A couple of weeks ago, we extensively spoke about CMF, driving User Experience within the vehicle. CMF contains of course M, M for Materials. Nowadays, Materials for the future means Sustainable Materials, that’s the topic of this edition’s In-Depth. PET bottles, Seaqual yarn, Green Electricity made, bio-fabricated, recycled materials, etc., we see the industry, OEMs, Tiers, shooting in all directions to identify the best recipe. We are not there yet, but it reflects all the endeavor of the different players. DVN will keep informing our members about all these developments.
The constant evolution of these materials, in parallel with financials, societal matters, and ethics is rapidly affecting our everyday lives and car interiors is reflecting it. This week Coffee Corner explains how it influences Design, being not about aesthetics, but a complex synthesis of technical and economic factors that will, at the end, have an aesthetic appearance. Good design is when there is coherence between the two. More to come!
In the meantime, don’t forget to register for the DVN Interior Deep Dive in San Francisco on August 29/30.
Sincerely yours,
