LEVC L380 — red bespoke variant with rear cabin open

BESPOKE CABIN DEVELOPMENT

Development of two bespoke rear cabin proposals for the LEVC L380, conceived as premium, production-oriented interiors for real show vehicles. The project focused on translating complex rear-cabin ideas into resolved interior solutions, balancing comfort, privacy, functional integration and visual refinement within a highly constrained space. At the centre of the work was the development of a refined divider architecture integrating multiple features into one coherent element, helping define two distinct interpretations of the rear passenger experience. Presented by LEVC as part of the L380 interior reveal in April 2024, the project formed part of the brand's new electric chapter.

Two bespoke interpretations

LEVC L380 — red and blue variant rear cabin interiors

Two bespoke L380 variants were developed to explore different rear-cabin experiences. One focused on a more executive lounge layout with a rotating central seat and work-oriented table solution, while the other introduced functions more related to storage, luggage and hospitality.

Divider and main architecture

LEVC L380 — rear divider with display, modules and service compartments

The core of the work focused on the full development of the rear divider, including its connection to the side pillars, roof and floor, as well as the integration of all major functions within one single architectural element. The divider had to resolve privacy, communication, media, storage, ventilation, hospitality and access within a highly restricted space and with a clearly production-oriented approach.

Integrated functions

LEVC L380 — rear divider with annotated function callouts

From top to bottom, the divider integrated variable privacy glass, display, electronically controlled vents, audio system, upper drawers for personal objects, sliding side modules, central bottle and glass refrigeration, side access handles, umbrella system with drainage, and a lower aluminium part connecting the divider to the floor while integrating HVAC and lighting.

Sliding modules and hospitality functions

LEVC L380 — sliding service modules with tea, storage and refrigeration

The lower modules were developed as functional islands sliding on floor rails, allowing different usage layouts. Depending on the variant, they integrated work-related functions, personal storage, tea service, shoe storage and refrigerated bottle and glass presentation.

Details shaped by real use

LEVC L380 — illuminated treadplate, umbrella and side entry details

Beyond the main architecture, several smaller but technically sensitive components were developed as part of the complete rear cabin experience, including illuminated treadplates, side access handles, the umbrella with leather upper retention and lower drainage, and the integration of ambient lighting and HVAC within the lower aluminium structure.

Bespoke storage and travel solution

LEVC L380 — red variant rear access with luggage storage

One of the variants explored a more travel-oriented concept, integrating storage, luggage and hospitality functions within a highly personalised rear cabin.

Executive lounge configuration

LEVC L380 — blue variant rear with luggage compartment

The second variant focused on a more executive configuration, combining a refined atmosphere with work-oriented functions and a more private lounge-like experience.

Built and exhibited

Both bespoke L380 vehicles were fully developed and presented as real, production-oriented show vehicles, turning the project into a built and tangible proof of concept rather than a purely digital proposal.

My Contribution

Within the interior design team, my role focused on the development of the rear divider and its integration with the side pillars, roof and floor, as well as the resolution of the main functions contained within that architecture. This included privacy glass, display integration, electronic vents, audio components, upper storage, sliding service modules, central refrigeration, side handles, umbrella storage with drainage, illuminated treadplates, and the lower aluminium structure integrating HVAC and lighting.

Process

Team-based concept development, rear cabin architecture definition, 3D refinement, packaging and mechanism studies, engineering coordination, functional integration and bespoke detail development for real vehicle implementation.
