Description
The exhibition object named cocoon is a simple pneu construction for the new Toyota Yaris. The main idea of the conceptual design was to display the new Toyota Yaris in a semi-transparent egg shaped structure with additional light and fog effects.Therefore The car was placed on a single column supported platform that contains all technical equipment. The inflated ETFE Foil covering is clamped to the special shaped border of the platform.
