Art director Willi Dorner has been arranging very flexible dancers in very unlikely places for some time now.

Take a peek at the gallery below for more shots of Hyun-Seok Kim's winning design.
 
How do you get building equipment to a remote location in the Swiss Alps before there's a road to the site? With cables, of course!

We particularly love the sight of this Astra HD8 480 hp, 8x6 against such a gorgeous mountain backdrop.

From there, it will travel to other well known spots in Italy, Russia, Switzerland and Sweden with world class chefs cooking away on, you guessed it…Electrolux appliances.
