Volvo C40: pictured from the top is the Topgraphy inlay, a sample of the Fjord Blue colour, and the carpet.

Komal Singh and Rekha Meena from the colour and material team inspect a selection of different materials and colours used in the Volvo C40.

The Volvo C40’s wool textile upholstery is inspired by Scandinavian living, says Rekha Meena, senior design manager, colour and material: "The rooms in Swedish houses are usually characterised by a cosy and warm feeling, and we tried to recreate this feeling using wool."

The Volvo C40 repeats the XC40’s ‘uncluttering’ approach, providing smart and thoughtful ways to store all important belongings within arm’s length. On the side of the tunnel console, the carpet – made of recycled PET plastic bottles – extends up from the floor.

The graphics on the Volvo C40’s dashboard and front door panels are directly inspired by the Abisko national park in Sweden, as seen in this comparison. The contours of a topography map of the park were traced and used to create an abstract digitalised design with a layered pattern. Backlit by LED lamps, it creates an atmospheric three-dimensional effect.
