The Living Vroom Collection

  What do furniture and cars have in common? Not a lot you would think but these car makers are proving otherwise. We look at five examples where car makers have stretched their design muscles to furniture. 1)      Smart and BoConcept As well as designing cars, the partnership between BoConcept and Smart also resulted in a furniture and homeware collection.
