Air Protection Cover by Cui-Xiaofei from china

BACKGROUND OF THE WORK:
Safety Sense is the most important factor influencing our social life，particularly relevant to the car.

Usually, we use car covers for storing and protecting cars in our daily life, but it doesn’t work very effectively actually, because that is far from being let users feel peace of mind, We often worry about damage by falling objects or acts of god, especially in the city of high-rise buildings and the bad weather conditions. Otherwise, fuel shortages always spoiling us in the psychology sometimes.

According to the safety concerns that I have mentioned above, back to the essence of good design, there is nothing complex of this project, just take seeing and feeling from senses as the key words, focus on the exterior feels of our cars and the psychology of drivers. With self inflating systems and flexible solar panels provide a strong sense of safety to us. It really feels like to wear a light weight, fashionable and permanent energy body armor. That’s it.
