Nikola UTV Seat
An early prototype vehicle was at a UTV show were we had the ability to talk to a couple of Nikola Team members at. After showcasing our capabilities to the Nikola team we decided to work on a prototype seat concept together. Proving out we can co-develop together and build the future of UTV seating together.

Initial Design
Initially Nikola wanted a seat that was similar to aftermarket seats. Which is something that they already had in their prototype vehicle. So the initial design was to achieve a aftermarket suspension seat that fit the aesthetic of the vehicle. After review the client decided they wanted something a little more unique.
After some trial and error with miscommunication, we discovered that Nikola wanted a more advanced looking seat with a breathable, more customization design. With that came the final form and fit concept design.
