Geneva has been always vital motor show in the automotive
calendar. Auto companies focus to show new technologies, design elements and
language. Some of the trends we have picked up from this year’s show is as
follows.
Exterior design
trends
Dual tonality is
the one of the strongest trends. The
unique idea of splitting the car body into two tone for highlighting features,
elements and details . Car models like Renault Captur, Kia provo and Pininfarina Sergio concept have applied
dual tonality in a new way. This kind of
treatment gives cars more lighter feeling and adds more dynamism.
Graphics line gap
feature is a new trend that we have seen. Interestingly in the past gaps or
larger spaces in between body panels was
seen as bad manufacturing as well as design quality. However treating gaps
between body panels as graphic element is more intelligent way of disguising
them. We have seen supercars like La
Ferrari, MclarenP1 treating their
bodywork in this new way. Surely it will inspire automakers to look at this new
trend.
Lamps with vent is
new way to make cars look clean and simple. With ever-growing technology
complicated details like this are possible and designers can go crazy with
their design ideas.
Interior Design trend
Floating interior
surfaces is the only strong design trend we have seen in the interiors.
This days interiors gaining more
attention in terms of surfaces treatment and complex forms. One of the
designers dream is to create to interiors with layered sensuality, with this
advancement in design engineering , ideas like this will take shape in future.
