Bike in a Box

Pinel et Pinel, a French design house, has created a bike in a box. It's a folding Brompton M6R bike that fits into a custom designed trunk. The P&P site describes, "Trunk in wood covered with leather. 51 colours can be associated. Hard-ware in nickel-plated brass. The trunk is delivered with a folding bike by Brompton type M6R available in about 10 colors."
