Take a look at the backseat in the all-new Smart Forjoy concept car. A cross between a traditional papasan and an egg chair, it appears as if Smart took its design cues from Austin Powers’ love shack.
In a company press release, Smart describes it as a “striking rear seat bench in the style of lounge furniture”, and explains that all three seats were designed to give the impression that they’re floating.
I appreciate that Smart is thinking outside the box, but this is only a concept car. We’ll have to wait to see if any elements of its cabin translate to production.

I am both impressed and confused about the missing stuff in this concept. Doors. Windows. Yeah.
The design of the seats are pretty cool. I do wonder about the seeming intent to limit the back seat to one person. Cool looking, but limited, and forcing that limitation on the customer seems foolish.
