Cars have evolved far beyond simple transportation, becoming mobile offices, entertainment centers and quiet retreats from the chaos of daily life. Fengrui Wang’s Xiaomi Flowing Oasis concept, developed as a thesis project at TU Delft, reimagines the vehicle interior as a modular, user-customizable sanctuary.
This concept design draws inspiration from Xiaomi’s IoT ecosystem and warm-tech philosophy. The Flowing Oasis envisions a future where car interiors are constructed with modular bases and adjustable connectors that accommodate products of various sizes. Users become active participants in shaping their environment through what Wang calls co-idea creation, where the cabin adapts to personal habits, moods and daily routines.
The modular system includes small, medium and large bases with flexible connectors, allowing users to install everything from entertainment modules to wellness accessories, depending on their needs. The concept treats the car as a flowing, adaptable environment that changes as the user’s life changes, rather than a fixed space.
The concept leverages the potential of IoT connectivity to create seamless integration between the car and the user’s connected life. Drawing from Xiaomi’s ecosystem approach, the Flowing Oasis would theoretically sync with a user’s smart home, wearables and mobile devices to anticipate their needs and preferences.
