LEVC L380 — red bespoke variant with rear cabin open

SVILUPPO CABINA BESPOKE

Sviluppo di due proposte bespoke per la cabina posteriore del LEVC L380, concepite come interni premium orientati alla produzione per veicoli reali da esposizione. Il progetto si è concentrato sulla traduzione di idee complesse per la cabina posteriore in soluzioni interior risolte, bilanciando comfort, privacy, integrazione funzionale e raffinamento visivo all'interno di uno spazio fortemente vincolato. Al centro del lavoro vi è stato lo sviluppo di un'architettura divisoria raffinata, capace di integrare molteplici funzioni in un unico elemento coerente e di definire due interpretazioni distinte dell'esperienza del passeggero posteriore. Presentato da LEVC come parte della reveal degli interni del L380 nell'aprile 2024, il progetto ha fatto parte della nuova fase elettrica del marchio.

LEVC L380 — both bespoke variants on display

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

LEVC L380 — both bespoke variants, full vehicle exterior

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

All'interno del team di interior design, il mio ruolo si è concentrato sullo sviluppo del divisorio posteriore e sulla sua integrazione con i montanti laterali, il tetto e il pavimento, così come sulla risoluzione delle principali funzioni contenute in tale architettura. Questo ha incluso vetro privacy, integrazione display, bocchette elettroniche, componenti audio, storage superiore, moduli di servizio scorrevoli, refrigerazione centrale, maniglie laterali, vano ombrello con drenaggio, battitacco illuminati e la struttura inferiore in alluminio con integrazione HVAC e illuminazione.

Process

Sviluppo concettuale di team, definizione dell'architettura della cabina posteriore, raffinamento 3D, studi di packaging e meccanismi, coordinamento con l'ingegneria, integrazione funzionale e sviluppo di dettagli bespoke per l'implementazione su veicolo reale.
