"DRESS YOUR VISION CONTEST": HERE ARE THE FINALISTS AND THE WINNER

ALCANTARA C1  –  by Adam Cal

The study shows the interior in a vehicle that can be used for future urban or short-distance transportation. The interior is upholstered with Alcantara, but to make the most of the material’s properties, the project envisages combining it with a “spandex” fabric that allows it to stretch up to 600% without deforming and losing its properties.

CLASSIC FUTURE  –  by Ryousuke Uemura

Here the Alcantara upholstery is for the seats of the cars of the future, designed to be inspired by feminine forms and the European artistic and cultural movements of the past. An example? The Classical Period.

MUSIC CONCEPT  –  by Ryoga Kihsimoto

Here the intention is to explore the use of Alcantara also as dedicated upholstery for the audio system on board a vehicle, thanks to its softness and sound absorption capability. In this case, the speakers could be placed in the Alcantara seat, thus creating a connection between materials.

ALBA  –  by Leary Estrada

The project imagines an autonomous vehicle to transport two passengers in the year 2050. The vehicle’s Alcantara-upholstered interior creates an ideal of luxury in which to relax and sip a Martini or an Asahi beer on the way to a hotel, the airport or any appointment.

ALCANTARA NEW MATERIAL USE  –  by Marian Vasile Dragon

The concept imagines using the material to decorate certain external elements of a first generation Citroën C4 Cactus. The project thus departs from the more frequent use of Alcantara as an interior upholstery material.
