DISCOVER SANCTUARY — MATERIAL STORY
The LS CONCEPT reimagines the Lexus flagship as a private sanctuary — a serene interior space shaped by craftsmanship, innovation, and the thoughtful use of materials.
At the heart of this concept is Lexus’s message of DISCOVER and Imitate No One.
Through the interior CMF story, Lexus explores how tradition can be transformed into innovation, creating a future-facing expression of luxury rooted in Japanese craftsmanship.
Using Japanese cedar and molded plywood technology, Lexus and master craftsmen developed a new expression for seatbacks by hand-carving grooves and inlaying metal details.
The result is a warm, refined surface that celebrates both natural beauty and technical precision — while also supporting forest conservation and circular manufacturing.
Lexus reinterprets traditional lacquer with a modern metallic quality, created through collaboration with lacquer artists from Wajima.
Applied to interior ornaments, this material expresses depth, texture, and a distinctive sense of luxury while supporting local craftsmanship and recovery.
Natural wool brings a calm, tactile comfort to the seats and upholstery.
Meticulously woven and finished with advanced craftsmanship, it offers a soft, elegant sensory experience that enhances the feeling of sanctuary.
Bamboo is reimagined as a signature Lexus material, bringing warmth and light into the cabin.
Used in the trim, it creates a relaxed atmosphere while addressing the challenge of unused bamboo forests through purposeful material design.
Each material reflects Lexus’s commitment to sustainability, regional collaboration, and social contribution.
From forest preservation to local craft partnerships, the LS CONCEPT demonstrates how thoughtful design can create value beyond the vehicle itself.
Transforming everyday materials and traditional techniques into extraordinary experiences — that is Lexus innovation. The LS CONCEPT embodies a new luxury lifestyle: confident, adventurous, and unlike anything else.
