Description:
These days, the number of workaholics is increasing. Therefore, they have no free time so they can’t find out what they want to do or what hobbies they should undertake. This can result in added stress, depression and a decrease in their work efficiency. The ‘Paean’ can be a healing kit that makes workaholics get out of the busy cities and take a rest in nature.

Paean can be changed into three driving models: speed, healing and rest. Speed model is where people can enjoy the speed of the concept. Healing mode – people can receive healing from this car. And rest mode – where people are able to rest and enjoy the raw nature.
