Collaborations are always happening in the auto
industry. Whether it’s with a fashion label, a timepiece maker or even a
furniture company, there aren’t any shortages of partnerships that give birth
to special-edition models. At the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, smart is bringing
one special edition model, called the fortwo BoConcept.
Built and designed in collaboration with the Danish
interior design company BoDesign, the fortwo Concept is based on the cabriolet
version and was designed to really catch peoples’ attention.
The fortwo BoConcept was given a
matte-white paint, and complemented by a roof and door mirrors that were
treated to a matte oriental brown metallic finish. The exterior is then fitted
with a set of Brabus Monoblock VII alloy wheels to give off a pretty impressive
look for a smart fortwo.
Inside, smart and BoDesign wanted to recreate a
mobile living space and, for the most part, they accomplished that by using
such materials like tobacco brown leather covers the steering wheel, seats and
door trim panels, a grey finish on the doors and backrests, light-lemon
stitching on the seats and the steering wheel, and a few more yellow accents on
the mirrors.
All told, there really is something about the fortwo
BoConcept that catches your attention. Take away the fact that it’s a fortwo
for a second and concentrate on the uniqueness of the product; that’s what
makes this collaboration pretty special.
