German industrial designer Cornelius Cormanns has skillfully modified a three wheeled Piaggio to create a small camper suitable to meet the requirements of a single individual. Dubbed as “Buffalino,” Cornelius wanted to design a vehicle that would offer greater flexibility during travel besides enabling an economic and fuel efficient ride which does not become heavy on the pocket. The main components include the frame, the chassis and an engine. The vehicle serves perfectly as a base camp during long solitary sojourns thanks to its excellent furnishings.
