The central motif and theme of Arius is the ‘kissing-seat’ inside, where the driver and passenger sit side by side, but facing in different directions to each other.

South Korean designer Shin describes “the interior and exterior has been designed under the concept of ‘bending space.’” with the interior having “sheets in crossed directions to allow oneself and the other person to gaze in different directions”.

Arius scored the highest in the student designer category for an ‘attractive and green aesthetic’.
