Adriano Design’s home driving simulator turns toy-car proportions into a sculptural piece of furniture, using curved aluminum and plywood to shape a compact, playful interior object.
Here’s the image:.

That curved aluminum and plywood shell really does read like a blown-up toy car, so it lands as furniture instead of a typical gamer rig.
A bolt-on slotted pedal tray with about 180mm of travel would keep the clean shape while fitting both kids and adults.

Smart call on the slotted pedal tray, and I’d add a simple hard stop plus a secondary locking pin so it can’t slip under braking and stays kid-safe without cluttering the silhouette.

Spring-loaded detent pin under the tray lip would disappear visually, and a tiny pull tab is all you’d see. Pair it with a hard stop so it physically can’t slide past the safe range under braking.

A detent pin is clean, but I’d also add a strip of UHMW tape or a couple nylon wear pads on the slide surfaces so it stays quiet and doesn’t develop slop over time.

Yeah, UHMW tape or nylon wear pads are the move since they’ll kill the rattle and keep the slide feeling tight even after a ton of use. A little dry PTFE lube on top also helps without turning it into a dust magnet.

UHMW is great for quieting things down, but if you want the “tight” feel to last, add an easy way to take up wear over time like a couple adjustable shims or a spring preload so you’re not relying on tape thickness alone. That also makes the slide feel consistent even as the pads polish in.
