Sculptures of Mercedes-Benz Aesthetics 125

Exactly 125 years back, Karl Benz registered his “vehicle with gas-engine drive” under patent number 37435 with the Berlin Patent Office. To commemorate the occasion, Mercedes-Benz has officially unveiled a stunning sculpture dubbed “Aesthetics 125,” which has been designed to depict the brand’s philosophy that says that “design is art.”

The sculpture combines “elements of an automobile’s interior and exterior by means of sweeping, almost soaring shape transitions.” Mercedes designers made the model using the innovative rapid-prototyping technology, which allows digital data to be transferred directly to a design object.

The statement released by the company says…

“The technology works with various materials and applies them in fine layers so that no waste material is produced when a sculpture is created.”

To date, 30 million Mercedes-Benz have been delivered to customers since 1945. As part of the anniversary celebrations, Mercedes F-Cell vehicles will tour around the globe in 125 days.
