This fascinating futuristic Mercedes Blitzen Benz concept art was inspired by the original 1909 Blitzen Benz and the frozen themed art of Alex Erlandson. Erlandson's art was created by making "sculputres" out of trees that were grown into odd shapes. As far as concept cars go, one might consider this one to be a futuristic frozen art form.
Pasadena Art Center College of Design student George Yoo, created these fantastic icy concept designs while working at the Mercedes-Benz research and development center in Carlsbad, California.
Implications - Before creating the concept cars, George Yoo asked himself, "what if automotive parts were to be grown and tamed to hold certain shapes?" Out of this question, the wildly futuristic Mercedes concept was born.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Frozen Concept Automobiles
- Creating concept automobiles that combine futuristic design with frozen themed art could become a new trend in the automotive industry.
- Natural Sculpture Influenced Designs
- Using the concept of natural sculptures to influence the design of cars can lead to innovative and eco-friendly designs in the automotive industry.
- Shape-taming Techniques in Automotive Part Manufacturing
- Incorporating shape-taming techniques while manufacturing automotive parts can enable the production of unconventional designs offering a unique selling point in the automotive industry.
Sectors Adopting This
- Automotive Design
- The automotive design industry can incorporate frozen themed designs and natural sculptures inspired by the concept art to create futuristic concept cars.
- Industrial Design
- Industrial designers can use shape-taming techniques while designing products to create unique and unconventional designs.
- Art and Sculpture
- The art and sculpture industry can explore the concept of shaping the growth of natural materials and developing frozen-themed art forms, leading to a new category of art and sculpture forms.
