Hermes interiors

Hermes is on a roll, not satisfied by merely redoing the interior of a Eurocopter EC135, they now decided to focus their attention to the humble Citroen 2CV. The result is a vehicle that is quite different from the norm of luxury cars, but a lot more interesting (just forget that it's about as safe as riding around in a tin can, as Top Gear conveniently demonstrated: link to Youtube )

edit: Turns out Hermes has somewhat of a history with Citroen, check out this DS, owned by the CEO of Hermes Japan:

The project began as an investigation into designing helicopters from the user's point of view. However the particular user of this helicopter isn't your average joe. This machine is specifically aimed at the business aviation marketplace. for the discerning luxury traveller, helicopters are an ideal end-to-end transportation solution, moving them from the city to the airport; the perfect complement to business jets. As you would imagine this market segment puts a high premium on design. In response, eurocopter collaborated with the house of Hermès, a leading expert with years of history in the fashion design industry.
