WhiteCrate Unveils Shipping Container Exhibition Space for the Nissan LEAF

Since we last featured <a href="http://inhabitat.com/upcycled-shipping-containers-transformed-into-modern-spaces-by-whitecrate/" target="_blank">their fantastic spaces</a>, the folks at <a href="http://whitecrate.co/" target="_blank">WhiteCrate</a> have been hard at work, this time converting former <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/shipping-containers/" target="_blank">shipping containers</a> into an exhibition site for the <a href="http://www.nissanusa.com/leaf-electric-car/index" target="_blank">Nissan LEAF</a>. Back in October the designers teamed up with the car manufacturer to tour their celebrated zero-emission electric car across Scandinavia. Dubbed FUTURE:TODAY, the exhibition has been showcasing some of the most pioneering exhibitors in the field of design within WhiteCrate’s adaptable structure, which can be moved around from city to city.

The interactive exhibition was designed to fully immerse the visitor in the innovative ideas of sustainable design, art, and architecture.

Different artists and designers were invited to participate.

But the focus of the mobile exhibition was the zero-emission LEAF which took center stage.

The Nissan LEAF is one of the world’s best-selling electric vehicles.

The car is particularly popular in the Norwegian city of Oslo, which was the first site of the tour.

After a week-long exhibition, the structure was packed up and moved on to the next cities of Bergen and Stockholm.

Eventually the exhibition toured all the way to Frankfurt, Germany.
