The vertices emulate the rear fenders of the 1959 cars, and its structure has no square angles, which gives it a very impressive dynamism that requires being the center of attention in any room. - Project Duration
- This project took 16 weeks from the first sketches to the final prototype for mass production, made in the laboratory and prototype design in Mérida, Yucatán, México.
