Later last year world-famous enfant terrible of design Ora-Ïto presented Evo-Mobil for Citroen. And this month in Milan he revealed a second concept of a mobility - "UFO" - a juxtaposed piece of contemporary art and futuristic mobile vehicle.
On the edge of the hypothesis and contemporary art, Ora-Ïto presents hybrid objects associated to the research and innovation department of the dynastic Citroën.
