Volvo Interior



I really like this Volvo interior, its been around for quiet a while now and was ahead of its time when released. I love the space behind the centre console that you can even put your hand behind it if you wanted to, i like the material finish with the light wood grain giving a great natural look, form and shape. it is also very minimalistic with where the buttons are placed helping maintain that clean fresh and natural look.

BMW interior



I really like this interior, i love the concave look of the steering wheel and the silver line thats goes round the steering wheel and also to the stem supports. The piano black finish on the centre console, the gear shifter shape seems very inspired by Zaha Hadid. It a very futuristic design for BMW and i really like it. Also the digital speedo seems very interesting. Also the air vent which can been seen through the steering wheel is gorgeous, i love the silver finish, and the beautiful way the dash sculpts around it, and how the dash meets the door card. And the materials used look great with the grey and tanned seats, with the black and silver finishes on the components.

BMW kidney grilles




This is a sculpture of the evolution of the kidney grille, a signature feature of the BMW brand. Even though The kidney grille has obviously changed over the many years, but you don't notice the slight changes from the current model to the next, as they are so similar. But here you can see them all, And as they are all layered they create some really nice shapes and forms which gives great inspiration.

Audi S5 speedo gauge




I like this Audi Speedo, I love the grey with the white text, with the red which tiers in with the red in the S3 logo, with the nice chrome around the speedo and also on the needle. Even the italic text, it looks very dynamic and sporty. its very simple with the colours used, but has a great balance of sporty and an executive feel.

Mercedes 300 SL


I love these sweeping curves and round edges, and the two humps on the bonnet. And how the rear quarters sweep round. The chrome bumpers and chrome bump stops brighten things up. and also the small details like a single wing mirror on the left hand side, and how the rear view mirror is lower down than usual and looks like its hovering. The interior is another piece of art, I love the chrome dashboard that runs horizontally across the whole dash, which includes a small black and chrome clock, and the 300 SL badge. the steering wheel also matches the outside of the car, being black and chrome which ties the interior and exterior together so nicely and the tan leather making the interior stand out more.

Mercedes



I love old mercedes, and this is just classic. The bright white steering wheel, with the black button in the middle, and the chrome horn push, giving a great contrast between white, black and chrome. With safety not a issue back them, no airbags, this steering wheel has such a sleek look with simple details, only having 3 components that make up the steering wheel.

Bentley


Bentley has to be one of the biggest names in luxury automotive design. I love how everything is simple, especially how its very symmetrical, how the shape of the cluster panel is mirrored onto the passenger side where the passenger airbag is. I like how the centre console sweeps don from the dashboard top. Obviously you have the top quality materials with leather and alcantara everywhere tired together with the beautiful stitching. Then all the chrome detailing on all the control buttons, then the beautiful wood. I love the 2 muscle lines which are on the steering wheel/airbag, which give a real sharp dynamic and sport feel, reminding you of whats under the bonnet.

Aston Martin cluster panel and gauges


Looking at interior components, i saw this and really liked it. i love the simple sleek look, the materials used, you have the brushed metal with the aston martin logo stamped on it, and with the black gauge faces is a very classy contrast. And the white LED Lighting keeping it simple but effective. Also the aston martin logo showing on the trip-ometer and it also says 'pure Aston Martin' its the small touches like these that make you know your in something special.

sculpture


A very interesting sculpture, I love the shape, made up of loads of triangles. the angle and the way it looks like its moving and growing. it reminds me of ice or frost, with all the sharp lines and and angles. Also i like how the light can make its way through the gaps in the design creating all different shapes and tones on the white surface, creating an amazing 3D sculpture.

Boxes



I like all the boxes which looked like they are stacked, which have numerous day light openings, And the effect on the outside on the building with the horizontal lines giving the building a taller look, and with the combined lighting it brings out a whiteness and a nice glow making the building really stand out. its simple but effective.

UBoat


I do Like my watches. And the bigger the better, i love the bulky look of this, giving a real robust and strong look. Also the detail and quality, from the engravings to the cover for the time adjustment. You have the very classy and clean look of the brushed aluminium, with the black face, with some silver digits and the rest orange giving a pop of colour. with the materials used and finish you can tell this is a quality watch.

Bedroom


This is a cool bedroom, I think its a great use of space, normally this would be wasted space, but they have come up with a great way to use it. I love the combination of the materials, you have the natural woods used on walls on floor, then the black steal beam running through the roof, making it a great combination between industrial and natural. And with the big opening for the window creating great light.

Dining room



I like interior design, as its an expression of you, and you have to be comfortable and have to live and use it on a daily basis. All white in the real world might not work, but i love it, it has a very clean crisp and precise look. making the room feel very light, airy and clean. I love the black accent features, with the table being black, making it the main feature of the room.

shoes and socks


I like fashion, and i love the materials, textures and colours of the shoes. the detail is very well executed with stitching and the laces are thin and simple and don't detract from the design of the shoe. And the colourful socks just brighten things up.

Glass cube


I love Architecture, and i really like this, i like glass and square sharp lines in design. its really cool how it is suspended above the sea, and because its all glass you can see the scenery behind it. meaning it doesn't interrupt the natural landscape around it. its very simple and clean design but with the engineering involved and the natural beauty. it makes this a very nice piece of design.

Ferrari


I love the look of this Ferrari, I've never seen this before. But its gorgeous. Very simple,sweeping curves, very purposeful and aerodynamically designed. Has one wing mirror, it seems futuristic whilst at the same time it has a classic retro feel. The shape and curves of the quarter panels and front bumper air intake. whilst the Hood scoop seem and headlights still seem quite retro. But i love the combination.

Italian Job Mini's


I love the Italian Job and i love the Mini's. I love the iconic blue, white and red colours. And the classic styling which was ahead of its time when it was first produced. And they are loved by many even today, 

Bentley Brooklands



The Bentley Brooklands, my dream bentley, i love this as i has the classic original Bentley styling, but has all the modern technology and engine borrowed from VAG, so it actually works. I love the size, and the shear brute force this machine can move at. the 2 round headlights, the chrome side vents, the bulky alloy wheels. all the defining feature lines, its so simple but looks aggressive and is so elegant at the same time. A true Bentley in my opinion. 

Floating cars




Are Floating cars the future? if they are i wonder if they will restore classic cars and make them float as well. would be a very cool thing to do. as demonstrated here with some classic, elegant, clean and flowing design cars. these are great cars normally. But with the wheels and wheel wells removed they look even more beautiful and sleek. I hope floating cars come to existence, as these look amazing. 

Alligators made from recycled tires



Came across this, as im looking into sustainability in design for my engineering project. I thought these were real alligators at first glance, the tire tread represents the scales of an alligator so well. I love the lines of the alligators back, with the humps and the sharp lines of some of the tire tread. Would be very cool and unique to have in your garden but could scare some people.

Bell & Ross aviation watch


I like my watches, i like these, as i love the finish of them, they have changeable faces. I like the matt black finish with the use of the bright yellow, which makes it stand yet still being subtle at the same time. Even though each interchangeable face has a different use, they are simple and easy to understand with the clean and stylish text used. I like how they faces are square and have a screw in each corner of them, giving a well made and strong feel to the product. Even though they are a aviation watch they still have a stylish urban feel about them with the colours, materials and design used for these watches.

Virgin's glass bottomed plane



I came across this and thought it was really cool, i obviously don't think it can be done, the glass wouldn't be able to handle the stress, and where would all the luggage go? it would be very freaky to experience, especially if you afraid of heights. But it does look really cool and gives the cabin a fresh new look and makes the interior interesting compared to the dull and depressing interiors. the way they could make this work is by having multiply plasma screens which show live images of what is underneath them. Virgin always seem to be the most  innovative in design in my opinion always bringing latest technology and services to the consumers.
