Rinderknecht and his Rinspeed company.
??Three years ago it was sQuba submarine car. ??Two years ago, the shape-shifting iChange.
And last year, the diminutive UC?, ready to roll right off the street and onto a train.?
For the March 2011 Geneva exhibition, Rinderknecht is taking a bit of a nostalgic turn, evoking innocent, laid-back fun in the sun with the BamBoo, an understated, open-top, electric vehicle that Rinspeed calls "a grownup golf cart."
So is it made of bamboo? ??Kind of.
"Many of the components are [manufactured] from bamboo fibers," the company says.
But the bamboo element doesn't seems be part of the design as a revolutionary use of the fast-growing fiber.
Instead, it deepens the emotional impact of the car.
"BamBoo pushes the reset button, clears the mind for a new way of thinking," Rinspeed says. ??
It sports simple, clean lines. No bells, no whistles. Nothing is superfluous. ??Plain aesthetics in their purest form.
As stated before and even in a figurative sense: "Nomen est omen. Simply bamboo."
