Since I was young, I was really fascinated by his incredible studies sketch about mechanic and human body. So for this reason, the overall idea was to made a combination of these two world: 1.Product design for the central part of the vehicle inspired by the architecture of the latest generation of wind turbine, which is even the vehicle propulsion and 2. organic design fort the suspended seats, made by elastic texture, fixed to the vehicle by carbon fiber telescopic tubes , like the insect wings.
So, the spirit of this concept was to establishes a relation with the nature, it's not only a vehicle but a new way of freedom. With this project i won the best eco interior prize.
