Mercedes Makeover
This award-winning project by Oliver Elst applies the theme of reduction to the aesthetics and structure of this Mercedes concept, in the process creating an entirely new material and light-weight technology. The “sandwiched” material visible throughout the vehicle would consist of 3 layers- 2 for interior and exterior protection and an inner reactive filling that is used for temperature and lighting adjustment. The resulting aesthetic is an organic skin-like shell synthesized into a classic metal framework.
Designer: Oliver Elst

Props to the out of the box conceptualization and development of new material. The aesthetics of the prototype does not float my boat.

Award winning? gotta be kidding me!
The car is out of any proportions, then they say ” reduction to the aesthetics”!
Reduction to awfulness!

I think it’s amazing looking and like the lightweight material concept.
