In this article, Moss and Fog explores an imaginative concept inspired by Skoda’s inflatable car design. The idea of 'puffy automobiles' proposes a whimsical, soft exterior for cars that would replace the usual hard, metal bodies. While such a design would be highly impractical for everyday use, it offers a vision of vehicles with a safer, more pedestrian-friendly approach to automotive design. The soft, quilted look could make cars feel more like inflatable structures, giving them a bouncy castle-like aesthetic. The article imagines how several popular cars might look with this approach, including the Porsche 911, Subaru Crosstrek, Ford Maverick, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Mini Cooper, and Toyota Sienna. The exploration offers a fun, futuristic glimpse at what might be possible in a world where car exteriors are rethought for comfort, safety, and even visual appeal. The article is inspired by designs seen on Yanko Design, blending automotive innovation with playful aesthetics.
