Corbeau came to us wanting to redefine what a racing sim could be at home. The category was dominated by rigs built for function alone: bulky, industrial, and better suited to a garage than a living space. That set the direction early. We wanted to bring a sense of craft to both the styling and the execution, creating a chassis that felt considered as an object while still delivering the rigidity and precision serious drivers expect.

Since sim setups are constantly evolving, adaptability became central to the brief. We explored a broad range of structural approaches, from bare extrusion frames to more enclosed, furniture-like forms, and each came with its own set of trade-offs. Open frames offered modularity and easy access to hardware, but read as raw and unfinished in a home setting. Enclosed forms felt more resolved, but risked limiting adjustment and compatibility as users upgraded their gear. The sweet spot lay somewhere in between. Aluminum beams paired with CNC-cut steel plates gave us a stiff, honest structure, while a front shroud and powder-coated finish brought a cleaner, more architectural presence. Adjustable steering, pedal, and seat plates, along with mounting patterns that support most major brands, meant the chassis could grow with its owner rather than be outgrown. We let that balance between performance and livability guide every decision.
