Precise and dynamic curving lines run throughout
the entire room. Fine lines become large areas, then disappearing
into a counter curve. It is reminiscent of the psychedelic
wallpapers of the 70s or modern “tribal tattoos”.
Vehicle details are only discovered at second glance –
tail lights, wheel arches, wheel housing are visible. Sharp
contrasts are mirrored in the surface of the body, therefore
highlighting the reflections which appear on the car. The
flow of these highlights is a benchmark for the design quality.
The type of representation is typical of computer programmes
which are used to analyse the vehicle shape. It was used here
to develop a seemingly two dimensional graphic of the VW Fox
which then allows the third dimension to appear on closer
view.
The oversized representation of the highlights opens up new
ways to access the vehicle design and shows the love of detail
behind the VW Fox.
