MATERIAL DESIGNER
Using my own structured knitted samples from a previous project to imagine
how they could be placed within the Jaguar F - Pace.
Inspired by sustainable materials I found at London Design Festival I decided to apply them to the interior of the Range Rover Velar. Looking at alternative materials instead of traditional leather.
Materials: Pine Skins- Studio Sarmite
Palm Leather - Tjeerd Veenhoven
The Colour Palette of the Bentley Continental GT is similar to my collection of leather-like fabric created from embossed silicone. Here they are applied to the door panel, pedals and seating of the Bentley.
COLOUR- MATERIAL- FINISH
I was given a brief to design a collection of fabrics which are suitable for an autonomous vehicle for the future. This was a live brief set by UniGlobal Royal. I Chose to push the boundaries of silicone to produce leather like fabrics.
CAR INTERIOR DESIGNED BY ME
The de-cluttered car.
A minimalist and sleek design interior, no buttons, dials or knobs. A place to work, rest or play underpinned by calmness and cleanliness. Your own personal contemporary office space; get work done without distractions from a busy city life.
Light up technology on the seating means the interior is visible from the outside making the car distinctive while adding uniqueness to the exterior. No mess of fuss, just great design.
The brief described an autonomous concept car written by Renault “The aim is to travel in a bright, fengshui space that is much like a large living room” this along with Dutch designers Scholten & Baijings were the main inspiration behind my idea of simplicity. Research shows that productivity increases in a calm, non- distractive environment, which means less is more.
