Design is one of the most essential elements linking a car to its OEM brand identity. The exterior design of a car has many design characteristics that identify the car’s brand identity. The windshield, roof, side windows, and rear window can distinguish a brand’s design from another.
SEKISUI S-LEC believes glazing is a huge canvas that has yet to be discovered for the world of automotive design. By bringing design options to the glazing, we can support you to deliver a more emotionally strong message or customization option to another element of the car.
At SEKISUI S-LEC, we collaborate with our design, engineering, and marketing teams to discuss market trends, user personas, behavior, and values. This repeatable process of observation and concept ideation supports our ideas for future glass design and creativity.
Using the design thinking process, we work to provide solutions for fundamental problems of designers and end-users to create value that positively impacts user experience.
