<< Prev Page 3 of 3  Applying this approach to the iconic estate car - which is the essence of versatile Volvo functionality - creates a car that is both beautiful and different.The generous dash to axle ratio, low hood, sleek silhouette and the glass roof all contribute to the impression of a dynamic, yet capable three-door sports wagon. The contrast between the deep, dark brown pear color and the bright, five-spoke, 21-inch wheels contributes to the modern, cool aura. Just like the recent Concept Coupé and the Concept XC Coupé, the face of the Volvo Concept Estate is characterized by a new topography on the hood and the "floating" grille, flanked by headlights featuring new T-shaped DRL light guides. The rear light signature is another distinctive element in Volvo Cars' new design direction. Extrovert and colorful trends within contemporary Swedish lifestyle and design have been powerful sources of inspiration for the design team. Occupants in all four seats are embraced by orange seat belts, and the exclusive, woven wool carpets from the Swedish designer Kasthall have the same deep accent color. The crystal gear leaver from Orrefors/Kosta Boda also has an orange glow, while the checkered black and white wool textile on the headliner and rear sides of the front seats adds playfulness to the "room." "Creativity is thriving in Swedish society. This includes design and technology as well as the fashion, music and art scene. We have used all this as inspiration to create a new, exciting way to express Sweden's soul," says Ingenlath. Refined, handcrafted details, such as an instrument panel covered by thick, naturally tanned saddle leather from TärnsjÖ, inlays made of waxed, naturally aged wood and machined copper details, also emphasize the exclusive Swedish atmosphere inside Concept Estate. "The interior is exceptionally vivid. Yet the glass roof and seats covered by light, soft Bridge of Wear leather help to retain that bright and cozy feeling that is the hallmark of a Swedish living room. A place that makes you feel so comfortable that you are reluctant to leave," says Page. The ambiance might inspire occupants to stop for a picnic and game of Swedish "kubb." The specially designed game set is visible through the load floor in the back. "Don't know the rules? No problem. They are printed on the transparent floor. And rain is no excuse. You will find exclusive Stutterheim raincoats in the back of the car as well," explains Page. << Prev Page 3 of 3 |
