In seinem Werk verschmilzt der deutsche Designer Kunst mit Wissenschaft und Natur, was ihn als einen Pionier des Biodesigns auszeichnet. „The Frog“ ist eine Studie zu einem möglichen Chassis für ein Motorrad, das in diesem Fall die anathomische Form und Struktur eines Frosches annimmt. Bei dem vorliegenden Design versucht er einerseits den Benzinverbrauch zu reduzieren und andererseits dabei ein Maximum an Schnelligkeit zu erreichen.
