Francesco Ianuzzi and Gianluca Bartolini, founders of Dotto Creations, took a 1979 Honda cx500 and completely restored the automobile into a sculptural masterpiece.
Dubbed the Biancaneve, the designers sought to create a high-end vehicle that is equally a design treasure. The automobile consists of a white organic-formed shell placed atop the frame of the bike. The shell is finished with a smooth coat and contrasts the darkness of the rest of the frame and wheels.
The shell can be opened, and inside reveals a handmade saddle designed to ensure a comfortable and relaxing ride. The saddle is made using alcantara and leather. Designers Ianuzzi and Bartolini explained that this design "wants to be a sculpture to look at when its parked and give a smooth experience when ridden."
