Mercedes-Benz Style

Design aside the road.

In addition to their classic vehicle design activities, designers at Mercedes-Benz have also been designing products for the mobility, lifestyle and interior design sectors since 2010 in cooperation with selected partners under the Mercedes-Benz Style label. The objective is to transfer the brand with the star's unmistakable, progressive design idiom and high aspirations in terms of luxury and aesthetics to other areas of life. Some examples:

Luxury motorised yacht „Arrow460–Granturismo“

Automotive design links inspiring and emotional shapes with aspects such as functionality and ergonomics like no other area of design. Mercedes-Benz designers at Mercedes-Benz Style have transferred exactly this to marine vessel design. The objective was to make vehicles' modern luxury tangible on modern luxury motorised yachts. However, cars and vessels have different proportions (which is obvious from the side view) and their demands in terms of using the available space on the inside are also completely different. The toughest challenge was to assess and modify the existing vessel design so as to create a completely new experience of travel on water. For this purpose, designers took the sculptured beauty of the vessel hull and linked it to a new usage concept and functionalities in terms of using the available space. This concept is known as "Granturismo". With the new luxury motorised yacht, Mercedes-Benz Style and the cooperation partner Silver Arrows Marine are targeting an international pool of customers, such as confident individualists with the highest demands and a distinguished taste for the Mercedes-Benz brand.

Design and equipment of VIP aircraft cabins

Dynamic architecture instead of classic cabin design: the classic separation of ceiling, walls and floor has been completely replaced by a dynamic, spiral layout as part of the joint approach by Lufthansa Technik and Mercedes-Benz Style. It gives rise to new, self-contained spatial zones without the typical arrangement of seat and wall elements normally found in aircraft. The new sense of space is additionally reinforced by Mercedes' typical, intense use of contrast when it comes to materials, colours and lighting. The entire design is informed by the aesthetics of the Mercedes-Benz brand's modern luxury. With this innovative equipment concept Mercedes-Benz Style and Lufthansa Technik are targeting private customers around the world with a distinguished taste for unique design. Lufthansa Technik is contributing its many decades of experience in individual VIP and VVIP aircraft to bring the unique design in line with the special requirements of aircraft cabins.
