The zaZen concept car form Rinspeed AG, Switzerland, picked up two awards at the recent Materialica trade fair in Munich for material applications, surface technology and product engineering. In their work on the car's interior design, Strähle and Hess from Germany transferred conventional coating processes for wood to textiles, taking into account the need for drape. The unsaturated polyester coating allows textile surface decorations with different tactile properties to be harmonised in a single interior design concept. The flawless implementation enables greater individuality and flexibility when designing automotive interiors. The second prize went to its Makrolon roof. The one-piece, transparent roof dome stretches from the A-pillar to the rear panel. The transparent polycarbonat sheet also functions as a surface for the third brake light which is projected onto a holographically treated film by two lasers. This creates the impression that the light appears from nowhere. The special customised transparent polycarbonate film that carries 3M's reflective film comes from the Bayer Makrofol/Bayfol product range.
