VISIONARY DESIGN CONCEPT

A sculptural vision of how the car of the future can take on new dimensions. Exterior and interior design for a four-seat autonomous vehicle with a focus on digital and analog interaction.
The bonsai tree as a symbolic element for nature, balance, and grounding forms the bridge between visual design and user experience. Just as the bonsai tree naturally goes through different stages within each year, this interior is able to evolve as well. 




DIGITAL X ANALOG

LED technology integrated into the floor enables various lighting scenarios.
By illuminating the seats from below, the overall mood can be changed to suit individual needs and preferences.
The "X" element adds an infinite flow throughout the interior and a closed system that allows the passenger to dive into another world. The hologram in the interior's geographical midpoint acts as a center of spirit. By incorporating the symbolism of the bonsai tree, it is filled with a sense of peace and the context of nature. The seats seem to hover, which again creates a state of balance.




contrasting design language

A stylistic contrast is provided through soft, smooth lines inside and clear structuring outside. The glass roof dome gives an organic impression and intersects architecturally with the substructure beneath.
The asymmetrical profile of the seating is an intentional design feature. The fact that the passenger's position is higher on one side than on the other changes the exterior contours and defines a specific direction of the vehicle.
This concept merges analog and digital values. 
Reflected by contrasting forms, moods, and technologies, the user experience blends with reality.
