The Tab Wear Collection is Lenovo’s series of experimental garments that are designed to be extremely versatile thanks to an integrated tablet compartment. One of the jackets can even be quickly converted into a hammock.

In collaboration with fashion experts from RANRA, Kit Wan Studios and Maium, Lenovo has developed three unique, experimental garments that all have one thing in common: an integrated tablet pocket. This is a vision of the future – the garments shown will not be mass-produced for the time being.
As users can easily have their Lenovo tablet with them at all times, this collection is intended to simplify creative work on the go and enable customers to surf social networks or stream videos on a significantly larger display compared to smartphones. Two of the three designs can hold the tablet at a 90 degree angle in front of the user’s stomach, leaving both hands free during use.
This is somewhat reminiscent of the Asus ROG Flow Z13 Acronym Edition. But the Tab Wear Collection also offers some interesting features beyond the tablet compartment. The “tech armor” developed by Kit Wan Studios can be adapted to current needs in a variety of ways. The tablet compartment can be removed and used as a separate carry bag.
The sporty design of RANRA is aimed specifically at outdoor enthusiasts, as the jacket is waterproof and the hood protected against noise and light, allowing the wearer to shield themselves from the outside world. Developed in Amsterdam by Maium, the design comes in bright pink and can easily be converted into a hammock or picnic blanket.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
