What do you think it is some kind of dish or cake? Well, it is a collection of a table and 5 stools designed by Thailand based Moban. This unique furniture piece has a central stainless steel and tempered glass table which is designed to have room for five low seated stools. Once assembled, these stools form a circular design along with the table in the center. Like you cut pieces of a cake, these stools can be separated and positioned wherever you want. This design is environment friendly as it is made up of recycled plastic and waterproof and UV resistant polyamide-jersey base cloth in the stool. You can easily carry and assemble this furniture for a small gathering in your lawn or balcony.

After the popularity of three-wheelers is rising, started by Piaggio MP3, Gilero Fuoco and Vectrix, a French scooter importer Sidam try to enter the market by building another type of three-wheel scooter. But this time, instead of putting two wheels at the front, they decided to put the two wheels at the rear of the vehicle. Kinda remind me of Thai Tuk Tuk, but Xnovo concept is somehow some crossover between a minivan and Thai Tuk Tuk.
The design sketches seem to suggest that both rear wheels will be belt driven in the 500cc Piaggio-engined petrol version – although hybrid and fully electric versions are also on the cards, the latter featuring twin electric motors, one in each wheel hub. The luggage angle is definately a big part of the concept fot Sidam.
We’ll wait to learn more as the Xnovo moves towards a launch date rumoured to be late 2008. Price is expected to be around ?8000 for the 500cc model.
