At this years Paris Motor Show, we noticed the rise of the importance of the Color and
Trim Designer, sometimes also known as the Color, Material and Finish (CMF) Designer.
Here at Allegorithmic we share this passion for materials, so here is an ode to the
materials at the 2016 Paris Motor Show

Renault Trezor

This is probably the most exciting show car for this edition of the Paris Motor Show.
Awesome sketches, dramatic proportions and a dream team of designers: Mathilde
Bancon and Fanny Serouart, Color and Trim Design; Yann Jarsalle, Exterior Design;
Laurent Negroni, Interior Design; Stephane Janin; Director of Concept Cars and Laurens
van den Acker; Senior VP of Renault Groups corporate design.

Two things caught our attention: First, the treatment of the exterior with the alveolar
pattern flowing on the body of the car. Very difficult to achieve, this flowing pattern is
really part of the signature of the car. Even more exciting are the alveolar moving parts
on the cars hood. Second, the red interiors mixing of leather, wood and metal. As part
of the "Love" branch of Renault Showcar, red is key in the color and trim of the Trezor,
as it was previously on the Dezir, the previous Love showcar.

Mercedes EQ

This year, Mercedes wants to make the electric car synonymous with electric blue for
Color and Trim Designers. The connection with the world of electronic devices is also
pretty obvious: Glossy black plastic, LCD screen, and backlighted plastics.

VW ID

Another EV concept car at Volkswagen, the motto here is consistency from exterior to
interior. You will find matching and repeating motifs, materials and colors from seats to
dashboard. It is pretty rare to see such consistency inside a showcar. Transparency and
translucency are used with great alchemy from rooftop to the VW logo itself. This is
maybe not the most exuberant but for sure a very well-done exercise delivered by

Citroen CXPERIENCE

More than the exterior, we were charmed by the Citroen CXPERIENCE CONCEPT
interior. The unusual citrus color for the fabrics combined with the very detailed laser-
cut pattern on the wood demonstrated Citroens willingness to distinguish itself from its
peers through use of materials. Here we are closer to a furniture design company than a
automotive one.

Peugeot Fractal

While the Peugeot Fractal isnt brand-new (it was released last year at the Frankfurt
Autoshow), it is still a very powerful manifestation of the Peugeot brand and shape
language. This is one of the most exciting uses of graphics based on matte and glossy.
Roughness is key when we talk about material behavior, and the Fractal demonstrates
it like no other!

DS5 Custom

Like any other luxury brand, DS Automobiles presents its new customization services
with the DS 5 Commande Speciale. From the exterior, we loved this deep purple car
paint with an amazing flake density. We also noticed the attention to the detail present
in the interior design: the metal pattern stamped on the gearshift echoes the leather
motif of the seats, while the leather stitching of the dashboard is as finely detailed as
