The Studio Casti DrivePod was conceived as a fully-customizable item of furniture with materials and outlines designed for use in luxury environments. Meanwhile, the inner workings of this realistic pro-level driving simulator were developed through a series of tests involving professional engineers and drivers boasting high-calibre technological expertise. “The DrivePod evolved from a desire to move away from endless conventional solutions — from the “bare” ones where the structure is the protagonist to the “full-body” versions with shells recalling real cars,” says Paulo Casti. “It encouraged us to minimize the elements in DrivePod and resort to original outlines and surfaces with regards to products already available on the market.” The structure has two main elements: a simple sledge-type platform used to adjust the gap between the driver and the steering wheel and a single box structure containing all the technological equipment, including the curved screen. A customizable seat in terms of shape and finishing is mounted on the platform. The steering column is then attached to the box structure and can be moved closer to the driver in customized positions; StudioCasti.com.
