We studied the character of our client Billy Karam and we noticed that he has a passion for cars. So we have gone through the basic approach of how cars have been designed. We noticed that one of the fundamental aspects of designing the cars is aerodynamics. So we choose to come up with the same concept of free flowing aerodynamic approach for our design.

After seeing his two storied display of miniature cars we got hint of how we want to design and dragged some materialistic similarities and concepts that we could incorporate in our furniture design as well. And we also have come up with two locations where we wanted to showcase our collector with in his museum.
