THEME SELECTION INITIAL CONCEPT

IP architecture exploration digital sketches to find a strong "lightweight" brand theme.
Official Lotus Design press sketches

Key sketch that was chosen for further development at the beginning of the design phase.
The main Idea was to have a "dual wing" IP to create a floating feel. The main UX functions like air vent , high end speaker system, steering wheel, HUD and ultra slim screens are integrated in the "dual wing" . Also a main initial feature was a central IP break through in between the wings to create a feeling of space which sadly didn't made it into the final production due to package restrictions.
