Interior surfaces - inspired by nature and sea waves receding on a beach - flow seamlessly through the cabin. It is a motif featured on the seats and carried through in other trim components - even the carpet. In fact, a patterned insert for the carpet carries the motif in silk and bamboo. "There's an almost-three-dimensional or bas-relief effect to the design motif that adds depth and heightens the sense of place," said Wetzel. "Layered and floating elements such as the center console enhance the perception of lightness, efficiency and dynamism." A color palette of light and natural tones blended with oiled and buffed wood trim, and Galvano satin-chrome accents, enhance the Avenir's ambience. "They're rich, premium materials and warm colors innovatively executed to enhance the soothing effect of the interior environment," said Wetzel. Functionality is manifested in the Avenir's device-integration technologies, which are designed to lift the user's mood and make the details associated with daily life a little easier. It starts the moment the vehicle is started, synchronizing information and devices within seconds. The Avenir instantly configures gauge cluster and infotainment screen displays based on prior customization while also recognizing the user's music preferences, calendar schedule and recently visited locations from a cellphone's GPS. It can even pick up a podcast the user was listening to at the moment it was interrupted. Buick's user experience designers are also pushing the Avenir's technologies for home integration, which would allow accessing home security cameras or the capability of turning on outside lights and closing a garage door that was inadvertently left open. "The Avenir's integration features build on the technologies already available or coming soon in smartphones and streamline them in a system that makes accessing and interacting with them easier," said Wetzel. Personal connectivity extends to rear-seat passengers, where USB ports and video screens allow occupants to plug in to their favorite media and slip into complete relaxation, arriving at their destination refreshed and rejuvenated. "The use of color, material, form and amenities can affect a person's mood and feeling," said Wetzel. "The Avenir is a showcase of thoughtful and modern design with the capacity to anticipate and facilitate the personal needs of its occupants. It's absolutely its own getaway destination." << Prev Page 2 of 2 |
