This morphing hard drive enclosure is by Antonin Odin<\/a>, done as an Industrial Design student at France’s ENSCI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

People increasingly want more visibility over their data, more taste in the objects they live with, and more function from both.ZO<\/a> is a 12 TB personal server that gives storage a body. Empty, it’s a plain aluminium tube. As it fills up, its fins slide out one by one, one millimetre for every 400 GB.Switched off, it keeps its shape: it shows what it holds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s built to live on a shelf, rather than hide in a rack. An almost ritual object that makes what we entrust to the machine visible and precious.Every part is wire-cut by EDM from a single block of aluminium. The wire, thinner than a hair, separates the rings without removing visible material: closed, the object looks solid, its seams nearly invisible. That process is what lets the fins slide into one another like a telescope.<\/p>\n
