HRS BY STARCK is an ultra-modern refueling station designed with the very essence of hydrogen in mind to put a transparent aesthetic in the spotlight.
Designed by French designer Philippe Starck for Hydrogen Refueling Solutions, the station has a mirrored finish on the main body alongside a see-through section where drivers can see the internal workings. This puts nothing in the spotlight to convey the clean nature of hydrogen and takes an ultra-artistic approach to the process of refueling a vehicle.
Starck himself commented on the HRS BY STARCK saying, "Hydrogen is clean; it is nothingness, an ether. It is obvious that the HRS BY STARCK hydrogen refueling stations had to be dematerialized. No style or design, for an object that has already disappeared like everything intelligent that exists.”
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Transparent Hydrogen Refueling Stations
- An innovative trend in the automotive industry is the use of see-through sections in refueling stations to showcase the clean nature of hydrogen.
- Ultra-modern Design in Refueling Stations
- There is a growing trend in the industry for refueling stations to adopt an ultra-modern and artistic approach to convey the process of refueling a vehicle.
- Dematerialized Hydrogen Refueling Stations
- A disruptive trend in the renewable energy sector is the development of hydrogen refueling stations with a mirrored finish and no visible design, reflecting the ethereal quality of hydrogen.
Sectors Adopting This
- Automotive
- Transparent refueling stations are creating opportunities for automakers to showcase the clean nature of hydrogen fuel in a visually appealing way.
- Design
