Podcasting Interiors - Younger buyers' penchant for portable personal electronics is starting to impact future interior designs

摘要

If one can deduce directly from concept cars displayed at September's Frankfurt auto show, interiors of the future will have Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports to transfer all sorts of personal information and music. The Paris show a year ago had only two concept cars that were not stalking horses for a forthcoming product, but the Frankfurt auto show featured a number of "traditional" concept cars, those that express new ideas and seek a reaction from the public and press. And where more than one set of future-thinking designers comes up with the same idea, a potential trend is born. In Frankfurt, concept interior trends beyond memory sticks and USB ports included treating passengers more individually, modular rear seats for one or two occupants and Neoprene as an interior material.
