Ford Motor Company is the first auto manufacturer to participate in the world’s leading furniture design show – Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan…
Ford showed a special design collection – including a bespoke chair, lamp and watch – infused with the company’s unique design DNA and influenced by furniture and fashion trends. The Ford Design Futuring Team, led by Erika Tsubaki, has collaborated with the company’s leading designers from around the world to create designs, which were on display at the Ford Design Lounge at the show.
New colours Burnished Glow and Tectonic Silver, introduced last year, reflect a trend towards subtle luxury, a feeling embodied by premium Italian fashion brands. High series Titanium versions of the new B-MAX feature sophisticated fabrics inspired by classic Savile Row tailoring. The inspirations for trim and colour palettes are drawn from such diverse sources as furnishings, make-up and jewellery.
The Ford design DNA is also influenced by technological developments and trends online and in social media. The all-new Ford EcoSport will be among the first Ford vehicles in Europe to offer SYNC AppLink that will enable customers to control smartphone apps from the driver’s seat as part of the Ford SYNC voice-activated in-car connectivity system.
