When it comes to creating the objects of tomorrow, Christoph Behling is the man in the know.
Having started his London-based studio in 2004, he has gone on to produce some of the world's most daring designs, from the tiny components in the TAG Heuer Mikrogirder chronograph to solar-powered speedboats.

"There is nothing more comical than opening history books from 20 years, even from 5 years ago, and looking at future predictions," he says. "We get everything so wonderfully wrong."
Despite the danger of future ridicule, Behling gives GQ Speed his own predictions, detailing the trends that will shape our existence in the next 50 years...
