Rinspeed BamBoo by James Rizzi

Of all the automakers that display on an annual basis at the Geneva Motor Show, surely Rinspeed is the most innovative. The Swiss firm makes a tradition out of designing off-beat concept cars, and this year's will be no exception.

Called the BamBoo, the vehicle is envisioned as a mode of transportation for resort destinations and vacation homes. It offers little in the way of protection from the elements, leaving the cabin open to the warm air it's intended to drive through.

Now Rinspeed has taken its uniqueness one step further by announcing a collaboration with pop artist James Rizzi, who will apply his trademark cheerful and colorful design to the BamBoo's inflatable roof. Along with it, the BamBoo will feature one of Rizzi's bird icons on the upper roof pillar that will change color to reflect the occupants' mood.
