2011 Tokyo Auto Show: The Lixil Concept

Never heard of Lixil? There's a reason for that. It's doesn't make cars, or anything even remotely related to cars. Lixil makes home building products like shutters, doors and wooden louver window shades.

So why a booth at the Tokyo auto show? The company wanted to introduce the idea of "midteriors", or areas that combine the comfort of a home's interior with the openness of its exterior. Yeah, it's a stretch but go with it. 

The result was this electric vehicle made mostly of wood. It was joined by a bicycle made of wood and this lovely garden. And of course live miniature horses. Can't have a worthwhile auto show stand without miniature horses.
