This is an excerpt from my car seat de-velopment work done in Vehicle Interior Design at the Advanced Global Design Centre of GM, North America for my Final Diploma project ( internship) from May 2008 to November 2008.
The material explored is felt with Polyfil inserts.The swatch was made on a table top hand stitching m/c of my room mate in Mchigan.
The objective of the development was to provide not only cushioned comfort and aesthetics but also to render padded accupressure points for the passengers during the long bumpy rides on the roads of rural Russia.
I had also forecasted & designed a few car seat prints that I had developed for Chevy Vehicles.
