The interior design of the Ellypse concept car was my first project for Renault. The description and images are from the official press release.

"The interior design features a deliberately minimalist style in harmony with the non-aggressive exterior design. The shape of the dashboard leads onto the floor to create a gentle wave form that supports the four seats. Ellypse is equipped with slim seats that maximize the interior space. Comfort is provided by the combination of soft fabric with memory foam padding. All four seats can recline flush with the floor to provide a resting area. The interior also features the Touch Design concept, thanks to which technology becomes simple and inviting for the user. Touch Design is built around a series of contrasts between simple shapes and technology "hubs" grouping the different functions. Often playful, the intuitive interfaces make for efficient and pleasant operation."
