Asian Handicraft and cyclos (tricylcles)

The Galeries Lafayette asked Maison du Mékong to make a unique item, an original Cambodian pousse-pousse. Contrary to the cyclo, it is pulled by a man.

The request was to make something similar to this traditional Chinese pousse-pousse (see below). It was cheaper to adapt the frame of a cyclo rathen than building a whole new frame.

So we hurried and asked our Cambodian producer to quickly produce the pousse-pousse. Here is the result:
