You’re dismounting from your bicycle just as a bout of unexpected drizzle slows. Thanks to an oversized, salmon-colored inflatable pocho, you and your belongings have arrived at the destination completely dry. But with the grass still damp, you need a non-soggy place to settle down and get some work done on your tablet — your tablet, that I might add, has been safely stowed in your pocho’s front pocket since you left your house that morning. You remove your rain gear and hang between two trees because, naturally, the jacket doubles as a hammock.
The transformative garment I’m describing now exists and is available for pre-order from Amsterdam-based designer Maium. Lenovo commissioned Maium, along with two additional international designers, to create inventive outerwear built around the company’s tablets. All three of the pieces present practical means to tote around a Lenovo Tab, as well as other functional elements for using your device when you’re on-the-go.
