Created as a physical companion to the song, the vehicle reflects Laufey’s modern perspective on jazz while incorporating subtle design references to Miles Davis and his legendary trumpet. The result blends classic jazz heritage with contemporary artistry, translating the spirit of “Blue In Green” into a design that feels both timeless and new.
“Miles Davis’ music has this timeless, atmospheric quality,” said Laufey. “Seeing ‘Blue In Green’ translated into a physical design was surreal. We captured the feeling of the song, something classic, emotional and a little mysterious, and turned it into something that will actually move you.”
“My father always created music that people could live inside of,” said Erin Davis. “To see ‘Blue In Green’ reimagined and expressed through design like this is really special. It shows how deeply that feeling still resonates.”
“At Lexus, we’re always exploring how design, technology and culture can come together to create meaningful experiences,” said Sara Lara, senior manager, Lexus marketing. “Collaborating with Laufey to celebrate Miles Davis’ centennial was an opportunity to honor a legendary influence while showcasing a modern artistic perspective. The Blue In Green Edition RZ brings that vision to life, reflecting our approach to craftsmanship and innovation in electrified design.”
The vehicle was revealed during 100 Miles, a special live event presented by Lexus and streamed globally on Twitch, where Laufey also debuted her lyrical interpretation of the track in tribute to 100 years of Miles Davis’ musical legacy.
