Emotion
Make the car a witness to its experiences
It is easy to record a car’s technical history, but almost impossible to keep track of it’s life. So we explored the idea of a digital memory of user experiences. The central point of this car is the key, it acts as the « brain », following the users in all their activities. It represents the whole « emotional logbook » of the vehicle. In order to trace the different elements, the dashboard creates a cartography of events – the witness of the moments spent in and with the vehicle. The seats are also used to capture moments by adding details such as ambient light, sound, vibrations and heat. The final element is a portable pod, equipped with lidar, lights and speakers. This pod is capable of capturing the mood and atmosphere of the moment captured and recreating it in the best possible way.

Amazon Flex Driver
Support users of Amazon Flex in their daily routine
Amazon vehicle is a micro-car designed for students who are Amazon Flex drivers. This service allows drivers to adapt their working time to their schedules. The aim of this project was to design a car dedicated to this use, allowing the student to easily manage the transition from personal to work vehicle. The intention was to improve the organization of the car. This service is composed of a smartphone application, allowing users to choose whether they are in personal or working time. Depending on the mode, the functionalities inside the vehicle will vary – in particular the dashboard. The vehicle is also equipped with a parcel scanner, allowing the user to store parcels according to the delivery stages. The user is also equipped with a wristband which is the key to the vehicle but also a manual scan. Finally, Alexa is also a delivery assistance function to facilitate the user’s tasks.

Peinture Fraiche
Make your car a new medium to express yourself and share your art
This concept is dedicated to the urban artist, as a car is mostly generic. The goal of this project was to design a vehicle as a way to express oneself and to help others understand and interact with his art. In a typical car, ambiance and interactions are developed for the inside, but are never shown on the outside!
This classic car now becomes a projection of the artwork. Equipped with spray guns and paint, the internal lights will reflect the atmosphere and evolution while the frosted glass determines the distance and the scale of the masterpieces.
