Colour and light exploration of the exterior concept. From Monica Motamedi’s supplied Concept / Render archive.

Context

What this collection holds.

This collection presents 29 supplied images around a conceptual vehicle proposal. Sketches test proportion and graphic identity; digital studies develop the form in three dimensions; clay-model photographs make the volume tangible; and final renderings explore atmosphere, colour, and lighting. Client, dates, individual role, and production status are not documented in the supplied material.

Research foundation

The thinking behind the concept.

This English edition documents the strategic foundation for an IKCO concept vehicle: brand-identity frameworks, comparative automotive-design analysis, Iranian cultural and visual references, and their translation into a usable design vocabulary. The 2017 source research is preserved, followed by a clearly identified 2026 editorial appendix connecting the work to contemporary design-system practice.
