Interior Design and Decor - Day 4 Desert Rose Inn - Video
Amko Leenarts is the Director of Interior Design for Ford Motor Company, creating the interior look for Ford's products worldwide. He spoke with Gizmodo about the design influences, technology, and safety considerations that go into future designs, and later today he'll be in Gizmodo's comments section answering your questions.
Amko has been with Ford since 2012, after a 12 years tour of duty with France's Peugeot-Citroen motor company. The Netherlands-born designer oversees the interior design teams working on Ford and Lincoln vehicles that will be coming out in the next several years.
Check out our interview below, and come back to Gizmodo at 1PM EST today, when we'll be hosting a commenter Q&A session with Amko.
Gizmodo: When you're doing interior styling, how closely are you following trends? Are you trying to make something that looks new right now or are you trying to predict what will look good down the line?
Amko Leenarts: The length of development that we do in cars is one of the longest in the world of industrial design. It varies from three to five years. So we are obliged to watch the meta-trends, but we don't necessarily have to be hyper-fashionable with the latest trends, because usually they go quickly back out of fashion as well. And remember, our cars keep being on the road for quite awhile, so we don't want them to be completely out of fashion within a year's time. However, there are some of what we call meta-trends that happen in terms of cultural environment, certain traditions in the world, obviously that leads us to certain material trends. So the materials that we add to the design have to have some sort of relevance in where the car is sold.
Gizmodo: How do you differentiate a car for the U.S. market versus one that's built for Europe or China?
Amko: That is definitely one of the challenges that I would say in my experience is a little bit unique to Ford Motor Company, since we do make models that are sold all over the world with the same structure and a similar appearance. The challenge that we have as a design organization is to make sure that the design is as flexible as possible so it can handle different material executions. That could mean that we have a variability in the size of the cupholdersthey need to be bigger in the U.S. than they need to be in Europe, while the cupholder in China needs to be more deep but slightly smaller diameter. So apart from materials we also have functional differentiation between the different regions that is definitely a big challenge. And the designs that can handle that variability the best are the ones that we choose for further development.
You can see it very clearly, there are large differences between Europe, America and China, they ask for different materials because their tastes, the cultural references that people have with materials, are different. So to give you an example, in America we have more difficulties to have the American customer accept wood without any lacquer, they want the wood trim really shiny. While in Europe [dull wood without lacquer] is considered as a more high-end solution. So it's that kind of flexibility that we talk about.
Gizmodo: What do you do differently when you're designing the interior for a $15,000 economy car versus, say, a $70,000 luxury SUV?

How Ford's Top Interior Designer Puts the Future in the Front Seat
Naples, FL (PRWEB) July 30, 2014

"When good design happens, you just don't notice it," said Kathy Kuo, New York-based interior designer. Good design _ sometimes deemed the je ne sais quois of interior design and architecture _ is the intent behind two series premiering on television Wednesday night and now available online at fyi.tv.
"Rowhouse Showdown" and "Tiny House Nation" are renovation and design shows that are part of the summer launch of the rebranded FYI Network, formerly known as Bio. FYI, a division of A+E Networks, stands for "for your imagination, inspiration and innovation" and focuses on four categories: food, style, relationships and homes.
The two new entrants are diving into a crowded pool filled with firmly established shows from HGTV, DIY, TLC and Bravo, but Gena McCarthy, senior vice president of programming at FYI and an executive producer for both shows, contends that her network intends to capture the attention of a younger audience than that of the other networks _ viewers with a median age of 40, primarily Gen X and Gen Y, who are big users of social media.
"They look for creative inspiration in Pinterest, Etsy and Houzz.com," McCarthy said.
"Some of the things that we think are relevant to this audience include how to get their first foot on the property ladder," she said. The network looked closely at the lifestyles that its target viewers were interested in such as the small-house movement, thrift style and things that are organic, recycled or authentic, she said.
Later this summer, FYI will debut "Red Hot Design," which features Shasta Smith, chief designer, welder, creator and entrepreneur of a furniture and artwork shop based in Sacramento. Smith and her crew will turn materials such as airplane wings and motorcycle hubcaps into furniture and art for clients.
FYI's foray into home renovation and design shows comes at a time when the housing market is slowly recovering.
"I don't think the recovery has hit everywhere," said Donna MacLetchie, an executive producer for Jane Entertainment, which produced "Rowhouse Showdown."
"That's kind of what we wanted to shine the light on. A lot of homes we're featuring are on the verge ... of a comeback."
Here, we take a closer look at FYI's maiden voyage into home renovation shows:
