infiniti + 4 elements by flavio teixeira from portugal
designer's own words:
this work makes the connection of infiniti with the the classical elements of nature. following the principles of that theory, it is based on four elements: earth, water, air, fire. Starting with the fire, with the infinite it symbolizes the energy that comes from its hearth, the fire coming off the engine; following the earth which has a strong physical connection through the tires; the car has a permanent connection with air as well, but here it is more related to the motion, something that is made to be always moving; finally, the water has a key role (otherwise this kind of conception would be adopted for any other manufacturer) in this conception which is not connected with the car itself, but connected with the infiniti’s philosophy based on curves.
