Car interiors have evolved from purely functional spaces to cocoons of style, comfort, and luxury. The designer for the vehicles’ interior develops the proportions, shape, placement, and surfaces for the whole interior, including instrument panel, seats, door trim panels, headliner, pillar trims, etc. Here the emphasis is on perceived quality, occupant experience and comfort.
Automotive design and interior design are the first steps into the vehicle development process. They define the playground where engineers and technology step in. DVN met recently with Peugeot Design chief Matthias Hossann to get his perspective on design in general, Peugeot philosophy, and the different ingredients to make a great automotive product.
The grand U.S. DVN Triple Workshop still awaits you in San Francisco on 29-30 August, including an interior Deep Dive centered around the theme Interior Lighting and Beyond. Interior lighting contributes and interacts for user experience, safety, HMI, and comfort in the car interior. A few lecture slots and exhibition booth are still available if you hurry!
Sincerely yours,
