Hoverboard by Nils Guadagnin
May, 2010 // made possible with Crealev magnetic levitation technology
The Hoverboard is a project made by Nils guadagnin, a young french artist. This work is born in 2008 for an exhibition named “Back To the future”. It is a copy of the hoverboard from the movie Back to the Future II. Integrated into the board and the plinth is an electromagnetic system which levitates the board. A laser system stabilises the object in the air. In the making of this work, this artist was thinking about different ways of presenting sculpture. In fact it’s a reflexion on the multiple possibilities of how to give a sculpture full spatial autonomy.
The Hoverboard features two CLM-1+ levitation modules which are neatly integrated into to the Hoverboard.

Auto Rotating Life-Size Window Dummy
May, 2010 // New application featuring CLM-2
Crealev created this custom full-size window dummy to be used in the showroom of a well known mens-shirts brand. The mens-shirt on the window dummy is made from an innovative light-weight fabric. The client wanted to show of the shirt’s light weight characteristics by letting the shirt float in mid-air at a height of 6 centimeter. One of the features that was implemented in this project is controlled rotation; the window dummy slowly rotates so that the shirt can be seen from all sides!
This was the first project where a CLM-2 module was used. CLM-2 is (currently) Crealev’s largest levitation module. It is both stable and power efficient. CLM-2 can carry a load up to 10 kilogram and can achieve a levitation height with a maximum of 9 centimeter. Are you interested in your own floating window dummy? Or do you have an idea for a (custom) application using CLM-2? Please contact us!

Dutch Design Week of 2009 was a great success!
Lots of people were drawn in to the Crealev booth; bewildered and intrigued by the many levitation modules on display. ‘Ooehhs/aahhhs’ and ‘how’s that possible?’ were often heard. Thank you all for visiting and making this such a fun week for us!
Crealev displayed its new CLM-1 module, the CLM-1+, a levitation module with an extended levitation height of 44mm. Also on display were prototypes of CLM-0.5 (half size, levitation height 25mm, carries loads up to 200gr) and CLM-2 (double size, levitation height 90mm, carries loads up to 10kg).
The prototypes of Crealev’s latest product concept – floating 3D table clock EMIT. – also received lots of attention during its first week in the limelight. Crealev is excited to tell that it has found a partner in Karlsson clocks to get EMIT. on the market! So for all the people who liked EMIT. make sure to check our website every now and then, as soon as we have more news on EMIT. you can read about it here.
