There are many automakers that have gotten into creating lines of furniture inspired by vehicles, but Land Rover took this concept a step further with a unique car showcase in Palm Springs.
The event ties in with Modernism Week and pairs five Land Rover models with homes on the tour in a celebration of architecture and design. Each of the cars was carefully selected to match properties of the homes. For instance, a hillside home designed by O’Donnell+Escalante Architects is complimented by a vibrant Evoque that experiments with proportions. Through incredible vistas, as well as interior and exterior designs, this unique car showcase is a brilliant way to communicate the different lifestyles that each of its models caters to. As technology between houses and cars becomes more interconnected, it might not be unreasonable to see homes and automobiles sold as pairs in the future.
