Concept Anyway Interiors
Concept-anyway is a public car for commuters in the city. It is made to run inside the central zone of the city using electricity as a propulsion fuel. This car is a part of PubliCAR service which will be taken care by the Victorian government initially and can become a semi government body later on. User has a flexible access to these cars as well as service using different interfaces and mediums provided, for example using their own mobile phone, websites, car instrument panel or kiosk at parking spots.
It can be used by various user groups like business commuters, students, working people for their primary as well as secondary needs including shopping and cultural meetings.
The Your Concept Car Interior
YACC designers describe the car's interior as more living room than cockpit, replete with modern furnishing fabrics. The interior design hints at the role women played in the cockpit with the ponytail notch in the headrest, the additional thought for storage, and interchangeable seat covers and carpeting fabrics.
"Let's bring the living room into the car," said Maria UCLA, Color and Trim designer. "Let's use materials, not obscured by coats of shiny enamel."
The interior design of the car is adjustable. The seat pads can be exchanged for different colors and fabrics, including leather, linen, wool buckle (a knit fabric), or a shimmering yellow-green embroidered seat pad. The carpet can also be swapped out for different styles. The idea of exchangeable carpet and seat pads is to give owners options when they are tired of looking at the same fabric or if the fabric becomes worn. Changing the interior gives owners a sense of a new car. These exchangeable seat covers and carpet are also washable.
Space and storage are maximized throughout the YACC interior. The gear shifter, usually positioned between the driver and passenger seat, is located on the steering column, and the parking brake is electronic and integrated further increasing interior space.
With the gear shifter and parking brake out of the way, the center console in the YACC provides significantly more storage. The console is divided into three compartments. A shallow compartment is available for keys, mobile phones, coins, and other small items. Slide back this top compartment to reveal a larger compartment for a handbag. Yet another compartment is available for a notebook computer. The center console also features a cooler and a wastebasket.
Moving from front seat to back seat, cinema-style seats in the back can be folded up to allow more space for luggage and other cargo. Designers found that drivers use their back seats more often for cargo than for passengers. When there are passengers, they put the seat down as they enter.Adaptable Car Interior
Car interiors are becoming more and more like wombs. Like the double-curved exteriors. These forms are understood to provide a lovely sense of security to those inhabit them. Well, that may be, but there are also people who want their car interior look like it was made for them, to suit their purposes, their lifestyles. It is strange that we put so much attention to space, function and adaptability in architecture and so little in the spaces in which we transport ourselves. Av ions Vising has therefore come up with excellent solutions to provide the client with all options to create his or herown interior.
