Seat L3on2049 - Clay Model photos

Here are some previously unpublished photos of the clay model of my project developet at Seat Design Centre in Barcelona.

Phase 1: unfortunately there are no photos of the inicial phase of clay modelling. A basic 3D model was developed and milled on the clay.

Phase 2: after milling was finished, it was evident that it needed work, so I started making changes on the right side of the model, leaving the left side with its original shape.

Phase 3: after all changes were made, the shutlines were defined and we took the model to the paintshop for primer.

Phase 4: matte paint was chosen to simulate aerodynamic micro recesses (like a golf ball) and to give the car a more "product design" feel.

Alfa Romeo SZ

I couldn't resist to reinterpret the design of one of my all-time favourites, the Alfa Romeo SZ -- The Monster that disappointed almost every car design critic but managed to shape Alfa Romeo's design guidelines so strongly that its influence can still be detected to this day.

So let me share my first sketch of my SZ with you. Hope you like it! :)

Seat IB roadster

Here is the  ^ibroadster, my latest project.

What started out as a mere sketch excercise became a stand-alone design with its own process.

The IBr is a two-seater with agressive/dynamic lines. Some of the design features are consistent with Seat's attitude, like the arrowface and the dynamic line. The triangular shaped headlights with a divided solid are inspired by the IBe Concept.
The top has a black glossy finish to accentuate the body's stance.

The rear also reveals some Seat features -- the design of the taillights are a reinterpretation of that of the Ibiza's and the IBZ concept. The Arrowface feature is repeated, giving shape to the rear bumper.

this is a little something I'm working on. More to come very soon. ;)
