Strange Auto Show Products: IAA 2012- 09.13.11
Luxury (and some non) automotive brands make some strange an unexpected lifestyle products to complement their cars. While cars were everywhere today at IAA ~ i found myself drawn to the shopping side of the show, exploring the spaces and booth designs and constantly gravitating towards the style shops that most luxury booths had… the products found within were often to be expected ~ jackets, golf balls, model cars, USB keys, keychains, mugs/espresso sets… the less unusual i’ve rounded up for you on the next page! Everything from that Mercedes bobble head of a dog above ~ to SLK Red Nail polish, Lotus Backgammon, Citroen weights, Maserati Ethernet cords, Bugatti Deodorant, Smart Ice Cubes, Bentley jewelry boxes, and more…. including this strange trend of USB keys that look like car keys!
We joked about this when i shot the Louboutins on the Mars Red C63 ~ well they have Designo Zircon Red nail polish to go with the SLK now…
You can brand your meat with the Mercedes logo with this grilling set…
Strange trend of Keys as USB Keys ~ if only they really did both?
Bugatti deodorant? And other grooming products…
Citroen travel weights?
Lotus backgammon set…
Smart Car ice cube trays!
Maserati travel ethernet cable…
Peugeot’s day glow wall of salt and pepper shakers…
Porsche turns engine parts into champagne bucket…
Bentley’s luxury jewelry case fit for the car…
Bentley skis and helmet and more too…
Mercedes picnic basket!
And these were being given away at Volvo ~ but cool product idea… water bag/bottles!
And what looked like bean bags made out of old sails…
