captured beauty ( Interpreting Aston Martin) ARTWORK



Loose surfaces are pulled together by repetitive loops of cord which form a visual volume. The green coupe builds outline of a four-passenger volume, resulting in loops of cord pulling surfaces towards the centre. This concentrated use of cords in the middle of the volume gave a sense of occupancy or an interior.
Exploring further into the use of such aesthetic, we tried to implement it on to a vehicle as a function.
Following reference under the green coupe, we tried to mature the sense of an interior, as the function. In hypothesis,  we built a rough exterior of loose surfaces which were held together at the centre by loops of cord. Assuming the cord was of very high strength, it held the pieces firmly, while repeating its loops to form a hammock like interior in the centre. Changing the arrangement of loops alters the form of the interior.
