TOYOTA SETSUNA + Más madera!!!


Toyota Setsuna concept car was designed in wood to highlight the affection owners develop for family vehicles over time, which is in contrast to the more disposable nature of digital devices.
"Wood was chosen as the primary material for Setsuna's construction to express the idea that love grows as time passes," said the Japanese auto brand in a statement. "Wood changes in colour and feel in direct response to the love and care shown to it."
"As Setsuna is passed from generation to generation, the physical changes in its wooden bodywork reflect the bond it has built with its owners and their shared experiences."
Toyota said that the Setsuna is not a piece of furniture, it is a fully functional vehicle. However it isn't road legal.
Japanese cedar forms the exterior panels due to its flexibility and distinctive grain, while Japanese birch is used for the vehicle's frame, thanks to its rigidity.
Each section of the car is joined using traditional Japanese joinery techniques, according to the manufacturer. These include "okuriari", a type of dovetail joint, and "kusabi", a mortise and tenon joint.

Travis Burke + DODGE RAM VAN + GOAL ZERO


 


 Traveling to remote locations, hiking for hours, hanging from a 500 foot bridge, living in a van for months on end and staying up all night to get a shot are all a regular part of Travis Burke's life. He is an outdoor and adventure photographer who's worked with the biggest names in action sports.

He recently embarked on a year long road trip exploring North America in his 1994 Dodge Ram Van. He acquired the van from family and then customized it to be his ultimate adventuremobile. In this, the latest episode in our 'En Route' series, Travis walks us through the van that he calls home.
