GAC Time

The Chinese minimalism - white space

About GAC Time Concept

GAC Time is a fully electric luxury concept car designed and revealed by GAC in 2021 at Guangzhou autoshow. By using the element of emptiness, We've created a mobile living room that can slow down the time, letting user feel time has slowed down in this fast pace era. Giving a room a portion of white empty space helps people to focus on their inner self.

My Participation

I am very glad to be a part of the design development of the GAC Time. I learned a lot of knowledge from my colleagues in different apartments at GAC. It was an awesome experience to me.

I mainly worked on the interior design and visualization. From the layout and theme exploration at the early stage, to the component and detail design, I worked on many different areas.

Visualizations

non-official developmental stage renders

The path of the design development is heavily effected by how we visualize it in real life. Part of my job is to work with other interior designers and CMF designers delivering authentic visualizations. Everything in this web page is materialized and rendered by me.

Components design & modeling

I designed many components in the GAC Time concept. I start my explorations with pencil sketches. Then make models using blender. Pictures below are the showcases of some of many parts that I designed.

I designed and modeled the right hand side floating IP that is made of wood, decorated with metal trim and natural elements.

Procedural floor part that reflect light like water

I brought and implemented the idea of infinity mirror into the interior. This part here is the center of rear seat back.

I designed and modeled this rear center spine above the rear interior deck.
This unique and detailed design feature is the focal point when you look at the car from behind.

Working along CMF designers

I also work along CMF Designers to come up with couple CMF variations.
