I have worked in the automotive industry for more than 10 years and mastered the knowledge of automotive factory planning. I'm very interested in brand and product design. At the end of 2023, I founded "Agiling", with the company's vision of creating better human-machine interaction tools, and independently completed the design and development of the company's first product-the "Cyber ​​Yoke" steering wheel.

Attempting to find a balance between tradition and modernity, emotion and technology, art and industry

tragic and stirring

Many people have an inner self isolation, which is related to their personality and experiences during childhood. From a young age, they long for attention and recognition, hoping that one day there will be a mysterious power that can excite a big bang in their inner universe. Our design philosophy is also based on this. Whether it is products or artworks, they can bring users or audiences a unique experience, that is, self recognition, and give customers the ability to personalize and showcase their own value.

Productize and commercialize my current designs

Design cannot be separated from application scenarios and practical needs. Even if there is a great idea, it should be people-oriented.

Be a responsible designer or engineer

Working on a large sofa all day long.

Differentiate between usage scenarios and needs

I haven’t formed a fixed style yet, but I believe that art can transcend time, and the design style of the old times can still be combined with modern technology.

Proving its feasibility, design that is detached from reality cannot be called design completion

China. Eastern ideology is conservative and introverted, but this does not mean that traditional art cannot evolve. Note that I am talking about the evolution of Chinese culture itself rather than its integration with modern Western art. Chinese native art has its own unique charm, and I love it, but I am not sure that passion alone can help evolve a culture.

After my work was released, it was imitated for free by peers

I am very happy that my work has received international recognition for the first time

To create a product that balances aesthetics and practicality. The inspiration for using color gradient fabrics comes from the paintings of Van Gogh.

The traditional circular steering wheel allows both hands to move freely, it‘s easy to get the hands mixed up after turning and returning, while a half-spoke steering wheel can cause the other hand to grab the air when turning and turning back, so we aimed to build a steering wheel that avoids both problems.

Develop more car models from this.

one month

I decided to pursuit an inspiration.

We Agiling has already launched the production of Cyber Yoke, but we also plan to sell or lease the production rights.

I originally worked in the automotive industry.

Yes, Van Gogh

Tesla owners

Compare with half-spoke steering wheels: 1. Refuse "grab the air"; 2. Reduce "block screen"; 3. Refuse "block the leg".

It's not Cyber, nor Yoke,

It's CyberYoke.

Using NX to create design models and then using resin 3D printing to verify feasibility.

Create a steering wheel that combines the advantages of circular steering wheel and half-spoke steering wheel. The unique wheel rim shape of Oval Rectangle highlights a strong sense of technology and futurism, and the design of different materials and colors on the double rings of inner and outer reflects a special sense of layering. The application of particular material-color gradient fabrics provides more personalized choices.

Developed in Collaboration with CAS (Chinese Academy of Sciences).

Designed by Agiling, model made by CAS.

The development of the manufacturing process is more difficult than the design. The entire product development took one year. The foaming mold of the steering wheel body was modified three times, and the color gradient fabric was modified three times.

The surface material was hand-wrapped, and it was difficult to maintain the surface flatness. Quality control was the key.

Using resin 3D printing to verify feasibility, the use of resin materials results in significant dimensional errors, leading to longer mold modification times during the product trial production phase.

Just take a chance

For the development of color gradient fabrics, due to the high requirement for fabric extensibility for surface covering, the initial color displayed by the fabric is darker. Adjusting the fabric texture scheme can effectively reduce the color depth.

This product design is an improvement on the traditional round steering wheel which can improve the driver's forward vision. The wheel rim shape of Oval Rectangle highlights a sense of technology and futurism, and combines the advantages of circular steering wheel and half-spoke steering wheel.

Fabric is also a widely used interior material in high-end vehicles. The fabric we employ features a unique gradient color design, offering you an ultra-luxurious experience to premium automotive models. It is equipped with automotive-grade interior material treatments (water splash-proof, oil-resistant, and stain-resistant), along with high-temperature resistance, wear resistance, breathability, sweat permeability, and environmental safety. Additionally, it enhances elasticity and surface texture. Our fabric is spun from color-processed yarn, eliminating concerns about color fading.

The development of the manufacturing process is more difficult than the design. The entire product development took one year. The foaming mold of the steering wheel body was modified three times, and the color gradient fabric was modified three times. In addition, the surface material was hand-wrapped, and it was difficult to maintain the surface flatness. Quality control was the key.

Using NX to create design models and then using resin 3D printing to verify feasibility, the use of resin materials results in significant dimensional errors, leading to longer mold modification times during the product trial production phase.

The surface covering styles are divided into single and double rings, single and double colors, microfiber leather and color gradient fabric. [Top Luxury Series] - the types with color gradient fabric on outer ring, which brings you the Top aesthetics and the Luxury touch.

Well, I have to say it's not efficient, due to the lack of the experience of production, we made many mistake from initial design to market-ready product, also we learn a lot before the final production.

[Compare with Round SW]: Make the front view wider; Keep your hands at 3/9 o'clock; Enable tactile perception of rotation position. [Compare with Yoke SW]: Refuse "grab the air"; Reduce "block screen"; Refuse "block the leg"

For the development of color gradient fabrics, due to the high requirement for fabric extensibility for surface covering, the initial color displayed by the fabric is darker. Adjusting the fabric texture scheme can effectively reduce the color depth.

Since we launched our product on market and won A' Design Award, many automotive company also released similar design of steering wheels on their concept cars, we're very proud of it.

If only talk about design aspect, we are confident to explore more designs for car parts, but about marketing, investment and promotion seems more important than design work, we are very sorry to see this happen.
