Artist Takes Inspiration From SL Interior

Emmanuel P November 26, 2012

Having established herself as an artist who recycles different objects to be repurposed into furniture, Thompson set her sights on turning a Mercedes SL’s interior into office-worthy furnishings.

Mercedes-Benz’s new SL has picked up yet another award in recognition of its groundbreaking advances in the car’s design.

To negate these compromises as much as possible, Mercedes has developed  its Frontbass sound system. Initially available only for the SL-class, the Frontbass system is the… Continue Reading »

Ryan Joseph Ramos April 30, 2012

Many were wowed by the ‘Magic Sky Control’ self-tinting sunroof feature of the ever-innovative SL-Class, and now Mercedes-Benz wants to apply this same technology to the other window panels in its vehicles so that drivers and passengers can shade over their windows any time they need or want to.

There are many interesting applications that could be derived from the main automatic tinting function. For… Continue Reading »
