The installation, a life size piece of art based on the new Range Rover
Evoque has been created specially to coincide with the Geneva Motor Show and
the reveal of the many exterior and interior design features that allow
customers to personalise their vehicles.
As the installation was revealed in
announced ‘best production car’ in the 2010 Car Design News, Car Design of
the Year awards. This highly regarded accolade is the first major
international award for the Range Rover Evoque.
Benedict’s installation focuses on the individual design elements of the
Range Rover Evoque. Building on the Range Rover Evoque wireframe design, the
installation will include 3D wheels and front and back seats, all made from
steel and painted in a rainbow of colours including lime green and neon pink.
These components are suspended within a 3D wireframe box, creating a life
size wireframe representation of the car that as well as fitting together,
can also be deconstructed to form individual stand alone pieces of art.
Benedict has played a central role in creating the wireframe concept for
Land Rover, advising on the creation of the sculptures, which have been
showcased in cities worldwide.
He said “The traditional concept of the wireframe created a huge buzz in
2010 but this is the perfect opportunity to dig a little deeper into the
intricate design detail of the Range Rover Evoque. People can’t help but get
involved with the sculptures and interact with them and I can’t wait to see
how the installation is received.”
