Economic, social, and technological shift is transforming cities into dynamic spaces by day and night. Businesses, night life, and services increasingly operate round the clock to cater for a globalized economy; cities adopt a nonstop pace to offer services, transport, and businesses accessible at all hours to satisfy populations with diverse lifestyles.
Any-time transport means designing cars for 24-hour autonomy, and a central part of that is the design, configuration, and specifications of the interior. Ambient lighting, comfort and sleeping facilities, and sensors are the most interesting applications. Interiors are no longer just about how passengers sit, but about how they feel, what they do, and how they connect with the night. It’s a shift from passive to experiential, ergonomic, lighted, and dynamic spaces.
This week’s in-depth piece looks at the trends shifting car interior into this night ecosystem. Interior and exterior lighting are an obvious focus, but by no means the only one – have a look and see!
Our next DVN workshop is happening in a month in Shanghai, and there’ll be a full interior lighting session with numerous high-content presentations.
Last week’s in-depth piece about the Konzepthaus Mobility Design Conference was acclaimed by members, so we made it accessible to everyone to help demonstrate the benefits of DVN Membership.
Take Care,
