Renault to preview future design strategy with Ross Lovegrove

Renault will unveil a new concept car that will underline its future design direction at next month's Triennale of Milan.

The carmaker, which has released a set of teaser images, has worked alongside designer Ross Lovegrove's Lovegrove Studio to explore fresh design languages.

Lovegrove is known for his organically inspired designs and this concept will continue that theme, examining nature and its systems to raise "awareness and understanding of those phenomena and their current impact".

Renault says that Lovegrove's intention is to reveal nature's blueprints and express them in a new design language.

The six images don't give much away, but do show a number of nature-related elements, such as the flower-inspired fog lamps, green alloys and flowing rear spoiler.

Clean wave and ripple effects can also be seen, and from what we can see this promises to be a really interesting car and a milestone in Renault design.

The concept will be unveiled on 8 April and be on public display at the Triennale of Milan from 9-14 April.
