Executive Summary

By upholstering a car's interior with silicone "skin" featuring realistic textures and color-changing properties under sunlight, TBWA\Eleven has created a striking "Sunburnt Car" to provoke public reflection on the risks of UV exposure while driving.

Analytical Insights

  • Australian creative agency TBWA\Eleven, in collaboration with creature effects designers Odd Studio, has enveloped a car's interior with highly realistic silicone "human skin," including the dashboard, panels, and seats, showcasing an unprecedented creative fusion.
  • The "Sunburnt Car" features a unique material that mimics human skin, exhibiting color-changing reactions under sunlight to visually convey the damage caused by UV exposure on continuously affected surfaces.
  • This project transcends mere design experimentation; it serves as a social initiative aimed at elevating public awareness regarding the dangers of UV radiation during driving and prompting deeper consideration of health and environmental impacts.
