Volvo Cars has unveiled a unique piece of art, based on the interior of the new S90 Excellence sedan, Volvo Cars\u2019 top-of-the-line variant of the S90. The sculpture clearly illustrates how the Lounge Console could look in the new S90 Excellence, and Volvo Cars\u2019 commitment to deliver a new and exciting take on progressive luxury. \u201cWe had such positive feedback with our original Lounge Console Concept in the XC90 that we wanted to take it a step closer to reality in an S90 Excellence interior. With this interior we wanted to create a piece of art, a sculpture. We\u2019ve taken many of the original concepts and made them come to life,\u201d said Robin Page, Vice President Interior Design at Volvo Cars.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Starting at the rear, the Volvo Cars Design Team added the most comfortable seating and the supreme convenience of a centre control panel for features such as the heated\/cooled cup holder, the sound system, massage function and the large multi-media screen. The rear armrest is home to a refrigeration unit and comes complete with two hand-cut crystal glasses from Swedish glassmaker Orrefors. \u201cOne of the key elements is the removal of the front passenger seat. We removed this to provide unrestricted forward visibility and the sense of space and light that this brings. It has an immediate and extremely calming effect,\u201d said Robin Page.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The Lounge Console Concept in the S90 Excellence provides three comfortable alternatives \u2013 a mobile working station that combines a fold-out work table and large screen for checking your emails or video conferencing; a pure entertainment mode where you can catch up on your latest Netflix shows and a pure relaxation mode where you can recline your seat, take a cold drink from the fridge and relax with your feet on the heated foot support. \u201cWe do things differently at Volvo Cars \u2013 we always have. Our distinctive approach to interior design aims to deliver a luxurious and calming experience. The art of Scandinavian Design is all about enhancing the life experience, and this is what Volvo Cars does best,\u201d said Thomas Ingenlath, Senior Vice President Design at Volvo Car Group.<\/p>\n<\/div>
