cuddle photo. Yeah, his AnyFix universal cellphone charger was on hand as well. Looking every bit the product you'd expect from the man. As we thought, it does indeed possess the smarts to detect the needs of some 80% of the mobile phones in use here in Europe and then apply the appropriate level of juice. Just like the man himself, effusing just the right amount of charisma to woo the (mostly) bewildered onlookers into his den for a closer look. Get a feel for it in the gallery below.

Isn't this the guy who invented the puffy shirt?

He looks like he's wearing my bed sheet.

That thing looks like a Romulan speculum.

looks a bit like a virgina to me.

saw him on the discovery channel... quite eccentric.

edit: vagina

*waits for the inevitable jokes*

Such intelligent comments.
Shut up you muppets and check out his 50 years long design work.

[spaceman @ Mar 16th 2007 11:15AM]

You can tell he's never tried to charge up a N-gage/QD with that thing!

[b @ Mar 16th 2007 11:17AM]

Why is he wearing such a huge turtle neck with a scarf on top of that... Apparently 50 years of design work did not help with his fashion sense or a marketable looking product either! :)

I agree, the only excuse for such a ridiculous fraise is some debilitating neck deformity such as a superfluous (evil) face growing out of his neck.

[rotelle3 @ Mar 16th 2007 2:55PM]

This looks exactly like a part of the female anatomy, red button included. Coincidence? Knowing Luigi, I think not.

Okay, I get it: it's the Jason King's look who disturbs me!
