01 / THE STORY
History & context
The Landwind Yao, the perfect combination of Italian elegance and urban modernity, aims to create a brand new image. Yao is a research project to create an SUV with refined taste, a new character and a new identity for the LandWind brand. The first details that catch the eye are the grill and the headlights. The grille is functional to the traditional engine and its need for air. The grill is abundant, inspired by modern geometric patterns, sign of technological and innovative elements of design. DRL lights characterize the upper section of the front end and are placed just under the bonnet. The main lights are almost hidden, looking like air intakes dazzling when turned on. The night design is one of the key points. In this vehicle, lighting is obviously part of the car, but also of the new brand image. This is why we chose to show its distinctive character and, at night, to give key and distinctive features to the lights. This was the first project for GFG Style on a large-series car that touches a very widespread topic, such as SUVs, but the team work between GFG Style and LandWind Styling Center, that spent 6 months in Italy for the collaboration, aimed not only at designing new shapes for a product but a completely new and distinctive brand identity for their future cars.
