В дизайне транспорта, своей первой любви, Сид Мид редко упускает возможность проявить свою уникальную смесь футуризма и натуральности. Будь то дизайн унисайклов на солнечных батареях, автомобилей, роскошных яхт, интерьера Боинга-747, каждый проект отличается вниманием к деталям и просчитанным дизайном.



Он никогда не рисует свои автомобили просто на белом листе – всегда дорисовывает к ним окружение: части зданий, улиц. Сид считает, что нельзя рисовать концепты транспортных средств в отрыве от их «среды обитания», ведь есть некое пространство, в котором они «живут» и которое «живет» вместе с ними.
