A modern twist from the automobile\u2019s interior designer, David Stingl, the 2+2 seating setup in the cabin makes the space inside flexible. The front seats can merge and become a bench, so there\u2019s nothing hindering between the driver and the front passenger, while the riders at the back can feel as if they were in a theater with the cinema-style tip-up chairs. The upgraded \u0160koda 1000 MBX car can then easily transform from a two-seater coupe into a cargo vehicle without adding or removing anything from the ride.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>David Stingl explains that when the rear seats are folded upwards, there\u2019s sufficient space for luggage, or even a bicycle or other sports equipment. <\/span><span>\u2018The concept car even features air suspension, allowing the ground clearance to be adjusted: low for a sporty stance or high for tackling rough paths and easier cargo loading,\u2019 <\/span>he adds.<span> If the passengers look around, they can notice that the side panels at the door have plus and minus buttons. When pressed, the windows ascend and descend, a design element that steers away from the typical push button.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>all images courtesy of \u0160koda<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">dashboard with glass-covered oval module and projection<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Still inside the \u0160koda 1000 MBX car, the dashboard comes with a glass-covered oval module into which images are projected, courtesy of the interior designer David Stingl. The oval shape appears throughout the cabin, from the steering wheel to the headrests. It is a direct reference to the company\u2019s original sedan, 1000 MB, which was produced briefly in the 1960s. In the upgraded one, the central console is still absent, but the chrome accents, which were alive in the original model, now come through as clean graphics highlighted by ambient lighting. The silhouettes inside the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skoda-auto.com\/world\/range\">vehicle<\/a><span> are reminiscent of the sharp lines found in brutalist architecture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>That is, in fact, an influential visual element for the design team, more visible on the exterior designed by Antti Mikael Savio. Here, the designer admits to studying several buildings and objects in that style and incorporating it whenever he can. The vehicle subtly nods at some of the features from the previous model, including the raised headlamps above the bonnet line, the character crease along the flanks halfway up the sides, and the distinctive C-pillar treatment. The rear seat, however, has no windows to make extra cargo space and give the vehicle a sportier and more compact look. Instead of a window, there\u2019s a rearview camera replacing it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>instead of a rear window, there\u2019s a rearview camera replacing it<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">A brief design recap of the 1960s \u0160koda 1000 MB<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Revisiting the 1960s \u0160koda 1000 MB, the sedan that the designers based their \u0160koda 1000 MBX car on, was the first \u0160koda car with a self-supporting body and a new aluminum engine block made by pressure casting. The two-door version, called the 1000 MBX, started production in 1966 and had frameless doors and no B-pillar, which gave the vehicle a more open look. In 1968, \u0160koda released another model, the 1100 MBX, with a 1,107-cc engine producing 52 horsepower. Production was small, with only a few cars built each day. In total, \u0160koda made 2,517 units before production ended in 1969, making the 1000 MBX and especially the 1100 MBX version rare to find.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Fast forward to today, \u0160koda designers Antti Mikael Savio (exterior) and David Stingl (interior) create a modern and conceptual version of the \u0160koda 1000 MBX car. It forms part of a series called Icons Get a Makeover, where \u0160koda designers reimagine classic cars from the company\u2019s history. It is a collection of design studies that are not meant for production, and for the 1000 MBX model, the designers worked on it for about a month: Antti focused on the exterior, starting with sketches made on paper, while David worked on the digital 3D model, shaping the car\u2019s inside first and then adding details to the overall structure. The resulting concept car has the look of a modern crossover, combining a strong structure with usable space. Antti wanted the new version to look sporty but still friendly, while David focused on keeping the car\u2019s original meaning: a stylish, functional car for everyday life.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>the 2+2 seating setup in the modern \u0160koda 1000 MBX car makes the space inside flexible<\/p>\n<p>there are foldable cinema-style seats for the back passengers<\/p>\n<p>when the back seats are folded up, users can fit their bikes and other equipment there<\/p>\n<p>the dashboard comes with glass-covered oval module and projection<\/p>\n<p>the upgraded vehicle has a sportier and more compact look<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>Antti Mikael Savio (left, exterior) and David Stingl (right, interior) designed the concept vehicle<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>project info:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>name:<span> 1000 MBX<\/span><\/p>\n<p>company: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skoda-auto.com\/world\/range\"><span>\u0160koda<\/span><\/a><span> | <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/skodagram\"><span>@skodagram<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>interior design and architecture: <span>David Stingl | <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/davidstingl\/\"><span>@davidstingl<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>exterior design:<span> Antti Mikael Savio<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/technology\/foldable-cinema-style-seats-bike-bags-modern-skoda-1000-mbx-car-10-28-2025\/\">foldable cinema-style seats let users fit their bike and bags in modern \u0161koda 1000 MBX car<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>cinema-style seats inside modern \u0161koda 1000 MBX car \u00a0 The modern concept \u0160koda 1000 MBX car comes with foldable cinema-style seats that allow users to fit their bike, gears, and luggage in the passenger seat. &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[142],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.7 -
