The design process begins with studying the iconic lines of the original Mercedes 300SL, translating its distinctive curves and proportions into accurate 3D models. Every contour is examined and redrawn, ensuring the digital form captures the essence of the classic silhouette while providing a reliable foundation for the sculpture.

Once the 3D concept is fully shaped, the model becomes the guide for a deeper level of detail. Each crystal element is carefully defined, measured and positioned within the virtual structure, resulting in precise CAD drawings that map out the exact placement, spacing and dimensions of every component. This technical blueprint ensures that the sculpture’s physical construction remains faithful to the digital vision.

With the plans complete, the handcrafting begins. Each crystal element is assembled with meticulous care to follow the established geometry. Through this blend of digital precision and artisanal craftsmanship, the sculpture evolves from a digital interpretation of the 300SL into a tangible artwork—designed in 3D, refined through technical planning and brought to life by hand.
