Tangible Absence






Francesco Binaggia & Lida Marinkova





The way we live today is very much dictated by digital communication, which extends and empowers our relationships.
It is set to develop exponentially and grow more sophisticated in the foreseeable future.
However, the manner in which it causes us to communicate disguises the underlying erosion of the physical essence in many 
inter-personal relationships - something we subconsciously don’t realize.
According to the Power of singularity theory by Ray Kurzweil, in the nearly future technology will became not tangible anymore: 
computers will be so compact that they can enter in our cells.
In a scenario constantly filtered by techology, people will have tendency to forget pure and simple feelings;
The vehicle uses a self-balancing Segway technology and is characterized by an architectural ‘nest’ designed to re-discover 
genuine and simple sensory sensations; for a new analog life experience.
THE NEW LUXURY IS TO BE DISCONNECTED.





Panda Hug Interior - 1:4 Scaled Model




Sponsored by Fiat
*exterior design by Ji Won Yun



ENGLISH:

The interior is characterized by a layout composed by three front seats and a back memory foam layer, which is electronically adjustable and it allows to have three different main configurations: kids area (play and comfortable area), free time (large cargo area) and lounge time (additional armchair).
The dashboard and the seat backrests are characterized by a “tube concept”, or rather by a structural tube and a knitted fabric, that is removable to be easily washable and interchangeable.
The interface of the dashboard is minimal and essential to exclude any visual distraction to the driver: there is no button and display, to maximize the practicality and to obtain a no thoughts drive”.
The tube of the dashboard is entirely touch control, and includes functions of air control, navi and radio, that are selectable depending on hand gesture, with different combinations between fingers and pressure.
The small cockpit can slide along the tube to allow the steering wheel exchange among the passengers of the first row in a simple and natural way, for a pure enjoyable driving sharing.
  

ITALIANO:

L’interno è caratterizzato da un impostazione a 3 sedute anteriori e da un memory foam layer posteriore, che è elettronicamente aggiustabile e consente tre differenti configurazioni principali: kids area (zona confortevole per gioco), free time (ampio vano carico) e lounge time (poltrona aggiuntiva),
La plancia e gli schienali sono caratterizzati dal tube concept,  ovvero da un “Tubo” strutturale (che nella plancia include le bocchette d’aria) e da un tessuto cucito, facilmente rimovibile, lavabile in lavatrice e intercambiabile.
L’interfaccia della plancia è di impronta minimale per escludere qualunque distrazione visiva al guidatore,
difatti sono assenti tasti e display vari, massimizzando la praticità e una guida “senza pensieri”.
il tubo è interamente touch control, e include le funzioni di air, navi e radio, selezionabili a seconda del tipo di gesto, combinazione tra dita e pressione esercitata.
Il piccolo cockpit è scorrevole lungo il tubo e consente di interscambiare il volante tra i passeggeri della prima fila in maniera semplice e naturale.
