We’re excited to announce that we’ve begun a comprehensive rebrand for Orlando-based QAS.

Inverness Medical Innovations has major research & development and operational centers in the US, UK, Germany and Israel, and manufacturing sites in the UK, China, Japan and the US.

I am always intrigued and inspired when the standard approach or standard use of materials is questioned, once you force yourself to explore the alternative the results are often exciting and innovative. One beautiful and extraordinary example of this concept is GINA, the concept car unveiled earlier this year by BMW.
GINA is modeled after a Z8 Roadster, but they’ve eliminated the standard surfaces, door handles and lights, and have replaced them with a flexible fabric covering the entire car.The use of fabric allows BMW to play with the way the standard fittings work. For instance, the door no longer has to rigidly open outwards; instead it slides up, rippling the fabric in the process.
