    Designing the new look – from sketch to the show room.

    At the beginning of the design process, the initial sketches are usually no more than rough drafts drawn with pencils on paper. For the SANTA FE, the design team focused on achieving a calmer, more sophisticated form language. It underlines the wide stance and strength of the new design to achieve harmony and refinement.
